As far as TA. I think it does work, but it is difficult to find when it does work. I ran into this script. basically it looks for RSI to be under 22 and some other conditions for a buy signal. This formula gives better than buy and hold results. Then point I am trying to show is that this...

I am looking for a virtual stock market that lets you play against others using real market data. I have used http://vse.marketwatch.com/Game/Homepage.aspx it has all the functionality I am looking for but it has too many bugs to be useful.

for free you can try TurTrades . It lets you practice trading in the past using real historical market data, it also has a number of technical indicators. And next market day is only a click away to see your results. Good luck.

I have read many books. But the one that changed my thinking was don't laugh I was new at this: Stan Weinstein's "Secrets For Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets". I was not aware of technical analysis at that time and this book has introduced me to it. Looking back it was not a very good...

Firefox has an add on that I like that shows stock ticker. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/415

Has anybody used turtrades to practice trading, and do you find it useful ?

This is not exactly what you want, but try www.turtrades.com it does not do intraday but does lets you replay day by day, and it is free.

Just implement this algorithm. if (price_today < price_tomorrow) buy(); else sell(); profit();

I ran into this on some other forum. Have not tried it and not sure if it will fit your needs. http://www.journalmytrading.com/

Do you care about the other lines. If you only care about current time, display only lines that intercept right side of the chart. Take a look at <code> http://ta-lib.org/ </code> I wish I found this before I did my stiff. Good luck with your project.

For virtual trading I just signed up to this site http://vse.marketwatch.com/Game/Homepage.aspx so far it has everything I want. The only thing I don't like is that it does not kick out people who are not trading, so if you have losses you are ranked lower than people who have 0 trades. Other...

I would suggest using C#, instead of VB. One book that I like is http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-3-0-Introduction-Oriented-Programming/dp/0470261293/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268700979&sr=1-14 . I think you will find these day that VB is similar to C# , But I think you will find more...

If you are into technical analysis you might find this helpful. http://sites.google.com/site/testmytrades/

You bring up a good point, but no it does not install backdoor or anything like that. You have my real name on the site so getting my drivers license numbers should be fairly easy with the use of internet. If you feel uncomfortable than ignore it.

Very good blog. Got me interested in your approach. Book you recommended on Data Minding http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0120884070/ref=oss_product . Is on its way to my house (this subject is kind of new to me) . Thanks for making me interested in the subject.

I wrote something. I am not sure if it would fit your needs but it is free. Any way here it is. If you do try it I would be curious to know that you think. Any way there is the link http://sites.google.com/site/testmytrades/

yahoo provides historical prices Yahoo snp in csv format than you can use spread sheet to do want you want.

Thanks, enjoyed the video. To prove to myself if chart reading works I ended up writing a program to user real market data and see if based on charts alone I can predict price movement. So far I came to conclusion that it seems possible. If you want to play with the program you can find it...

Try bigcharts.com

This is one of the best threads I have read in a long time. I have been looking at technical analysis for years with random success. So I figured the best way to prove to myself if the system works is to write my own market simulation software, Click here to go to Turtrades It allows me...
