You might check out NeoTicker at www.tickquest.com It has a powerful programming language and many scanning and multiple ticker testing features. If you use Quote.com as one of your data providers, I believe you can scan across their full database of stocks, if you'd like. Check out their...

Hi Jeff, Congrats on some great looking results for your system! Certainly 300 or so trades gives you a pretty good starting point for comparison. It sounds like this is doing well for you. As the summer markets are different, I'm wondering if you've tested this on any Sept contracts...

I recently saw an advertisement for Zap futures (Futures Magazine, I think) which touted an application that trades from signals generated by a strategy running in TS2000. By the looks of the ad, the signal to the trading software fired concurrently with the signal generation, and the fill took...

dottom, Excellent information! I've had the same experiences with scalping systems that look great on paper. Then, I'll sit there and watch the NQ or ES trade at my limit then move away leaving me unfilled. So, I've gone back and done just what you've described, and seen some sobering...

dkamp, I'm a "fully involved" TS2000 user, but I do keep my eye out for the up and coming alternatives. (I don't have any of the many problems/bugs that other TS users are bothered with, and I think it's primarily a function of system resources and the OS.) The three that I've been...

I understand that Behold! is a very good product. The problem I have with it is that it runs on Macs, not Windows platforms. I haven't heard of anyone who has successfully used the emulator. (Not that I have anything against Macs--in fact, I've happily used them in engineering for about 10...

I tried my "Help" link today, but that new website appears to have some broken links in that area. The symbols you are discussing come in several forms: QC:ADVN (All of 'em) QC:ADVN.NY (NYSE Advancers) QC:ADVN.NQ (NASDAQ Advancers) QC:ADVN.DJ (DOW30 Advancers) For the "ADVN" above...

If anyone is looking for historical Advancers or Advancers-Decliners, check out www.traders2traders.com in the data section. There are also some historical futures continuous contracts to download if you'd like. It's all in ASCII format, so you can read it directly in Tradestation or most...

I wanted to add two ideas to this thread: The first is about exit orders being good for only one bar. Essentially that is true since all orders, except for entry on the close of the current bar, are executed on the next bar. One way to take advantage of some of the built in functions of...

Cesko, Sorry for the late reply. I'm one of the AT&T Broadband subscribers that lost service as part of the Excite@Home bankruptcy. Finally, I'm reconnected....:D What I was referring to was Tahoe's suggestion that he would be taking trades signaled from his Metastock Pro to his cell...

brich, No problems yesterday on eLocal. See my other post about on a different thread about the commissions. They are somewhat higher than IB depending on how many contracts you are trading. However, the customer support is excellent. I can quickly get them on the phone, and there's no...

The three that come to mind are eSignal (check Futures magazine for the $79 offer), QCharts, and myTrack. TS Pro (Tradestation6) maybe, if you can talk them into just buying the feed, or if you are willing to open an account. As you probably know, there are lots more feeds/charting packages...

andrasnm, I'll take the NQ home overnight. I'd like to say that I sleep without worry, but that's not so. My test is this: if I can't sleep, then I've got too much risk. If I sleep like a baby...well, then I must be flat... I'm a mechanical trader. My solution to this issue has been...

I completely agree! Take nine of those 10 contracts and just let them sit in your T-bills margin acct. Trade one contract. If you are trading mechanically, or if you have a good sense for some of the statistics of your trading style based on your historical trades, compare your average...

Kicking, No hidden fees. That's an "all in" price. Everything's included, even the PATSSystems royalties. (It used to be an additional $1.18 per side to cover fees, in addition to the $1.50 per side advertised.) Haas, I agree that for high volume traders this is a higher price. This...

Hi wild, Well, I can see using eSignal as one of two datafeeds/providers. I put up with Quote.com because of the four years of historical 1 minute data that I can access. For backtesting intraday systems, eSignal's history just won't cut it. Frankly, I'm not even that comfortable with...

I've seen the eSignal inserts in Futures magazine advertising the $79/month package. I've never followed up on it. If you don't mind answering the question, I'm curious about what drives the price difference. I have been considering this eSignal plan as a backup feed, but I may be under...

Hi Don, Add me to the list of many who have been enjoying your posts. I really appreciate your participation here. As Bright Trading is considering trading SSF's, I'm wondering if you have given thought to including any of the electronically traded index futures contracts, specifically...

I got more information about the eLocal commissions and the deletion of their $500/month charge. I started a new thread so I wouldn't take this one too far off topic..... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2910
