    Tradestation

    Agree with you. But please be more specific about your customer service complaints: Was it regarding the platform or the brokerage. IMO, TS makes a very good platform and has a below average brokerage. DS

    Tradestation Securities NO TAX INFO

    Once again, Tradestation Securities has seen fit to not have available the data needed to properly calculate Sch D1 tax forms as REQUIRED by the IRS. Anyone know a workaround or heard anything from them? They do have the 1099 form but the data is not in the form required by the IRS to...

    I'm continued to be amazed at how well this method works and even more amazed that despite the ridicule Jack was subjected to in other threads, he continued to teach it. Just look at the MPWRE trade started yesterday: Up 9% (as I'm writing this) since entry; no wonder Jack got phone calls...

    The lunacy of the Darwinists

    And that makes it religious dogma not part of science. Scientific theories all have the element of disprovability or they are not science. Also, Darwinism last I read about it, is agnostic regarding how life first began. Rather it is the theory of how life developed after the first life...

    Not to start a discussion on Kelly but I'm pretty well convinced it does not apply to trading since it is based on a Bernouli distribution which is not what we see in trading. Also, when you say risk 6% of your account, that means you are actually taking a position roughly equal about half...

    The lunacy of the Darwinists

    I've yet to see an anti Darwinist / Creationist post a theory that has the element of disprovability.

    EasyLanguage Coding Question

    Norm, I think you need a dynamic array. I've used this code in similar studies. input: Nth(2), Len(100); var: ix(0); array: HArray[](0); Array_SetMaxIndex(hi, len); for ix = 0 to len -1 begin HiArray[ix]=h[ix]; end; value1 = Array_Sort(hi, 0, len-1, false); { value1 returns...

    I'd thought I'd post my results after trading this method for 7 weeks. I was amazed: winning trades: 17 losing trades: 5 Win%= 77 Avg Trade Gain 1.6% biggest win 14.7% biggest loss: 4.8% The results would have been better had I not screwed up about half dozen trades...

    Backtesting a Basket of Stocks in TS

    Norm, TS itself does not support this; however, there are some ways to do it. If you have access to Tradestationworld there are a few threads on this topic. I use MacroExpress to do this. It automates changing the symbols and I export the results to a file and analyze it with EXCEL...

    Fair Tax of 2005

    I find it amazing that those who favor the NST, aka fair tax, don't explain why it will be different this time as it has failed and been replaced by VAT everywhere else it was tried, with I think one exception and that was under 10%. And it failed for many of the reasons listed in the letter...
