Some of my CoolTrade automated traders actually by the lows (after they start back up). My robotic traders also run in "stealth" mode so no Limit Orders get sent out ahead of time. So, while I'm out golfing, you're at home staring at charts and graphs and level II screens, competing with...

ha. ha. LOL. That is funny. Bogus Exception, I thought the 10 was a typo. ha. ha. OK. If you really believe that DOS is useless, then go with C# or Flash. But go with something useful because you have a use for it. Only you can make that decision. Ed

Don't you mean "2" kinds of people? And the answer to "what programming language to learn for the summer?" is DOS Ed

I am a professional programmer for 30 years and have spent the last 9 years developing a trading system. I would not recommend someone just starting to program to develop his own automated trading system. Nor would I recommend that he hire someone else to create it either. Companies have...

1st, ATR by itself is not helpful. You need ATR%. 2nd, a stock could drop 5% a day for 5 days and that would be a 25% drop. So, ATR or ATR% is not enough. You need an MTR (14), which is Max True Range. That will tell you if the stock is actually trading within a range. Because if the...

CoolTrade only trades U.S. Stocks, including ETFs. It does not trade Futures. However it is fully robotic, is all point-and-click and has an indicator called something like TODAYS TOTAL PL. You simply put this rule on the Exit Rules (tab-5) of the Strategy Wizard, and it closes all...

http://www.cool-trade.com Is all point-and-click (no programming) Has ATR(14) which is a 14 day Average True Range. However even if the stocks have ATR(14) of $1, that isn't really helpful by itself, because an ATR(14) of $1 for a $1 stock is 100%, while an ATR(14) of $1 for a $100...

I am not an Excel programmer either. Programming in Excel would be tough for me. However, I would not give up so easily. Individuals and companies have put years and millions of dollars into the developement of trading systems, that can be configured to run many different (and unique)...

Many times the only thing preventing a good system from working is the users unwillingness to actually let the program do what it is supposed to do. If you go to the CoolTrade website and click on the "strategies" link, it will show 5 top long strategies and 5 top short strategies, each...

You can simply buy on the ASK and sell at the BID and lose the spread all day long. No one will get rich except the broker. Or you can put your money in mutual funds and watch 1/2 of it vaporize. Why are you interested in "losing systems"? Ed

It's funny that many people think about robotic stock trading that caos is going to ensue. They could not be further from the truth. In my opinion manual trading causes more caos. A robotic trader is going to follow the rules "every time", and they are "your" rules. It's not a drunk...

MB Trading has their own API, with sample programs. Why not just program to their API? Edbar

CoolTrade, hands down. Develop the trading strategy with the point-and-click strategy wizard. Set the rules, set the profit/loss goals. No programming, no scripts. Then run the automated trader and it follows the strategy, picking the stocks that meet the rules, opens/adds to/closes...

The CoolTrade system is all point and click, so there is no programming involved. All you do is set your entry rules (including fundamentals), and your stop loss goals, and profit goals, and the system automatically opens the positions when the entry conditions are met. It then automatically...

A $2000 test is useless. If you plan to trade live with $50k, then you should simulate with $50k. That way, you will be buying/selling the same number and size of positions in simulation as you will when you are live. An account with $2000 is in no way going to even come close to...

For Automated / Robotic stock trading, all of these timeframes are used. My automated strategies use longer term indicators to determine which stocks to watch for potential trading candidates, and it uses much smaller indicators (real-time prices - bid/ask/last) for the actual buy indicators...
