Interesting perspective, schulzey. I did this many years back with daily prices, when the WSJ still printed the market data tables toward the end...
Just checked the markets, only to see that my short was closed out for a $350 loss. Too bad this market shakes everyone out left and right. No...
Haha, my actions are already predictable :)
Short @ 1240.50, Stop @ 1247.50 Boy, that was long absence from the market. I believe I spotted an obvious support area at 1245 and shorted it...
tihfa, I don't trade pullbacks. Too much of a gamble if you ask me. I strictly trade what I see, instead of anticipating that some support area...
You must have participated in the 50-60pt rally on that day, logic_man. There was only one buying opportunity that I might have taken last week....

jasinhbca, I saw your P&L plots, I admire your analytical approach. The thoughts you share and the efforts you put in at reassessing the trading...

Based on the assumption that we are generally more calm dealing with virtual money (i.e. paper trading) than with real money, I came up with the...
If you look at more than one time frame just because you cannot find a setup, you are basically forcing yourself into trades. I backtested my...
I agree with you wholeheartedly! If someone claims to be a trend follower, you simply do not expect him to day trade. If that person actually does...
Call it dumb luck, or simply incompetence that I have not found any entry opportunity according to my tactics in recent days. There were no...
I don't believe there is any grand masterplan whatsoever, just a general concept. Typical material of conspiracy theorists. And what is so wrong...
LOL
Abe, I haven't looked at either with regards to my strategy, yet. I'm sure it would work but I just find the DAX slightly random in its behavior...
