I was wondering if anyone has done research, building a trading stratergy around correlation analysis? Tradestation has a correlation indicator which plots the value of two markets/stocks as follows, but I am not sure what to do with it. Would anyone have any ideas or point me to...

same with tradestation, it won't store historical vwap, but you can easily write your own indicator and plot/backtest with it. Tradestation forum has many examples

I believe NASA funded his research to reach a different objective - to produce oxygen. What he did on his own was to reverse the process, but yeah I agree we the consumers have benefited greatly from NASA/state sponsered research. Everytime I use my teflon frying pan I thank NASA...

Bloomenergy certainly has big name blue chip clients - Google, Ebay, Walmart, Staples, Coca Cola...The venture firm that gave seed money to Netscape, Google etc has put in close to $400 million. I really hope they make it, for the sake of clean cheap energy.

Did anyone see this on 60 minutes? I am surprized more people are not talking about this, its impact on our dependence on big oil and mideast. http://www.bloomenergy.com/ There is link to the 60 minutes episode.

Does anyone know of a software which allows the user to capture and download on-line videos from youtube etc? Thanks.

Can you please give some examples of volatility and range type filters? In my mind, I always thought of adjusting a system to market direction - major uptrend, downtrend & sideways. But it doesn't seem to work, there are some other market characteristics at work that influence my system...

I have seen ads for systems that claim that their systems adapt to changing market conditions. What are these system designers doing? What are some ways to have your system adapt to changing market conditions? I am a intraday 100% mechanical system trader. My systems work for a while, then go...

Thank you all for your suggestions and comments. I tried installing TS on Windows 2003 server couple of years ago and ran into some errors. In another thread someone mentioned the following, they apparently offer windows XP. Would do you guys think of the following solution? One concern I...

Any Tradestation users here using dedicated or VPS server hosting? It appears most of the server hosting vendors only offer Windows 2003 server OS. As far as I know TS will only run on XP oe Vista. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Operating Systems See: TradeStation...

Sorry not related to trading, but none the less, great interview with Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies. For a man who is generally secretive and likes to avoid the press, this is a lengthier piece (1 hour) for those curious...

I am new to equities trading, I shorted a stock, in this case may have been a financial stock WFC(wells fargo bank). Couple of days later I received the following email from my broker(see below, starts with IMPORTANT REMINDER). I read through the following sec press release...

Interesting thread, describes my issue perfectly. Few years ago I left my Information technology job to trade full time. I am also a systemetic automated trader. I quickly discovered that trading from home, I was bored to tears within a few weeks. So I rented office space in Manhattan near...

I have used portfolio merge for a number of years and am quite happy with it. It is really easy to use and you can't beat the $220 price...I believe they have a free demo to download.

I wish I had that problem, that my stratergies are so good and profitable that my broker spies on me :) I think most trading stratergies have a lifespan of a year or less...

Thanks for a great discussion of ideas. My original intent was to somehow classify stocks/markets that trend more than others. So for example if I make a list of 300 actively traded stocks, somehow determine the top 10 which exhibit the greatest 'trendiness' intraday. The hope there is that...

Thank you all for your comments, good food for thought. One interesting idea by MGJ "Or you might be interested in "Profitable Trendiness" rather than just trendiness"

I guess this is a basic question but I haven't been able to find a good answere. How would I go about measuring 'trendiness' of a market or stock. For example Apple vs Microsoft, what would be a good way to measure which of the two historically trends more intraday? Two things that come to...

I don't why people think that after Musharraf nukes will 'automatically' fall into the hands of nutty islamist. Musharraf is now a civilian president, the Army has a chain of command in place, many brilliant (US trained) generals to safe guard the nukes. The nutty Islamist don't have the support...
