LMAO. You forgot to say "fractal" in there somewhere. You know nothing of any science. Please use some other angle to cover up that you are not actually saying anything at all. Fletch

Doesn't bother me. I'm used to folding 40 hands for $30 each to win a pot of $1500. Fletch

I'm not sure such a sweeping statement has any validity. You have to start from the hypothesis that there is recurrent market structure. If you don't believe this, you quit and go home because it's impossible, system or no. So given that you believe in recurrent market structure, how do...

There is a best language all things considered for library implementation of this kind. That language is C. Feel fine to disagree, and be wrong. As for my java experience, I have extensive experience in library development and exposing APIs to app developers (as well as app development) in...

My mind is closed to bad ideas. It's called experience. Simple question: if a library is written in C, how difficult/natural is it to provide Java bindings? If a library is written in Java, how difficult/natural is it to provide C bindings? Now ask the same question for C++, Python...

Nice try. There is one and only one language to write a library in if you want to provide choice to users: C. If you disagree, you're just wrong. I agree with everyone else that the API providers are failing badly in most cases by tying their offerings to MFC, .NET, and all that locked-in...

Your are running an information website about TA, and are asking on ET how to do basic backtesting? Does this not strike you as an absurdity? Hey, I'm running a how-to surgery information website. Do any of you guys know what a scalpel is?

Brandon, If you're planning on going professional with these videos at some point, here's a tip that you may want to consider: I think you'd sound a lot more polished without the smacking. I don't say this to be petty, I think you've got a nice delivery, but the mouth smacking habit...

Why?

Evidence please? And don't say "these simple strategies X,Y, and Z don't work."

Honestly, what is the alternative? Looking at future data and coming up with something that works based on that?

Such histrionics. Are you female? I've never lost a dime investing, but I've really lost energy for responding to childish garbage like this. Over and out.

You almost had me going there, until you went into how to beat the"johnny come lately type home investors."
