    Insight / Whisper

    Insight has been around since the late 90's. It was acquired over a year ago by Kershner Group in Austin TX. They plan on keeping it proprietary, assuming they're still around in another year. Madscan - Been Around for a couple of years maybe? The founder of Madscan was a former Trade-Ideas...

    Trade Ideas Automated System/Odds Maker

    Take a look at the attached screen shot. I've been using this as one of my opening strategies for bout 1.5 years now. Can I look at the back test and rationally expect to capture atleast 50% of projected profits? How about 25%, hell, even 10%? Gimme 5, I'll take 5%, sure, we all would, if it...

    Free Market - Not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes, it is completely rigged. I guess its time to modify my code so that that threshold prices are barely undercut.....then they can lump it.... ;>

    Free Market - Not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Appreciate your advice.....but that's a work around to the inherent, persistent problem. They can bust a $50 or $60 stock just as easy.....................

    Free Market - Not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    For those of you still living your lives under the ruse that we exist in a free market. When small guys (or big ones) step in and provide liquidity when stocks get beat down or over bought, and then are penalized for it.....something is very, very wrong. Just take a look at the screen shots...

    can't locate SPY

    Ummmmm.... I wasn't aware that sharing my thoughts with the community was supporting terrorism. Do you think that people that have done well short selling, before the draconian ss ban was put in place are supporting terrorism? This country hasn't been America for quite sometime in case...

    can't locate SPY

    Yes, single stock futures sound good in theory. So does selling the call or buying the put in deep in the money contracts to get short the financials. Try doing it efficiently, they always front run and unless you are in a 0 latency environment, it's simply not feasible. The SRO's that...

    Do people get same results with real trading as backtesting?

    Yes, from the outside it looks easy; But it's not. Even if the backtest looks pretty you still have to test the strategy with live shares and then make adjustments. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. When you find something that works well for a period you ramp the size and hope your...

    Do people get same results with real trading as backtesting?

    Seems a bit arbitrary and random.
  12. Q

    Do people get same results with real trading as backtesting?

    I hate to shatter the veil good feelings here, but most of the market isn't on display, try 85% of it. It doesn't matter if you're visible or not. If you're long at $20 with a mkt sell stop in at 19.49; the stock proceeds to trade through 19.49, you've just been "invisibly" stopped out. The...

    Do people get same results with real trading as backtesting?

    Greetings: I ‘m guessing those who are keeping up with this thread may want to hear from someone who’s actually executing a fair number of trades daily using the Assent Robot which is powered by the TI engine. The Odds Maker is simply telling you what has happened when a certain event...

    Cramer on downtick rule

    I like your Horse Shit as well..... I also like the term "Bucket of Mule Dung" It's all broken. Hoping to see some people swing from the gallows is probably a bit naive though ;> Time will tell.
