I tried to warn everyone, but all I got was Jack making snide comments towards me, the supposed "judge". I am not the mod for this forum so all I can do is suggest he take it elsewhere. I am not sure why asking to keep a thread on topic is such a problem. Then, when the thread gets off topic...

Yeah, I saw it too. I found it interesting that when they showed him the stack of books written about him or his investment philosophy he said that he didn't make any money off of them. I had thought that any book that used his name in the title would have had to have permission from him and...

Jack, you're just proving my point. When you have to divide your post into two, its not simple any longer. I did not criticize whether or not your methods work (I have no idea what you are even doing), only that they are not simple. I don't mean to speak for T28, but the point of this thread...

I don't know too many traders that fit this requirement, at least not all of the time... :D

It should be Florida, but as an Auburn fan I am hoping they get left out only for the purpose of an eventual end to the BcS. AU fans hate the system with a passion thanks to 2004 and we need more SEC fan bases in an uproar so our nut-less commissioner Mike Slive will grow some and try and end...

This is the absolute best advice you will get on this thread. The problem is that most people in your position will never take it because they think that there is no way they will lose money. If you choose to do it, just remember: family member 3 gives 100,000 - he was wealthy enough to...

If you are using IB, then all the programmer needs is the demo login to make sure the interface works. There shouldn't be any need to give them access to your actual account. If it were me, I would do all of the testing myself rather than depend on the programmer to run anything in realtime...

snarly, You should probably take those questions and start another thread with Jack. As big as this thread has become it has stayed surprisingly on-topic, but if you get Hershey started it will spiral out of control into an incomprehensible mess. I am not trying to be overly critical of JH...

LOL, I think he once pimped for wizetrade... old Joe, buying on green and selling on red! Definitely a legend, but probably not a trading legend.

I met Jim Rogers after a speech he gave in 2003 at a local university. He said two things that stand out in my mind: Oil would go to $100 a barrel soon (not 100 yet, but still more than doubled the $30 a barrel it was trading at the time. Even my wife, who couldn't care less about trading...

I've had a couple of pm's asking if the histogram style indicator that I posted for TradeStation was available for Esignal. I am definitely not an EFS expert, but I modified the default MACD indicator code and I think I got it right. You will need to make sure the chart background is black or...

Sure. First of all, I got rid of MACDDiff since that (the difference between MACD Signal Line and the MACD Moving Average) is not used. Here is my TS indicator in the attached text file. Set the properties of both MACD plots to histogram. I have hard coded the colors to simplify the setup...

I don't know of a free source, but Hquotes has been around for awhile and is a one time fee of around $60.

jychiu, its the signal line crossing zero rather than the MA. For anyone still having problems identifying the signals, if your software allows you to change the color and style of your MACD then you can make it easier to see. Just change the signal line and the MA to a histogram. Set the...

28 may jump in earlier on an intrabar cross based on his experience trading the method, but in a backtest you are only cheating yourself if you take the trade early since in realtime we don't know if there even was an intrabar cross and we don't know how the bar will eventually close. You will...

Also make sure you are marking the trades on the correct bar.

Not a valid cross, its under the zero line. sevenfirs, I think you are watching the histogram instead of the signal line for the zero cross...the histogram will cross zero every time the lines cross since that is what it is measuring (the difference between them)...you want signal line...

Here is your chart with the entries.

I think age is irrelevant, more important would be your ability to focus all day staring at the screen. How long you can (or want) to do that will vary from person to person. With that said, at 54, if you can only put up $10k and live without an income for a few months then I would say...

All trades with a retail dealing desk (mini, regular or multi-million) will be handled in-house initially. The only difference will be in what they do with that position afterwards. If you trade size, then the liklihood of a broker offsetting their risk to an outside source is higher. Also...
