So I will just post in normal threads instead.Quote from Babak:
harry,
I think you misunderstood the question. I am NOT asking for your 'performance'. I am asking if you are making money. Yes or no. Its that simple. If you are not even using the system...then just say so.
Why are you comparing yourself to the predictors?
performance means positive performance implictly. Gee 20% for daytrading futures hey give up if you don't do at least +100% ! Perhaps you don't talk about futures and perhaps you just give a fake numbers. I only talk about that. But If one only do 20% with daytrading futures it is not surprising that stochastilly you would be negative some years. Quote from Babak:
harry,
this is the difference:
PERFORMANCE: 2000 20% 2001 11% 2002 -5%
MAKE $$$: 2000 yes! 2001 yes! 2002 no!
Hope that clears it up.
[ps figures are hypothetical]
Quote from harrytrader:
See the picture which represents the theoritical path of local tops and bottoms on spot and future calculated on daily scale - but which impacts intraday scale when it enters its probability zone - but one should understand that it is the same product so that calculation made on future has impact on the spot:

Quote from Babak:
harry, I see 22 Dow levels on that chart you provided. How did you know which one of the 22 would be 'the low' and how did you profit from this? Thanks
