Hmmm, for example Excel/VBA + XLQ Plugin for loading data + IQ Feed... There are lot of options. Correct answer is based on how many stocks do you want to be monitoring and what exactly does "realtime" mean. Is update for example 10 times per second OK? If so, above mentioned option is OK.

Hehe... :D Definitely NOT, because some parameters are missing. What about RRR, Expectancy? Are those numbers from backtest or from live trading? How long have you been trading this strategy live? Sharpe ratio? etc. etc. What is basic idea / logic behind this strategy? Seems like you have been...

My points of view: ad 1. I trade opposite way, so I do not use trend lines at all. ad 2. I can bet that I am able to keep my win ratio long term around 70% with RRR near 1 - this is true even for periods of time like 2008/2009. I mean this bet seriously, we can use broker statements as prove...

Uff... I would be not happy to live like that. This is why I focus on trading styles that can be automated - fully quantitative approach. Trading (supervision of systems) and administrastive stuff takes me on average half hour to one hour a day. Rest of day is used for relax and time with...
