Figured you were just a kid. Now you get to join the likes of stock_trader on ignore list.

Instead of taking the high road and admitting you misinterpreted a very straight-forward sentence: you choose to go off on yet another arrogant tangent of irrelevance in attempt to divert attention from your blatant error(s). The "or" throws out any possible realm of 200MA daily / 20-period...

Are you just severly incompetent, or misinterpreted what I use as a "baseline" comparison model? Buy bar that closes "above" 20-monthly or 200-daily, or sell bar that closes below 20-monthly or 200-daily. Ex, SP500 20-monthly from the date you selected (3/20/2007) to current entails 2...

Any serious professional knows what an absolute joke this comment is. Some of the most successful funds that trade forex and commodities are trend following. Trend/counter-trend, BOTH work. You are acting like the typical ET bird-brain who just figured out the realm of counter-trend trading...

Get used to it. Times have changed in the last decade. IBN Singapore is run by a highly respected MIT chemical engineering scientist/professor specializing in nanostructure systems. http://www.a-star.edu.sg/astar/attach/press_release/1642_312_Prof_Jackie_Ying.pdf Gives you an idea why she...

Is this a long only or bi-directional system? Over the last decade, has it outperformed a baseline SP500 200MA daily or 20-period monthly directional strategy (close above = long, close below = short)? Perhaps I'm too demanding, but why waste time implementing strategies that don't have the...

Never noticed the reply, tx. After contact with the company in Feb, it turns out the MC IQ.dll is infact limiting tick download to 8 days, not to the fault of DTN/IQ. I believe it has to due with fact IQ had upgraded tick history from 8 day to 30-day in fall, and TSS never made the amend...

If you use a basic MA cross with average-to-poor rules, you deserve to lose your trading capital in the short time it will take. There are robust high frequency forex/FUT index systems, however, that utilize a weighted EMA cross for either entry/exit or both. The key is to properly...

100 contracts per side at what frequency??? Do you also calculate miles per hour without the miles? Currently lease a CME IOM seat locked in for 5-month term @ $2100 per month, trade 3000-3500 ES contracts per month. Break even on current lease rates require ~1700 contracts spun per month...

Any decent CDS/structured credit derivatives trader can sit down, analyze the books for a few weeks with an AIG consultant, and begin to help unwind the remaining $1.6 trillion just fine. The "they are terribly complex contracts" Liddy story you've been sold on is just smoke and mirrors in an...

Trying to give others a trade and you don't even provide an explanation for what may be going on behind the scenes? Here are some tid-bits that may or may not mitigate some guesswork: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FM71j6-VkNE/ScGdbpmIc-I/AAAAAAAABd4/t_oK5iPjNtY/s1600-h/C+ARB.gif Per ^...

So post count and length of ET membership is directly correlated to market intuition? Wow, learn something new everyday here.

You make other decent points, but are you kidding with this nonsense? I'm sure the banks that didn't <i>want</i> to lend to poor credit risks were forced by the government to securitize and sell those packaged loans into an incredibly high-leverage otc market insured via an unregulated swap...

Having grown up near a major GE research center in upstate NY and completing part of the GE Edison program, pisses me off to no end the way this company has been run into the ground over such poor foresight (ala GE Capital). An icon of American engineering/ingenuity turned into a greedy circus...

Feel like I've seen several of these posts each month since October. Maybe the ~11th post is the charm? Bottom fishing is an interesting sport to watch, but never understood the fascination in blind anticipation of bear market bottoms and bull market tops. You do realize the indices just...

Yes, blew by previous record held by WorldCom intra-day trade count.

While they're at it with this bologna, they should implement a downtick rule when going long :) Equal rights both directions.

Does anyone know if MC IQfeed.dll is limiting tick history request using IQfeed to 8 days? Cannot request more than 8 day tick both intra-day and AH. DTN has stated 30-day tick is available and the issue likely resides with charting platform vendor.

It may be you. Way to take an extremely complicated situation and derive a black & white conclusion from it. Surely Israel's settlement policies and compartmentalization of Palestinian land has created a warm environment for peace negotiation. If you think an issue like this can smolder for so...

How about addressing the OP's question? Many successfully incorporate volume into reliable strategies, including myself. Just because you have not found one nor understand how to dissect volume, does not mean they do not exist. WRT to OP, will try and locate a good article I stumbled upon...
