Grinding it out, day after day

Thank you for sharing with us Lescor.

How important to your trading is time & sales and Dom? Do you think you could trade based on charts only or reading order flow is just as important to you as charts?

And one more question, you mentioned that you trade open orders, RTM and other strat. On ave how much each strat contribute to your bottom line? Is it even, like 30% for all three, or one is the main bread and butter and rest just small %?

 

I don't even have a t&s or dom up on any of my screens.

The break down of % profits derived by the 7 strategies I traded the most in 2009:
18, 20, 10, 6, 36, 2, 8

Those same strats in 2008 did:
42, 9, 7, 7, 31, 0, 2

 

if you dont mind me asking what's your Zodiac sign, Lescor ?

 

Thank you for your reply Lescor.

I trade RTM also and some others, if you don't mind me asking out of those 7 strat which one represents RTM?

Thank you

 

What I want to know is my 6 lucky numbers for tomorrow's lotto draw!

 

Same question here Lescor, I have 3 systems, 2 of them are RTm in different time frames.

Its reassuring to see you trade them as well.

Thanks, man,, Have a great weekend,

EF

 

70% of my trading is mean reversion in some form or another. Different time frames, different rules and objectives.

 

Zodiac signs have some inherent traits-you can read more about in linda goodman's book- combine that with some ancient indian and chinese astrology. It's pretty interesting to say the least. we could take it to another thread rather than ruin this good thread if you want.

 

Sometimes sarcasm is hard to pick up on on the web...

Thanks for the thread lescor.

Can I be yet another pest and pick your brain?

Did you have profitable strategies before you went to a prop shop (ie. did it just take the discipline of the office setting to get you over the top)?

Did you receive any meaningful training at the firm or did you figure it out on your own?

How much did being in an office with other traders who were already successful contribute to you becoming profitable?

Thanks again.

 

Hi Lescor,

How do you measure weather an idea has promise or not? What metrics, if any, do you use to determine weather you should move the ideas into your day to day mix of strategies?

Thanks,
