Average (2/4) on N Low (1/4) on O High (1/4) on C I never had a problem cutting losses, but it took me 6 years to be able to let profit run to some extent and become a winning trader. Now, a decade into trading, I still need to make an effort in letting profit run. Anyone here has deep insight into ...

200-week is probably too slow, 200-day is more practical. Yes, if you trade individual stocks, a filter on the index is almost necessary, you don't want to go long in a bear market, and you don't want to miss too much of a bull market. How you define bull and bear markets is up to you, either your x...

babelproofreader, thanks for your recommendation, I'll check that out as well, looks like there is some programming involved - I am not familiar with R, but learned programming in C, VB etc. rhc, certainly will do. My initial impression so far: I haven't received the registration information yet, th...

Trading Record Keeping Software
Can someone recommend a good software (free or for-a-fee) for trades record keeping? Preferably the software allows one to analyze P/L, Reward/Risk on individual trades (assuming I can input initial stop loss level), plot equity curve, and do all the standard metrics calculations etc. I trade mainly...

Dear tokido: I don't use Trading Blox (I am using MetaStock to view EOD data by Norgate). So I can't comment on how to link Norgate data to Trading Blox. Other more knowledgable memember may comment on on that. Also, I'd suggest that you contact Norgate customer service directly, they are very respo...

A few years back, when I just started trading, I spent a lot of time studying these indicators, without leading to any success. Then, one day, a light bulb clicks on and it dawned on me that these indicators (eg, MACD, Stochastics) are all just distorted presentation of the price series and pretend ...

IBD (Investor's Business Daily) Past Issues
Anyone here knows if there are any online archives of past issues of IBD (Investor's Business Daily) in PDF format?
Specifically, I am looking for the year-end issues of 2005, 2004, 2003 etc. and don't feel like going to a library.

There is no doubt regarding the value of adding more markets to select trades, because you will increase sampling size, N. According to the law of large numbers, as N -> infinity, sample mean -> population mean. In other words, assume that one has a positive expectancy system, increasing the number ...

I think that one of the reasons that some pure trend-followers (eg, Richard Dennis and his cohort) do not want to miss even a single big trend is that big trends are relatively rare. I found that these people mostly trade only futures markets, which do not have that many markets, especially when you...
