Here, look at this, the problem of not having enough money for everyone for retirement is solved. Somebody must have planned this: http://www.infoniac.com/health-fitness/life-expectancy-american-women-falls-significantly.html We need to do the same thing here in Canada. I notice whenever I...

I did try as best I could with manual testing to exit at a reversal and some other ideas. I found that exiting the end of the day worked best. I also tried using some fixed stops but that made it worse. With Easylanguage I could test it for a lot of different strategies until I found what worked...

That looks great Tums. I'll have to try the program in my Multicharts. It looks like there are multiple entries each day. I guess I didn't make it clear or specify that there should only be one entry per day, either the first long or short presented. Then it exits at the end of the day. With...

In the last month it would have worked great. I used it whenever I was home this month and took an IB simulated account from $10,000 to $100,000. You can't cheat with the simulated account. You can only take large risks trading a large number of contracts, something I'd not normally do with real...

Tradelink, thank you very much for your post, it gives me a good start. I really like the Tradelink program. I think the idea of making an open source charting/trading program is great. Are you the main person that made the program? I downloaded and tried Tradelink and it looked very good...

Yes, you're correct, I wasn't clear. How about, the high of a bar must be higher by at least one point than at least one of the bars before and at least one point higher than at least one of the closed bars after. Call that high, the high breakout point.

I have a trading method that works fairly well when I test it manually. I'm just starting to learn Easylanguage and hope to be able to program it sometime soon but it's too difficult for me yet as a beginner. If anyone more capable would like to give it a try I'd appreciate it. I'm just hoping...

If they did pass a transaction tax, I wonder what the tax would be for S&P futures, full size or emini? If it was only 20 cents a contract that would be no problem, but I wonder if it would be more than that?

I doubt that anyone in Canada who has any money or common sense would want to buy into the Amero. Why would Canadians want to combine currencies with the US that has trillions of dollars of debt all over the world? Canada is already in negotiations for a major trade partnership with Europe. I...

I think you're allowed one or two trades per day with less than $25,000. Why don't you just pick the best setup you see each day and only trade it? If you want to trade more than once per day, use a simulator, IB has a really good one.

Would a transaction tax apply only to Americans trading American equities? Would foreigners trading American equities be exempt? Would Americans trading foreign equities be exempt?

Questrade is cheaper for higher share amounts. 1 cent a share, $4.95 minimum up to $9.95 maximum.

Multicharts works fine but in the long run I'd prefer a Tradestation account. What if you just set up an account with Tradestation and used a mail forwarding service with an address in the Bahamas or something like that? Would that be a workaround for Canadians?

Does anyone know if the ebay seller of data is still around? Does anyone have an address or information for him?

I installed Office 2007 today on a computer. I tried it a year ago already and got rid of it quick. Now I had no choice, I needed more than the 65,000 rows available in Excel 2003. At least Microsoft got one thing right with this software, it matches the problems with Vista. The tool ribbon...

I was working with some historical futures data and I had to figure out the rollover dates. I made up the following table using a continuous calendar from this site: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/custom.html?year=2008&country=1&lang=en&moon=on&hol=25 2004 March 11, June 10, Sept 9, Dec...

Thanks very much for the information on how to import data, it helped a lot. Just curious, does anyone know the relationship between Multicharts and Tradestation? Is Multicharts part of the Tradestation company somehow or is it an independant company? The subscription or lifetime...

Maybe the Moms could give a lecture about their economic theories at the next Elite Trader Convention. Are they cute?

And what if the Bus Stop Moms start talking about American Idol again? Should we go long or short?

This settles the argument for me of who caused more problems, Clinton or Bush: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51342
