Barclays Share Discussion Threads

TheTa, does this effect British banks that much, seems to be Spain's Gov causing Santander's problems.

Market seems to look for anything to kick UK banks at present, so I expect another down day again for Barc.

Anyone with positve thoughts for Barc?

I think we are limited to what the SB provides - I know other apps use trailing stops that are only triggered when you reach target X. This would be great but is not provided by IG as far as I can see.

Will be interesting to see if there is a change in performance are using the different HLC data.

===============================================

In all honesty I think Somnus is just fine the way Ken had it.
The back tests just gave me some confidence in using the FTSE100, as it shows consistency.

I agree it would be nice to cut the losses, and think about it a lot, so far with little improvement on what Ken has already got!!!

Play about with it too much and then it's not a Mechanical system at all!

(but I will still play about with it!)

Ken, Theta,

I see all the discussions about getting the most accurate EOD figures, but isn't it better to stick with the figures that the majority use? Pivot Points aren't a universal constant that if you put in ever more accurate data, its performance is correspondingly enhanced. PP performs (sometimes) because many follow it in its various forms. I thought the key is in deciding how to use those levels, i.e your entry/exit/staking/limit etc. The way you've traded so far outperforms most of the backtests.

I think better efforts would be spent somehow cutting the loses, whilst maximising the wins. Although this isn't probably compatible with a setup and 'leave it' system

Your thoughts?

You having a bad day? Don't let the nutters get you down, as there are plenty of us who appreciate all your hard work

[kenbachelor] 28/10/2010 19:45

On second thoughts, I'm begining to think this thread is a waste of my time so I'll clear the header at the weekend.

[kenbachelor] 28/10/2010 19:42

Ludlowe - If you start your own thread you put what you want into the header and you won't be distracted.

The charts are all in a window and there is a link to skip past them. Or alternatively you can filter my name and you will never be distracted again.

[ludlowe] 28/10/2010 16:57
