    A near miss for Deutschland

    The 70K soldiers who are there are a part of a) an occupying force after WWII and b) against the old "USSR threat". To most Germans the US is not regarded as a close alley. Their participation in Afghanistan may well be as a part of their obligations to the UN. Holmes

    where have all the traders gone?

    Bingo same same here, market is still the market. But if one is just a one trick pony then yes, things can be tough. However I have indications that this sideways market is about to change: volatility is slowly creeping back in the markets and then this means reverting robot crap will fly...

    The cease-fire

    People? Are you out of your mind? Women and daughters are chattel for the A-rabs. I would give my dog a better treatment than that these misfits do to women that they percieve to have flaunted "cultural values" like the girl hanged from a crane and left dangling for 45 minutes. Time for the...

    It reminds me of the activity of quants: a measurebater. Holmes PS Can we rename quants to measurebaters?

    Would you pay $27,000 for software?

    You may want to take note of my posting in the backtesting thread. These head in the clouds people are just too far away from reality that it ain't even funny. Safe your energy. (Or do you think pop and mom are quants too?) Study what Jesse Livermore had to say about these "scientific"...

    Would you pay $27,000 for software?

    Ohh, don't worry, I know exactly what you mean. I once employed someone whose brother was running the research desk on one of the three biggest banks in the world. Unlimited budget and over 100 quants there. Trouble is that these quants don't make serious money but I do. That's why they have...

    The cease-fire

    Actually Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran declared war by stating that they want to wipe Israel of the map. Neither did they retract these statements after worldwide condemnation of those expressions. So what these countries have happening to them is selfinflicted. I do not know of any law that...

    If your powerbasic is not a compiled version then you can gain sevral magnitudes of performance increase by going to compiled BASIC and let it run under Windows instead of running it under the command line. Holmes

    Would you pay $27,000 for software?

    No. It is not that it may not be worth it, I have used software that was 250K license fee / year. There is a far simpler reason: It aint worth anything using what anyone else can use. Same principle as that it ain't worth knowing what someone else's indicators are. In other words...

    TS 2000i intallation problem

    this sounds like an error that you get after you have had TS2000 installed with a different key. Some records are being kept in the registry and need deleting. Remember that I once saw some remarks to that on the web somewhere but cannot help you further than this. sorry - this is not meant...

    Value of Backtesting and Stops

    What do you know about if I can backtest or not? Before YOU open your mouth about that - I made a profession out of that and have forgotten more than that you'll ever know. Now, if you want to know why backtesting is useless then you have obviously not even realised the automated order flow...

    Value of Backtesting and Stops

    No need to respond to the rest of your worthless dribble. Having 5 Million US in a trust account and getting an allowance from that in 1940 I would not exactly call being broke. Keep going on with your popular and misinformed delusions. Old Chinese proverb: Those who say that it cannot...

    Value of Backtesting and Stops

    Adjusting your settings based on historical data (yesterday, last week, last month, last year) and trading with those settings is like driving a car while looking in the rearview mirror. (in other words: you may get somewhere but it will be awfully slow and you cannot compete with the guy who...
