Excel is not a trading platform, nor is it a backtesting platform. Tradestation is Multicharts is Excel is just an all-purpose calculation tool. You'll really have to do a lot of work in VBA and formulas to pull this off. Also, you'll likely find that you need to integrate with a database...

This is all due to Uncle Benny's helicopter money and other central banks flood gates of cheap $$$. When that ends, look out below. WHEN ? that is the big question. Inflation is already starting to show....so not too much longer now.

March copper at the ever so critical $3.80 level !! Everything is "risk off" right now. I don't "buy it"....employment and economic growth remain weak. This all due to the Fed. As such, It can't last.

Zoom, zoom, ZOOM. Huge run-up from $1500 to $1700 just this year alone. Unbelievable. This IMHO is a blow-off top...unsustainable in this weak economy. Simply a fabrication of the Fed's easy and cheap money stand.

So the fix in MC is to simply make sure the number of contracts/shares is explicitly stated in the Strategy's code ? Thus, if one strat is long 1 contract, and the other strat goes to sell 1 contract short, both positions remain ? I wonder if their new dot-new version made any changes in...

We're back to the $3.75 area once again. Incredible. This guy is strictly in a trading range....$3.50-$3.75.

Indeed....up 5 pennies today...Wow ! Short squeeze for sure.

Copper being held up by hopes that China will start to boom again. US Housing numbers...fair-at-best...not a huge factor.

No, thanks CD...I'm trying to determine the dominant force. Wow, That's been tough.

Friday, the entire metal complex was down...despite roaring equities and a steady crude oil market. Right now I'm feeling the "froth". What is this telling us ?

Copper (HGH3) could not break 3.80....once again. Weak today in sympathy with gold and silver.

That was the scariest statement so far from the OP. That is what NN and GP do....optimize to the point of curve-fitting the strategy. That must be avoided at all costs. The backwards and forward testing methodology wasn't even mentioned.

You ended up the loser on this one. Wow, just another ET loser.

Can copper (HGH3) get to 3.80 ? It's just meandering around here between 3.65 and 3.76. It has a shot if it breaks about the year's high (3.76).

The basically the OP is asking for the impossible: kind of "swim the English channel and climb Mt Everest in the same day....." Correct ?

Backtesting proves that for a fact. Keith Fitzken's work indicates best systems for intraday trading rely upon counter-trend strategies.

That will never happen. Unless everyone on this thread is super-stupid, this abuse of MOO is ....WAIT FOR IT..."By Design"....courtesy of your NYSE market makers so vividly depicted on CNBC. "All bow down, all bow down". you are being rigged....get it ?

Copper has been strong last 3 days. It's on a nice uptrend since the mid-november swoon. $3.80 level remains huge for the bulls... and that was last printed back in January of 2012.
