I suggest that some reading might give you more education than repeated question and answers on this forum. Trading Risk by Kenneth Grant is...
Thanks, but this is just another article repeating the same opinion with no supporting evidence. My trading is based on testing and data, and in...
Can you provide a link to anything supporting these statistics? I've heard this quote countless times and frankly I don't believe it based on the...
I don't think it is always this simple. Some of the strategies that I was monitoring (not trading) during 2008 set record drawdowns, well beyond...

+1350/+1.4% Finally found a couple short trades, but now having trouble finding trades on the long side. Still very under invested so am very...
Well you are trading counter to the trend so the obvious answer is to use a trend filter. You mentioned looking at linear regression slope so I...
+495/+.52%. Very happy with this considering I started the day 15% invested and ended only 20%. Still haven't found any shorts meeting my criteria.
+3674/+3.98%. A disadvantage of longer term holding periods (days to weeks) was clearly demonstrated in my dismal results last week, and a clear...
