I enjoy the philosofical undertone in this thread! :)

to Bali_survivor: why don't you answer me in the thread instead of via PM, I don't mind your critic. And I think it very stupid of you to send PMS and not accept PMs back! I guess I should be glad i have a job, but why shouldn't one be allowed to have dreams and striving for something better...

Thanks for a great post Ninja! That is what I had in mind to do. :)

Thanks for your PM re tradebolt, tradebolt. :)

Yeah, I suppose that is true. But one would think if you are making good money in trading, you wouldn't hate it? Same thing with running your own business, if the money is good you don't hate it. If the money is good you can always hire somebody to do the work, while you sit around just...

FutTrd, Yeah that would be some good mentors there! :D

OK, I might come off as a am a whiner. I don't deny that, but I appologize if you find it awful. I don't know what I deserve, I don't think that is a question that one should answer himself. What I want on the other hand is a question only I should answer. Of course I want millions of...

Toc, That's a good point, Thing is I'm just working for the money. Period. I'm not in it to be able to socialize with people, like many people are. and so on... Just the monthly salary. I mean I can think of a long list of things I hate about work, and the things i like about work is probably...

Hi, I want to quit my job. I really do. I have quite a nice academic education in business/IT and a "great" job in IT, that I suppose a lot of people would love to have. But I have lost interest in my field of work, don't like the place I work at, and would like to either found a company in...

Does the fee for tradebolt include the IB brokerage fee, or is it tradebolt's fees plus IB fees? Thanks

Thanks for your reply frostengine. I guess storage of data would be another aspect as far as running software on PDA, although today's PDA come equipped with large memories. But nowadays there are very nice small portable PCs that could fit my needs! :D Would be very nice if your...

I'm wondering if Interactive brokers demo account is so realistic that the demo orders would have the same slippage and so on, like live trading accounts at IB would have. Regards

I'm sorry if i have missed this while skimming through the whole thread, I'm at work and have very little time... I am wondering where your software gets it's stock data? Is it from IB or can it load data from other sources? Also can it be used for EOD trading, and can it be scheduled...

I have tested my system in metastock. I would now like to trade my system. It is an EOD system, I would like to make it completely automatic. Is this possible in any software, or do I really need to program it myself from scratch in some programming language? I would like the system to run...

Thanks!

I have a few questions about the results from system tester in metastock. What does the stuff in the summary with the title "Performance indices" mean, i'm talking about "Buy&Hold Index", "profit/loss index" and "Reward/risk index". Example: Performance Indices Buy & Hold Index...

I hope metastock automatically uses the slippage for all types of orders, but i can't see any reason it shouldn't. When making a limit order, say buy at $25.55, will my order be filled at $25.55 or can it be subject to slippage also? I guess it's a matter of whether the slippage or the...

Hello everybody! I hope somebody is able to answer my questions since I want to devote my weekend to systems testing. I'm a newbie to automated trading mind you, I'm wondering how important a factor slippage is when testing a system that is based on daily or weekly data? My data is EOD...
