Quote from Gabfly1:
I see you still didn't answer the question that has now been asked twice in this thread. Pacing yourself, are you?
I'd accept performance histories, even if they were hypothetical, now, to summarize, I've read a lot of posts, and haven't gotten talking about any professional aspects such as data feeds, software licenses, or any other product that might help create a trading system. I think observing a buy and hold investment and calling it trend following gives the theory and use a bad name.
I've found the most competent individuals on the internet can at least talk and discuss their software issues when it comes to trading. I find it very interesting to read the reviews of all of the data vendors, software developers, and API's.
I'll summarize: Where is the discussion of Tradestation? Easy Language, Ninja Trader, TradeBullet, Trader68, Multicharts, e-Signal, BarChart.com, any broker, or a +, -, %, ^, $, (, ),*, /, possibly {, }, [, ], or any amount of logic with the | sign?
Shall we try to go over which ones are more likely to be in really productive discussions? Does it have something to do with 3rd party verification. Oops 2257 on the ask.
Holding through up trends is no different. If there is sell discipline it may outperform or about the same the time period, but that doesn't change what I don't want to pay any money for.
I think it would be better to focus less on what is out there, and try and create something original if he really wants to discuss these topics, and not embellish at the thought of one more well wisher who read the book but did not acquire any new skills from it. The trading classes most likely do not even discuss hedging strategies in their proper form. Rollover, contango, backwardation. When it comes to switching to reality, I find strategic planning is very important.
Is there something in your media you find interesting, Mr. Covel? I'm looking more for original dialogue than what I can read in your books, and, incidentally, the only thing that has that many pages that I want to read starts with a c, has f as the next letter, and a at the end.
Watching NQ at 2256.
