    Intraday Indicators

    I agree with this. I use an Intraday MACD (10 minute chart) to enter just as the Value line crosses to the + side. Very simple and very accurate. Indicators aren't the holy grail. By themselves, they are worthless, but as part of a whole trading system, they can be invaluable. You also need...

    Intraday Indicators

    I use prices and indicators to open positions, but use price only for close decisions.

    My Path To Success

    Lucias, I'm not putting you down at all. But if you believe you can do something that others perceive as impossible, then the best solution is to be true to yourself, and just do it. But don't be surprised if you have to learn to do a lot of new things besides the one thing that you are...

    Intraday Indicators

    I have to agree, for the most part, with this statement. The HFT buying all stocks one minute and then selling all stocks the next, regardless of what the intraday indicators are saying, is causing the"short term" intraday indicators to be workless. However, I have found some that still...

    Visual Basic

    VB would not be my first choice. C# should be better. VB6 is obsolete and unsupported. If he has to use VB then it would have to be VB.Net or forget it. Ed

    data base constrution

    When referring to "fast" I was not even talking about the file system used or the hardware. Just fast retrievals when comparing opening a file and reading the data vs the overhead of the DBMS. Ed

    data base constrution

    1. If the system is currently being programmed by someone, then they must have the data stored somewhere, otherwise, how are they retrieving it now for the programming that they are doing? 2. If you are not a programmer and your programmers do not know how to store data, maybe the project is...

    Auto Trading Idea

    Actually "net profit" could be higher if the 2 systems are required to be in agreement, and thus eliminating more losing trades than winning trades. Just like driving a car, the more rules you follow, the less accidents you have. Stopping at red lights but running stop signs is not better than...

    Auto Trading Idea

    Is it just EOD data that you are using? Are you interested at all in doing with the U.S. Steel (Symbol: X), so I can run it with my robotic traders, which only work with U.S. Stocks. Thanks, Ed

    Auto Trading Idea

    OK. I'm game. Let's do it. Creating robotic traders happens to be what I do. I see your NN as a single indicator that will return a percent. The closer to 100%, the better. We can combine your indicator with a whole host of other indicators/rules already present in my system, so...

    Auto Trading Idea

    I understand what you are doing. In theory I agree. However, from my experience, NN training is long and combersome and involves too much. Whereas, you can accomplish that task sooooooo much easier with simpler conventional methods, like backtesting. I do 90,000 backtests on each symbol...

    Auto Trading Idea

    I did about 10 neural networks around 2001 just before the market went to decimals (while it was still trading in 8ths) to predict the next uptick or downtick for stocks. It was phenominally accurate for accurate (over 90% accurate with its predictions). Then the market went to decimals and a...

    Random Trading

    It won't be a wash because if the market is predominently down during the test period you'll get stopped out too many times.

    performance survey

    A system is just the framework in which many thousands of strategies can be executed through. I run multiple strategies (long and short) on different computers and brokerage accounts, all via the same trading system. The answer to the question is that my robotic trading systems have...
