There seems to be a lot of information concerning how to build the tape. For example this Image: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2009629 It shows a pretty exhaustive list of how the tape can be initially formed from the first few bars. No problems there. Its easy to...

Background: I have been developing automated trading systems for many years. Some have worked out great, others not so much. During this time I have attempted to learn SCT discretionary trading, however it still has not "clicked" for me. I do not know if this is due to SCT just not being a...

Does anyone know a data provider that can provide quotes on every listed stock say every 5 minutes? So say at 8:30 pull down the price of every US listed stock.. then at 8:35 do it again.. etc.. The strategies I want to implement I need to be able to have all of that data.... at places such...

Yea intermediate term is the one that seems to be giving some major fits... I look forward to seeing your chart on the tape however.

I have tried automating a strategy similiar to this and found it very dificult making an algorithm that is capable of auto drawing channels... I am still trying to do it, but what the mind can see very easily its hard to teach the computer how to see it...

Some good sugestions.. anyone know of other vendors for this data?

hmm to further complicate things.. every company seems to use a different formatting on their fillings... such as if you look for the table with "net income"... the stucture of where to find the actual value is VERY different in every filing... could make parsing difficult

Looks like only form 4 will have the ticker symbol.. has to be an easier way to match symbol to CIK

nvm on the CIK.. apears the fillings also contain "IssuerTradingSymbol" which is the symbol.

Also does anyone know of an easy way to convert between CIK and the ticker symbol for a company?

I am thinking of simply downloading all the sec forms. On sec.gov they have them going back till the 90's... Thinking of downloading all the data, then parsing those forms to extract the meaningful data and then generating new data sets with it.. Does anyone know if its legal to redistribute...

Anyone know of a "cheap" place to buy/or find historical fundamental data for say all NYSE traded stocks going back a few years? Anyone offer this type of information?

nkhoi, No thanks... way too risky of a play....

Yea I agree...... to make matters worse he wants a financial stock ;)...... but back on topic any broker you know for sure can set something like this up that I can tell him?

I have a friend who has never traded before... but he is DEAD set on wanting to trade today. He thinks he has a great idea but must make the trade today.... I am only familiar with interactive brokers policies now since that is all i currently use....and I know they generally have a several...

Over the past few years here at ET the term "price action" has been coming up over and over. Generally then followed by support and resistance. That makes sense.. HOWEVER no one seems to mention "how" they use price action.. Would anyone care to elaborate beyond support/resistance when...

Not sure where is best to ask this question so I'll just chose here. My question is, I know with data providers such as opentick and anywhere else you can get historical data you are NOT allowed to redistribute that data. However, my question is can you redistribute "processed" information...

Does anyone know of an algorithm for finding all the peaks and valleys in a time series?

I normally do a few things to keep myself busy... Like read google news over and over... Work on my stock bot.. play online games like at www.yahoo.com If i'm having a really bad day I like to try to win some money so i'll play at www.wildtreasure.com or www.pogo.com Worse case scenario I...

tommaso, One thing I should point out that you may not be aware of. In IB's paper account the data is not accurate. I ran into this problem a year or so ago. I developed a strategy completely on the paper account, only to then realize in the real money account my signals were way off. This...
