    Bond(ZN) valid daily data

    I am using esignal. I have observed that daily data is not consistent with intraday data. Things are just bazaar. For example: ZN (electronic 10 yr note) trades from 7pm till 2pm Central time. 1) when you put up 5 min chart you may see some bars after 2pm, you may also see trading starting...

    Housing inventory is low?

    This crossed my mind not just once. The question is what is the percentage of homes bought for cashflow/speculation. If that percentage is large and people get overextended, bad things may happen. I have recently talked with a property manager - she said business is so-so...

    Housing inventory is low?

    Is this a reality or a myth circulated by interest groups to draw in suckers? I am reluctantly looking for a house. So, my agent (pretty decent guy) sends this to me (we had a prior talk on low inventory): "...... Friendly warning:the prices will increase sharp and will see crazy market...

    DAX/ESTX: continuous daily data for future or cash.

    They used to give 2 years worth of data, now it is just 1 year. Still looking for continuous contract data or reliable proxies.

    ES,bond,$,gold - reaction to shock event

    Trying to model behavior of portfolio in response to shock event(s) during regular trading hours (not overnight). Why shock event? Because in case of shock stops may not be much of a help. Thus effect on multiple positions will be more significant, so it is important to know possible...

    Today's BONDS!

    So order was invalid?... Are such sick moves common to bonds (10:00 AM Eastern)? Let's say that people had sell limit orders in that area - do you think all of them got executed? Trying to gauge ability of bonds to move fast w/o loosing liquidity....

    Rental prices lead housing prices?

    Are there indexes which track profitability of real estate investment nationwide over a period of time? The most basic index should just reflect average price. Ideal index should correlate price and interest rates. Tax law influences would have to be omitted. Seems to be a basic thing, but I...

    DAX/ESTX: continuous daily data for future or cash.

    I am searching for several years of daily data for DAX/ESTX50. Cash index data which I get from ESignal or Yahoo is not really valid. The opening gaps are either nonexistent or smaller than they really out to be. I think this is a problem with EUREX. ESignal does not provide continuous...

    SEYKOTA's method?

    Looked at 18 pages, plenty of which are filled with Jack Hershey's posts. My post was not meant to dis anybody, or go into crusade. Just hope it will save some time for people reading Jack's posts. I believe I will add some value to this thread by adding this observation: The poster, bubba7...

    Systems which have the biggest drawdowns

    Even then, I noticed, breakout system may not take a full advantage from the run-up, thus losses from drawdown will not be recouped fully.... Unless you choose correct period for breakout (or correct moving average lenght). Longer periods seemed to work better for me, but they leave a lot of...

    My questions pertains to hedging in case of broker/exchange failures, not hedging as a style/routine.

    Hedging ESTX from US

    Shamelessly bringing this thread up. Periodically people show interest in ESTX, but hedging in case of various breakages in the process was never discussed. I image there are more than a few ESTX traders here, can you share your thoughts on this? Thanks!

    What good are we traders for?

    Take a look at scavengers in animal kingdom. Crows for example. Most of the people despise them. I saw one yesterday while having lunch at outdoor cafe. It was just sitting there fearlessly looking at me. I really wanted to shoot it:).... Yet, nature needs them as much as other more appealing...
