Oddiduro: Thanks for your reply. Along the lines of what I'm looking for, just enough time. cnms2: Well, I'm probably not one of the kids you're referring to (although it does seem like recently sometimes). I was trading trends back when International Game Technology and U.S. Surgical...

I don't want to get off topic too much, but most scientific discoveries are based at least partially on the work of intelligent men and women that came before them. Are far as new trading ideas go, one does backtesting whether they realize it or not. They just do it visually without computer...

[Alpine, you are a businessman.... and I presume you do research before committing to any venture... So, how about try doing some simulated trading for a while and see whether Mr Hershey's system bears fruit? If it turns out that it does, then you can commit real money... Consider it...

I've been in and out of this journal for a couple months, as well as the first journal. I've been an investor, a trader and a business owner for a long time, so being that I've been around block, I have to ask a few questions bluntly. I'm in no way trying to be rude: 1) I've seen some of...

She who must be obeyed and the Trend are my two best buddies.

A couple questions: 1) What is your definition of a sound theory? 2) How do you determine you are working with a sound theory?

I bought Amibroker about two years ago. Its a great program for the cost (< $200 ) and you can use free Yahoo EOD data. It'll cost a few bucks for real time data. I'm not a programmer either, but I was able to set up simple EOD scans like your trying to do, after investing about 4-5 hours...

That's funny, a friend of mine had almost exactly the same comments about proflogic as Duey. He said the posted trades are an absolute "holy grail" joke. We all know there's only one way to do this.............post trades in real time for a whole week.............but you won't, because...

Been to Switzerland three times. Of all the places I've been so far I'd have to rank it #1 in scenery, even over British Columbia and our Northwest U.S. I was always particulary impressed by how clean the little mountain villages were. It was as if little elves came out at night and picked...

Amibroker is an excellent backtesting program for the money (<$200 one time charge), and user friendly. EOD date is free from Yahoo. You have to pay for intraday from a quote vendor. Tradestation will do all you need for $99/mo.

jrs3, How's your execution speed with CMS Forex? Another ex-CMS user on another thread wrote that he had very slow execution times, sometimes minutes during high volume periods. Have you ever used Oanda? If so, how do they compare? I'm currently not a currency trader (QQQ), so I have...

I'm comparing QQQ to ES rather than NQ, simply because of relative liquidity & popularity. It seems that most of the posts on this site are from traders trading ES rather than QQQ. I trade thousands of shares of QQQ and find it very easy to enter & exit with only a penny or two for a spread...

I've traded stocks and QQQ for years, but know nothing about the emini ES. Could some of you consistently profitable ES, day or swing traders tell me why you trade ES rather than the QQQ?
