I’ve experimented with vol bars and not run into difficulty. Anyone see specific negatives?

Engineering, at the 97% level, is deterministic by necessity and underlying natural law. Bridges, wings, controls, etc. Trading with a hundred thousand people randomly and emotionally boogering with your inputs ... that where hard starts.

Lindq, Interesting. What bar interval are you using?

Conferences worked best for me where you can get in 10-15 seminars over a couple days. 95% is useless or old, but that one 5% class light bulb idea makes it all worthwhile.

Thanks for the reply! Have you backtested more than one or more trading system with SigmaTrader successfully to see combo effects (like drawdown)?

With what looks like a nice multi systems backtesting tool and $100/mo price tag, Seer might have some potential. http://www.seertrading.com/ Does anyone have any experience with using this software? Best regards, T

Thanks for the reply! Been using TradeStation about 8 mo. I have two systems that individually test well when backtested directly in a single chart. I wanted to test them together to get a feel for the drawdown to be expected with the combination. Turned the strategies over to Maestro, put in...

Dazz, Have you used TradeStation’s 10 Maestro backtester in addition to their basic Strategy Performance tool? If so, how does that perform for you? Cheers! T

I sensed there was something more interesting under the hood. It sounds like you are channeling Laurens Bensdorp's system of systems approach only taking it a step further with a market neutrality process on the uptake and infinitesimally small single stock risk as a kicker. I have recently...

So basically any alpha you generate is by adding/culling individuals in that 200 to make it worth the effort over just buying an index? Have you been able to build some history of staying ahead of the index? Cheers! T

Interesting concept. What do you consider ‘large’? 40, 80, 200?

Had the opportunity to tour a local automation company that won the contract to build the 60’ long, multi-robot assy system for the Powerwall. Couldn’t judge performance quality, but the reach of imagination in the design and prior Big3 automation work was knock on impressive. Too many C-Suite...

IB, TradeStation allow sub accounts.

Glad that helped! Here is some direct insight to what I have seen recently with TS10. I went with TS because they have the raw data, autotrading software and brokerage wrapped up in one bundle. Speed to getting a trading system up and get my capital working was my main driver. The few test...

Check for the specific month’s contract you want to trade, each month has a separate symbol code: https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/ Micro contracts might be prudent to get your feet wet with. I have had 10X faster response with TS user forums at their website. T

Today was relatively choppy generally sideways. What is your criteria, indicator, multi-timeframe, etc that needs to be above some level before things get interesting enough for you to put a trade on? With inverses it’s pretty easy to find something moving up, but many time the too just go...

While the basics of 'community grid/power sharing' seems attractive, there are a ton of practical issues. Economics is a big one. Large wholesale genco plants efficiently produce cheap power through economies of scale. Distribution companies buy power wholesale and will not want to essentially...

Valuable discussion. I’ve wrestled with timing philosophy for a long time. Here is how it worked out for me. Everyone has different needs, but I say why even think in terms of “time” limits? Why not judge a ‘capital allocation’ based on its return? How much you end up with at your trading...
