Cash & Carry

Quote from MrsSavant:

Whats in it for Electric? Remiraz?

What you do not understand, Electric is this spreadsheet guy with perhaps 100 hundred spreadsheets he updates and tracks.

He does not feel insecure and shares everything with traders all over the world.

He does not understand that people just think of themselves and do not "give" like Electric does.

He is in his own world and just moves on...never taking anything for himself.

He is worth much more... Remiraz. and I knew that 17 years ago when I married him.

Wifey.

Something's fishy. ES said on Oanda forum a couple of months ago he did not know spreadsheets very much.

And after 17 years, it's about time your investment paid off, don't you think? Isn't the Mrs. just ES's multiple personality?

Remiraz,

This is hard to answer...its according to the depth of the cycle and the exposures taken.

In the New Cash & Carry I have guaged exposure to be institutionally safe and will achieve the projected 25% APR by the end of the 365 days traded, barely. If there is a bonus of trading perhaps the 1:4 max risk to cumulative profit will make it to 1:4.

In the beginning of the New Cash & Carry, I will be ultra conservative and under-exposed until I can understand how the four pairs work in unison.

Quote from Remiraz:

Now that the troublesome topic is out of the way, I want to go back doing some work on this system.

If we're holding the pairs NZD/USD, AUD/JPY, GBP/CHF, We already settled that if the pairs were to all go downhill we'll experience a huge unrealized drawdown:

Pair 1 - Down
Pair 2 - Down
Pair 3 - Down

ElectricSavant, I need to tap into your experience trading C&C.

Q1) How many pairs need to rebounce to ensure we finish with positive returns?

Will this scenario allow C&C to end positive:

Pair 1 - Up
Pair 2 - Down
Pair 3 - Down

Q2) How far does the rebounce have to be? Say your entered Long at 1.200 and the pair drop to 1.100, will a rebounce to 1.150 allow the system to go into positive? What about 1.135? Do we need a full 1.200 retrace or close to 1.900?

Thanks for all the help so far!

What do you think of one strategy where a huge basket of currencies (5-7 pairs) are carried so their respective movement cancel out each other?

Is Remiraz another one of ES's personalities? They seem to be carrying most of the Journal all by themselves (and Wifey too, aho said she was gone forever but somehow came back to promote OPM for ES ;-) )

ElectricSavant · Jul 24, 2005

ahh.. forget it....

You folks amaze me...

I simply feel too constrained....and do not fit in with OPM. wifey has her own aspirations.

I am not even allowed to have a helper....

remiraz, has no connection to wifey and I, other than a reader of this Journal...

I just wanted the best for the readers of this Journal, and I meant well.

Cya...

Well, you have been a CTA before right? OPM is about constantly being scrubbed with a fine tooth comb and receiving more phone calls asking how their moneys doing than phone calls from your girlfriend.

Not for me...want no part of it....I am not selling anything....

When I was a CTA it was for a Japanese Website with Japanese Clients. They took care of Sales...I got a 10% incentive fee thats all. No management fee. I resigned after only 6 months, shortly thereafter they discontinued the System. That was my short experience as a CTA.

All my life people have used me and sometimes my ideas....Wifey says I am worth more.

As far as I am concerned this Journal is closed...

Unless they want to flame around a little..I'm Game...
man..Magna is going to let me have it now...sheeesh

Boy, are you getting your personalities confused now? 1st, you want OPM, then you don't but Wifey does, and last you want money from a rich person to believe in you... yet, anytime someone really questions you, it's Journal closing time. How many Journals and Systems have you closed? Jeez!
