Traders' Roundtable

The best system of managing money for a short term system (in my experience only - which says it all - probably? - about my ability to design a short term system) is to take your money and heap in on an open fire place. That way you get exactly the same resuly over the long run - but without any of...

sluggo, thanks so much.. Definitely will have to look at all of those.. Sorry I didn't attach the backtest report.. (now added, above) What do you think I can do about it.. it's really raw as of right now.. no stops/limit orders.. http://www.tradingblox.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=19228&highlight=...

Guys, my system trades short term (intraday and max of 2 days).. It's 60% winning trades.. what good money management would you suggest using?

It's EUR-USD pair 1 hour.. Avg profit is less than avg loss but it wins more frequently than it loses..

Thanks a lot guys, seems like IB is still a preferred choice

It's been a while since it was asked Let's see what's the best/chepest brokerage for futures today.. is Tradestation and Interactive brokers still the preferred choice? If not, what you guys found that is better than the 2 mentioned above? Mostly US futures markets..

glad you've noticed

no snow in the mountains though!

I am biased that each market has its own personality..there are markets I dont like even during backtesting stage, not because its losing or winning but because I know I cant get enough size on it once the system will start accumulate profits and get a bigger size... There are markets that trend and...

We run it on 80 years of data, I don't know other details since I don't know technical stuff

makes sence to me too, but doesn't Monte Carlo leave much space to a chance? What about exhaustive run?

Short term, 2 days hold on avg, PF 1.4 . Win 62% Los 38%

Tim, what from your experience works best for futures, if system has a win per. of 60%?

I am using tools I've developed with my friend, he's a programer.. I could give you lines only, but that'd be boring.. I don't know if it'll be true or false, we'll just have to see..

I expect a big drop until Nov 18-th.. then it should go up. Around March 26-27 should be a low... see attached, the work's been done with Neural Network's help.. we'll see if this it true

Indeed horrible month for stocks, but no selling climax yet.. I am looking for something that happened in China, Phillipines during last week, around 12-15% drop during one single day. Its on the way after the correction ends. GDP that'll come out in 2 months will be very negative, some analysts eve...

seems like today is going to be a bad one, possibly monday will be the same just like it was on 1987 Oct 16 and then Oct 19-th

hi guys, I've also been thinking about it a lot lately. Since Cotton, Coffee and other markets gone electronic and trade 24/day there's no way but adapt I think. Most important is where markets trade, if its Cotton it'll have thin volume and no volatility during night hours of US, when american trad...

DAX will be on fire tomorrow with HRE with no financing from german banks..seems like no one seems to care there: Bundesbank said that private banks should provide financing, but private banks said: why the theck should do that? 400 bln balance sheet with bad mortgages, thats quite a mess to bail ou...

its not done yet...

hi Nussgipfel, some Gann students I talk say October 7-th is next low, today's (Oct 2-nd) high in US indexes...
