    How to avoid false signals using MACD?

    Thanks, but that's too difficult. I'm not interested in spending screen time to learn how to do something. I just want something I can see below a chart with a binary buy or sell signal. Something in the area of 95% correct would be great. But 80% would be okay if the risk:reward were something...

    Opening Orders - 2008

    Impressive Shreddog. Were you ever down at one point? I was 90% short today and it ran against me a lot before things got better.

    Sterling Platform Performance

    Backup didn't work this morning. They had to reset the servers so it was a black out for 10 minutes. Then trading wasn't safe for a while. Of those 20 something orders I sent out, some of them got filled but it didn't show up on my position monitor so I *thought* I was flat. It was only 15...

    Haha, me too. I have about 20 orders sitting out there. Half of them have "New" as status, the other half have "Sending-N". None of which can be cancelled. Just waiting now....

    Sterling Platform Performance

    Oh, I meant with Sterling cause I'm kind of tied to it. But I think I may just have to look elsewhere and just send my orders through sterling. I find the execution to be really quick. I can't complain there.

    Sterling Platform Performance

    I've actually been doing that for a while now. I put a 2 second timer after I deregister the quotes before I close the application and that seems to do the trick. Now, can anyone get a decent API feed using any .NET language??

    Look at the way Brett places his hand when he's got his legs crossed a few minutes in. Gay or nay?

    Sterling Platform Performance

    I don't even bother showing EdgeX/A cause they always get stuck. BATS too. ARCA not as often. But problems seem to be getting worse and worse. You'll have problems during any big news event but I kind of expect that from any trading platform. I have to be on the sidelines during those times...

    I said his background was similar to mine. Nowhere in my post did I say what he was doing with NetFlix has anything to do with my trading strategies. Wake up buddy.

    Sterling supports 64bit?

    500 stocks will definitely slow you down. Sterling quote server isn't what it used to be my friend. Try having a few level2 windows open with that. You'll definitely feel the freeze. When you say " It is slow to receive the data when I run my program.", do you mean your ATS, or Sterling...

    Sure, they'll teach you how to scalp GE for pennies. End of month if you aren't one of the many that lose, gross = 10,000 net = 2,000

    Two backtesting questions

    Well, the main problem right now is you only have 1 year of data. Is the system optimized for that one year? If it is, you may be sad to find out it might not work outside of that area. In my testing, I have found 2007 to be more profitable than any other year with my stratgies. Opentick...

    Sterling supports 64bit?

    Do you mean the API feed? How many quotes per second are you receiving? I doubt having more RAM will help. What language is your ATS written in?

    Psychologist beats mathematicians - MUST READ

    Very cool. Bellkor is much like me I guess. Psychologist with a math/programming background. Funny thing is, my most profitable trading strategy is based on a model I did for my thesis a couple of years ago. Signal processing and bayesian learning for mate selection. Who ever knew what you did...

    Waht PF shoul I aim

    Oh, my mistake. I misread your statement. You should backtest the strategy for a few years. You'll have a much better idea then. I find that R:R is more for psychological comfort and doesn't play as much as a factor in how well the system performs (as long as its not totally skewed to one...

    Waht PF shoul I aim

    What are you uncomfortable about? If you have a 70% win rate, even a 1:1 risk to reward ratio is good. Grow some balls and trade it. You're probably uncomfortable because you're unsure of your system. Have you backtested it? How long of a period are you basing these real money numbers on? How...
