Lets say you have a $300,000 IB master account with family and friend sub-accounts. You charge a 10% performance fee & your strategy kicks but and...
Thanks - actually - someone was able to point me to it on OptionsXpress, and also finally found it on bloomberg.
Just wondering if anyone knew where to get minute by minute volume in futures contracts. Specifically VIX futures, which are thinly traded....
BINGO. Thanks for playing. If you: -are truly driven -get good grades in high school to get into a good college -get good grades at a good...
I find it amazing that this kid had to lose 14k before trying a Sim account. Must come from money to piss it away like that. 14k is a lot of dough.
that's because they don't want to take jobs where they aren't making a crap ton of money for working 6 hours a day. Previous generations would...
Weak dude. Don't include me in that. Take out 1979. I don't expect anything given to me. Went into the military to earn my degree. After I got I...
Yes. Gambling. No doubt about it. Analysts can cry and whine, but you are really just making educated GUESSes. Call it gambling but your odds...

I am a noob in the sense that I have not traded futures daily for 10 years. I have been backtesting strategies and trading for a while. The...
Some of my friends and family have seen the results of my strategy and want in. My uncle was so excited he just up and sent me a check for 10k to...
-Not sure what you mean about the first question. The system directs me to trade a couple futures contracts every day at the close. -Yes it...
Good point - I see what you mean. Lower Vol and Higher Returns are the key. I'll check it out and get back to you guys.
fhg386, I am in the same boat. I made an algorithmic strategy last year. Been trading it since November with outstanding results and was...
Yeah that wouldn't work - Futures expire. Comparing it to those VIX ETNs would be the best bet - and I know those always lose out in the long run.
-Automated Backtest - that is, I made the signals and then threw in past data to see how it would perform. (what is a manual backtest?) -Trades...
Ya, it's the VIX - VIX Futures to be exact. What do you mean buy/hold over the same period? Yeah I was trying to find ways to reduce that vol....
