Interesting, but ... the results could not be applicable for real trading systems. The drawdown for some securitiies is > 50%. Such systems not for real trading. I would see the following steps for testing: 1) Develop system that can be traded, Max DD < 20% 2) Explore if pyramiding can...

There is also one more problem that disturbs - daily account statements. The are created in a random way, in particular on weekend. Sometimes are available on Sa., sometimes only late on sunday. Statement for 04.08 is still missing today. On the basis of daily statements I am running portfolio...

Completely support, very important feature.

TradeLog doesn't import dividends and interest payed !

QT is really a nice program but it's more suited for day trading as for swing trading. The problem is that QT doesn't download data. It must be collected on a local computer and this means that if I want to see a 2 day period chart, the data collection must run 2 days non-stop. If the trading...

But what is the value of GainsKeeper in Money for trading, if money can not import short sales ?

So, it was motherboard. ASUS P4PE/RL was replaced including 1GB memory. The technician has explained that may be it was short circuit somewhere on the board or RAM bank. Some of you have made quite precise prediction. Thank you. But the story still has no happy end. There is some conflict...

thank you everybody, it seems realy HW problem, disk or motherboard. I'll try to find out.

It is reading constantly CD drive, DVD drive, HD drive light always is on. May be it's HW crash. I dont know if it could be overheating, I have been monitoring for some time temperature it doesnt exceeded 60°C even during the most heavy loading. In the evening I have switched off, everything...

It seems I have catched virus. Computer doesn't boot, even BIOS doesn't start, so disk can not be re-formated, Windows can not be re-installed. Or may be motherboard crashed. Had somebody similar case ? Is there link to forum devoted to discussion of virus problems. thanks.

Talking only about reward to risk ratio, as was already mentioned, has no sense because there are other connected parameters that define together the features of a trading system. Trading with reward to risk equal to 0.5 and high percentage of winning can be very profitable and can have very...

I have done a lot of backtesting of pairs trading and as for all trading strategies there are periods that it works perfectly and there are periods that the strategy generates losses. And you don't know when losing period comes for a specific pair. I was not able to find a magic pair that is...

Why IB makes all so complicated ? Some security consideratrions or it's the incentive to select either job or trading ?

How can the be detected. Are there any tools ?

What is a optimal entry point for such patterns. Wait until breakout over an upper resistance ? But then the risk of pullback is high. Enter now ? The direction is still not quite clear. Any thoughts ?

Nobody is missing IB daily statement today ?
