In our case, Line 16 is a gain, not a loss and therefore Line 21 is not completed, per the Schedule D instructions. @ph1l is correct.

Very interesting, I'm following along in MQL5. For your EA, I'm not quite sure why you take the circuitous route of OnTimer() -> OnTick() -> Comment(), when you can just have OnTimer() calling Comment(), with OnTick() empty.

The normal distribution was used to simulate a binomial random variable with a probability of success on a single trial of 0.6. This is one of many correct ways of doing this and has nothing to do with the distribution of stock prices.

Assuming we have efficient pseudo-random number generators, both methods are acceptable given the problem at hand. We could also place 6 white balls and 4 black balls into an urn, and do everything manually. Of course there is no need to simulate here when the exact answer to questions about...

To simulate a 60% win rate, the script uses a Gaussian distribution. A more common solution is generating random numbers uniformly distributed over [0,1], and then applying the "is random number < 0.6" test. So it's not the result (-1 or 1) that is normally distributed, but rather the random...

You don't need a special account for the micros. Just add the symbols (MESU21, MNQU21, MYMU21, M2KU21) in the Market Watch window.

I understand you are satisfied with the NinjaTrader platform. Have you heard anything good or bad about MT5 and MQL5 as far as automated futures trading goes?

The handling of streaming data from R | Trader Pro and some basic trade management.

Thanks for your reply. As I mentioned, the 10 lines of Pine Script were just to backtest the strategy which is very straightforward. No trade management. Pine Script has some very powerful trading-specific functions. Here's 4 lines randomly picked out of one of their strategies : k =...

In order to test a strategy which had been brewing in my mind, I completed a Udemy course on Pine Script some months ago. I was then able to backtest the strategy in TradingView with 10 lines of Pine Script code. Pleased with what I saw and confident that there was no curve fitting, I thought I...

This didn't age very well (from 19 years ago). NFLX bit is halfway down.

From October 26, 2003 : I've just returned My wife and I have just returned from perhaps the saddest event we have ever attended - Tiny Tim's viewing. The frail lifeless body that only yesterday was alive and so full of hope, lay motionless in the hand-crafted pine box. Not far away, seemingly...

From October 25, 2003 : The Daily Skirt - EXTRA Tiny Tim, beloved son of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Crachet of London, passed away tonight. The frail youth, who got about best he could on a crutch, died suddenly just as the sun set. Family members had prayed to the Almighty that the boy might make it...

From October 25, 2003 : Saturday's Morning Greeting... I had a talk with God today. He told me a very sad tale of a lad, a tiny lad even for his years, that will soon be taken from the family that so loves him. His name is Tim, and among numerous infirmities, Tim walks with a crutch. But his...

From October 24, 2003 : Good Morning Mister Subliminal! It is estimated that more than 100,000 people died overnight across the globe. 100,000 good people who will sorely be missed. Moms and dads, brothers and sisters, friends and companions. Functioning, contributing members of society - gone...

Early the following day, October 23, 2003, this was waiting for me : Another Morning Greeting And yet another sunrise - and yet another day where you have cheated the Grim Reaper out of his due. Yet another day to blunder through life, stumbling and bumbling along the path. And as before, so...

Apart from our public interaction here on ET, I exchanged private messages and emails with @tampa. I awoke to this PM on October 22, 2003 : A Morning Greeting Well, it would seem that, defying all odds, you have somehow managed to see the light of yet another day - somehow managing to cast...

Rithmic's R|Trader Pro can stream OHLC data to Excel, the timeframe being that of the selected chart. So for example, for a 1 minute chart, after a minute the corresponding OHLC is printed in row N, and at the end of another minute a new OHLC is printed in row N+1 etc. Not sure if that's what...

This crazy mofo still lurks periodically. Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow mofos.

It has nothing to do with individual trading volume, but rather the combination of low demand and high state government regulatory fees. Supposedly.
