I know your question was "if you wanted to write your own program" but I'd offer up that AmiBroker should be able to handle what you want. If you want to see all stocks that go up on Monday, go down on Friday, go up on Monday by x% on x volume, etc. you can build your own criteria and...

Hey... I'll have to keep my eyes out for her... I live in Bryn Mawr.

Per this page, the requirements are $5K min for non day traders and $30K for pattern day traders... http://www.tradestation.com/fees/stock_margin.shtm When you calculate your costs, 2 things to consider... (1) I think you'll really want/need their Radarscreen product and this is $60...

A friend and I went live with an automated system starting in October so I'm about 6 weeks in at this point. There were many things we learned that were different in"real life" as opposed to papertrading since we are trading equities right now. We have gone back and forth on the issue...

Journeyman: First, my suggestion is to check out the AmiBroker message board on yahoo. there are tons of messages about data, providers, etc. just use the search function. Second, I can tell you my experience w/ mixed database has been w/ Esignal. As Tomacz points out above in his...

I maintain 2 databases in AmiBroker. First I have and end of day (EOD) database that I maintain for 8000+ stocks that I download at end of day free from Yahoo with the AmiQuote utility they provide. I have also considered TeleChart for this since their data is scrubbed more than Yahoo...

You can use amibroker in this manner but only w/ an esignal datafeed. for some reason it's the only data feed that supports a mixed database, which I use.

thanks for the info on qcharts

Spydertrader: My recollection is that you use Qcharts. I need a new data provider that works with my platform (AmiBroker) and to watch a ton of tickers Esignal is too expensive. I've tried IQFeed but havn't liked it for various reasons. How have you found working w/ Qcharts. I've...

I have bought only dells for home and business for 10+ years. I just ordered a relative 2 HP machines; a desktop and a laptop. They came in a bit cheaper for the same configuration And I have not been happy dealing w/ dell customer service for the last few years. Also, I found this in...

Never able to log in on Saturdays. I havn't had any problems on Sunday but I'm not sure what time.

Who was bitching? You havn't seen me bitch....

Nice note, Esignal. How about showing customers that you do care by stepping up and offering customers a refund for the day they were out of business even though for many traders it may be only a portion of what they lost by not being in play? Personally I have one esignal feed and one iq...

me too

Unfortunately, both your RS and EPS approaches are incorrect. RSI is the stocks strength against itself for a period of time. This is different from the RS (Relative Strength) that is used by STocktables and Investor Business Daily. From stocktables: "This powerful screen...

Spyder: Thanks for the explanation on your Bruno R entry. I appreciate the time you took coming up w/ the answer. Very informative. Mike

Spyder: One question (as I mentioned above I've been away for a bit but now I'm back). I understand what to look for in terms of finding the Bruno R list. My question is: I'm very comfortable w/ the intraday entry strategies of the dry up list. Is your entry criteria during the day...

Spyder: After quite a bit of posting activity late last year I've been quiet lately as I've been travelling and have had to take a "hands off" approach for the last month or so. Nevertheless, I've continued to follow the journal and your results and what you and Jack (and others) have...

The realtime version of AmiBroker (< $300) includes an Interactive Brokers realtime plugin for trading. There are a number of people that use it and I am now paper trading using a fully automtated a trading application(stocks and options) that trades based on programmed signals in AmiBroker...

I am exactly in the same boat as the original poster to this thread. I have about 10 to 20 scans that I've programmed into AmiBroker that I run ever night; I look for stocks crossing their 200 day moving average (or close), stocks breaking out, stocks with unusual volume, etc. and I use that...
