MOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! If I remember before I cancelled my subscription, Barons correctly called the bear market, we are either now leaving or still in, many times and at least a few years early. They believe in the old maxims of economic forecasting: 1. If you give a number, don't...

Send OBL here where I live (Texas) and we'll take care of him. DS

I use it for exits and have the Tradestation code if you want it. Doug S

I don't worry about the bonds, as I have a "ladder" arrangement and most of the ones I have have decent yields (6+%). Nor do I worry much about the utility stocks as I intend to hold them long term. The royalty trusts have done extremely well but there best days are likely behind them. When...

I've found that active STOPS (not the ones sitting in your head that go unused because you think the market is wrong and will swing in your direction just as soon as the latest swing against your position is over) are a must. One BIG loss may wipe out dozens of good trades and make an otherwise...

I "retired" at 48 and started trading. The retirement came about as I was "downsized". Fortunately, I had a bronze parachute-about 2 years salary to tide me over. I looked around at the jobs available and there were a lot but I did not want to start over at the bottom, only 2 weeks vacation...

GMS, IN your post: " You may want to consider the type of ownership of your account. In a joint account (with rights of survivorship?), each party is presumed to own the whole account, not 50% as commonly thought. Therefore, if you or your partner, for any legal reason, is subjected to a...

I've been wanting to do this but since I use Tradestation, it is near impossible to do large numbers of stocks as TS does not do portfolio tests. I've looked at Wealth Lab and it seems that it will work. I will get a trial run of WS sometime soon and give it a try. My first guess at...

Trend, Suggest you read TRADING systems THAT WORK by Thomas Stridsman. Link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/007135980X/tradestationw-20/002-5185722-1417664 While the title suggests it is about trading systems I found it to be about testing them and it includes Monte Carlo as...

Another, but I don't know the author: How do you make a small fortune in stock market. Start with a large fortune.

By Will Rogers: " Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it. " Doug S

If you can do it, use "walkforward" optimization. If you do not know what it is, it optimizes on one set of data and test on another set, not used during the optimization. The results from the test set should be similar to the results of the data set used during the optimization. If any...

I went through this doint my '02 taxes where my father and I had a joint account with his name first and all income, etc was put on the 1099s to only his SSN. I asked the IRS about this and was told he may nominate me and make out a 1099 to my SSN if he desires and it is appropriate (don't...

I don't know if you found this information yet re. services. Select: "Start" "RUN" and type in "services.msc." This brings up a list of services. "SELECT" the "EXTENDED" TAB Look over with amazement at how much is actually running and take some time to understand what you are...

Winsum, EXPE/USAi was a neat pair. I tested it in my TS 6.0 pairs trading strategy and it showed: 41 trades/36 winners for a net gain of 14 points before the usual slippage etc. over the past 150 days. However, I'm not trading pairs currently. But this was a good one. Doug S

This is a link to the Tradestation World trading strategy. You need to be registered I think to access it. https://www.tradestationworld.com/discussions/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4201 Doug S

There is a long post at Tradestation World including Tradestation code to implement a pairs trading strategy. IF you are interested I could send it to you or post it. But, it is long. DougS

I got my "free" CD in the mail and assuming it was like previous years, I loaded it up. Big Mistake. After I registered, I had some "mystery" system crashes that went away after I uninstalled everything, not an easy task about 6 weeks ago before Intuit started responding to all the...

Wes, Thank you. Your wesite has given me much to think about. DougS
