And don't be so annoying.

In the case of a good system based on a true edge that will put the odds in your favor on the long term, it is true. I know a guy that has released his system just the way Frosty did( DD at first ) in Fall 2005 and his system is still working and making money to date. Sometimes, series of losses...

I agree with everybody saying that stops in trading systems do not really add to the model. Most of the time, the bot is designed to revert when the conditions are not here anymore.Something that can be done is to set a really wide stop for extremely unusual events. In this case, it seems(...

What make you believe he has an edge? I made one of my best performing year when I began. I didn't know anything about trading. I was just buying in a bull market and holding til positions became profitable. If he knows he has a real edge, with numerous trades, solid bases... he can continue...

Thanks for sharing. I'm about to move from TradeStation to IB and watch for the best platform to automate my current systems. I also don't have the time to learn to program since I'm not professional. I know a little bit of VB but whenever i see a complete VB system, I think it would require...

I'm also interested in this thread, but my questions are more on automating with excel than testing. Does someone use excel to trade multiple systems( not one single system on a portfolio )? How reliable it is compared to TS? What are the limitations? Can you handle second intervals?Can you...

I assume this spread order matching is only for calendars. Is there such rules for intermarket spreads? On CME price banding, it seems that only calendar spreads are in the list whereas on CBOT , different interest rates ( 5,10,30 year ) are in the same section so I don't know if it applies to a...

Really interesting FuturesTrader71, I didn't know those things on reducing/increasing size and calendar spreads. It's definitely useful for those trading calendars spreads.I believe you are talking about spread orders like TT's autospreader are offering, is there other software that provides...

I don't know exactly what the problems are and if it is due to his specific needs, but I know he uses one low frequency single system on a stock portfolio and he is constantly having troubles as he is not professional and lets his system run while at work( like me ). Using TS, depending on...

Hello, I'm a TS customer interested in moving to IB for market access, fees, single account.... I know a little bit of VB so I would like to program my current trading systems before moving so I can directly debug and trade.I'm looking forward to using IB datas. I don't want to use excel...

Urea only

On my tests, it reduces DD and profits. Overall ROA is improved.

I don't get quotes for ER2 and EMD. Any TS users? Thanks

I think people are a bit too hard with Frosty. What is a 3000 $ DD on an ER2 system? nothing... I had a 7000$ one before shutting the system just to see the bot climbing back and making new highs.... When you are trading an ER2 trend following system, any tests that shows lower than a...

I've been testing an idea lately and I would like some feedbacks if someone is using the same kind of approach. Let's say you have 3 different decent systems on a single instrument. It's commonly accepted that trading multiple systems on a single instrument is quite a good approach as...

What were you thinking ??? 3 lots with 1500 $....How long did you survive doing this? I think it is quite a good performance if you lasted more than 2 weeks.

Cause we will probably have to see 1 or 2 crashes in our trading lives that can make the difference between a profitable trader and a profitable trader gone broke. Off course, it is better to focus on "normal" trading conditions but you have to take the possibility of a crash into account.

Wow, tough start:(

When will it move( if someone knows )???

Oh no... I'm on TS, which doesn't provide access to ICE... I will have to stop some of my systems if it's true.:mad:
