Don't ever get hooked on just one thing. Be ready for anything....if we get some strong up volume on rising days, good-bye to the H & S. Just be prepared for whatever happens and beware of getting hooked on one indicator.

Probably one of the first books I read way back in 1980! That and the weekly Daily Graphs chart book, and I was off. Now with the `puter, it is so much easier.

Almost! Wait until you see black/red 5 times in a row; then bet and keep doubling if you lose...a can't lose scheme..... :p

I think eSignal equities @ $79/month annualized is probably the best way to go: Quotes - EOD and realtime Charts - EOD and realtime including eminis Portfolio Backtesting News Probably the best overall service available for the $

You can find a 5sma system over at www.stockhits.com under Recent Discussions: Traders Paradise.

Thanks Wild!

Chuck, I believe eSignal only has 60 days of intraday data available for backtesting, at least for the eminis. Right? That is just not enough data to backtest. How will you overcome this lack of data for intraday testing?

The most recent analysis of the path reveals it will NOT hit the Earth! Guess I can keep planning for the future :)

MS allows 65,500 data lines to be saved in a cache that has the past two weeks updated when logging in to your data supplier(ie eSignal). How much data(bars) can be backtested with Wealth Lab?

Dave, I appreciate the response to my questions. Since I use IB as my main broker, I think TS would be a good choice since I could use them as my backup broker and maintain some cash in that account for that purpose. Then the monthly fee would only be the $99/month. I would not need my...

Actually, it is MS Pro that does the caching. I only use eSignal for the data source. Quote.com is another source that works as well. My Dell Workstation has two 933 CPUs. I have 512 Megs Ram and Win 2000, so the resources are fine with what I am running. It appears that MS uses the hard...

Dave, What backtesting data capability does Tradestation have. I use one minute data(futures). 1. How many one minute bars can be backtested at once? 2. How much data is available historically for one minute futures data? 3. Can you program tests using multiple time frames? 4. Is the...

Thanks for the reply. Actually, MS does the same and keeps the current data in a cache for realtime data. The data I am getting comes from eSignal and if something goes down, when I get everything back up, the data is refreshed in the cache from eSignal. The hard drive does not work much just...

This question pertains more to MetaStock than Tradestation or eSignal. I am a Metastock Pro realtime user, and use many one minute charts with each having a few indicators. The hard drive is operating almost continuously in this configuration. I use eSignal as the data feed for the MS...

Maybe I missed your question. eSignal does update the NQ and ES emini volume in real time. I have one minute charts up for each w/volume and the volume is updated continuously. Not sure why you are having a problem with the volume?

Well, for those that believed SE had something to teach, I would suggest you go to www.qqqdaytrader.com and sign up for the trial. They use the same methods being promoted by SE. That's why I asked the questions about what SE was doing, since I had already taken the trial and knew what they...

Still waiting.... :) Well, it is still early in Hawaii...take your time

We've got a QQQ daily; a Nas Comp. 15 min. and a Nas Comp. 5 min all with the 5, 20, and 40 ma. And the Stochs 15,5,3.....Right? Now just what market are we trading from these charts? Or are we still building into that later on? From your screen shots on the six screens, we need a whole...

Plus we have a Head & Shoulders bottom in the Q's with the right shoulder at the stage where is should hold and then rally to the trendline. Lets see what happens. It is a classic setup with declining volume to boot! Interesting anyway :)

Aaron, What time frame does your NQ trading system trade? ie 5 min bars, 15 min bars? With only 44 trades over a month period, it must be a 5 min or so? Your average profit/trade of about 2.1 pt/trade for a 5 min frame would drop if equated to a 1 min frame. But more trades on a 1 min...
