Right. As a constructive criticism, it's like the programmer is putting too much effort in details which actually turns out to be bothering to the user, while missing a substantial part. From a coding point of view it is actually strange, as they maintain a lot of stuff which could be greatly...

Sure. It's plain and simple GDI+ Here is a nice faq on the topic: http://www.bobpowell.net/faqmain.htm ____________________ Tom My <a href="http://www.datatime.eu/public/gbot/2009_11_16_Mon/default.htm" target="_blank">futures autotrading</a> journal

If your system can be shown to be systematically profitable in live trading and if you are able to explain (to investors) that it is indeed based on a reasonable logic, to show that it is well rooted and relatively safe, you would not take much time to find investors who are happy to invest...

Depending on the strategy employed, that is not necessarily an adverse circumstance. ____________________ Tom My <a href="http://www.datatime.eu/public/gbot/2009_11_03_Tue_Wed_Overnight/default.htm" target="_blank">futures autotrading</a> journal

The best way to improve "stops" is not using them, actually. But, instead, finding alternative ways to hedging. ____________________ Tom My <a href="http://www.datatime.eu/public/gbot/2009_11_03_Tue_Wed_Overnight/default.htm" target="_blank">futures autotrading</a> journal

Full flexibility is achieved by using languages such as vb.net or c#. Excel seems more immediate, but it's by far too limiting, and actually useless if we are talking about real automation. However, such greater flexibility comes at a very high price. In the sense that you will find...

You described well some aspects. Another possible one is the awareness that anyone need to mature his own awareness in this thing. If one showed the way (or "his" way) to people that are not "ready" to "see it", simply they wouldn't see it. Actually they would probably mock and...

I think that the you already know that the answer to you question, put in those general terms, cannot be different from "no". But, probably, what you are really asking is if strategy should be "robust" and reliable. After backtesting (which is relatively useful), I think that accurate...

And, apart the possibility to have impact on prices, it's quite clear that when trading backed with huge amount of money it's almost impossible to lose. Actually, you must really make an effort to devise unprofitable strategies! :-)) The more money you have, much more you make (it's not...

Why do you want to lose ? Drawdowns are natural, but playing an unprofitable strategy would not. Simply, do not invest real money until you have a robust strategy. Backtest/forward test for a long period until you are fully confident on your strategy and its behavior. The very moment...

>I take it from your last statement that a system that cuts out the 90% of the action to be in the market 10% of the time on 10 trades, is less likely to be curve fit then to one that has 10% of the trades but is in the market 100% of the time? i don't recognize exactly what I was saying...
