You had to be lucky enough to log into the app. They sent an internal message.....not thought out well, how can you change an IP, if you cant get the message. I did get a reply to my email sent to support@suretrader.com @ 10:30: Please be advised that our server is currently down. Our...

Just to follow up. Verizon support also cant get to web site, they suspect its more with the source. Suretrader did issue a message on how to connect the app to the backup servers around 10:10 or so

Good idea. Thanks for checking Verizon and Day jobs network cant resolve the name. An Att smartphone can get to the website. Whew.

Cant connect to the price servers, web site wont respond, phone isn't answered. Sure hope its only a tech issue. Anyone else can confirm?

I don't think anyone is rooting against Surf or the PDs....but he did give this post such conviction. It caused me to give up some sleep Sunday night to sanity check my stuff as to why I wasn't feeling the same bad vibes. I must be honest, I am glad the PDs were a little early this time.

Surf, Curios how the PDs handle the Bernanke bump contrasted with the pending sequester. Is it a short term bump with a following decline? Any thoughts?

Cool . Don't have 100K but will do best I can. Skiing w Fam till 2nd week Jan. Merry Christmas.

OK exactly what page of this thread shows the details of what happened to the JCP story? Too many pages. I assumed you followed through with your plan of 11/1......what happened then?

Dude what an epic read. Just found this thread, and was mesmerized by the JCP short. I had the 6 month chart while reading it. You gave a date of 11/1 back in Sep. Looking at the chart, the bottom was like 11/10 or so. Excellent call in the face of mounting attacks. There was a pack of...

Very odd. Polarbear in the journal forum, trader p/l ,is getting 850% pct return, 3.5 Sharpe, max DD of 60%. And I get crap for saying 30-40%? Yikes.

OK found a report on Scottrade that shows the first test. Started Feb 2010 with 5K cash account. No losses. return calc=(Value of investment at the end-Value of investment at beginning) + Dividends / Value of investment at beginning (6904 - 5000)/5000 = 38% in 15 months. I did lie I...

Hold on. Never claimed to have any trading talent and wouldn't even try to attempt the things done in some of these forums. IT pays good, family is well fed. No complaints here. I simply got excited by the model results and wanted to chat about it like the dumb a** I am apparently...

OK, Humbled. One last try. From your past posts looks like ur sh*ts together. Could I ask how long it took to hit big numbers? I only ask as I look at my own forecasts. I am working in a vacuum here.

Need to ask, what is meant by forward testing? Do you mean applying to live data? Exchange activity for each stock as recorded by my feed is processed "live". I post my buy minutes, hours, or days before the sell. As for the claim, I get it. Put up or shut-up. I will start a journal...

I would assume some trading systems can get a bit more complex. Then other factors than disk access speed are important. I use Oracle for several reasons. Data Cache: Once data is in memory, a database can be tuned to keep needed data in memory with out having to build custom binaries...

Ya I guess I am a non trader person. Your right, I wouldn’t trust me either. OK. Taking the advice I ve seen in so many threads and PMs. Creating my own account w 10K. Will start trading after the fiscal cliff and the Mayn calendar thing is settled. I like the Journals forum so once...

Yes as far as prop firms. I did try it for like 6 months. The issue there was making my models fit the same day buy sell. I tried but could not rope my models to same day buy sells. Overnight @ 4 to 1 wasn’t helping much. Then came the series 56 test. As for servers in the...

For my purpose, its just a recommendation. I don’t worry if there is slippage. What I find however is the price typically goes lower than the models recommended buy price. I attempt to cover that with stats on time to reach the min price after the buy rec and before the sell rec. The...

Cool. I had hoped others were working on similar projects. I hate to ask cause its a tough audience, but can you define slippage? Also curious what others are using for a data feeds. Are you storing intra-day price & volume data? I'm sniffing packets of a data stream and then inserting...

Isn't that what a recommendation should be, simple buy here sell there? I don't want to get in to #s of shares. The %return is a reflection on profit / share on the sell. Your right, I should do a better job at representing that. Comes from being a developer and not a trader.
