  2. I don't watch the 200 day MA. But there are times when I will start reading how the market is approaching the 200 day MA so it seems that it is becoming an important level. So I will keep that level in mind.

    I guess "indirectly" I do watch the 200 day MA. It's just that I don't watch it for myself, I watch it because everyone else is watching it if that makes any sense.

    Thanks! vix datafeed updates only once every 10 seconds (as I remember)... if you watch ticks on ES, the vix would be lagging... wouldn't that be confusing? Do you also pull up a 10 seconds chart for ES or no?

    Also why do you think the relationship diverge?

  5. 1) Sharpe Ratio ? Correlation Barclays CTA Index ? T Bonds ? Other Benchmark ?
    2) Average monthly RoR ?
    3) Winning Month,Losing Month ? Recovery Period ?
    4) Do you watch 240 min charts ?

    biz, if you know it, I will take your answer into consideration too... I would not subscribe to the whole divergence theory unless I think I know what is going on behind the scene.

    What time frame are you focused on when you trade this way? In other words, how far are you projecting ahead when you decide the market is going up or down and then execute a trade?

    Thank you for sharing.

  8. In a place that you said has minimal value (ET)...

    and that you said provided boredom...

    and given the fact that you are pretty anonymous...

    and that we get a lot of paper traders that claim to be special

    why do you think "Professional Trader" applies to you?

    and why do people so readily fall all over themselves to prostrate?
