    Disillusioned

    I may have mislead you a bit with the Tai Chi analogy.I was actually attempting to illustrate that people filter out what they may or may not want to hear... Here is my point..We all have a set of beliefs as to what should and shouldnt work..For some of us it is the mystical Elliot...

    Disillusioned

    Bert, If I may offer you some very simple advice,it is to stop bullshitting around with chart patterens,technical indicators,candlesticks and god knows what else..The answer is much simpler,and you have already discovered the most important part,but the inner seeker in all of us wont let...

    Portfolio/trading analysis software

    Hi Higgs, I am with you and share your thoughts regarding the VB-like language.I am a "non programmer" trader and have purchased Traders Studio to enable me to fully test the systems and incorporate position sizing algorithms that I had develped in AIQ. I do admit the learning curve for...

    George,i have no problem reading....Its you who have the problem of not being clever enough to hide your hidden agenda.. You like Blox?? Step up to the plate and shell out the $3,000.... That wont do it for you?? Step up to the plate and spend $25,000 on Mechanica.... They are both fine...

    Portfolio/trading analysis software

    Good old George....If I may quote you "When Traders Studio goes realtime I'll probably buy it if it is fast enough and see if it can do what I want, otherwise I'll have to keep using my stuff and wait until Trading Blox or some other product can do what I want" So let me see if I get this...

    Portfolio/trading analysis software

    George,it appears you enjoy belittling other peoples efforts as its not the first time you have ranted on for no apparant reason.I dont know what your agenda is,but it is getting old and increasingly apparant as to your motives I have friends who use Blox as well as TradersStudio,and they are...

    Portfolio/trading analysis software

    take a look at TradersStudio..IMHO,its the best system tester/backtester out there.Most important,the customer support is really good and you can either "chat live" or speak to technical support. I also prefer the TradersStudio programming language to Ami and the others I have used

    With the right data vendor,can Neo EOD database be set up in a Sector/Industry/Stock format? I know QP3 automatically can set up ones files in that structure. If Neo can do that,would it be possible to then create a custom index(simple index) at the sector level so one can do realtive srength...

    Tradestation credit interest rate

    I purchased Traders Studio 3 weeks ago,and have to say their technical support is excellent.As i am a beginning programmer,I had many questions regarding the language and how to code,and not only was tech support extremely patient,but Murray got involved and went out of his way to assist me.

    Tradestation credit interest rate

    Why anyone would continue to use TradeStation and put up with their financing BS is Beyond me...They are loan sharks masquerading as a trading platform..... Just remember,there are no victims,there are only volunteers.. I switched over to TradersStudio and am still in the testing phase,but...

    Anyone else think Elliot Wave is a bunch of hooey?

    To all those who truly believe in the elliot wave,call up any of the sotware vendors who peddle the Elliot wave and ask them why they refuse to put in a simple backtester or a way to enter trades and account for the P&L... I hhad asked the folks at GET for years for that,and as much as they...

    Always assume 100% loss for long?

    may i suggest adding a filter to your entry?? entry price=entry-stop% sounds like you have discovered the perfect entry...:) on your backtests,what % of your trades are stopped out? If you remove the stop,does your % of winning trades go up? does your max trade profit increase...

    Always assume 100% loss for long?

    precisely..but thats not the risk..anyone who trade based on stopping themselves down x percent or 2xATR has the very same risk that the option trader who suffers a 95% premium loss for a 10% move.Simply said,just like the "cash" trader who assumes that he can stop himself out down x%,so must...

    Always assume 100% loss for long?

    It certainly is the most conservative,thats for sure.But why would you approach it so radically different than you would a stock?? Why not size it as a percent of equity and equate a stop value relative to $ value of an ATR stop on the underlying equity?? You will need to make an...
