I could see "1 beer" turning into a bad habit. I was just thinking about this the other day, actually. I was like "I wonder how many traders drink beer... or take anti-anxiety drugs... while/before they trade.

Nuh-uh. What if it goes to 13,500 and then GAPS UP TO 15,000! omg teh market is being hax0red! :D

Yahoo doesn't do it and google doesn't do it. Is there a place you can type in a date and a stock and it will show you candles for that day? Sorry if this is the wrong forum. Thanks.

I dunno about YHOO, but I heard that MSFT wants to buy GOOG. That would suck, because you know what? I really like Google. Not that I don't like Microsoft, too, but I think Microsoft owining Google would make Google less good at what it does.

I thought I remebered hearing that divergences were reliable less than half the time. What's a hidden divergence?

Actually I'm pretty sure today is the 52 week high :eek: Oh, and a bunch of people are going to jail. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AQNT

Thanks. I don't like I like HA anymore because it's not actual data. Ok, here are some examples. Look at the 3 minute Heikin-Ashi candles from AMD today. Look at this nice trend. Easy to trade, right? Man, I'll be a millionaire in no time. And there's not a gap to be found on the...

^ Thanks.

Add the MACD to your chart and compare it with the MACD Histogram and you'll see. The histogram is just the distance between the two MACD lines.

Thank you for positng that article. I think it's caused me to never use Heikin-Ashi candles again. They look pretty, and they make everything look like it's trending nicely, but they give you bad data. Here's the most disturbing part:

One of the things that seems good about stockfetcher.com is that they have a ton of indicators. I think I'm gonna go with a one month subscription and see how I like it. I would also like to find some software that will test intraday data, and where you can specify the duration of the...

I always joke about that. It seems like it might be true. Also, messing around last night with stockfetcher.com's backtesting (free trial limited to two weeks of data), going long on "bullish MACD crossovers" always ended up with a huge negative ROI, and going short on those same "bullish...

Yeah I was thinking about trying the one that lets you do 2 years, but that's still not that much time. And it doesn't do intraday candles does it? With stockfetcher, how do you test a specific stock? I couldn't figure that out.

I found some backtesting stuff at stockfetcher.com but I could only play around with their free features a bit. Is it worth subscribing to? What's the best (and cheapest) backtesting software? Can you test on daily candles or intraday candles as well?

So why not use a faster MACD? Or ergodic?

I like MACD. If MACD shows negative expectancy over time, just trade anti-MACD and it should give you positive expectancy :D

In to view this video when I get home from work.

Can you provide more data about how the indicators were used? You said MACD wasn't profitable by itself. What criteria did you use with it, for example?

I should look into that. I have some programming experience but I don't know EasyLanguage (or whatever script everyone here uses) nor do I know what program is goes with (Tradestation?). And I can't program my own stuff from scratch either. I was actually gonna make a thread asking about...

So they actually use a different formula? So it's not really the O, H, L, or C then, is it?
