Did I say anything about betting? I wouldn't bet you a dollar that your grandma couldn't sing happy birthday. Though I will say I'm a trader & programmer.
In that case, I will bet a million dollars that your mother does NOT have two vaginas and that your program doesn't work and that you are NOT a trader. http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/20/hazel-jones-two-vaginas-porn/ PS: Let me quote the most successful trader on ET Handle123 when he commented in your 2010 thread: "Normally I would give advise to someone like you that you will never make as a trader and to stop giving people like me all your money, but I doubt you will heed my advise. I was actaully rolling on the floor laughing when I saw your backtest of 68 sample size, I am still laughing about that." Heed these words of Handle123: "you will never make as a trader." Do you understand the meaning of "never"?
from the 4500 where do you stand now? any leverage/ margin? what is your trading platform or where are you doing your trades? anyway good luck, look forward to the journal rest of the year. have you had any practice prior to this? (backtest, simulators)
+$8. Couldn't get the double-vagina image out of my mind, very distracting, my trading progress was delayed by weeks, if not months.
+$16. went against setup twice, then hesitated. If today means anything, it is today that I declare that I have found the holy grail. Actually I found the grail long time ago, but I didn't know it was the HOLY one (for some reason, when I was typing the HOLY one, the double-v image got into my mind again. I think I was traumatized). Caution: I may change my mind tomorrow or later. PS: I may be joking or I may not be thinking clearly, I don't know which, the power of the double-v is too strong.
currently stands above 4700, despite emg's wish. not sure about your second question. about backtesting, I don't know what it is, how it is done. about simulation, I hardly lasted for a full day when I was simulating. For example, I was simulating with one contract. Then I got bored, and decided to put on a 100 contracts. It was very satisfying to see your fake account increase suddenly by $100,000. But of course, the next thing that happened is the account dropped by $250,000. And that was the end of the simulation!
The HOLY grail is shit. It didn't work. Changed to an earlier method, with some modifications, don't want to fight two fronts at the same time. Now focus on one front. Hope it will work. Leave the second front alone, for the time being. Today's result: +41.
