Dominating force for the next century??? You could have said the same thing about MSFT 10 years ago and look at them now. Other than adsense/search, GOOG doesn't have any other real money making operations. I don't see why another 'smart' company couldn't come along in 5 to 10 years and...

The biggest error in system trading is in the use of back-testing by the author. Back-testing can be done the correct way or the incorrect way. Most out of inexperience choose the latter.

As a fan of MSFT in the 90s, I have to say you are right on their current situation. Chasing a declining company like yahoo is a serious error in judgement. Yahoo does not equal google. Look at Time-Warner and the AOL deal.

I don't think you will find a service offering both real-time and historical. Two different uses (quotes vs back-testing). Mabye one of these is more in your range: http://www.tickplusdata.com/ http://pitrading.com/historical_data.htm http://www.anfutures.com/tickbytickdata.htm...

Is opentick accepting new users? Last time I checked the signup was closed.

If you want to get dirty with the programming, you can always access yahoo finance for data. Otherwise, I would recommend Telechart from Worden http://tc2000.com/. Clean data for $20 to $30 a month. Now you can pick up some open source TA libraries on the net. Or just use a good platform such...

You probably want to throw your data collection routines in a seperate thread if you are going to collect your own historical data. In very fast markets (after fed), you can run into problems.

From the tone of his post, I think he is looking for for end-of-day scanner as he references yahoo (which is daily data). For real-time, he can check out RealTick's www.taltrade.com and their TAL API. I have programmed a real-time scanner for a firm in the past with great results. In the...

I thought a sample was available on the page, maybe I am wrong about forex. I use the data for index back-tests. You can also try http://tickdata.com/. I think they have a sample/demo too.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but look under forex tag: http://pitrading.com/intraday_ascii_data_market_edition.htm Contains all the major pairs. However you will need to convert the 1 min to 60 min for your use.

Opentick is a bad choice not just because of quality problems but because they no longer accept new users. See signup page: https://www.opentick.com/index.php?app=users&event=profile_form

Symantec Anti-virus corporate edition also flags your page as containing a virus of type Downloader.

Are you looking for scanning end-of-day or realtime? I have done programming on scanners before and can offer suggestions based on the time frame you need to scan.

Multicharts has been cracked to bypass their server authorization. No software product has 100% security. Only an idiot would pay money to a shady company from russia when cracks are easily available.

Why would anyone but a system from someone who has a -1 feeback rating on ebay for failing to pay for a wii, can't afford to but a registered copy of a screen capture program, and system rules are available for free??????? At least he should be smart enough to create a new ebay account...

Do you really need tick data? Would 1 min data work with your testing?

The TRS80 is worth more than all the Tradingmarkets courses combined.
