OK everyone, I'm not for believing everything I read on the Internet, but this one caught my eye. I was researching NVAX (which caught a bit of a tailwind afterhours on Friday), when I stumbled upon this reference on the Yahoo Message board for the stock. Check out this YouTube Video...

Come on, it is obvious. They represent the first 9 letters of the alphabet........

If you think that our "managed care" Health System, in its current form, is good, then please tell me what you are smoking, so I can try some.............

EminTrader, this is a valid concern on your part; I certainly understand that. Your 18 year chart and AAPL chart doesn't tell us anything at all....sorry. Anyone who trades a system on AOF (act of faith) is looking for trouble. Each and every one of us need to perform backtesting to our...

Pardon my skepticism, but it's intrigued a bunch of us, and I'm finding quite a few errors in the postings, which raises questions. And now this latest revelation of not using these posts for trades, breeds further skepticism. Someone on this thread will find an optimal value for L5 (perhaps...

Since I started spreadsheeting this stuff, I've found too many mistakes. I wondered how these mistakes could be made, if you were trading from them. Now I know. Why would you post these, if you are not trading them ? What is the motive here ? Hmmmmm......

Another anomoly - It seems like L5 changed for HCBK on 4/1/2009 from 2.0922 to 2.0561, but hasn't been reflected accurately since this date.

EminTrader, The Buy/Sell prices for 4/21 and 4/22 trades for HCBK do not jive with stipulated L5 %, or the Open price values for those days. There are definitely some computational errors for those 2 days.

That was only iteration # 1, EminTrader. Granted it doesn't mimic the fluctations in daily L5 values. My next task is to optimize on my current trading algorithm, to come up with an optimal solution. In fairness, my rather crude results did paint your system in a favorable light.....with...

I backtested EminTrader's Strategy using 2 year's worth of 1 minute data, using my Wealth Lab testing environment. The data used was retrieved using TDAmeritrade's API facility (they only permit up to 2 years of intraday data to be retrived). The data looked pretty clean on brief inspection...

LOL ! Good try on the ACH withdrawal..... BTW, Jerry is an awesome guy.....he always provides timely and superlative support. I also use QT, with an IB market feed, and love it.

In the spirit of answering my own question, and sharing my findings with others, I thought I'd let everyone know that I discovered that TDAmeritrade has an API that permits access of up to 2 years of historical 1-minute (or higher bar) data. In order to gain access to it, you must: 1) Have...

And I appreciate your testing here, Trend. Interesting characterization for sure. The use of ATR is something that intrigued me from a prior post in this thread as well, and your results are quite revealing. I'm currently in the hunt for some 1-minute data so that I can dust off my...

Without the algorithm, there is no saying how well this system performs over time. EminTrader has said that he has tested over a 10-year timeframe, but it is his word against ours, without the proof. I really commend him on the documented results over the last several months, but proof is in...

Hi guys, I'm dusting off my old Wealth-Lab backtesting software environment, and I am in need of 1-5 years of good stock data. Are there any Free resources for this out there ? (Probably not, but I thought I'd ask....). Alternatively, what vendors provide accurate and...

Sounds like power supply isn't providing enough juice. It could also be a mother board issue. If you can, try swapping power supply into another compatible machine, to see if problem manifests there as well.

Are you measuring voltage ? If not, some possibilities are: - Bad Power Supply. They can go bad. Swap out to a new one, and see if problem persists. - Motherboard could be going on you. I had an IBM laptop that had similar symptoms. I swapped out the Power Supply to no avail...

The episode just reaffirms that in Wall Street, just like every other "industry", there are many with their hands in the pie.

Very interesting post, Laurentb. This is something that surely needs to be explored and back-tested. I need to get my Wealth-Lab environment back up and running. So, your contention is that the short-term volatility of the stock should play into the equation ? So, are you using Opening...

Yes, I would be interested as well. I went through most of this thread, and don't see much talk on this. Thanks in advance.
