Gpzany, On the previous page, there is a post outlining that return on capital for Journal 1 was 113%. If you look up Journal 1, Spyder also posted all his trades in an Excel spreadsheet. A few pages ago, I posted a spreadsheet where I had 'hand backtested' an automation script for the...

Anyone else retiring BOOM due to no longer holding rank? There are a few more that currently don't have rank, such as CERS, but only lost it in the past 3 - 4 days. As such, I'm keeping them in the universe until they lose rank for a couple of weeks. A good case in point is FORD. It lost...

Thanks 4X. From my understanding stocks remain in the universe until they fail to maintain 'rank', regardless of any other changes. If you look at BOOM, I've culled that from my universe because it no longer has a rank.

Thanks for the validation Spyder. It's an interesting question as to whether to filter out the gaps. I know in the original journal you filtered out trades where the stock gapped >5%. REDF fell within this 5% level. You're correct that I don't have a 'gap checker' in the code and it is on...

Just trying to confrim my auto-scripts. REDF this morning appeared to be a valid signal, albeit a losing one. Between 9.30 & 10, MACD > 0, Stoch > 80 and at 10.00am I have cumulative volume at approx 260,000. This was greater than the lower band calculation from the chartscript (I...

Think I've figured out my last problem. Error in my code (I think) which REALLY re-inforces you need to test everything before launching into production. Anyway, I've attached my latest version of the intraday / auto-trading code if anyone is interested. Aslo had a couple of PM's...

I was in ENER from yesterday, but got taken out today at 45.06 in pre-market trading. This was my I REALLY want to understand why, thank goodness I'm auto papertrading at the moment (to think I was going to go live yesterday).. Also happened to my NTRI position at 38.81

4X, Found the problem. The filter line is a hangover from when I was playing with ASX Stocks. Change: Filter = rank > 0 AND C > 1 AND EMA(V,65) > 50000;//IIf(FilterType,inDu,Rank >0);// AND (JDU1 OR JDU2 OR JDU3 OR JDU4); to: Filter = IIf(FilterType,inDu,Rank >0); or simply Filter...

4X, Check that in when you explore that your timeframe is set to daily in automatic analysis as well. Screen shot of my exploration below. Sorry for the dodgy image, tried 4 different formats and it still didn't work properly... <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img...

A couple of people have asked if I could post the Amibroker setup I use. Attached are the 4 files. Hershey Complete.afl An EOD file that plots, rank and score. Similar to the wealth-lab version 3.0 script that SpyderTrader created. Stoch & MACD files. While these are titled '1...

Missed out on MTEX this morning, my stochastic only got to 77.24 before the breakout... such is trading. Automatically entered ENG at 11.09. Stopped out at an average of 10.85 (2% loss). Exited BTUI at 14.55 this morning due to failing to reach FRV the previous day (entry was at 13.96...

Ace, Thanks for that. Here's mine. I've added a few comments, etc. and removed some redundant lines. cnms2, I tend to agree. However, if there was a system to get more aggressive on, based on old data, this would be getting towards it. From memory, Spyder's Journal 1 had a > 70% win...

From the Money Management Report. The 80% figure is the TOTAL portfolio risk, not for an individual trade. Text from the relevant section is pasted below. "..However, if you have a system that is right 50% of the time, you can easily be wrong 10 or even 20 times in a row during a large...

Hi Ace, Thanks for the feedback. I agree regarding the dollar amounts and was using the spreadsheet to track individual trades. I'll clean up and comment the code before posting. I had two trades trigger last night, GROW and BTUI. I got an auto fill on BTUI, but for some reason GROW...

My Dry Up for today is BTUI, CTHR, ENG, FORD, GROW, NGAS, REDF, VPHM.

Sorry for the delay in replying about automating the system (public holiday here in Victoria, Australia). I am automating the entries, not the entire strategy. The U.S trading day runs from 01.30am to 8.00am currently (due to daylight savings), so I can see the end of the day, but not the...

No problems at all. I'm trying to automate the entry into positions, since it is difficult to watch the markets during the day from Australia. I'm having some initial success and would be happy to share my results if anyone is interested. I'm using Amibroker and IB.

I have NSSC avg daily volume at 109,100 which is below the 200k minimum. Does this match your data?

Interesting about the Wealth-Lab script not having BOOM as ranked. Attached is the screenshot from my Amibroker interpretation of the ranking script <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6340/boomrank6sc.png" border="0" width="763" alt="Image Hosted...

Todays trades Purch BOOM @ 31.20. Exit NDAQ @ 39.60 (loss 0.40 per share)
