really? i didn't even know wealth-lab was a good interface for trading....hmmm, i'll investigate, thanks!

i know there are alot of APIs out there for IB's TWS, but most of them are good for just trading one market at a time, right? so what does everyone use to trade 2 or more stocks at a time? thanks!

shaaa...i wish!! i've just about filed my flight plan, now i have to fly the damn thing :O

yes, i have markets that are non-correlated. actually, i just tested this on the qqq's and it works, just not as well :) they seem to not have drawdowns at the same time. i think i might have just figured out an 'indicator' that predicts when profits come and when drawdowns come. this is...

also, how do you guys determine at what point to stop trading a market with a particular strategy, after it deteriorates? i guess the biggest challenge for me now is to find out how to 'track' the efficiency of my strategy in a given market. like you said t-rex, finding what makes the strategy...

i now have a strategy that i've backtested on about 20 major equities, and 4 major indices. of those so far, this strategy performs good on 50% of the equities, great on 30% of equities, and poorly on the rest, including the indicies. my question now is: should i take the best performing...

we won't know until a few more hours, but if all went well, the first of 3 probes has landed!!! http://www.esa.int

when you stop saying things like 'it looks like' (you've said this in both your posts here -- usually refers to the fact that you don't really have a plan nor a way to measure performance) you will find yourself in a good place. until then, 'it looks like' you need more experience :) i...

i have a feeling that some day harry is going to finally tell us "GOTCHA!" and we'll all feel much better.

1. esignal. 2. yes.

interesting you bring this up. i really don't know how far back i should test. right now i'm just dumbfounded at how good this system works (i guess i never knew what trading with an edge meant). my fears say backtest farther than 6 months. but i could be doing my system injustice by...

i was reading the katz and mccormick book, and they mentioned trying to stick with compiled (into native code) languages. i don't think either javascript, or easylanguage fits that bill. i am wondering myself if i should look into some c/c++ systems, because some of my tests -- just on the 6...

hypo...when did ESignal start providing 1 year of data? i only get 6 months right now. did this just happen?

true, but i like to backtest everything conservatively...and this system only trades 150-200 times a year. commissions won't be that big of an issue.

no. and if i told you, well, you know. :eek:

well thanks for the humor, but i think i have alot of work ahead of me :) this doesn't work for all markets (i haven't found out why yet -- need alot more research), and the majority of markets don't have these great of equity curves -- i have just posted the best i have found so far.

thanks oddi...i am currently setting up TS for just that. i went through manually on a smaller timeframe today for entries/exits and did much better than my results. i am going to go through the markets that this fell apart on, and do the same thing -- possibly will tell me what things...

my system seems to work for many markets without changing any of the parameters, but does fall apart in other markets. pretty nerving to me (does this always happen, or should i only consider systems which behave similarly throughout all markets?). also the 6 month backtest for me isn't...

ooops my bad! :)

i feel scared that i have come across this system...i feel like its somehow going to breakdown in the future...i had nightmares last night! anywhoo, i think i'm going to get TradeStation and backtest it further than 6 months, but so far so good. this thing is completely automated (all the...
