So would I, but that is not his game.

I know of more than one 1% per day method, but of course it will
not work to compound. That is not the way a true trader does it.
I know a trader who averages 2.5% per day on about 5 trades per day
on one ETF, and holds no position overnight. He pulls his profits
out and lives on them or puts them to work in longer term
investments. High rates of return only work for small
investments and usually require a lot of personal attention and
pattern recognition during the day. If it worked for large sums,
or easy computer algorithms, the big boys (or hoards) would work
that angle to death and the edge would get neutralized. Once you
try to increase position sizes above a certain amount, you start to
influence the market and you have no one to play against --it takes
two to have a market. That is why large mutual funds must look to
a fundamental value model. They can not trade the technicals quick
enough without kill

One percent a day. Yeah, right.
Compound one percent a day for five years and a $1,000 trading
account becomes $278,000,000. Start with real money and ownManhattan.
(1.01) ^ 1260 = 278,567

T-ohrt - the thing you are missing is not your technical ability, but
your BELIEF and your ATTITUDE to new things.
You seem to mistrust my recommendation when in fact you nothing of
me, my level of trading knowledge, this system or my involvement with
it (my involvement is none other than my affiliate link - just to
make that entirely clear).
If you believe that 1% a month is all that is possible, that will be
your reality, and you will discount ideas that make more as trickery.
If you want trade lists, further explanations on the system I
recommended - discuss it with David, the author. It is not my job to
divulge a system that someone else owns.
However, I will say that David's system is very credible and also
very simple. I have recieved a lot of support from David and his
system opened my eyes to swing trading.
I also know of an individual who makes 1% A DAY - and publishes all
his methods and indicators for free, online.
Look for The Rumpled One at:
www.kreslik.com.
I am currently porting his work over to Amibroker on that site.
And yes, once again - it is all FREE, and you definately won't find
it in your "Beyond Technical Analysis" book.
