Which of these strategies would you feel the most secure in trading in an automated environment? What other performance metrics should I be looking at? Due to the HIGHLY specialized data needed for this system, the only data I got to test on is what I have captured over the past 40 trading...

Innamic, what do you mean by scanner? And yes I have been working like mad on this thing ;)

Krsna, Yes it has. It has made over a hundred trades in a sim account in a single day without a mistake. Wrote a script that was working on 5 tick bars and trading moving average crossovers. Created a TON of trades. It of course lost a LOT Of money, but as far as the software went, it did...

The system made 1 trade and lost $30 today...... good news is the actual automation part didnt glitch at all, everything worked normally.... not really that concerned with teh actual PL as that is only a result of the method the system is trading.. I only care if the system makes an error or...

I can not release any betas to the public at this time, but when I can sure you can try it..... UPDATE: I have my system running completly automated and unattended today while I am at work. So, hopefully things go ok ;) I figure there is no better test than to just let it go, and see what...

I have a complety automated system using ONLY cci that is profitable on the ES going back past 6 years...... however the way I use the cci in it, is not how you would typically use the cci.... complety out the box, but it actually works.. the system performance goes WAY up with using another...

No one will probably find this of interest, but starting this upcomming week, possibly Monday I will start running an automated system on my LIVE money account. I have a few systems to choose from, but more than likely I will use the one of the PL chart I posted, simply because that method is...

lol, I have actually thought of that...... even just using line charts for my equity chart I could see some very familiar techincal patterns existing, such as double tops and bottoms, and such.... it was very interesting to see......... I wonder if that lends more credience to the theories that...

Here is a screenshot of an equity curve showing my trade by trade PL for one of the methods I just backtested....This method here does not show a lot of trades on this equity curve, because it was very restrictive method I was testing that did not trade much..... only to show a demonstratiion...

blowfish, You have some good ideas regarding the line drawing, However I do not believe any of those features will be in any of the intial releases, or even if that feature will be included at all. I will keep it in mind and try to think of ways of implementing that. Inamic, Current...

crazedtrader, I could release a beta tomorrow. However I want the first beta to really surprise some people with the quality, and because of that it may be a little longer before the first "public" beta than I initially forcasted simply to get more features in and clean things up enough to...

elit, It is possible at some point it will support trading based off of end of day signals, however the earliest releases wont, but I will deffinetly keep it in mind for future versions. You will be capable of back testing strategies for EOD data, as well as looking at daily charts and...

blowfish, One step ahead of you, it infact does already record the bid ask changes, the following is what is recorded: 1. last tick as comes in through IB 2. bid 3. ask 4. bid size 5. ask size 6. last size 7. volume All of these componets for every symbol you have it set to record...

steveh, you are ABSOLUTELY correct.. As I stated how you select what symbols it records data for everyday, any symbol that you recorded data for that day will be played back exactly as they came in.... So yes, you can play back multiple symbols in real time at the same time, and it will go...

cowpok, yes I will be expanding it to support equities as well as futures

elit, Currently the package gets its data only from ib... everyday the system runs it records tick by tick data of whatever symbols you have specified. Then you can replay these ticks as if it was real time comming in, the system at that point can NOT tell the difference between the fact that...

You learned a whole new trading theory by reading this thread? Would love to know what you were able to learn from this thread ;) BTW, programming progress is still comming along well, everyday I keep thinking of tons of new features I want to implement... once done will be really cool

Looks like a quick google search of IBOT is bringing up way too many hits. :( guess back to the drawing board

ImamicPH, The init script, is simply a script that willl be called before the actual strategy runs to intialize any system variables you may want set..... This could have many uses, but some common ones would be if you need to set a variable to a default value you could do it then... or lets...

Toe, I like your name suggestions. Concerning view trades in a spreadsheet like window, at least for the first betas I will not have an actual window capable of that in the program, but could easily make it output to an excel spreadsheet or something....
