which pornsites do you like the most?

yes, definitely know some goo literature. Unfortunately not much good though.

Thanks spearhead, yes its sanity-check. After some trial and error I got it working now on the API with excel and some VBA.

That is what we are trying to accomplish here

hmm.. I see, I guess if there is some problem with the feed the alarm would malfunction. Next gonna look up the api because I am trying to make it as simple as possible.

downloaded and installed tradelink. lol @requestcapital button Thank you for this sample piece of code you posted. Would it check the pnl from IB as IB calculates it, or calculate it on running strategies in tradelink?

Thanks! Gonna check up on both tradelink and the IB API.

Hi, Does anyone know of a program that can be used to check IB account value and alert if above or below a certain treshold? Situation is that I trade automated using IB TWS and Multicharts version 6. The less I check in on the trading during the day the better, I only check up on it to...

Multicharts already much better since can test on bid&ask. And a PF 1.2 strategy I dont consider developable. Sorry, I dont have anything constructive to add.

It is a random process but you know that over the long run it will be close to 50/50. You also know that the probability to be furthest from 50/50 is at the middle and highest probability to be closest to 50/50 is at the start or end of the series of tosses. Using this information you could...

Not everyone is trading the same instruments as you. This thread is obviously not for a vendor like you who is relying on selling services instead of making profits from trading. I will ignore you from now on.

btw. if someone wants to exchange ideas privately i am interested if it could be mutually beneficial. Im mostly focusing on mean reversion strategies.

ok thanks, i now understand this about likelyhood DD exceeds historical as sample increases. If you wait long enough, also the very unlikely will happen. On the positive side at the same time the law of averages start to apply. But the DD for sure is dangerous, especially when sizing up. Also...

hehe... I think I want to feel like I am doing something useful. At least before I have made some serious moula it somehow just doesnt feel right to sleep during the day:)

A system has an edge and needs a certain number of trades to reach a certain profit. With regards to DD it should not make a difference if this number of trades is taken in a short or long time interval? ie. how quickly it makes this number of trades. There must be something I am missing.

Hi, Thanks for your post. When you say more trades equal larger DD you mean more trades in a specified timeperiod? The underlying reasons I dont quite comprehend. If there is an edge and you get to apply that edge more often, the strategy makes more. More trades also allow you to compound...

Hi! This post is intended for those that have one or more strategies making enough trades and providing some profit. After I got my first strategy live and making profits, it seems most weeks, I find it extremely hard to motivate myself to add strategies or improve the existing one, until...

Why would not someone who writes this good strategies trade them themselves instead of entering competitions?

could this be from lag in one of the numbers?

Hi, How can I in Multicharts save data 365 days back? IB provides data only 365 days back. Tomorrow the accessible data has moved one day forward again and one more day will not be available so I would like to save it but it doesnt get saved automatically like in NT. Thanks for any tips!
