    Wealth-Lab Creator Has New Site

    I am not sure what you mean. You can test on the website or use the stand alone desktop version. Better research trading ideas first than follow self-proclaimed Cramer's and Co. In regards to Beau, whatever you wanna say about him, he is not wearing a suite and is not the typical WallStreet guy...

    NYSE auction data

    Thank you. It seems thath this only concerns the close or am I missing something? IMO the real open price is more important = NASE or NASDAQ auction price. I wonder if Bloomberg uses it?

    Best Backtesting software?

    I am sure many have said it before, so I just wanted to reconfirm that I believe (for good reason) that Wealth-Lab is the best. I am not a sponsor, may I still say it.

    European market back testing

    Actually my partner Dion is from the US and I am German; to disappoint you even further I have to admit that the brain is sitting in the US and the marketing/sales side was more or less German; so you are only half right. ;) BTW, now it is all US since Fidelity bought Wealth-Lab but you can...

    Do Gaps Always Get Filled

    When testing historically you should consider a few things like that the data is dividend and split adjusted. Take a look at MSFT on the link I published. The strategy bough MSFT after it paid out a large dividend in November 2004. BTW, there is still an open position in MSFT from April, 2000 at...

    Esignal Adds Administrative Fee On TOP of New Exchange Fees

    It all depends on the markets you need to follow. I am wondering since many months why anyone pays for real time data and historical data if brokers like Fidelity gives it away for free (stock and options only) including good software.

    Do Gaps Always Get Filled

    Here you can test your theory on one or all symbols as a portfolio. The script test the theory that "all gaps are eventually closed". It looks for substantial down gaps, and enters the next day at market. It attempts to close an open position at the limit price of the pre-gap bar low. The script...

    Wealth Lab backtesting with Tick Data?

    No problem, send me the data and I will test it for you. As I said earlier, I am sure any custom C software is much faster.

    Wealth Lab backtesting with Tick Data?

    There is no doubt that a custom C programm is the better option for large amounts of data, also the version 3 has been improved. BTW, I just ran > 17000 days system in four seconds. That is Dow Jones data going back to 1933. Of course a dual system with self tuning takes much longer.

    The best trading platform

    The group that you know are trying to sell the one or the other but nor WL. Just as much as I am connected to WL. My advantage is that I know WL, TR, TS. Excalibur, MS, SC, BackTrak, Behold!, ... so I know what I am talking about. I said it before, I welcome the group of traders "that you...

    Wealth Lab backtesting with Tick Data?

    Again, it depends on what triggered the signal. Lets say you wish to buy at the highest high of the lat bar, then this order will be executed as soon as this price has been triggered. You DONT have to wait until the end of this bar. If you use an indicator that is using the CLOSE of the bar...

    The best trading platform

    It also depends on what you are trying to back test. If you just need one market then a lot of tools will do, but if you need to test intermarket relations, portfolios and use real portfolio money management then only a few are left over.

    Wealth Lab backtesting with Tick Data?

    I think I should clarify a few issues here. The quote above was surely referenced to a different situation. Asuming you run a system in 5 minutes time interval and you have an 20 bar RSI associated with the system. This 20 bar RSI will only be recalculated at the end of the 5 minute bar and not...

    A question about Wealth-Lab..

    You might also take a look at the articles that have been written and published on the web site. On the community site they are now hidden in the "knowledge base" and will only come up after you type in a specific question. Nevertheless on this site you can find differnt sections of articles...

    wanted to buy: Wealth-Lab Developer

    agrau, are you German? I am flattered that someone here knows that I am the president of the VTAD. For our US friends, the VTAD is the German version of the MTA (Market Technician Association). I understand your point of view and I in fact was arguing just as you did before I really started...

    Rina software - opinions

    Howdy, thank you for joining the ET forum and for giving me the opportunity to explain to you (and the readers) in more detail the unlimited possibilities of WLD3 and reinforce my statement. As it seems from your posting you belong to a more advanced grop of users who has passed the stage of...

    wanted to buy: Wealth-Lab Developer

    I might jump in here to answer the question. The license is per user and can not be transfered. This makes perfect sense, since each new user needs support especially at the beginning. The software is also very reasonable priced and offers features that you pay thousands for when looking at...

    Tradestation vs. Assent

    Thanks for the info, so it is basically not comparing apples with apples? But then you could make Assent a TS competitor. :)
