There are inherent disadvantages to the conventional CC to the active trader. But your slippage points are valid.
BTW, it is comments like this that suggest you really don't understand the topic being discussed. Anyone who truly understands the topic would...
I suggest that you be a bit more likeable here. You actually might learn something on occasion. Contrary to what you might think, you aren't the...
Certainly, your points are correct. I wasn't really talking about angel investing in tech funds. My skills lie in discovering areas where a...
Hey, who said anything about futures? .... don't let the cat out of the bag here!! :D
Sure, you are correct. I guess we are just assuming two different things. Maybe because in my fast typing I swapped terms here and there....
Whoah.... your lack of understanding is what is confusing you it seems. I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to help you understand. You...
Like I said earlier though, in my 1/2 joking post. 3000 ES daily is ok as long as it is scaled in. Obviously a 3000lot market order is gonna...
The only reason I'm still participating in this discussion is because I like you Heech, and you are incredibly civil, even when skepticism is...

Sorry Ninna, you missed the point. I'm NOT talking about 20% annual. I'm suggesting around 350% annual and a strat that can only scale up to...
Sorry Big D, Gonna have to side with the other guys on this one. It seems that you are actually the one who is missing the critical points here,...
I really didn't catch this post before, but I think it is worth getting back to. I really would like Heech's take on the question that I asked...
Sarcastic isn't the word. Not sure what I would call it; vocab isn't my strong suit. I was totally serious about the theoretical...
So true. Even with a sharpe 3.4, I only really ever use about 15-20% of available margin. A high sharpe isn't a guarantee of rapid success....
Your premise is correct, but I don't see a reason to stop at 150 cars on a ticker like ES. He already stated that he rarely nails the top or...
Best of luck. :)
I completely agree with what you are saying. We are sort of talking in circles here. You are talking about 40% annual. In that case I would...
Ding ding ding... We have a winner!!!
