We're all happy for your progress I remember not too long ago you were around 8 MM hehe. Enjoy the gasoline at 2.17 while you can :/ I just paid 2.77 to fill up yesterday. ugh. I think I mentioned something about correlation and adjusted diversification a few pages back... and you asked a question regarding how to properly test it in different time frames... I haven't responded b/c I actually do not know (yet). I'm quite a bit newer at this than you are and am still figuring out proper methods and software to use on how to do this... if anyone else has had experience with testing correlation and diversification do share. WB from your vacation!
I WOULD IMAGINE THAT RUNNING A 2 YR CORRELATION/OPTIMIZATION WOULD BE PROPER.....MOSTLY B/C OF THE RECENT CHANGES IN COMMODITY PRICES OVER THE LAST 2 YRS....SINCE I'M VERY overweight IN COMMODITY TYPE SECTORS, I IMAGINE DAILY PRICES FROM 5 YEARS AGO WITH OIL AND OTHER METAL COMPANIES DIDN'T MOVE ANY WHERE CLOSE TO HOW THEY ARE MOVING NOW (VOLATILITY IS MUCH GREATER NOW)..... THIS WOULD GREATLY AFFECT 5 YR DATA BETWEEN LETS SAY ex. ENERGY AND SOFTWARE CORRELATION.... BTW: I HAVE EXCEL SHEET READY AND CAN'T UPLOAD IT.....THE FILE IS NOT OVER THE MAXIMUM SIZE AND IT SAYS E.T. DATA FILES ARE HAVING PROBLEMS....BLA..BLA..BLA......OR something LIKE THAT......ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN UPLOADING A BIG FILE? PS: Gas around me is 2.82.......I meant spot prices on NYMEX......You can always take spot prices and add .60c to .80c to estimate what you will see at the pump depending on where you live...If your lucky and don't live in Alaska or Hawaii or anywhere else you get GOUGED!!!! $COSTAverageMAN

I think your position sizing is good. Do you follow any methology to load up on longs, or do you just follow a simple rule such as DOW is above 200ma, everytime it comes and retraces and starts touching something, I start loading up on longs Because I noticed you load up on longs all the time And Its definately the right thing to do
