    More on APS and out_of_sample testing

    Thanks Kevin, you are technically correct. The data for QQQ prior to inception of the fund were provided to vendors by the company based on extrapolations but you are correct, they do not present actual trades. I have repeated the study using SPY data since inception. I used an in-sample from...

    More on APS and out_of_sample testing

    I start a new thread to hopefully discuss some results I get from APS and ideas for better testing. The procedure I follow is: 1. I use two historical data files, the in-sample and the out-of-sample. 2. I run an APS search in the in-sample 3. I test the patterns in the out-of-sample using...

    I have been working on a few position trading systems for forex and I am looking for a retail broker other than IB to test them real-time with a mini account. Any suggestions?

    Out of sample testing of patterns

    I'm not saying I would trade this system. Actually, its Sharpe ratio is below 1 depending on how you do position sizing. What I said is that its performance was better than the equally weighted bars and based only on that criterion it was better than chance. As you know, one can assume chance in...

    Out of sample testing of patterns

    Code7, You actually made 3 comments. - About the number of trades. I allowed multiple entries for each pattern. This is why the number if greater. Harris allows multple pattern entries but not multiple entries for each patterns. This IMO is based on a certain philosophy about treating...

    Out of sample testing of patterns

    intradaybill cannot backtest correctly and code7 is a stupid geek. This APS thing was so intriguing to me that I spent the money to get a license and I do not regret it. First thing I did was to try to replicated intradaybill's APS results for QQQQ and then try to replicate code7's claims. My...

    Greek 2-year bond yield rises above 13 per cent

    Printing causes inflation. The net effect on borrowing ability and interest rates is similar.

    How large? Can you give the number of trades? Or are you just speculating that this is the case?

    Out of sample testing of patterns

    The trade-weighted PF is around 1.29 based on my calculations from the figure. It can be much higher if you use the various patterns with some clever money management. Which random set of all possible random sets? You can find a random set that outperforms any system and one that...

    You don't get it. HF creates virtual liquidity until a dummy bites the bate and gets ripped off.

    Intraday trading and Percent-Risk Position Sizing

    Intraday trading percent risk per trade for me is 0.1%. 2% is way to high. A low level of percent risk demands a large bankroll most intraday traders do not have and as a consequence they fail. It is as simple as that.

    Out of sample testing of patterns

    I think you are both doing the same thing. I would by the way trade only those patterns with the highest number of past trades and a high enough hit rate.
