i Im looking for historical dax data. But any data i see seems to end at 4.30 p.m. and begins at 8.00 a.m. But on IG Index the DAX is trade able 24 hours a day. So obviously they are getting their data feed from someplace. Does anyone know where I can get 24 hour DAX data? I don't mind...

Presumably the whole point of the calmar ratio is to normalise the performance of systems to be able to compare them easily. As in - if you read that a system produced a 50% gain last year, that really gives you little information on the system other than the fact that it has a positive...

Hi I want to backtest a system more than one year - but my broker only supplies daily charts for anything older than 1 year. (I need hourly charts for my backtest) Does anyone know of any charting software that provides hourly charts for the last few years? Preferably free - but paid is fine...

I have started day trading. Basically in one basket I tradeceithervtge dow/dax (never atvtgecsanevtine as they seem very correlated) In another basket I have a few major currency pairs (again I have a rule to only trade one if those at any one time) So the most number if positions I coukd...

Thats a great post WklyOptions. Always interesting to see how another man trades. So out of curiosity - (and you may now want to reveal this here) - but what kind of ballpark % monthly returns does your system return?

SO you are saying if i choose a breakout as an entry, then if it doesnt poush past teh breakthorugh after a coupel of days or something like that, then i coudl exit if it comes back to area below breakout? And if it does poush past then raise to breakeven? Thats a good idea. Althoug i dont...

Correct. If i want to maintain a maximum level of heat thnen i am limited to selecting only select some entries. So my query is I'm trying go see if anyone sees anything wrong with trying to keep it at 10%.

Sorry - to clarify. WOIth my systme ther eare always trades that fulfill my entry criteria. So that was teh contect of my original post.

I started a coupel of other hreads in thsi section in trying to come up with my system. My next question is - how much total risk do people have open at amny one time? My own rule i think is to have a 10% total risk open at anyone time. (with 2% per position) That means - if i close a...

well thats it....im not sur ehopw comfoirtable i am waiting 2-3 weeks before breakeven either. But i find if im looking for a new higher lolw (in an uptrend) - or trailing a MA of some sort...it seems to take that long. SO what do you use out of curiosity to trail the price to get you to...

Thats very interesting. Its an approach i never thought of before.

I basically enter if i see an obvious trend. Nothing too fancy - just a basic cursaory look at a chart and if it has been on an obvious trend for teh last num ber of weeks/months then i get in. I normally use a nearby S/R point - or a MA of some dexscription as a Stop loss. Its subjective really...

I use daily cahrts - and i normally try to jump on an obvious existing trend. Basically if there is any trechnical reason at all for me rasing my SL nearer to breakeven then i take it. (be it a S&R point, a trend line, MA etc) Im only starting out - so im just wondering what do other people do...

Just enquiring what kind of exit indicators do people use when letting proifits run until a breakdiown of a trend? I've just started using the 50 ema. I trade daily charts and like to get to breakeven using various S&R points....and then let teh 50 ema catch up to breakeven and i then trail...
