    esignal prepaid pricing

    Try using Web Archive in Google, first listing, you may be able to find an old version of the pricing page. Tried their Elite for the EW, it's nice but is only for trend analysis and honestly did not like their quotes. The sub-minute are all over the place, would guess they are taking in HFT...

    "Flash crash" versus gradual decline

    In the past floor traders worked on hour and daily charts, now HFTs work in milliseconds, both would have had the same end result, only the elapsed time is different in completing the move. It's really that simple. The problem is that most people cannot react that quickly with confidence to keep...

    Looking to get excel, 2013 vs 2016?

    Running Office 2010, they changed it so you cannot run Office on more than one computer so either need to buy multiple copies or move to Office 365, which is what most are doing. Office 2010 works perfectly well, but you probably also want to look at the 365 offering. In reality the newer...

    Please share your favourite time frames

    1sec & 1min but also 240min, because if you get the 1s you sometimes catch the 100-200pip move as the trade winds up. Very nice low risk with 8pip stops, more profit, less loss! Now, the problem with 1m/10s/1s/100ms is that they require complete confidence and the ability to trade instictively...

    Tesla driver killed in crash while using car's 'Autopilot'

    Clarkson already mentioned something along these lines https://www.technologyreview.com/s/542626/why-self-driving-cars-must-be-programmed-to-kill/ The problem with all this is that no one understands technology can take you 95% there, but can't fill the missing piece as it requires too much...

    Trading via own remote company in a no-tax-country

    They got rid of all these structures a long time ago, there are some places such as NL as mentioned that have special rates for expats which provide clarity but in the end they effectively treat it all as income where you are resident. These days, you need to physically move to the location...

    BREXIT

    You could see around 2100BST it was heading Brexit, the problem is that the city traders are idiots and just shot everyone in the foot. They dropped the price without confirming the resistance so it's going to have to retrace back up to 1.50s. That means it's going to be a yo-yo until the...

    The Brexit Trade...

    So received an interesting chart expecting topside limited to 1.52/1.53 GBPUSD. There is information that hedge funds have bought in to exit polls at £½mil each, therefore some time in the next few hours if the price pops upwards from current 1.48/1.49 then there is a high possiblity of an exit...

    What is your "normal " profession?

    Used to be a high end management consultant in finance but when hired to provide a Fortune 500 company (actually one of largest companies in the world) with a CEO strategy report with a 3-5year timeframe, they didn't like the fact that it was stated they need to change or it would go horribly...

    Oil at $5 - $10 a barrel ?

    $52 is about the peak at the moment, looking for it to drop to $18, they need all the shale produces to capitulate then it will become quite interesting.

    Cyprus tax - recommended service provider?

    Ocra, on paper, maybe, and with experience, no. There are various providers who make it simple but they are few and far between. Now, is Cyprus a smart choice, would probably say no for trading but that's something separate, €7,000 is too high. Will you receive the correct advice for the...

    How do you cut losses?

    The higher the timeframe, i.e. the longer it takes to complete the move, the more chance there is of something going wrong. There are basically three trading styles, the two fat-tail being long time frame and multi-year or very short timeframe similar to HFT. The third is the one everyone uses...

    Brexit

    In the end it doesn't make any difference. The housing market needs to collapse 60% to revert to the mean, central banks have been flooding the system with money, ECBs desperate attempt to buy junk corporate bonds. Having spent time in Brussels it's the most ridiculous place, MEPs having dinner...

    Easy Language a Good Place to Start?

    Honestly, how stupid, it's called an NDA. Then if they do take it and make it successful, which they won't as most people aren't that smart, you sue the senses out of them and go and have a nice holiday on a yacht that someone else paid for. Fantastic! Ah, but that assumes you're smarter than...

    What makes Successful Traders?

    Here's a story. Usual Sunday routine, late lunch, quiet day, and early to bed. On the Monday increase the account by 4% with almost perfect trades and start the weekday routine which entails much the same as the weekend except the meals which are later in the evening. Come Tuesday bad trades...

    Easy Language a Good Place to Start?

    This makes no sense, if they Google C# Linux the first thing they come across is this question and someone pointing them to Mono!!! Going back to the language, Easy Language is fine it you are happy with a higher level pseudo language which is directly integrated. With custom code such as C#...

    Automated Trading Platform

    Thanks for the response, in the meantime found the problem. Tradestation uses walk-forward principles, on converting some of the functions and the strategy to work in reverse managed to do in a couple of hours what took a few days before. Would presume all of the platforms use the walk-forward...

    Automated Trading Platform

    Have been reading all the discussions however there are some open points which would like to clarify. Have been using Tradestation, the coding is not exactly quick and came across a problem backtesting. On debugging the strategy it fires off two open orders at the same time randomly, however on...
