Hi Hul, I appreciate your very interesting info. I wonder if you still look at QQQ historical intraday patterns to make your trading decisions. Also, what does your position size depend on?
I haven't recently found too many traders on the threads who can consistently gain even 6% a month (100% a year) for more than a year (of course many did it easily during the 10/1998-3/2000 period). The best traders with at least a partially verified record that I encountered recently are:
(1) NDX funds/QQQ: ajtj (Profunds), Huluriasquias (Rydex), positiontrader (Profunds), wahz (QQQ)
(2) Options/futures: ajtj (options), TradeHard (futures), WinLoseOrDraw (options, futures)
But even among those traders above, very few if any have a record of average compounded 10%+ returns for the past 12 months (even though they may have achieved it for shorter periods of time). I also saw a few other traders on SI claiming 10%+ a month returns in the past and the actual record in one instance verifying the claim.
