Definitely NOT !!! Can you imagine, it made Windows XP unbootable !!! I have been using it since march 07 and from the first impression even written a very positive comment on this forum. Now the story. I have configured avg so that the scanning and update are running in the night. One...

Worden provides prices only with only 2 digits behind the point. Such accuracy is absolutely inadequate for historical backtesting and Worden data is useless for backtesting.

Norton internet security behaves like a malicious sw. I have been using it for several years. Now finally I have lost patience and switched to AVG and up to now have no complaints. Moreover, AVG found few problems that Norton could not find. One more issue with Norton is that after...

In your "support e-mail" the response was: we do not support this date format any more. And your response now only confirms that you dont understand what are you talking about. It's a local date format in europe and other customers may be were able to download data. I can only confirm that...

I have been using trade log some time ago and it was realy amazing story. After one of "upgrades" this guy has changed in the program hard coded date format and it was not possible to download data any more beacuse program could not handle date properly. It was more than half a year until the...

I have already mentioned this in another thread. I am using (have been using) Retrospect and it hangs after Norton Security installed on my computer a file that can not be copied. The SW is not reliable if it hangs due to one file that can not be copied. And no support to resolve the problem.

I would like to issue warning on Symantec/Norton. I am using it. And it (almost) takes control of my computer. After some of the live upgrades it created a file that can not be copied. Now, Retrospect (disk backup SW) tries to copy this file and hangs, can be killed only with task manager...

I have used Tragdelog, very bad experience. The developer is a total beginner, software is full of bugs.

Thank you for your estimate.

Very interesting discussion. Let's assume that the base or spending currency is CAD and, for trading US markets, USD must be used as txn currency. If the whole trading amount is held in CAD in order to protect against decline of USD, each trade must be done 100% on margin because the txn...

Most of them are macro economic or fundamental indicators and they certainly have predictive value. But 1) they are not for retail traders, there is no data service (Bloomberg is not data service for retail traders); 2) more as looking at the chart is needed to extract value.

I have been using this SW and my experience is very bad. I would not trust reporting taxes based on it. My recommendation is to look for something better. One important point to consider is to look for SW that imports transactions in OFX format. In this way it is independent on the specific...

Such service/product is provided by each major bank. There is an alternative investment group that selects and tracks the performance of the best managers (according to the list of the approved criteria). The clients of a bank have the possibility to invest into a basket of such managers. But...

For EOD backtesting there are some alternatives. I would mention TradingBlox, TradersStudio, QuantDeveloper, WealthLab, Amibroker, Tradestation+Rina. The WealthLab, Amibroker and Tradestation+Rina are based on already obsolete SW architecture and their capabilities for portfolio testing...

Pump and dump is also valid for the books. This is a nice example.

dac*, quite detailed and with sound reasoning backed description of your strategy, compliment. The only arguable and very important point is the first: "make sure there is a compelling reason to buy". Rephrased it means: "know why it will go back". It's very difficult to know. There are...

This is also my opinion.
