BONEHEAD???!!! Look here... http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=bushisms m

Like I said, no big deal. It has significance for many Iraqis, but for the fight on terrorism, nah. However, it gives the administration a chance to spin. m

Corporatism isn't so great either. There's a quote by Mussolini (got this from Bushwacked): Facism should really be called corporatism because it is the perfect blending of the state and corporation power. I had to paraphrase because I didn't have the quote at hand, but that's the gist...

No. The fight will continue because of Islamic extremists who relish the opportunity that Iraq furnishes: to kill Americans. This event will be spun for all its worth by the administration, but in a few weeks it will be seen for what it is...no big deal. BTW, Saddam is saying no WMD...

Not really meaningful, though, and it won't take too long for people to figure that out. It's a silly rally, but it may carry a bit. I think the big shorting opportunity will be right after New Years. m

Thank you Amigasearch. I think this is what I need to do...a custom program. I used to program in C, Pascal, Basic and assembler, but that was long ago (Apple IIe days), so I am really rusty. I could probably do it, if I could find the time. What do you think would be the best programming...

He hasn't earned respect. Dumb, spoiled rich kid. http://www.bushisms.com/ m

It really does seem that we have a government that is bought and paid for. It's corrupt as hell and getting worse. This administration is for sale. GW is just a puppet. m

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN! We are seeing amazing manipulation. m

I think the answer is...it depends. In many areas, G5 is faster...maybe most? m

Thank you Walter for the comments. Both these systems require scanning a very large stock universe: 1500 to 3000+ stocks, in order to get sufficient signals. m

Gag me. He's a slimy disgusting ass-kisser. And now we know he's a druggie, too. Your post is perfect parody even though you don't get it. ROFLMAO m

I agree with all you said above. Yes, I'm near max DD. That is from my discretionary trading which was disastrous over the last three years. Pscyhological factors that I can think of that are influencing me: 1) The idea for both systems is so simple that many people must use the same...

Yes! I'm afraid to trade them and that is why I posted this in the pscyhology area. One system scans all stocks with 50 day average volume > 50k and the other scans stocks with 50 day average volume > 250k. Some days there are no signals. At times there are too many to take with my small...

Exit on target or on open on day 4. No, they are quite straightforward and mechanical. The only issue is filtering when there are too many signals, but there are several ways to do this without impacting results. m

I really wish I could find a way to completely automate the trading. I could generate the list of potential trades in the evening and then enter the symbols into a spreadsheet or some custom interface. The code would need to enter a trade based on a limit order x% below yesterday's close...

I'm reluctant to give away the code...even though it is nothing special or complex. What I would really like to do is develop an add on for TWS that would automate all the trading. I'm sure it's doable, just not sure I can do it. m

For each round trip trade there is 1% commission and slippage. I've been trading IB and I can usually match or better this. Once in a while I do worse, but not often. I have gone over this code very carefully and have found no bugs. I have experience finding bugs in other systems where...

Both these systems draw signals from a large stock universe. Many stocks, but few signals. Periods of increased acvtivity alternate with periods with few signals/trades. I've been backtesting for 6 years, but two years on these two systems. THe systems have very little optimization. I had...

Would you trade a mechanical system with an equity curve like this (see attachment)? These are backtested results, except for the last year, which are real time. This is actually a combination of two systems, both long-only. I've been trading them intermittently for the last year, but I...
