The series 3 is really not too bad at all - by far the easiest of any of the series tests that I have taken. If I remember, much of it concerns applications for hedging, and is pretty much formulaic math that you can learn without too much prep ...

Haha - very well said, and very true.

Thank you everyone for your comments! I wrote this some time ago in an attempt to condense the mentality of a successful trader, so I am certainly glad that it is resonating with some of you. As mtcdavs mentioned, trading forums can be a mixed ...

From your original post, it seems that you have the right constitution for trading, if indeed you are prepared to do all that you say. I agree completely with Craig's post. The most important thing is to think critically for yourself, and to have a ...

Haha - I certainly could be wrong. As I have said in other posts, it is important to understand your edge before designing a system to exploit it. But lets say there is no edge, or that my system fails to exploit it with statistical reliability. ...

That is certainly a fair point. Obviously the question of what even constitutes a recovery sequence (or necessary percentage return) where you would resume live/full risk trading is debatable. Again, this will largely be an issue of risk tolerance, ...

Great post Hanover, as always. Every trading methodology has a point where if there are x consecutive loses, the account will either be wiped out or the drawdown will be so large that the return required to recover would be unpalatable (50% drawdown ...

No problem, Leon. Glad to know that I have helped at least give you some ideas. As for your question, you are asking if you sat me down in front of some naked charts and said "trade away Chris" if I would be able to be consistently profitable. Haha ...

Great post Gaston! I think that pretty much sums it up, and nicely fills in the blanks in my late night post-thanksgiving verbal burp. Best, Chris

Leon, As you can probably see from my post count, I very rarely post to the forum. I have been trading for long enough now that, like many in the same position, I limit my posting to the few occasions where I can potentially add some value. For some ...

There is a very simple way to settle this, instead of pointless speculation of broker manipulation. Believe me, no one is singling out your orders and trading against you. I only ever see newbies make such claims, which should probably tell you ...

Sorry - first part for David, second for Tdion. Should have been more clear
- topherhk88 replied Sep 21, 2008
Excellent posts David! I couldn't agree more. I would say that conceptually most successful trading systems capitalize on capturing herd behavior; the edge is simply derived from quantifying and mechanizing this behavior. If the herd change how they ...

Lucky...That would be far more exciting. — I rarely post on the FF, but I have seen a lot of these posts recently - questioning (or, in some cases, audaciously claiming) that it is impossible to trade successfully in the long term, or that any ...

There are several ways — There are obviously many different ways to get involved in fund management, but if you are going wish to become a money manager, the easiest path is probably becoming a (CTA - commodity trading advisor) and managing ...
