Okay. I have a really good system in the making, but I'm a little short on start up capital. Since my system is really good, I'll be rapidly accumulating capital anyway, so I'm leaning towards simply funding a small account myself. Or is TST worth considering? I don't think I should have any...

There's a lot of talk here and I have a hard time keeping up with everything. Let's cut to the chase. Is TST legitimate and is it recommended for someone short on capital? Does anyone know of anyone who's consistent and is consistently paid by TST?

I've been tinkering with it a little and I'm thinking perhaps the 200-day average is too slow and that perhaps I'll have to use the 50-day average or similar. Then: If day close above 50-day average --> Up trend. And vice versa.

I had to take a little break in my work, but I'm now back on track and interested in completing this in not too long. Basically, at this point, I'm "done". I'm just spending time thinking about stuff I may not have thought of before I move on to testing and programming. I have one question: It...

What's that?

Knock yourself out. I don't own this thread, so everyone can post whatever they want. : )

Well, like you said, the audio was really bad. I skimmed parts of it, but it didn't seem to be similar to what I'm doing or trying to do. But perhaps I'll give it another go some other day when I have better time. It could perhaps seem like I'm a complete newbie starting from scratch, but...

I guess I'm an asshole then. Best of luck with your systems and trading for a living. :)

Maybe this makes me an asshole, but that video seems to be a sales pitch? I'm also reasoning that if someone has a really, really good system, they would never fully disclose it in public or sell it. Instead, they would trade it themselves to become filthy rich. With a really good system, you...

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I've written out two posts today that I deleted before posting since I'm feeling very secretive about my approach. :) I'm going to see if I can watch that video now. I put together another piece of the puzzle earlier today. A lot of my questions have been answered, but...

I would be very interested in looking at this. Thanks! Where can I find this? Would this be their Youtube channel? Perhaps, but I'm not sure I agree. I tend to weigh the most recent past the most for various reasons, hence why I didn't go further back. I had to go back a whole year to find 10...

Thanks, man. Those are good suggestions. I'll look into them. My workload is currently killing me, but I'm hoping to learn programming on my own in time.

I think you would benefit a lot from the chapter in Brett Steenbarger's The Daily Trading Coach where he talks about conducting historical analysis using daily data. It's fairly simple, but it is a good starting point. His blog also contains a lot of stuff on this. However, for me, I'd say a...

Why would that be nice? Care to expand? :)

Currently, I've been looking at index futures and I haven't gone beyond Excel at this point, but I suppose I may need a database and possibly some other tool to automate things. I don't want to be an asshole or anything, but I've spent quite a bit of time on this, so I'm very careful about...

Thanks a lot, man. So far, I've only compiled my metrics manually in Exce on an EOD basis. Very cumbersome and time consuming of course, but at this point, I'm just focusing on developing my model and figuring out stuff. I'm thinking perhaps I can hire someone to write out the code for me...

Hello traders. I'm attempting to put together a statistical model for intraday trading. Basically, it's statistical sorting based on various parameters and metrics that I've compiled. So far, I got quite a bit of stuff to look at. In fact, I'm wondering if I perhaps have too much. Still...

I do not doubt it, I just have hard time visualizing it and I'm not sure how I could go on implementing it. Do you have a book or some resources to recommend? Actually, I have this...

Thank you. I'd rather not share too much, but basically, I want to build on the type of sorting exercise I'm already doing in Excel, where I have data in tables. With Excel, you can set up OHLC data, but also add derived columns from the OHLC input such as % change, if it's a gap up/down open...

This is similar to MATLAB, right? Incidentally, I already own MATLAB and have learned some VERY basic MATLAB skills as a minor part of the curriculum in a course I took in calculus. Specifically, numerical methods such as Euler's Method, Newton's Method and numerical derivation and integration...
