Does anyone know of any site, free or paid that you can get a few years of historical options data for all optionable stocks? Just dow stocks? Anything really?

The strategy had a good day today making +$1,462.... Which is a good sign as it climbs its way out of a draw down period.

Looks like the system has made 2 trades today, and has now completed 4 total trades since beginning the walk forward phase. Not exactly the results I was hoping for. It appears to still be within historical metrics, however not enough data yet to know. Granted I wish the strategy would not...

The system is finally in its second trade since I set it up last week. Its long currently from 970.25... hopefully this trade works out better than the one last week ;)

I see your using ninjatrader... make sure that your entries and exits are not on the same bar if your using minutely data.. #2 you are taking out NO commission.. add that.. #3 make sure your doing at least 1 in the slippage column for ninjatrader Run it agani with those changes and post...

It actually made a trade this morning. At least according to collective2. I leave it unattended so I can not confirm what it did. Only that it made a trade and that trade did not work out too well, a loss of around $1,400.... When I get back tonight I will look over to see what had happened...

Still no trades as of yesterday. I would imagine the systems first trade should be taken soon.

haha... thats the beauty of autotraded systems.. it has strict rules that have to be meet... rules aren't met no trade... some my look at that as a bad thing.. as long as it makes money over the long run, won't matter

No trades again today. I can already see everyone running in showing profit figures and saying "Game Over"... but that doesn't matter. Hopefully by now people realize this bot is not meant to compete with anyone or anything. Especially discretionary traders. Its meant to MAKE money taking about...

Unfortunately, I just realized when you set it to not accept any subscribers it does not let ANYONE see it. Which sort of defeats the purpose. So I can not use that method to stop subscribers.

I have found how to make it so it wont take any subscribers.

If there is a way to not accept any subscribers, tell me how. I would much rather have it set to not accept subscribers than to have to set the subscription fee so high. I figure where I set it should make no one in their right mind subscribe. I am merely trying to use collective2 as an...

Concerning collective2, you will notice i put a high figure for the monthly subscription. This is because at this time I do not want any subscribers. If I get subscribers I have to update my ninjatrader to the multibroker version. I am holding off on doing so until I know for sure that is what I...

Looks like I was having a conversation with myself this afternoon as all the other posts have been removed? I will be continuing the forward test tomorrow with all trades sent to collective2 for independent records. I am adding the short component to the strategy for tomorrow. The new...

If you enjoy the "kill" your not a trader either, your a gambling addict. Your addicted to the high of winning. Trading is a means to an end. If you see it as anything other your just a gambler.

There is no debating that with a machine some performance metrics are not going to be as high as a descretionary trader who can "see" what is going on and react. However, while your sitting in front of yoru screen all day everyday trading. My machine can be slaving away while I enjoy my day...

What part are you not getting? I am trying to improve SPM for a MACHINE. SPM by itself is not profitable for a MACHINE. Therefore 20-30% yearly is a HUGE improvement over SPM for a machine trading it.

One day makes the game? As I said before this is for long term profitability. If I have an auto-trading strategy that can reach anywhere near 20-30% return yearly. That is all I ask for. The day in and day out stuff does not matter. Yes you made money today, my bot did not make a trade. No...

Ok, we agree on something. I do agree that price action tells you that. That is why I must use SOMETHING to fill in those gaps, currently that something is SCT. Since it has someone rigid rules for identifying that price action. If you have other ways of 'seeing' price action for a machine...
