    Best Thread The 3 Duck's Trading System

    Hello Denman, yes, it is helpful, thank you much for your reply; though as for my question, all I wished to know - maybe I could have been more concise - was pertaining to the charts people have posted on here, i.e. whether their SMAs included all data or excluded some. Makes a difference when...

    Best Thread The 3 Duck's Trading System

    Denman, you misunderstood me - or I didn't explain myself well. My question is not directly pertaining to the system, but rather overall setup. I am asking what - if any - data times/periods people are excluding from their charts, e.g. weekends, evenings, nights. For example, a trader starting...

    Please remind me what's the recommendations for data periods. Exclude weekends (though weekend times are what in what time zone?); anything about excluding night times too? (Just so we are all looking at the same(ish) SMAs.) I seem to recall it was posted in this thread, but if someone would...

    Nigel, sorry for butting in, but as you seem to be in a sharing mood... :D In this context, could I possibly get your thoughts on your S/L strategy? If you do not wish to share this, I understand. Re. 5-mins previous low: As this seems to be very 'fluently' defined, I wonder if I could get...

    John Carter's Book

    Does anyone have any more feedback/opinions regarding this? I am just reading his book and so far, all seems good, though if the setups themselves are really not that good, why put them in the book at all? It is simply no good saying that they are a starting poing, in which case, all books are...

    Same goes if you are not in the UK, no matter what amount of money you put forward. :frown:

    Simon, you have previously said that you do not wish to add the ability of customers setting the S/L when placing a bet, as the initial ticket already contains much information and it would be too confusing for the punters. If this is still the reasoning, the real question becomes: does anyone -...

    No contract exists? Helpdesk: Hello, how may I help you? Customer: I made a trade at lost quite a bit of money, so I realize now that it was on a, for me, very wrong prize... you might say palpably wrong. I would like to have my money back, please. Helpdesk: Well, of course, kind Sir, right...

    journal of trader formally known as wasp

    Not too deep at all, but very down-to-earth reading. It is always good to get things in (a different) perspective. Maybe the Holy Grail does not exist (and with lags and misses, it cannot really be considered holy), but finding a, let's call it Slightly Sacred Grail should be good enough for...

    Makes a lot of sense (though whipsaws are clearly an anoying fact of trading). Thanks for your answers. Hope the good results continue!

    journal of trader formally known as wasp

    Haha, indeed it is! :) So if I understand you correct, in the unlikely occurance that you will have an opposing signal, you will simply stop and reverse trade? Or did I misunderstand and you are actually saying that the possibility simply does not occur in your strategy, i.e. being ex. long...

    journal of trader formally known as wasp

    Hi Wasp, thanks for sharing your thoughts and daily struggle to 'keep it clean', very inspirational. Since this is all about self disciplin, I have a question for you: How do you handle the situation where in a trade and an opposite signal occurs? Obviously you might have an exit precluding...

    Simon, I am actually one that DO believe you when you say that you do not biase your prices. Also, of course we are talking about futures when I say indices. I have myself made several posts, as has others (most recently DowJones on post 2477). I suggest you review when time allows...
