AllenZ, nothing new under the sun :)

This is exactly warning signal. In most cases strategy will lose money.

Optionetics is relatively good, but seminars in general are in conflict with trader`s goal. They sell good news about trading, while You need to know the dark side of it. For these reasons I would rather buy books, no matter they are long and boring :D

General rule as You, know about optimization is: as little as possible, but this does not help in many strategies. First You must understand optimized inputs. Example: if You optimize position system based on indicators, very short periods oscilators naturally will produce significant amount...

Snake, thank You for response. I am actually long time "Futures" subscriber, and I have that. Buy I also help some new young brokerages in Europe to get orientation in industry, that`s why I was looking for something online. I agree with You - there is a lot of politics in any brokerage...

This one is pretty good. Thank You. Why such things are not easy to find ? We have CFTC, NFA and so what ?

Thx. But they are mostly stock brokers. The future probably belongs to "stock&futures", but what about futures brokers ? Researches through NFA site does not return much ?????

Maybe... some comparison lists ???

Does anybody knows any brokers ranking on the net ? Thx

AnomalyResearch, looks nice, but how about slippage/commission ? Multiplying by more than 200 trades it takes big portion of the profits out. Also - why only few months back ?

How far did You backtest results ? Such results usually comes: 1. From error 2. Spotting temporary cycles (long trend has own mechanism, but once is finished, the cycle is gone Trading "live" the system can clear this out.

trdrmac, Yeah, and this the hardest part to accept. In TS there is something called adjusted net profit. Kills expectations, but also helps. Futures Truth - I know them, see Yourself: http://www.futurestruth.com/ Enjoy !!!

... for all opinions. I agree that tool is a tool, there is no magic to it. For my personal use combination of TS and Excel gives me what I need, but there always can be better calculator to put the things all together right ? Also, open question for me is whether trading software biz is more...

I would really apprecciate any opinions about this software.
