I would like to begin a thread, discussing what I hope most here understand to be the merits of a "successful" long-term trading strategy.
My <b>Ultimate Goal</b> has been to produce compounding systems that are the real deal - designed to perform for decades without breakdown while sporting an outstanding calmar ratio (CAGR*/DD**).
If you are a "newbie" or only moderately involved with trading perhaps this will be a beneficial experience. In no way am I at the same level as many of the "Elite" traders. In fact what I do is relatively simple, so I hope many will enjoy the dialogue.
Of course, many of you will see this as a direct opportunity to gather a following to then sell my commercial products and services. Per ET rules <b>NO RE-DIRECTION LINKS WILL BE PROVIDED IN MY POSTS</b>.
Of course, others can look back through my old threads to not only see if I have indeed improved while a 2+ year member at ET, they may run across some linking info...but that does not preclude my present efforts.
<b>I have contacted moderators in advance.</b> -- so no sense hitting the complaint button. <b>My profile contains enough info about me and my trading.</b> If things go well in the next 6 months, I may tailor services to become an EliteTrader.com advertiser <i>- if I choose.</i>
But, I will provide charts and graphs (without link/name) as time evolves to show my good/bad performance. Meanwhile, I will try and provide the occasional covered call trade set-up or my futures and ETF system bias.
Again, the thrust of this thread is to weed out the chatter -- if a trading "system" cannot perform for 5-20+ years, beat the market AND contain a plus-size compound APR, it will only attract high-risk capital (huge annual gains are limited by time and scalability, most high-gain hedge funds blow up). These patently can never grow to become that substantial. With the right growth approach and vehicle, can the "ultimate goal" be reached?
At least the possibility of taking a few thousand in multi-millions is a lofty enough goal. Most have deemed this to be an <i>impossible</i> task. I strongly disagree.
