it is a great book on curvefitting...
he comes up with strats based on trade size samples of 30 trades over 20 years..
ie, some of it is bowlarks..
however, he does have some interesting theories, based on fundamentals.. ie trading equities based on the activities of bonds and gold...this is the interesting side of things, in addition to his seasonal aspects,
but please keep clear of his "trading day of week" filter.... ie only taking longs on monday, or shorts or wednesday...
if you read the stock market almanac, you will see that fridays used to be the most bullish day for 50+ years or so, and then only recently have mondays been the best day to be long etc..
LW only uses data since monday's became the best day etc..
in other words, treat his tradestation reports with extreme caution..
there are a lot of gems in there..
plus, you can also find a free copy online.. the is one on the rapidshare.de site somewhere, but i cant remember the link.
strategybuilderfx.com might have the link somewhere.. look for "volatility breakout" to find the link.

No I was some way off.
"Curbs in" on programme trading, instituted by NYSE occurs whenever the NYSE Composite Index moves 150 points higher or lower.
If the DJIA falls 10% trading is halted for 60 minutes.
We'll need more than duff results from C, MOT and GE for that.

Me too, c'est la vie. Try to asses whether it will bounce this evening or just keep going.

Didn't know if any of them did, IG don't (I don't think anyway) Just have to move it yourself.

(at Rudeboy).
I use 4-10 point stops during the day, but sometimes allow larger ones with fewer lots for overnights with bigger targets.
Which part of my being stopped out at 693 do you find unlikely?
Bez,
Egg of columbus tongue? Are my eyes deceiving me? That't the best name for a pattern I've heard yet. Excellent. :cheesy:
