Re: MPL - Medibank Private IPO I guess there is no-one to go with a broker firm any more? Do you think you would get more with broker firm or public pool?

I am not sure if Propex pays a regular salary. Does anyone know of a friend or recruiter in the finance/property sector I can have a chat with?

I am in my late 20s from Melbourne and I am stuck in a job I don't like. I have worked in jobs in economics and finance and tried my own start up. I also traded CFDs in the last four years and made over 20% return each year. I have been in my current workplace for a few years but the culture...

I have an e-commerce site too http://www.hipindustries.com selling men's bags and laptop bags. Since setting up the store earlier this year, the bags have not moved as quickly as I originally hoped for and I am currently selling a couple a week. I have about 200 odd bags that I want to move...

Exited IRE/CPU for another win. 3/3. Entered WDC/SGP I was absolutely hammered for my long CFD positions in the ASX. Didn't anticipate the drop last night in the US and now I have got out but the damage has been done.

Closed MND/UGL for a small profit for 2/2. Entered CPU/IRE. Magin, the results so far look ok. In pairs trading, it can be difficult to consistently replicate good results.

Magin, yes, I have found the best trades usually last a few days. Although, with those settings you have, some pairs may take longer to breach exit. Entered a position in MND/UGL By the way, do any of you trade FX? I know Jared does, but I am not fully sold on those trading robots.

We use PTF software combined with other modelling methods. We enter a pair when one of us identify that a pair is on and we both agree to entering the trade. As for exiting, we exit when it breaches a criteria, however, both of us have the ability to exit any trade at any time. Exited...

Hi guys, I have been trading pairs for a long time with a friend. We started pairs trading before this thread was created. I have been a longtime lurker on this thread, but thought I'd start to get involved with questions, comments, and trades. Couple of questions to start off with...

skc, you wrote in February 2010 that you analysed your actual exits compared to exiting the folowing day. You also mentioned that you were looking to improve your exits. Have you done any further analysis on exiting? What is your prefered exit strategy now?

Can anyone help me with my question? skc, just pm'ed you.

Guys, I can't get email alerts working at all. I can get a test email sent to me, but when no alerts ever arrive in my inbox. Can anyone help?

I have been having a lot of problems with the pair trade finder software. (just sent you a message tigger36) I find it extremely buggy and slow. The list of pairs does not even load up for me anymore. I tried developing something basic on Excel but it takes too long to retrieve the data...

Have you ever done tests on stop losses? It seems that some trades end up with big losses so having a stop loss in place would limit that. Also, when will PTF v3 be released? I am looking forward to doing some backtests on the exit criteria.

You say you have gained 28%. However, have you accounted for brokerage and slippage because these are major factors when you are playing with the large number of trades you are entering and exiting? The other thing is with FX, you can buy usd/jpy instead of long usd/eur and short jpy/eur, so...
