Hello Philip & All,
<br>>I'm not trying to steal the bread off your table, Jan.
<br>Hah, you couldn't anyway because ever since I bought a couple of warrants
(calls) on the Nasdaq & the Neue Markt I never eat bread anymore, just
souffle <font size=-2>(which as every cook will tell you has a nasty habit
of suddenly collapsing when taken out of the oven & put in the cold
;-)</font>
<p>> None of this stuff is the Holy Grail. Virtually all of it's
available right here on the web. I just thought it would be fun to
chat >about it. That goes for <i>anybody</i> with a relevant observation,
of course.
<br>Right you are. One of the things I like most about this group is that
there are a couple of guys (sorry, no gals) here that have the guts to
put their cards on the table & tell evbody about their actual trades
- the good the bad & the ugly. I think they deserve a big raspberry
for that instead of a the "Family Rubbish" reactions they got from some
lurkers!!! Btw. one of the people I learned very much from (excuse my English
(dangling prepositions & the like)) is, although he doesn't know, Jim
Greening.
<p>>So short term trends are your cup of tea.
<br>Not quite. I guess I've really two strategies (a souffle-kind of word):
<br>1. I follow the mid term trend by counter trading the short term trend.
<br>2. I try to profit by bull/bear traps whenever I can.
<br>I do this by following/scrutinying just a few issues I (think to) know
well & feel comfortable with.
<p>Tactics? I'm a linear regression fan (the line study in MS); I use the
open of today vs. the yesterday's open as the trigger; I start out with
a very, very narrow stop (if the trade doesn't immediately show a profit
I've made a mistake in my market evaluation & I'm out like a scalded
(hopefully only by my whiskers) cat) which I gradually widen to something
like two to three ATRs from the lates peak/trough (<b>never ever</b> lowering/raising
it).
<p>If you are or anyone else is interested in a description (aka narrative)
of my trading style I'd be happy to write a few words about it - as long
as I don't get too much flak about being a long winded old fart ... sorry,
I meant chart<font size=-2>ist</font>.
<p>Finally here's a - at least in this group I think - heretic statement:
<br><b><font color="#FF0000"><font size=+1>I've never seen </font><font size=-1>or
been able myself to design</font><font size=+1> a purely mechanical system
that</font></font></b>
<br><b><font color="#FF0000"><font size=+1>earns real money under real
world conditions.</font></font></b>
<br>Reactions anyone?
<p>Happy Trading,
<br>Jan Willem Roberts</html>
