Scataphagos, Got it. Thank you, Larry

...How can I find a list of inverted Equity ETFs or other assets? Maybe use VettaFi, but I did not see how to do it... Never mind, I see how to do this in VettaFi using Attributes. Thanks, Larry

D08, It was not obvious to me, but in hindsight it should have been. These are brand new strategies so live trading with $$$ shows flaws in my system logic that I did not account for. For my analysis on my trading system, much of the profits are from much lower asset prices that I am unwilling...

I was trying to figure out the variance between my trading system stated APR on live trading and my actual results in live trading. To me, I thought I should be getting similar APR results when going live. This past year, I have been using a a main dataset. However, I could not figure out why...

Sun, Preferably code for Wealthlab, but I was asking for pseudo code in English. So I can understand how I can strategize what I see visually. Thank you, Larry

Here is a comparison of two assets (the Dollar and Gold). I added Bollinger Bands around both assets and have added a factor so I can plot both charts on the same chart. For me, I can see the pairs trading by visually seeing that maybe the spread will grow. What I am asking is how would I...

I back test everything I do. Recently, the concept from an old seminar, mentioned the "training period". I like that concept to think of it, as that is where my original concept would be tested and optimized. Then, I could go forward with dates to see how it performed in the future. Previously...

I think a related question is "what is your definition of a professional trader". Years ago, I was an independent trader and only made mediocre money. I realized short term trading was not for me. I did develop several longer term strategies and traded one strategy for 19 years. Recently, I...

Traders, Thank you for your feedback. Larry

Do any traders have experience either trading the equity curve, or back testing this? On several of the strategies I have tested, my back testing has produced dismal results in testing.

I have listened to an old seminar that touted trading on the equity curve. When I backtest my systems, I am not getting good results with this. However, the promise of what this technique can do, is very enticing. For me, the magic would be able to refrain from trading systems that are not...

Richard, Thank you for the info. Larry

I trade for myself. I want to periodically hire a programmer for Wealthlab strategies. There are times when I need help on existing strategies that are not working right, or ideas I want to have assistance. If you already have Wealthlab and want to contact me, please do so at...

Traders, Thank you for the many posts for feedback. Much appreciated. - Larry

Robert and S Trader, Thank you for the info. Larry

I am keeping track of my realized and unrealized gains and losses for trading a portfolio. I keep an excel to track the following: So I was wondering if there is an accounting term for adding up these values. I am referring to the item I call "Total": Realized Gain/Loss...

I use iPhone Yahoo Finance. Please note: I do not want to link to my broker with Yahoo finance. I want to add a dummy loss to my holdings so that not only am I monitoring the current gain/loss but also including a lost transaction that no longer is current. So make believe, the current gain...

Long winded response... lol Traders, You gave me a lot to think about... Here is some feedback. You can kill me if you like? LOL Mark Brown Questions: "What platform? most back testing software is a scam and makes assumptions to render the best results in a back test." I am using...
