Levi, Your monthly returns are interesting. Do you have a high risk/trade? Or are you trading a very correlated portfolio? I designed my system to be more conservative, I don't have any losing months (yet) greater than 20%, conversely I don't have any winning months greater than 24%. I see you are ...

I have traded IPOs for many years. The only unusual aspect of the Facebook fiasco is its size. Look back to the 90s and recall the insane valuations and the corruption and intrigue. Remember the CSFB scandal and all the other shenanigans. I have had endless letters from US lawyers over the years as...

High win %
I recently came up with a system with 80% winners and avg loss = 2x avg win. I am having difficulty understanding why and how this system is so accurate. But maybe that is why I havent made any money trading LTTF in the last 4 years. I wonder if anyone else successfully trades something with similar...

40 years ago you could probably trade just 2 or 3 unrelated futures contracts like bonds and corn and oil and have a good return/risk profile. 30 years ago we have the turtles trading a portfolio of US futures with good results on a short/medium term system. 20 years ago we need to start going longe...

Finessing MOO orders
Does anyone attempt to get a better price than the open by monitoring market action and waiting for a dip, etc? Do you think it helps your slippage in the long run?

For me, the attractiveness of the financial markets is the scalability. Theoretically you can earn the same return on basically any amount of capital. So say you have an outstanding 50% year. On $10,000,000, thats $5,000,000 - pretty good year by most folks standards. On $10,000, thats only $5,000. ...
