sluggworth, Here you go, look down the bottom of this page: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54765&perpage=6&pagenumber=18 I'm thinking of buying it too, so please let me know what you think of it. (Unfortunately, it doesn't handle intra-day backtests, which would...

andrasnm, If you don't mind me asking, I have a couple of questions: 1) How did you get word out that you were a trader's coach? 2) When they asked the inevitable question of what you could do for them, what did you say? Richard

vhehn, I also have been using Qcharts but have been thinking to go over to Tradestation. My my main use would be for futures. Can you recommend TS over Qcharts, as a charting package? By the way, can one download futures data in ASCII (plain text)format from TS (like i'm now doing with...

Of topic but: Did you see the rankings? Of course we all know Kobayashi is unbeatable, but check our who is in second position, a woman who looks like she's anorexic. Richard

It works for me. Richard

If I could just piggy-back on this thread: Once you have a strategy coded, how realiable is it to autotrade it at Tradestation securities with minimal (read: no) supervision? I'm specifically refering to a daytrading strategy which trades futures of one of the major US stock indicies, e,g...

No problems here.

Choad, Any chance of posting the WL code? Thanks. Richard

Travis, Which stock index future are you trading? It sounds like you haven't done any backtesting of your strategy? 15 trades/day sounds like a lot. Is slippage an issue or is profitability enough even with slippage? Richard

Mercurial, Nice going! You show a TS performance summary (a la system performance summary); are you autotrading? Richard

Kastro_316, You can approach this many different ways, depending on what you really want to do. As a "greenie", rather than "rolling my own" which could readily be done if you're a programmer using say, the IB API, I would take a survey of what is currently available and see what features...

It was a typo, he really meant Mbrx. In which case, good job!

Runningbear, As a former Sydney-ite, I'm interested to know where you're getting your statistics from. Richard

FYI: Just saw technical analyst Richard Morrish on CNBC Europe. His prediction is that the Dow will move 10%-20% in the next week or two. He was pressed by the interviewer if this is an up or down move to which he responded that he didn't really know, as the problem is that the markets are not...

Tony, See page 200 of "Trade your way to financial freedom" by Van K. Tharp. Richard
