I'm glad developers of DLPAL soft just updated their product for v8 code output so now I can do the account as before I had to use another product. NT8 is the best I have used so far.

Backtesting algo is usually different from real-time order generation algo although they may share key components having to do with signal generation. So the answer may be it depends what you mean by algo. In addition your question cannot be separated from the nuances as you call them. I have...

Nitro, AI is overrated.

This is an extremely interesting paper. Thanks a lot. I also think that kut2k2 must apologize for his behavior. The term "compression" is often used in finance to describe a large class of forecasting algorithms.

You can never tell if an ATS will be profitable in the future because that depends on many unknown factors.

I agree.

Only a fool will believe that because trends exist he can make money from them. That's the big difference to understand. Seeing a trend and trading a trend are like day and night or even worse. The whole debate about the existence of trends is a distracting issue away from the real difficulties...

Google "price action lab". They have a platform that does this in scan mode but also in system development mode.

Possibly down about 15% in 2015.

Bucket shops deserve the SNB blow. I feel sorry about small speculators who might have lost everything and now they may also owe money and soon some guys will be at their door.

For consistent income please purchase 30-year Treasuries that yield about 2.85% last time I checked. :)

You are wasting your time with GA. There is no way for a multiple comparisons optmization process to generate a significant result. Simply no way..and anyone who thinks or asserts otherwise is so fooled.....

Also the number of trades matters. For 5-minute data you should have more than 3000 trades at minimum

"Some technical traders strictly trade gaps. They are truly that powerful!" Just Talk without any statistics. If you do the statistics for gaps you'll find out that the expected return is exactly 0.

EL or AFL is the most anyone here would ever need. If there is something more complex they cannot handle, then it would probably not work.
