Here is my take. Since childhood I have known intuitively that people in general are fools. Now as an adult I can say more politely that I don't believe in the assumption that the investor makes rational decisions. So my advantage is that I actually make rational decisions. Which brings us...

No idea...I went with python because a few people I respect recommended it to me. I doubt it matters much for most people.

No I do almost everything in Python.

I added the ones called "custom 1" "custom 2" etc, and then closed. Then you can right click on that column and edit the code which allows you to reference your custom indicators.

Something some of you may find useful... In thinkorswim you can add a custom quote and create a condition based on any indicator you can write/find in TOS. It returns a binary output so I was able to use it to create this view based on some levels I use, so now I can create a list of stocks I...

Your site looks pretty interesting, but it is pretty vague. I'm sure that is because your are in development phase. Would you care to give a brief summary of what it is you plan to offer? Are you trying to create an open source exchange or something?

Start a blog and write a book. We will all buy it and sing your praises. I wish more experts would give out valuable info for free or cheap. I know you have already done that for years here of course.

That was the faster one here is the main one.

I added some funds this weekend. Still working on the pattern recognition code, should be done in a day or two. Really looking forward to doing some data analysis on it.

And one more that is unfortunately useful to me. :) https://qoppac.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/diversification-and-small-account-size.html

And this is driVing a lot of my current personal efforts. Blog post on trading rules. https://qoppac.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/some-more-trading-rules.html

This blog post hits on a lot of the big things I learned from the book: Strategy vs instrument diversification Calculating trade cost in terms of Sharpe ratio to determine reasonable trade frequency How to test ideas without curve fitting The idea of creating a price forecast Volatility...

I read the systematic trading book. It has been very helpful to me as a beginner in taking a more quantitative approach to my trading. If you didn't know, he has a journal on here. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/fully-automated-futures-trading.289589/

Here you go: http://www.systematictrading.org/blog I recommend his book it can help you avoid typical mistakes and it is simple enough for someone like me to understand.

It sounds like typical curve fitting and I think you will find you are wasting your time. I recommend reading globalarbtrader's material online or his book.

But this implies that you buy and hold forever. I don't think people actually do that unless they are involved in the company.

If you have any specific questions ask away. There are some pretty helpful people here.

Man I hope you oil traders are making a killing.

In the interest of keeping this thread productive... Cabelas (CAB) got my attention this morning. I've got retail very bearish right now but CAB confirmed on the thirty day yesterday and is making a nice flag on the intraday chart.

I can only speak for myself. This thread is huge and confusing and it won't spoon feed anything to someone in a day. I am an amateur and have blown out 3 small accounts in my life doing the usual TA type trading, the last blowout was around 10 years ago at which time I learned my lessons and...
