The Reason For My Drawdown
I figured out the reason for my latest drawdown. This is a surveillance photo of my trading crew, taken during market hours, when Tradestation and E-Signal should be running. No wonder!!!!
Seriously though, a few years ago, my oldest - then 3 years old - just started clicking away on my PC. He opened a new ES trade, and I actually made money off it!
I've always thought it would be neat to make trading a video game, and let kids play it. I bet they could do well, since all the emotions of money were taken away. Maybe one day I'll actually try to create one...
Regarding your SFE system available on your website, is it possible to trade this system with an equities only account using ETF's or some other product? Thanks
Great question. I suppose you could trade an ETF version of Gold futures, Oil, Euro, 10 yr Notes and S&P, but I've never tried. What many people do is take the fully disclosed code I supply, and then either modify it to suit their needs, or apply it to different markets.
Looks like your hedge fund team was taking a break? : )
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, they will say they were working!
