Beating Larry Williams record II

Quote from bubba7:



Thanks for responding. I am working on two items for my journal:

1. A chart book using the attached excel format and 2. an "edge" matrix to format an excel spread sheet on all the edges I have run into in the last 30 years or so. I am seeking to get the right columns in the spread sheets.

Several people in this thread are oriented to this stuff in a very constructive manner.

I think that it will be possible with a lot of data on edge trading to construct a path to more porfitable ways by noting the connections among the edge methods.

I trade with an SCT orientation that appearently plagues handicaped readers etc. The chart shows the relative amounts of points taken through the day and I have coincidentally incorporated a potential dail performance possiblility by relating profits to the L/L range and where a given day ranks YDT in the spectrum of H?L ranges.

I also track my ratio on equities to indexes. It runs 50 to 1 ordinarily.

Thanks for so much for your input.

Quote from bubba7:



There are always tradeable equities that stem from my searches weekly and daily assessments. I also have a tenured list that, technically, are extremely repeatable. I trade many accounts on POA in parallel.

I do trade more frequently than 1/2 the time available as well when I am in the market. But I do not trade when I am doing other things like travel, exploration, on assignment or on visits, primarily. I do not hesitate to go to cash when I plan to be away. And to ramp up again takes a few days. A three year period takes these ripples out.

Thank you for your comments and asking.

Thanks Bubba. I suppose you as a swing trader know very well how to enjoy life than many (intra)day traders do. :cool:

Could you post a TA chart showing a couple of day's trading entries, exits points and maybe some signals you took off whatever you're using?

Pick some good days if you will.

People are actually posting messages to this Sabena freak -- and it doesn't look like he's even posted since January (7 months ago:eek:

We've been waiting and waiting, waiting patiently for a breakout, whether up or down. :confused: :)

Hi Sabena, spot-on.

I've been working on how to measure and improve performance. The travel range approach you mentioned above has been in my mind for long-time. But there are still some questions.

How can we effectively/ precisely measure the daily travel range, say based on points or % (of yesterday's market)?

What is the average (or the range of ) travel range (daily) of SP500/ES according to your statistics so far?

Whether it would be easier or harder to capture the travel range in a much volatility day based on your trading system?

What's your current capture % of travel range based on your trading system?

Do you have a target capture % in mind when planning to beat Williams' records?

What would be your idea of the maximun attainable capture % we can see in the future?

Your feedback would be highly appreciated.

Cool set of Q's this is the kind of stuff that would be handy to know from each person who is running one or more successful edges.
 
Greendog,

Don't let it worry you. Ramoutar once gave us the answer some time ago:

"Subscribers here by thousands float, and jostle one another down, Each paddling in his leaky boat, and here they fish for gold and drown. Now buried in the depths below. New mounted up to heaven again, they reel and stagger to and fro, At their wits' end. like drunken men. Meantime, secure on Garraway cliffs, A savage race, by shipwrecks fed, Lie waiting for the foundered skiffs, and strip the bodies of the dead."

Framed and in my office.

P.S. Ramoutar did not say whether he is also paddling in a leaky boat between this pack.

I paddle a leaky boat everyday, and have sunk many times. I haven't died yet, and will allow no one to strip my body!
