When you say the formula language is not very compatable with other things you used,are you strictly referring to tradestation?? What is their code like?

I think there are two sets of traders.Discretionary and pure system traders.the pure system traders,be it directional or mean reversion do not trade their system.They may change it,but they rarely if ever overide it..And i am simplifying The other campers use any tool that they "believe"...

I totally disagree with you:) Judging from your response,I would say that there isnt much of a difference between the application of Elliot Wave vs candlesticks.Neither one shows any statistical edge in backtesting,yet they are great tools... Does that make any sense to you??? People...

Kut2k2, I fully agree with you.I dont understand this "mantra" that candlesticks fail on their own,but are a great secondary indicator... Candlesticks are one of the few "indicators" that can be easily programmed.Yes,there are various definitons of trends,but that too can be fairly easily...

Alpha,whats your worst system drawdown since the inception date??

I have demoed Neoticker and from the short time I used it,I thought it was a great product...Its definetly worth taking a look at,especially if you are an intraday trader. The truth is all these products are great products.They each have their own strengths and weaknesses,the question is...

thats a really nice looking product.Like the german engineering... is the code identical to tradestation? Is it only for lease,not for purchase??

Hi Dan, You sound alot like me.I have been using Ami for 2 months and it is a great backtester.fast,easy and simple.You can optimise almost any variable and its fast and easy to code.It appears you can do almost anything you want with Ami...And this is where it can be verrry challenging to say...

You bring up very good point regarding LIVE tech support.Its a MUST have,as email support just doesnt cut it. If you are a backtester and trade equities,take a look at traders Studio.It has features no one else in the market has,or at least within $1000 of their price.Their tech support is...

Journey, Having gone thru exactly what you are asking about,I would strongly reccomend that you demo the product and demo esignal,Iqfeed as well..Ami has a trial,and its the ONLY way to find out a products strengths and weaknesses and ultimately if the product is right for you...

well if nothing else the vol is ridiculously cheap,however you bought puts in the strongest segmentt of the market and your exposure is not large cap..hope you Beta weighted it..

As of 3 weeks ago,if you used DTN with AMI,you couldnt have daily bar charts going back than the max of intra day data.So if you wanted to look at 4 months on 30 minute bars,you couldnt gat more than 4 months of dailys at the same time.It was a major pain in the ass,..From what i understand if...

If Taleb didnt feel the need to "malign" anyone and everyone who doesnt trade according to the world of Taleb,he probably wouldnt need to have "associates" monitoring boards to defend his honor.... I have no idea how successful he is,but i do know I wish he would keep his personal rants to...

when did taleb go out on his own????

because it really hasnt happened Since Taleb started trading..... why do you think most dispersion guys who run long gamma books have gone the way of the dinosaur?

a heartfelt text from italy...how romantic:)

LOL...were you worthy of his wrath????

or gagging on long vega

I think our paths have crossed:) That was my only point..Alot of guys who just cant buy vol,will attempt to run a dispersion book gamma flat as the next best choice...And they get spanked on any good correction... I am with you,I just cant bear to sell this gamma....
