tech/a said:Hmm I'm interested in your explaination of "markedly different"
The only things I find different are
(1) length of trade governed by tightness of exit.
(2) Generally more trades---cause your in a trade less time.
(3) With winning systems (I've only seen winning futures short term methods) More winners.
(4) Less Reward to Risk.
(5) Less runs of consecutive losers.

ON SHORT TERM SYSTEMS
I've thought for many years that the reason short term methods in stocks particularly portfolios tend to fail(I havent found one that retuns good profit in 12 yrs) is that unlike Futures which have many short term very profitable methods---we are trying to apply short term trading startagies over a GROUP of candidates---with Futures its ONE.
My theory is that if you have as little as 3-5 stocks and design the best "System" INDIVIDUALLY FOR THAT STOCK rather than a blanket universe---youll find a great way to trade.This would be pretty simple and you could optimise your brains out on each individual candidate.

What do you think of this idea??
tech/a said:Rich.
There is merit in what you say re indexes---Why dont you persue compilation of a universe based around that.(Or anyone else for that matter).

loakglen said:$10000 unleveraged may leave it a bit thin short-term given all the brokerage. It does help out those low on capital though. It would be interesting to see if we could make it work. Maybe $10000 geared up to $20000 or even $20000 cash would be better- that way positions can be 4 X $5000.
I like the optimisation idea. I'd like to see what everyone comes up with to pick the best potential movers.
