You have two uncorrelated methods and you want to determine what will happen when they both agree? First you might want to start by finding how often they agree.

I started with this book. While it was a basis, it was another few months after I read it before I got anything started. http://www.amazon.com/Building-Automated-Trading-Systems-Introduction/dp/0750682515 It's just like any other successful venture, most people that get to the finish...

TradeStation is mechanical or try TraderStudio. Both can work with swing / position trading. My stuff is intraday only and I have no interest in sharing the mechanics that took thousands of dollars. 10 times what my initial budget was but is 1000 times better than I had ever...

Bad choice of words on my part as it 'can' be useful in the right place, at the right time. A volatile stock can easily move several % points in a day.

Can you clarify what you would suggest is a lengthy loss? Many hft traders don't have losing weeks. Many successful traders are the same. For day systems would you say that 80% on the monthly profitable is good? Straight out of the box, just applying the same rules daily?

Please don't bring that guys name into trading...there is no comparison. He was a thief and a joke, never would or could be a trader. This statement is true and a good way to help in the reduction of this fear is to trade multiple positions and systems. Trade both sides of the market. Also...

Just wondering if anyone knows anyone there, my site has been hit every single day this week from this location. Not all that big a deal, there really isn't that much to see ... yet. Just checking... Thanks

Hello?

Excellent work Murray! Very interesting results for the indices. I believe if you filter the entry based on where it opens, you can get better results. I have these questions based on this: Was there a stop-loss used? Can you elaborate a little more about the exit? Is this is a...

Taking the human element out of the equation is the first step to developing a system.

I know many of you guys love the TS platform. This is great, it works for you. However, if it were not able to answer the questions that you had, if you had the passion for trading that I have, you would think MUCH DIFFERENTLY of it. I have no intention of bashing any product, my intention...

I am not certain that it can be done in TS, as I mentioned I don't use the platform and I gave up on it. I won't give an example, but I will say that it is a stop-loss / profit-target method that I wanted to use. I will also say that my original idea was to trade off of patterns that were...

Excellent point. I must say that I use zero technical analysis in what I am doing and this is part of the reason. I also do not 'think' that the technical indicators from yesterday have anything at all to do with today's price action. If you are trading a chart, which most people are, let's...

You don't have a clue what they are...or how they work, how do you know they are available? Most of them are integrated with the database and make calculations for trading using the database. This is not designed for the general public. It is designed to trade specific price-action based...

I am sorry if it came across that way to you. I promise, I will never sell you anything and that was not my intention. Before I sell or lease anything, I will teach no less than 10 people how to use the platform, put up my own money as risk capital (so long as it is legal), and make...

Are you implementing day trading strategies or larger time frames? I totally agree with multiple systems and switches. If the market opens in different places, you may want to trade differently, if your back-testing has proven to be more profitable. With the database, your program can find...

I have given you my experience with TS. Is this everyones? I doubt it. I was attempting to do something very different and at the time, combining time frames was not working for me. I spent hours going through the back-tests, sent the code to someone to see if it could possibly be an error...

While many professionals do use TS, it is a platform that is aimed for the mainstream. During the process, they left out many features. Many of these were added by 3rd party vendors. TS is extremely slow in back-testing. Nothing that I have mentioned was available 3 years ago in TS that...

They will all come out and say they can do it...tell them to show you. ONLY with the addition of add-in products can you do most of these things. You cannot mine your results. You cannot back-test multiple symbols simultaneously. The entire reason I developed my own was because TS couldn't...

Let me first say that : GA - Genetic algorithms is more of a search technique than a data mining algorithm. This would be better suited in back-testing and could be referred to as a form of optimization. GP - Genetic Programming - this can be done in SQL, however it is for more complex...
