    Hundreds of trade strategies already revealed at the forum.

    Is there a reason why you don't use ET search menu or look in the "Hall of Fame" thread ???

    Then again, maybe you have done that and you reviewed and tried each of those trade strategies...deciding you wanted something different...did that happen ???

    I just find it strange that some traders come to this forum and after a few months ask for folks to reveal their trade strategies after many have already done such in great detail.

    SunTrader and Chubbly like this.
  2. It is because they have been losing money in how they trade these strategies.

    You just mentioned in another thread that markets have changed significantly in the recent years from the 2000 era, I see a contradiction here.

    Are you suggesting that past strategies that were shared and presumably worked well are still of equal or near-equal merit in today's markets? If so how do you explain the dearth of recent posts and claims of steadily increasing equity curves from most of these veteran traders?

    Define the risk
    Take the SL
    Systematically take profit
    Any given outcome is far from certain

    No contradiction because those are two different issues involving 1990s versus today's markets.

    For example, the issues I mention about the 1990s were the surprise rate cuts, crazy IPOs volatility out of the gate, commercialization of the internet, enormous volatility ranges, burst of the bubble and so on.

    In today's markets, we do not have that at all.

    Simply, no contradiction.

    In contrast, I believe you're trying to compare trade strategies (something I didn't mention) that traders used in the 1990s versus today's markets. The only thing I discussed was that traders that made a bundle during the 1990s...lost it faster when the bubble burst (that's an important aspect you overlooked in my reply you're talking about).

    With that said, the past strategies at this forum...they were not shared in the 1990s...I believe this forum was started when the bubble burst although I believe this forum was here in 1998 - 1999 but not as a forum but as a fee-base strategy site that quickly changed its identity to a discussion forum (ask Baron about such for clarification) when the dot.com bubble exploded and fell like a hot potatoe. :cool:

    That's the difference and the other reason why there's no contradiction considering the Hall of Fame thread are primarily strategies associated in recent years (not +20 years ago)...occurring after the bubble burst...after 1990s.

    Therefore, you got your years mixed up and those veteran traders you're talking about that made specific claims about their steady increasing equity curves here at ET (not sure whom you're talking about)...I'm sure you're not talking about someone that traded in the 1990s involving the era I was talking about and making my comparisons.

    As to today's markets versus markets since 2005, if someone told you they're still profitable...markets changed after the 2008 - 2009 financial fiasco that in my opinion any trader worth their merit should have been able to adjust (adapt).

    That's the key to any longevity in this business of trading or investing...if you can't adapt...you won't survive. Usually that adapting involves the trader (not the strategy). For example, someone here mention that he still uses the exact same strategy but he now has more experience and can better recognize changes in the volatility (a lot lower now since the financial fiasco of 2008 - 2009). Thus, he has more none trading days now in which he only trades about 5 days per month whenever volatility shows up in comparison to prior recent years where he was trading almost every trading day...

    Yet, he's still using the exact same trade strategy while his profit level remains about the same even though he's trading less mainly due to the fact he's also gotten better at position size management, risk management and discipline that some traders develop when they get more trading experience.

    Once again, no contradiction considering I was talking about different trading eras involving technology, FED, IPOs, commercialization of the internet whereas you seem to be talking about recent trading years compare to today's markets via trade strategies.

    Based upon his posting history...I don't think that's the case. In other words, I don't think he's researched, tested and applied any strategy that's been discussed at this forum unless he did such prior to becoming a member of this forum.

    Most newbies at this forum admit when they read a strategy here...they basically tried applying it right away after a few days of learning without a trading plan and while admitting later that they already have an existing discipline problem and/or psychological baggage from prior poor trading performance with other strategies elsewhere.

    Simply, a lot traders come here looking for the holy grail and they think successful trading involves just a trade signal strategy when successful trading involves more than just that in reference to the discretionary strategies shared here.

    In contrast, there's a few automated strategies shared here but they seem specific to particular trading software and programming. I think there are better resources out there at other forums that specifically have threads or sections setup for folks to upload their automation strategies regardless if they work or not. My point, if he's looking for automation stuff...there's better resources out there that has more sharing about such than ET.

    I think that's a request I've seen recently here at ET by others...requesting Baron to setup a section where folks can upload their automation or coded strategies for sharing.

    Go long all-in with deep OTM options with very little time value. Weeklys are best for this secret technique. Buy options with only a few hours before expiration, if you can. Or minutes even. Choose any stock at random; it doesn't really matter. Buy as many options as you can for a buck each. I guarantee you will make some kind of a killing. Be sure to use 100% of your account, or you won't get the full result.
