ES, I meant to thank SteveIB for replying to my post and not yours. :D This one here: I casually asked a dumb (i think) question about changing their comms structure, didn't think they would take the time to reply. Usually with other brokers they'll just put me on ignore. :eek:

Thanks a lot kiwi, i'll check it out. The autotrader link is most helpful in particular. Hows the going with Woodie's CCI? You still consistent using it?

No. I only want to playback data. Care to post links to those small programs? :D

Hey ES, nice to see your recent success. I want to ask, do other FX broker/dealers pay carry Interest like Oanda do? Do they pay enough interest to make C&C worth trading? Too bad the FX Futures at CME are useless for this system though they're the best deal for FX trading all around...

Thanks for taking the time to explain. Electric Savant did a version of this system in this thread. Its called the "Volatility Grabber": http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48230 One major issue was how to get our of those first few lots that are deep in the...

But from a MATHS view if the trade is not taken at RANDOM these figures will not be valid. Your percentages ONLY applies to a FAIR SYSTEM. Your "trader edge using TA, backtest, forward test, news etc etc" IS an edge. Assuming you trade based on a flip of coin, thats called random...

I see. I would have to pay plenty for both of them right? T_T

The slippage/spread/comms really act like the House Edge doesn't it? 1.5 to 4.5 is 1:3. But adding spread/slippage/comms it becomes 2 to 4.5 or 1:2.25.

i tried uploading my CSV, its not as user friendly as Amibroker. Why can't we click "back" when the CSV importing process encountered an error due to us labelling the column wrongly? also, i can't seem to find the button labelled "bar chart"?

Downloaded the beta. Hmmm...its rather complicated. (My only programming background is Flash MX) It'll take some time for me to figure out lol. T_T

I have one question: Say I started at ES price 1100. Long & Short at the same time right? Then it goes up to say 1105 u Long & Short somemore along the way right? You might Long more lots than u Short since the market is rising. But what happens to the first Short you place at 1100...

Is there a demo or anything I can try out the replay feature for free? Any other free or cheaper solutions to recommend? I have this stinking feeling that I'll end up learning C++ and writing something on my own. :eek:

There is a problem with that. If you're view 30 mins bar chart the entire 30 min bar will appear at once. I need to see the intra-bar movement.

Hold on a minute guys. What I meant is that I already purchased Data some time ago in CSV format. Would these programs like QuantDeveloper allow me to replay them? Also, I'm looking for free solutions. Not keen to pay monthly fees just to replay data. :D

Guys, is there any program out there at all that can playback Historial Data? No order entry simulation required, I just need to be able to play back data in minute charts. (1min, 5mins, 30mins etc) I used to have one Amibroker plug-in that plays data bar by bar. The problem is on say 30 mins...

lol, most thread starters always *had* to say they're successfully trading although I have no idea why as it has nothing to do with the thread itself. to add credibility to their posts maybe? :D

What the scenario describes is a system that wins $1000 30% of the time and $300 70% of the time, which is shown by Expectancy to have an edge. The above is valid according to the laws of mathematics. I'll like to see you explain why it isn't. (Whether is it possible for you or not is another...

I see...thanks.

What are realistic Risk:Reward ratios for ES/NQ, assuming we want a Reward > Risk system. Is it possible still to get higher than 1:3 Risk:Reward trades with any kind of frequency nowadays? (say 5 or so in a month) Is 1:4 realistic? 1 NQ pt loss vs 4 NQ pt gain...hmmm.

Take the promotion. Start daytrading when you retire or cannot work anymore. Or take ElectricSavant's suggestion and swing trade longer timeframes. Stable income > Potential income. During weekends, backtest your strategies. If it really works in all tests then go ahead and trade...
