    getting serious: wealth-lab vs amibroker

    I simply use Amiquote, which is a small piece of software that downloads data from the internet free from Yahoo, MSN and other places. I use the Yahoo data because if you don't have a RT quote feed you can update the current days prices throughout the day. Here is a discrepancy that Yahoo has...

    getting serious: wealth-lab vs amibroker

    no i have no programming experience at all but I did have Metastock before I bought Amibroker and some of the stuff is somewhat similar and that kind of helped me out. Although the systems i trade are not complex at all. Eric

    getting serious: wealth-lab vs amibroker

    diligent, I was in the same position as you and went to www.wealth-lab.com to see if i could go ahead and program some of my strategies and i couldn't get the code to do what I wanted to do. Unless you already have some programming wealth-lab has a very steep learning curve. I then looked...

    Do you trade other countries' stocks?

    I traded German stocks for a while this year and what I found is that the US is by far the best, imo (once you take out the stupid SEC PDT rules). The reason I say that is because the US is very liquid and the spreads are very small compared to Germany. The only reason I went to Germany is...

    Mark Weinstein: High-percentage Trader

    I completely agree. If the guy was so darn successful he would have owned the world by now. His interview while it may have some tiny bit of merit to it is total BS! I really don't know why JS included it in the book. Eric

    Data Providers

    Ok I went to esignal & DTN IQ's free trial and they all had the same opening price as IB's. After talking it over to a customer rep it appers that they are getting their data from all exchanges as opposed to only the Nasdaq, obviously. So does anyone know of an easy way to get the RT...

    Data Providers

    No problem. The reason I am looking for an outside data provider is that IB doesn't give me exactly what i need. I need the offical open of the stocks that I trade. For example, IB gave me the open for JOYG on 5/18/06 @ 56.03 when the offical open is 56.06. Since I have backtested my system...

    Data Providers

    I currently use IB as my RT data provider and Amibroker as my charting/trading software. I trade US stocks. I have a system that trades off the open price so I would like for it to be the "official" price so my trades will match my backtested results. The problem is that IB doesn't give the...

    I have tried to get a hold of their Live Chat several times but none worked. Even though it said that there was 0 people ahead of me. I will try Firefox next time to see what happens. Eric
