I gave Prodigio a try for quite a while. But, eventually I gave up on it for a system that I could actually write programs for. As interesting as the building blocks structure is, it is so much faster to just code it yourself in another system. assuming you have some sort of rudimentary...

Commissions are $4.40 RT (at least what I'm paying). A few weeks ago, I had a problem with canceling an order. I called the trade desk and couldn't get to a person (phone rang and range, no voicemail, nothing). This was during normal market hours. With tech support, I had a connectivity...

Hi Stefan. No, it wasn't today with the phone issues. The problems this morning just reminded me of how I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone there. And caused me to start this thread. Thanks

Hi Cstfx, Thanks for the response. Perhaps that (moving) is an issue. When I called tech support and the trade desk. I tried from both my cell phone and my landline. Both had issues. Either it rang and rang and never answered. Or it rang about 7 times and then had a busy signal or some...

This was a connectivity issue. Not a NT issue. And it was a phone call that I made, not an email. Call me whatever you want. I'm simply asking if anyone else is having problems. Obviously you are not. Move along.

You have no idea what you are talking about. I haven't been with them long enough to be a problem. I've yet to talk to someone at tech support or the trade desk. So, it isn't like I'm bothering them. As far as my account rep. I talked to him once. And that was on the day that my account...

I've only been with Mirus for a short time. So far, I'm a little concerned about them. So far, I've placed multiple calls with my Account Rep to never have it returned. On another day, I called tech support throughout the day to only have the phone ring over and over and no one ever...

Good stuff to think about. Thanks Stoxtrader.

I've recently started using Ninja Trader. If you optimize a 1-min strategy over a year.. Do you wonder if that is too much of a sample? I mean, things change so much over a years time. Should you really sample for that long of a period (be easy on me, I'm a self admitted automated newbie...

dloyer, While I didn't do any walk forward testing. Those are not back test results. But live results over the last few months. Thanks

To answer some questions... This is an intraday strategy that uses 1min bars. It produces an average of 1 trade a day on ES. I also run a slightly modified version on TF. Will probably adapt for others as well. Algo Kid, I don't doubt that a lower PF can still do very well. I'm...

Thanks Joe. I was thinking of doing something similar. Optimize each weekend using the previous month of data. But, I wasn't sure if a month was enough, or if I should stick with something like what you are doing (6 months). Thanks again.

At what point is optimizing a strategy become too much, and you are just curve fitting? I have an automated strategy that I wrote that performs pretty well (profitable 76% of the time, 3.24 profit factor). I've been using it for a while, but the optimal values change as time goes on. For...

If they are re-branding.. Then I'm afraid I don't know the source. It has been a while since I looked. But I believe FXCM has a couple/few pieces of software. This was just one of them. Good luck. :)

I hope I'm not falling for some sort of bait... but here goes anyway. http://www.fxcm.com/ Tried it. Didn't care for it.

I'm pretty certain that a tick chart from TOS will look quite a bit different from Ninja/Zenfire. TOS seems to filter the prints. If you watch the DOMs side by side, you can easily see that TOS is skipping quite a few trades. It is not printing everything. Do this. Put /ES up on both...

I think TOS has better features. But, from an application speed standpoint, I'd pick Ninja. TOS is a Java app. Much slower than Ninja in my opinion. As far as executions and quotes. That is hard to measure. But Ninja/Zenfire does feel faster. It largely depends on your trading...

I don't think there is much of a difference. I have both Zen Fire and TOS. If you have both the Active Trader open on TOS and the DOM on Ninja Trader with Zen Fire, the difference is very subtle. However, it is obvious TOS is doing some sort of data filtering. There is not as much...

Not yet. But they say it will be able to do it in the near future.

I stumbled across this thread tonight. Funny enough, I've been trading a somewhat similar strategy for a while now. Although mine is a little bit different. Instead of the fib tool, I use the fib extension tool and adjust my averaged entries depending on what the particular pullback is doing...
