Dimitris, I hadn't seen this concept before, but I see its strength. The A/D basically is a 'low res' feel for the market, but it can't tell if 1000 shares advanced by one dollar or one penny...whereas the population of stocks with RSI>65 communicates a much higher level of information. I...

MAN, I love the multivariate world as well. I want to hook up with like-thinkers. There are not many neighborhood folks into trading...let alone automation of the cash generation process. I am looking to speed up my trading and miss a whole lot fewer trading ops by automating my prospecting...

TSOKAKIS.... Thanks for the references...I appreciate that. I just used the market stats for advancers/decliners from my data service (Quote.com - ADVN.NY and DECL.NY) to save the compute overhead. My first attempt used the rate of change command like the example, but the resulting...

I have been trading REITs in a swing trade mode for the last three years. I use AMIbroker to alert for weakness below the NAV line I draw on the chart. It doesn't take much daily time (after getting setup) and the return has been good. I use NAVs from Barry Vinocur's Realty Stock Review...

FRuiTY, I see you are unfamiliar with the nuances of Xurban humor...and certainly the interpersonal advantages of self deprecating positioning...but anyway.... My personal preference is to offer encouragement and assist those that want help up the ladder....as opposed to pulling the ladder up...

Quite true....though sometimes a sniff can be an irresistable clue to what lies beneath the covers... Bruce :D

I am not the smartest tomato in the patch, but I have stuck with it for ten years here in rural Lower Jerkwater. If I can overcome the hurdles of coming from the rural poor and trade profitably in the three worst years for a long, long time...well...anyone that want's it can do it. To me...

Also, search the Stocks&Commodities back issues for this one. It is a top notch article that addresses this risk mgmt issue as well. It was my epiphany for the making trading risk something I knew I could handle. Essentially, the risk of 100sh of NYSE:XYZ at $120/sh is much different from the...

I joined the group....downloaded the free software...my outcome was unworkable...pgm was not user friendly....discussion board is overrun with problem questions... my import of a Quicken *.qif file loaded garbage....after a couple hours trying to get it to work, I chucked it because I was making...

If you are like me...80% of your profits come from the top 20% of your trades. I beat myself up in 2002 with a ton of trades, but it was my best year ever (a nice percentage over my day job...and the wife finally is cutting me some slack...) I had a similar pbm...my solution...(I threw...

Can you point me to this "Global Server"? Tnx! Bruce

Speaking of D....I heard there are some brokers that support downloading matched transactions to automatically load D in TurboTax. (I've got 350+ transactions to matchup and schwab isn't any help.) Is there anybody doing this? If so, what broker, what software and what level of quality are...

I have seen a graph of #Advancers/#Decliners superimposed upon a price chart which I believe is supposed to be showing how the individual stock's price is performing relative to the market. Presumably, if the stock's price is far below or above the A/D market line...it communicates that it is...

Peugeot.... Thanks for the reply.... For my situation, I am looking for a term to use the sw for a min of 4-5 years. The cash flow for 16-20 quarters the lease goes $3120-$3900 while the perm real time license is $1495. So to go down this avenue I would think about leasing one qtr to see if...

$1500 is a bit more than I can layout now for RT.... but the package looks very well designed from my scan of the website. Wealth Lab Developer at $650 looks interesting. I'll have to try the 30 day drive. Thank you for your suggestions! Bruce :)

The least cost software/real time data I have found is QT with Money.net-Software is free (if you don't mind one small ad line) and Money.net for QT is $15/mo. I use it for basic alarming...which works great. Their charts are OK, but it is not capable of taking your strategy formulae and...

Does a basic, programmable, stock trading package exist that I can implement my strategies on (and have at least 2 real time data sources it will work with) without going over $500? I've looked at a lot and most programmable packages have bunches of bell and whistles I don't need...and a...

Thanks for the suggestion...you are right...it is pricey, but I might be able to get the return. I looked at the API in the HTTP Server on QuoteTracker. That about the least cost setup I have found....just started searching. I have been using money.net with it. Only downside is money.net...

I want to implement a strategy that uses multiple timeframe tech indicators. For example, x# of 15min bars of Williams%R (intraday) AND y# of daily bars of Williams%R (daily). Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced software package that will let me apply the above indicators (plus my own...
