So little about my trading style. Right now I trade off daily charts, it fits my schedule and style. To be honest day trading doesn't have much interest to me. I find it hard to make sense of the charts and direction of the market. Maybe as I get some more trades under the belt it'd be...

Welcome to the struggle. I've been slowly learning AFL and quite enjoy it. It's as easy or complex as you want it to be. For my needs it seems like a perfect solution compared to Python or R. Just having a lot of functions built in and knowing their solid is great. I couldn't imagine making my...

I'm not sure of your provider but I use IQFeed and the session options in options will not effect this. My intraday database asks for 100000 1 minute bars and Amibroker doesn't filter the bars it receives. I can go into options at any point and allow night session or morning session as I...

The EOD is a reasonable entry, but the exit seems illogical. How can one know what the average of the day will be without waiting till the end of day. I'd atleast use MOC to enter and exit or MOO if you plan on simulating entries you find in the evening.

Id start with cleaning it out first. Could be clogged up wth dust and fan working harder to try and cool it. Driver update also.

http://adamhgrimes.com/TAAS/about-the-course/ That has given me a good foundation to work of. Covers many topics. Is suggest to actually work at it, don't skip to just the patterns. His book was also great. His podcast has some good material "market life" and his blogs pretty active with...

I've read this a few times in other places. One thing I've strayed doing is trying to build systems and strategies with a defined sell signal or cover signal instead of a fixed stop level. One author(can't remember) made a good suggestion in my mind. If we can take the time to create a entry...

Not sure if it'll fit your needs and your coding experience. I'm an amateur myself and struggling learner, but I think Amibroker could fit most your needs, but could be a lot of work to learn and maybe theirs a better software out there. Question 1: Theirs a few links I found that I read...

Rmorse is completely correct. Learning to trade is difficult enough without putting yourself in a position where your account can't handle the risk. I myself, about 6 months in, am prepared to allow 3-5 years to become a trader. My approach is swing trading off daily charts as I work full time...

Thank you for the response. Makes perfect sense.

So this isn't a topic I expect to help my trading but I like to fill my head sometimes with what I call useless information. Something that has crossed my mind a few times is exactly how do ETFs' work. Lets take mutual funds for a quick reference. From my understanding, the value of a fund is...

If you can find a way to make it work with your system then I'm all for it. This a topic I heard in a podcast from Adam Grimes, " trade management and trade offs". The reverse pyramid does have some issues. First I'm assuming your looking at getting into a trend with this idea. The issue is...

I'm not sure what your using for charting, but most charting programs calculate indicators off bars, not days. I myself when using a weekly chart and daily chart, use the same settings for bars look back for both. Their is never an ideal and it's all based off how your using them and why...

The index constituent is going to be the hardest to find. I haven't seen any reliable / retail affordable options besides using Norgate Premium Data with Amibroker. I personally don't use it and use IQFeed with amibroker but I know quite a few use Premium Data and their alpha program has a index...

He mentioned at the end of the interview the issues with being on social media is people calling out every call you make. Like people pointing out his calls and how they were wrong but he mentions he was probably out of the trade before everyone pointed out his call. He says in the interview...

I think it depends on how the brokerage clears the trades. Trading through TD Direct Investing ( Canadian) as a Canadian, I'm not restricted by the PDT rule. Theirs also no free riding where cash has to be settled. It has to be in the account but they allow me to use unsettled funds to make new...

Just a piece of advice. I wouldn't be caught advertising penny stocks on the Internet. I'm no lawyer or expert on SEC laws but the last thing you want is the SEC knocking on your door and getting involved in a pump and dump investigation. It's happened before.

Amibroker can but that will require a one time users licence fee. Think you'd need the professional( worth it anyways). Think it's like 349$ now for w lifetime licence and 2 years of upgrades. As far as free. I've never seen too many chart packages that had customizable data entry for free...

Yah, I personally only use keltner bands to help visualize price moves and swing sizes but this is the type of indicator that can fall into into this trap.

Hey Buck95, sent you a private message, didn't want to get way off topic on here.
