No worries, who am I to judge anyone? It's only a thread in a forum, you only know me by my avatar and frankly, you should not give a monkey's toss about what people say in here on a personal level. Take with you what you find of value and enjoy a ...

Forex Mentors - The Best Investment You Can Make?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......another one - where do they all come from?? There must be a nest somewhere - this one has only 2 posts under the belt and deems it necessary to pump it up by locating one of the most meaningless threads on the factory, leaving ...

Forex Mentors - The Best Investment You Can Make?

Hahaha, yes - very true. Now, since I had a little time, I read the thread again from the beginning and what had slipped my attention the first time makes this whole thread quite amusing. The amount of what I can only guess to be fake members of FF ...

Forex Mentors - The Best Investment You Can Make?

By the looks of it, you should rather be fast-tracking your ability to construct sentences as well as your grammar. Btw, if the original period stated (from Oct.07 until today) was profitable, doesn't that include all the other time periods ...

Forex Mentors - The Best Investment You Can Make?

Thank you. I am familiar with Saxo's FX platform. How do you pick you trades? Do you have a way of tracking what type of ITM OTM ATM options are the best value at a particular time? regards daytrading

Forex Options Strangle System

Hi there, This sounds rather interesting. I only have a limited amount of experience with options - I used to price swaptions (options based on interest rate swaps). Mainly plain vanilla, so straddles and strangles are somewhat familiar. Can I ask ...

Forex Options Strangle System

Leon, The past has shown that 'extreme money generating models' like the one based on the Black & Scholes option formula used by Long Term Capital Management and the more recent CDO based models also rely on extreme leverage and market exposure. ...

Are the best systems also the systems that fail most spectacularly?

Well, I am pleased for you - really. One could always argue for the point of rather being positively surprised from what doesn't look 'pristine' in a business sense, than getting ripped off completely by a shiny and polished scam. Good luck in your ...

Forex Mentors - The Best Investment You Can Make?

Ok, I took the time to take a look at the Blog-site. If that is the 'entance door' of his so called 'business', I would consider it unprofessional at best. Firstly, using slang like '...pain in the ass...' is a total disregard for proper language in ...

Forex Mentors - The Best Investment You Can Make?

The title of the thread is very revealing. Whether 'mentor', 'trading course' or 'winning system for sale' - they all work on a very ingenious business premise: In this business you can sell the unsuspicious buyer anything you like - because the ...

hahahaha....maybe we're in the wrong thread.

Forex Factory Hall Of Fame

No. 2 has turned out to be a scam - just to update this 'useful' list. regards daytrading

Forex Factory Hall Of Fame

I would not dismiss this as 'b.s.'. I know a fund in the Cayman Islands who exclusively trades black box algorithmic programs. We all know that nothing has an unlimited life span - let alone profitability span, but fully computerized trading models ...

Are the best systems also the systems that fail most spectacularly?

This thread has no value whatsoever and is characterized by the attributes of a bad soap opera. Can the factory implement something that keeps the overall quality levels based on usefulness rather than on entertainment? regards daytrading

Forex Mentors - The Best Investment You Can Make?

To the moderators: Can you please delete the thread since I have found what I am looking for in a technical forum. Thank you very much. regards daytrading

Hi Petra, I have gathered that much. Just so you have a little insight how I collect the data, I have attached the worst and the best month data for the year 2007 (percentages relative to equity on daily basis in the left pane, cumulative ...

Long term Profits within Negative Expectancy

Hi Petra, The entire construction is based on maximum %-loss per currency pair (5 pairs traded daily) and maximum %-loss per day. The indiv. positions have the same size across the board and use the same entry and exit criteria day in, day out. I am ...

Long term Profits within Negative Expectancy

Hi GM, Thanks for the compliments. I can only comment from personal experience which might well differ from that of other proprietary traders. The founders of the firm I work with have floor trader roots (LIFFE) and taking position overnight was ...

Long term Profits within Negative Expectancy

Petra, Since this is not a coin flip or a roulette wheel, winning X does not have to equate to losing X on a 50/50 basis. I give you an example: One of my models has a pretty balanced win/loss ratio - i.e. over the course of a month, quarter and ...
