eod is all I've worked with up to this point. I've never traded intraday thanks for the info.

byteme, that is a very cool formula. I've used Excel in my work everyday for about 15 yrs and have never come across this function and it's usage. Very cool formula. I attached a sample. Thanks for sharing the formula.

Intradaybill, thanks so much for the links. I have books on the way Do you also use similar position sizing strategy in your longer-term accts (if you have them)? I've never heard much about position sizing outside of trading forums. The most I've seen is get about 15-20 stocks spread...

It's cheap on Amazon used. It's called 1 "Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom" Van K. Tharp

No forex. I have no understanding of those markets. that's essentially why I'm posting regarding alternatives that aren't dead ends wrt automation. It seems like Tradestation is where I will likely end up, but checking other possible alternatives. I've read enough here on ET to know that...

thanks bstay, Yeah, once I'm up and running I don't have issue with the 5000 shr/mo requirement. I just looked at another account I have at Zecco in the past 30 days I traded 2700shr without any automated program and using longer holding times, so 5000 shr seems not that difficult once a...

thanks for the links on money management. lescor on another thread also recommends Van Tharpe's book. I have it on the way in the mail.

Hi, I'm interested in beginning to learn automated trading and it seems like Tradestation is a painfree/popular way to go. I'll be looking to trade equities. My concern as I look through fees is that I am just starting out w/ automated trading and currently don't have systems to trade, and...

Lescor, wanted to let you know I've enjoyed this thread and gained a new perspective on what is possible. Question if you had time: On days that you have a bad trade you often will mention that you spend much of the day digging yourself out of a hole. I was wondering how those battles bear...

If our government understood and used capital a little more like Warren we'd ALL be better off. They'd do good to listen to him.

I encourage you to study the loss history of loans before loaning cash and read history of some lenders. I tried about 15 loans or so over there and think I probably broke about even or lost a bit. I understand they redid their credit algorithm and might be stricter on application now, so...

I read about the first 55 pages of this thread.... No idea why. Here's about all I can gather: It seems it's obvious that the Price moves, but it's not obvious why the price moves. You go to Wal-Mart and you can buy something all day long at the same price. Why is there a different...

Hi, I'm trying to find ability to do inverted price charts online. (ability to flip the price chart so the high prices are plotted low and low prices are plotted high). I use freestockcharts.com and bigcharts.com but can't seem to find this. Any pointers appreciated.

I don't think I know enough about the software to answer your questions. Still trying to figure out what it's doing. - The few initial runs I've used included about 10-12 input fields - The program modifies some of the parameters as it sees fit as it's running, but the current run has a...

This is the manual http://www.aimlearning.com/Discipulus%20Owners%20Manual.pdf page 25 of the PDF (page #11 in the manual)

PM me for my email address. If you can email me your xls sheet with about 5 days of data I can put some calcs in to extract the data. I think it'll take a few columns of calcs to extract.

This is my first set of data I'm running through the program. Just seeing how it works and learning the options. It's daily SPY data back through mid 1993, about 3400 observations in total. Broken into thirds for the training, validation, and applied datasets. (applied is the last third...

HI All, I've lurked here for several weeks. This is my first post. I have a question regarding modeling time series data and the suggested steps in the manual (Discipulus software) mention that I for the training and validation data sets I should "Take the first two-thirds of your...
