Elindydotcom, Thank you very much for the time you have taken to post your observations. Much appreciated !

Christmas is great! Family...friends...parties! A wonderful time of year. Downside...Markets closed :( Guess I am a market junkie :D

Mr. Minty, Pick up Amibroker EOD for $129 bucks (one time fee). It can backtest against a portfolio and give portfolio performance as well as complete backtesting results, trade by trade, profit/loss charts etc... It will also handle any data format you throw at it, so instead of using...

Just did the demo on the Matrix order platform...blew me away! If anyone is interested in seeing the Tradestation demo's, go to tradestation.com and in the top right of your screen click on site map. That is the fastest way to find the numerous demo movies, any item with a speaker next to it.

Mr. Minty, Thank you for your comments. Regarding backtesting, are you saying that on Tradestation you cannot backtest a specific trading formula against a list of say 100 stocks to acertain which stock responds with the highest return on that formula? Is it possible to run your formula...

I agree fully. Find another job. Start swingtrading part time using a strategy and strict money management techniques. Prove to yourself that you can generate 10-20% per month in profit consistantly (1-2 years). Then and only then, make your decision on trading full time. Collecting...

Sarasota, I am looking for a streamlined trading platform as I travel often and trade off my laptop in hotel rooms. Using ensign with a data vendor and a second party plug in to AUTOTRADE on Interactive brokers etc..etc.. I'm glad you like it, don't think it would be workable for me. I am...

I don't believe I can auto trade with those programs, and would not have the ability to backfill intraday charts, when I have been away for a couple of days. It would basically be the same as I have now with IB fed into Quotetracker. Thanks, but please NO Newbies! Experienced traders know...

Thanks but you didn't answer any of my questions.

Hello, I have 25 years trading experience, the past 8 years quite active. I trade EOD, 2 - 10 days, Nasdaq stocks, primarily tech's-semi's. The past 2 years I have been using mechanical trading systems (my own) with good results. I get frustrated swing trading in a range as we are...

If through some method you are able to turn $850 into $10 grand in a short amount of time, that trading strategy will surely cause you to go bust, in half the amount of time. A goal of 15-20% per month with strict money management is achievable. Regards

When we got the two sons, no rally. When we conquered Bagdad and pulled down the statue, markets sold off. Rally or not? Where is Bin Laden?

LOL, nope. Just an 'ol fart that has been around the block (been trading for about 25 years), and have seen exhausted rallies before. I trade from my home, part time. I use mechanical trading systems (for signals) and common sense. Now, volume is pretty average to the downside, buyers on...

Romeo, I don't have time to read through the entire thread, however, I was one that agreed with you, and stated such very early on in this thread (or is this a new one?). Anyways, I did see the markets rolling over, indicators making lower highs while markets made higher highs. I want you to...

Why spread yourself thin trading unfamiliar instruments? You are "starting" to do well, so refine your systems and methods and do better. Some traders make their living with 1 or 2 stocks. It is not the diversity of trading instruments nor the frequency of trading that counts, its the net...

Perhaps the American tourists are trying to be polite by trying to speak Spanish? If they spoke English without trying to speak Spanish they would be considered arrogant. Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

I agree Spain might be up there on the list of desirable places, however you said "They work to live not live to work" Traders Live to trade (at least the good ones do), How will a true trader mentality cope with such a laid back society? Would it be difficult to socialize and bond with the...

No kidding, I don't see Americans lined up at Costa Rican hospitals for triple bypasses. Gimme a break That list is so full of crap it makes me think of the totally useless United Nations (useless politicians at the trough at our expense) The United States is one of the few countries...
