    Why Turtle system uses 20 and 55 days?

    Buying 3 month highs and selling three month lows has been a pretty standard trading methodology for many years. A lot of traders also buy and sell 12 month highs and lows.

    Another eSignal Stealth Release

    Maybe you guys would be better with V10.6. i can reboot my modem and router without closing down esignal and the connection light goes to red then back to green, reconnecting without a problem.

    FB Home inpact?

    Facebook is really interesting because, like Google, it's real value is its ability to deliver targeted advertising. Facebook have been criticised in the past for not getting this right, but they are working on a new advertising technology that will revolutionize ad delivery. Basically, the...

    40% ain't a harcut. It's a leg amputation.

    Massive Ships 12-Miles Offshore to Provide Floating City for Entrepreneurial Start-U

    Hopefully they will declare it to be a small country and make it a tax haven! That should help lift numbers.

    eSignal 11.5 Releases

    Joe, what do you mean when you say the last couple of updates? Are you talking about updates to 10.6? I wasn't aware there have been any updates. Runningbear

    Backtesting of HFT strategy - Limit Orders

    The only real way to test a HFT system is to use real orders on low volume then progressively add volume to determine at what point size becomes a problem. This is by far the simplest, fastest and best method. Anything else is just guessing. If you can afford real money tests, you can't afford...

    An All-new eSignal Launches...

    Someone on this thread will have the .exe file saved in their download folder. I will check mine, but I'm pretty sure I deleted everything in my download folder a few weeks ago. If I were you, I'd just email them and ask them to send you the file. As a customer, you should have the right to...

    An All-new eSignal Launches...

    I'm still using esignal 10.6 and it's pretty solid. I run it for a month at a time 24/7 without rebooting. I don't think I would upgrade to 11 unless they offered automated trading which could be 10 years away. Runningbear

    Core i7-3930K vs Xeon E5-2630 For Long-duration Financial Calculations

    Im with the other posters here. Excel is your weak link, not the hardware. Do it all in Matlab.

    Paul Tudor Jones Reveals Big Moves In Facebook, Apple, Groupon

    150,000 shares in groupon is like lunch money for Tudor Jones. I'm surprised their fund would enter such a small trade. It almost sounds like one of their junior traders slipped on his keyboard and brought them by accident.

    Isn't the "Fiscal Cliff" the Best Thing for America?

    Anything that reduces government spending is good for the long term future of the US.

    Taxing the rich will not solve the problem.

    Hitting the fiscal cliff will be the best thing that ever happened to the US. The bloated military will be forced to reduce its outrageous spending and the country will see that its much easier to balance the books than everyone thinks. Runningbear

    Greg Coffey retires from (no) Moore Capital

    He has still averaged 22 percent a year for close to 20 years. Better than most posters on ET I imagine.

    IB BookTrader Feature

    That sounds to to me like it has been programmed that way to prevent people accidently reversing a position twice and being long again when they intended to be short. Not a bad thing if you can reconfigure the settings. But yes, not very useful if you can't.

    IB BookTrader Feature

    FUTUREMANN, I'm struggling to understand your question. If you are long one contract and you reverse, then TWS will sell 2 contracts and your short 1. If your short 1, it will buy 2 contracts and your long 1. What else do you want it to do? Your statement is not very clear.

    Automated trading with Matlab

    You'll have to pay for historical data or real time data. If you ask really nicely, there maybe someone on ET that can send you some historical data for you to experiment with. Runningbear

    Amazon AWS vs VPS: MetaTrader 4

    You're absolutely right FroggerMan. However it does get annoying when you post a practical suggestion to help the original poster and someone jumps in and has to turn it into a personal attack that has nothing to do with the discussion. So in this very rare instance, my intention was to patronizing.

    Amazon AWS vs VPS: MetaTrader 4

    Maybe you should re-read the posts on this thread. I never endorsed Amazon as a hosting solution. You're making out like you're some kind of expert on this subject and you claim to be using TT yet you didn't even know TT run their own data servers. Do you even trade. Or are you just sitting in...
