    creditcard's turning point strategy make 1k to 600k

    Theirs no real reason to get so defensive and argumentative. Put yourself in the shoes of a potential client.... Would you buy the system based off 3 trades? A public journal would have probably been a way to possibly draw interest if it did work. I don't think you have anything to prove to...

    Ackman vs Herbalife

    https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=HLF Out of curiosity I wanted to see the float and percent short of float. Not something I trade off but institutional ownership is 106%? 11 percent owned by insiders, 44 percent short interest.... How do you get out of a large short position without...

    Informal survey on the accuracy of indicators

    K-PIA pretty much summed it up the way I see it. They do exactly what's expected of them.

    Please Suggest Good Published Research Papers, Blogs, Strategies on Statsitcal Arbitrage

    Quantocracy.com had an interesting mash up of blogs and papers they update all the time. Not sure how stuff gets in there but I browse it frequently and have found some people to follow/read more.

    Spitting into the soup of the MM :-)

    They'd probably thank you to for being there. HFT and the groups paying for order flow will use your quotes to lean on. You'll be a sitting duck competing in the area.

    Amibroker formula language algorithms and questions

    I can pretty much promise that access to the library won't hold you back from your trial of Amibroker. The manual and Amibroker knowledge base contains more then enough to learn. The libraries formulas would most likely confuse you more trying to figure them out lol

    (futures+option) strategy and c# vs easylanguage

    Look around for futures brokerages. I don't trade them myself but seems like theirs a lot of options and most seem to offer a range of possible software to use. Theirs a lot of options it seems for introducing brokers and FCM's. For instance I think Amo offers a wide range of options for...

    Been asked to move to another FCM

    Everyone talks about risk being the possible issue but could it not be volume? He said it takes awhile to work out his positions so perhaps he's not generating enough commissions for them to justify the cost of account and platform fees?

    How important are basic trendline and price pattern analysis?

    Those are some pretty crazy lines lol. The simple logic I used would do the exact thing. Connect lows on some look back period, most would come out random. I think theirs a lot of discretion involved with something like a trend line. Which can sometimes be the issue since our eyes like to make...

    How important are basic trendline and price pattern analysis?

    Lol. This thread I'll have 1000 posts now that you asked the question of what's the difference between price action and technical analysis. Indicators, trend lines, support/resistance, their all derivatives of price action in my mind. Where is price relative to previous price. What is this...

    How important are basic trendline and price pattern analysis?

    You can backtest anything you ever wanted with programming if you can define it with hard codes rules. So let's say I define a trend line as follows( this is just random gibberish. Every language would have a way of doing something like this). Point A = lowest low value of daily lows for...

    Boom, Bust, Rinse & Repeat: Predicting The Global Economy, by Raoul Pal

    https://chatwithtraders.com/ep-079-raoul-pal-global-macro-investor/ Just finished listening to that today. Very frightening actually after I listened to it lol. Talking about record debt/gdp globally and record low interest rates and what I guess I'd call the experiment of negative interest...

    Where Can I get intraday ES data (One time Purchase)

    Are you looking for tick or is 1minute interval okay? Like above said IQFeed and Qcollector would be an alright option. Qcollector would only be needed since IQFeed API requires a yearly subscription and Qcollector is a supported vendor so no API and quickly connected. If you have a another...

    How important are basic trendline and price pattern analysis?

    Your kind of all over the place. I promise a few months from now and you'll look back and go " what was I asking?" . The reason you won't see head and shoulders/trend/ support/resistance line as a quick and drag function in a backtest software is their really discretionary from trader to...

    amibroker questions

    Take the time and review manual and knowledge base. Lots of examples and material on its capabilities. AFL( Amibroker formula language) is used for pretty much for everything. When you right click the chart and open the editor it will show like you see whatever is in that file. For instance...

    Backtesting is sooo confusing , anyone got a good guide to learn how to do one?

    First off I doubt you'll find a good volume source for spot forex. Theirs no exchanges to record volume. If you did it be hard to know where they got the volume from. Second you'd need to define what draws a trend line. That be your first code, which wouldn't be easy. Perhaps simply connect...

    Jack Schwager discusses FundSeeder, a free platform to find undiscovered worldwide trading talent

    Be curious to see how it turns out. Listened to him on chatwithtraders and sounded interesting. Only issue I saw was the lack of investors looking at it. If I remember correctly their was currently only one guy or group( can't remember) that we're looking to invest and Jack mentioned he might...

    Installment Receipts? What are they.

    So have the week off and was just watching the markets(trade off dailies/weeklies) and noticed on my brokers platform(td direct investing), under a category of most active in Canadian stocks they had two symbols I've never seen before. AQN-IR.TO(company is AQN.TO) and EMA-IR.TO (company is...

    what is a great broker for penny stocks?

    The only suggestion I'd have is someone who has a per ticket fee. Don't want to pay a penny a share for a penny stock lol
