That spreadsheet sounds great, but it must be from a version of Excel too new for my Excel 2003 to open. Could you save it as an older version and...
Thank you. Money-weighted (IRR) is more appropriate because I am an individual investor wanting an annual report card for my account.
I trade from an account. Sometimes I withdraw from it to pay an expense. Sometimes I add new savings. How do I calculate performance (ROI) on that...
Thank you, I liked those.
What do you mean by expectancy?
If you are talking about trend following, a longer time frame requires that you set your stop loss lower. If you get stopped out your loss is...
I don't know the answer to nonlinear5's riddle. Personally I don't try to anticipate what the market will do, but I try to understand its current...
I haven't done any testing. I subtract 3 times the 10-day ATR from the 5-day MA and that is my provisional exit. But I may exit sooner. If...
Everything I have is severely undervalued in CAPE terms (or some other metric) and climbing quickly. I would like more diversification than I...
I have looked for forums in position trading and trend following. Nothing active. I have a plan like what you describe. I always write plans for...
Rabbitone and Deaddog, Elite Trader doesn't facilitate position trading. There is no forum for it. Are we the only three here who do it? Is there...

Thanks for that link, and to all of you. My head is spinning from how much my view of investing has changed. Not long ago I concluded, from books,...
So the PA man meditates on the bare chart. Doesn't even draw in S&R lines because you don't need to draw it to see it. While you engage price in...
OK I got the presidential cycle wrong. All this time I thought this should be a bad year! Maybe it still will be. Where can I learn more about bar...
If you’ll engage me I’ll gladly take your cruelty! You can probably teach me more than I can teach you, but I wouldn’t rule out the latter either....
Why do you distinguish indicators from price action? Indicators are mainly price based, to my knowledge. I must not understand your terms. And...
Other than the generic meaning of the phrase "study Price Action," what do you mean by that? As for back-testing, I will look for a book on it,...
Newbie here. I don’t want to buy-and-hold anymore. Nor day-trade. I want to buy stocks with low PEs (and underpriced commodity ETFs) when they...
