Ken,
The Tradestation Bundle 1 contents and demo videos starts with Part2; Should there be a Part 1?
I like your training videos with charts. They are interesting and logical and I believe I can learn them. The trade station bundle did confuse me. Seems like you need a programmer to use that software. Is it necessary to use trade station? I am using Think or Swim by TD Ameritrade, and Ninja Trader. At this point the simpler the better for my aptitude on the computer. I am reading “Ready,Fire,Aim”. I will be reading “100 Essays on Trading” next.
Look forward to learning ideas and systems to trade. Thank you, patrick m
Ken–I’m considering implementing a 300$K etf portfolio when conditions warrant. I plan to use your portfolio but volatility weighting to estabish position size. Any input you may have on this technique would be appreciated.
i have seen some research that finds a lot of goodness in the BMR approach, but then adding in volatility-adjusted position sizing among the top 3 candidates, for example; gives up some of the gains but certianly smoothes out the equity curve
