Smart move from the Swiss. They know Eurex is pretty much done with the upcoming FTT.

For most systems I trade, you need to simulate limit order queue, not just OHLC datas. Backtests wouldn't be representative. At least IB simulates the order queue for bid and ask when paper trading. It 's not perfect but it gives you a better picture of the possible results.

Really good.:)

I used to backtest on TS, AmiBroker and wealth lab but I haven't backtested in years. I just write a system that might work and put it on sim for 1 week, 1 month, 3 months... depending on the frequency of trades and what should be considered a relevant sample.

I forgot. Benefits: You can have one idea on saturday night, write the whole system the next morning and test it in sim on monday. When you are used to VBA, you write functioning programs really fast.

I don't use the spreadsheet to trade, I only use it as a support to create my own spreadsheets. The API syntax reference on the website is full of errors but you can use the sample spreadsheet to find where the problem is. The sample spreadsheet is more accurate than the API reference. I have...

Hello guys, Is there a fundamental reason for september to be higher than August and October? Thanks a lot.

If they are implementing it based on the residence principle, we would have no other choice than to relocate physically. In France for example, you can create offshore entities but the administration has the possibility to requalify your business as a french one ( fiscal evasion procedure ...

Check both wings markets and provide liquidity on the least liquid one so that when the first wing is filled you can simply enter the last one at market to get the whole butterfly at 10. Ex: You already have the body at 5. One wing is 7 x 13 and the other 9 x 11. Place a bid at 9 on the first...

I can't talk prior to 2007 but I traded the overnight session on these instruments for 5 years( until I stopped in 2012 ), and the overnight session is much more liquid now than it was in 2007( and more efficient ). In 2007, typical B/A spread on wheat was 10 ticks, gold 4 ticks, natural gas...
