Hello! I am testing trading strategies and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is pretty much the minimum workable expectancy? I imagine even if it's positive, if it's too small it's kind of waste to trade it in light of commissions etc. So anyone else that does testing, what is the...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get ninjatrader market replay data for the NQ? As much as possible. Or if someone would be kind enough to share it with me? I would like to do some manual backtesting and I've been trying to gather my own but my internet connection is always...

Have you analyzed the Austrian School? What are your problems with it?

I played around with her setups for a long time and never found that any of them worked. Also, I kind of knew one of her "top traders" who is closely associated with her who was trying to get me into some kind of network marketing thing. Big red flag and I was immediately turned off to her group.

Alright If someone could help me I would appreciate it. I have been trying for awhile to do something that seems very simple but I can't seem to figure out how to set it up. I am using Metastock and MLDownloader. What I am trying to do is create a folder with the top 3 high-volume stocks of...

I understand that. I guess the problem I have is that it's hard for me to have a plan for my exit, because I'm not sure which exit style is better. When I am in a trade I find myself asking, should I get out if price goes below the low of the last two bars, or should I switch over to HA bars and...

Hi anek! Welcome back, love the thread. I really feel like I have learned a lot from reading it. My question: is it possible to test your strategy at all? I find myself still not having the confidence MYSELF to believe in the system when I am executing it real time (even on the sim. I take...
