Take off for a bit and find leventhousand posts to catch up on .....

Among other things, I have been burning some midnight oil trying to make some sense of this spooz trade dealie to which one of my trader buds has subscribed .....

it is a strange proposition .... he isn't to even tell me who sponsored him ..... hmmmmmm....

the "prospective client" must fill out an application about three pages long ... sign a whole bunch of holdharmless stuff .... looks loaded on the company side for fairness (how bout that for unusual) ... membership must be sponsored into the group by a current member .... newbies can't submit "prospective clients" for three to six months (depends on something or other, can't recall what).... NO sharing in realtime .....
and a whole lot more .....

I laughed when he told me about it .....
especially
when
he revealed the membership fee is $5k per month ......

BUT

I've examined the results ....

AND

it could be worth it ..... hahahaha

>>>>>>>
mech system handled by the "company" who emails/phones/faxes the buy or sell to the client ....
he says that there is some thought being given to having a broker with discretionary powers to make the mech trades ....

strange and scary yet weirdly appealing when results are taken into consideration ......

anyway ...
it is Globex/reg mkt trading with full point only (no fractions) 24hr per day mech dealie ....

here are Sept til current trades ....

short 1342
flat 1337
long 1349
flat 1364
short 1355
flat 1363
short 1357
flat 1358
long 1366
flat 1366
short 1363
flat 1340
long 1350
flat 1344
short 1341
flat 1304
short 1296
flat 1292
short 1291
flat 1289
short 1290
flat 1290
long 1292
flat 1306
long 1319
flat 1328
long 1332
flat 1340
short 1334
flat 1267
long 1280

This has resulted in
3 losing trades (from 1 to 8 points)
2 flat trades
10 winning trades (from 2 to 67 points)

One thing that my bud was told that it normally takes about a 2-3 point move to cover the vig as the normal month generates 5-15 trades ....

has me talking to myself ....... LOL

I did call this morning and found that he was still long from 1280 ....
