Does Excel have a place in such a set-up? Or is everything (spreadsheet analysis/sorting of data) done in Access?

In short, I have my data stored in SQL and load it into Excel which is used as a front end for final analysis. Basically, a lot of stuff is computed in C#, stored in SQL and then loaded into Excel. I'm having minor issues - particularly since I'm updating intraday (either automatically or by...

Does that not depend on the nature of the work? Nice. You used Python for automated trading?

So many great replies. Unsurprisingly - some discussion and disagreements as well. I'm not qualified to engage in that one, so I'll stay on the sidelines there. Thanks, guys! :)

Hi all, The question is basically in the header. In summary, I don't know much about programming, but do of course understanding basic logic and programming concepts. I have Excel workbooks that are loaded with cool VBA/macros which I use on a daily basis. Most of it is written by others...

Okay - I'm a bit behind on the visual backtest. That stuff is time consuming. But I will rigorously work through it eventually. I am however running a few statistical test and I'm getting probabilities that are 75 % +. So I'm sure something interesting can be found. I was about to reveal a...

As for the High/Low lines or the actually 30 minute OR - it does not seem to be very significant. At least not if you want precision.

Hi all, A bit behind on this... But if you plot these - surely you must have some experience with these levels...? :) What I'm noticing so far is that the midpoint on the 30 minute range seems to have some significance and is a price point the market typically reverts back to. ES is a market...

Cool. I can imagine the movie being better than the book. Hell, it may even be the edition of my book that was poorly organized (hardly any paragraphs) and thus impacting the reading experience. I thought it was a cool story/insights and had some legendary characters. I just felt it was a bit...

Thank you for your informative comment, wrbtrader. Maybe this is how it is then? I've had days far worse than this though. There have been days where I had < 20 trades, but Ninja reported 30 trades. It does skew win % statistics also. Haven't looked very much into it, but my % yesterday was 1...

Hi, wrbtrader Yesterday, I traded 3 lots on all my trades. Here's a picture of the trade report in Ninja. As you can see, the 1st trade is shown as 1 trade (3 contracts). However, the next 2 trades are split up. Trade 2 and 3 should be trade 2; Trade 3 and 4 should be trade 3. The red...

Any news? How do you export your trades to Tradervue? I have a trading log which works fine for my daily market studies/statistics. But logging my trades is still painful. I have two main problems: 1) I'm an all in/all out trader and trade anything from 3-10 lots at the time being...

Good stuff, guys. I finished Liar's Poker. Overall a good read, but having heard so much about it I was slightly disappointed. It was in no way a page turner. Are the other books by Lewis worth reading?

I chart RTH data. SPX/SPY still have regular trading hours from 09:30-16:00, yes? ES would not be any different. Yesterday's closing price at 16:00 is still a highly significant level. The same with the daily open. High/low prices are less significant, IME, but still worth paying attention...

Most certainly. IMO, the most recent past is what matters, not what worked a decade ago. But sure, I wouldn't mind using something that worked a decade ago and still works today.

Allright. A lot may have happened in a decade though.

Thank you for your post. You've backtested this yourself on the ES?

Hi, I'm starting a back-test of the opening range on the e-mini s&p 500 tonight. Curious if anyone is using this and find it useful? If yes, what time values are you using for the opening range? Popular values according to trading literature seems to be 30, 60 and 90 minutes (also known as the...

Care to elaborate? Do you live there yourself or have you lived there? I just googled it briefly and the cost of living seems decent, but I'll admit that there are other options which seems more attractive. But that's based on my very limited knowledge of the island. Would be curious to hear...

Still considering this assuming I can find something that's cheaper than my current living expenses in Norway - which should not be that hard. I checked out a few apartments in Las Palmas Gran Canaria and it looked like I could get a decent place of living at affordable rates. The only thing...
