where is the cheapest place to buy it or to get it for free? not only Dax but other intraday futures data.

do you need to have a Tradestation brokerage account to use TS8? what's the cost of TS8? TS2000i is only $100. i am mainly looking for intraday data on Dax futures. what would you suggest is the best way to get this?

i want both intraday and eod data.

does this mean 2000i will give me data up to year 2000 in a cd, then i use the updates to download data up to present time? that would be awesome. can i download intraday data as well?

what database are you updating if you only get CD data up to 2000?

1) If you purchase this but don't have a brokerage account with Tradestation, will you have access to Tradestation's historical intraday data for backtesting? 2) Can 2000i test historical intraday data (say 5 minute bars)? thanks.

gbos, can you please give an intuitive explanation of this method?

lets block out the other factors for now (risk/reward, correlation, etc.) lets say all you want to do right now is rank 10 markets from the most trendiest to the least trendiest. how would you do this? what statistical measure would you use?

what if shorter term volatility acclerated because the price is falling in that time frame, but longer term time frame says prices are rising? in this case the measure would say the trend is acclerating, but which way? let me ask in another way. people always say that the SP market doesn't...

i have 2 questions about this: 1) what is the rationale, in plain english, that when the weekly volatility is larger than the daily volatility*sqrt(t), you are trending in one particular direction? can it be the case that the daily volatility is pointing to one direction, but the weekly...

i think it's a matter of degree. obviously, the steeper the better, the longer the better, and the smoother the better. now you have two markets. how do you measure which market is better according to the above criteria?

thanks. this is interesting, same kind of idea as the sharpe ratio. the higher the number, the smoother the trend. however, say we have a market that moves like this: moves up 20 days in a row, then moves down 20 days in a row, then moves up 20 days in a row, then moves down 20 days...

i am thinking along these lines... the best trends are the ones that 1) steadily go in one direction 2) have very few pullbacks, and 3) when there are pullbacks, they are small how would you go about measuring this? what statistical measure would you use? then i'm thinking... say...

maybe someone else will know what i'm getting at...

i think you guys are answering a different question. i'm not asking about how to find a trend or how to catch a trend. i am looking for a statistical measure or something similar. how would you measure whether one market is more or less trendy than the other?

he's just another bitter and sad academic who is delusional in thinking he's superior to others when he's not. :D

let me ask in another way. how would you determine whether one market is more or less trendy than the other? how do you quantify that?

Say you have a set of prices, how would you define and test for trendiness?

no way dude! are you serious?
