  2. Yes.

    :D

    Most cro magnons have some kind of quantitative analyst in-house to model their trades, but besides that their only advantage is data. Since I'd estimate my database to be worth between $20,000 and $35,000, naturally either a wealthy individual or institution should have this but most of them wouldn't even know where to start.

    If you have data then the only other thing that cro magnons might have is a faster computer but since my programs are in Multicharts Multicharts doesn't use anymore than 2 gb so it's not like you could do a bunch of calculations. You'll still do a bunch of calculations and they're probably faster than mine but if you wait by your pc it'll give you the optimal values.

  3. Seriously now...

    Judging by your posts, this thread surely has to be some sort of wind-up.

  5. Heh. Should I have said the last 30 days?

    But, seriously, pfgbest doesn't offer a reset, and they only sent you the trades you made at the bid and ask, so that was for 40% from a $50,000 account to about 69,5.

  6. I just think trading options should be to profit from moves in the underlying, not what the option will decay to or whether volatility will change. Why trade that?

    If I wanted to study maths and statistics theory distributed Weibel I would have tried to get a Phd, but I saw more than enough of such things in Empirical Analysis using STATA.

  7. Weren't you attempting to sell your C2 system for $5mm? 7 systems... the best with a CAGR of 7% and the worst at -31%.

    The QID system lost 50%: http://www.collective2.com/cgi-perl/c2systems.mpl?systemid=44396934

  8. $8.5mm. But not the one I've generally been referring to here. I'd never sell my futures system, but I would sell my pairs system, and that's what I posted true as C2's history never goes away.

    Congratulations.

    I also sim traded a day trade version of my system for 30 days a couple of years ago for fun and it was awesome (2losses)!

    30 days a system doesn't make. The next three months were a disaster. So what paper money. Consistency over years matters in this business. Good luck

    PS

    My success is proof you can sell time and volatility as part of a comprehensive and consistently profitable strategy.
