Today's newspaper contained this little ET-ism:

This is untrue; the phase problem is absent from trend mode! I imagine it is just a typing mistake.

I think ANYTHING that involves creating backtest simulations, running them, studying the results, and interpreting them for yourself, is good for a beginning system trader. Particularly the "interpreting them for yourself" activity. One benefit of trying lots of different ideas is that you can...

I think a very big hint is available at no charge from the nice people who run Wealth-Lab's website. Take a look at their page of Top-25 performing systems (which they call Chart Scripts): http://www.wealth-lab.com/cgi-bin/WealthLab.DLL/getpage?page=Top25.htm Notice that the ones which use...

Sure, lots of them. But there is a bit of a philosophical problem of definition: what's the difference between "entry signals" and "confirmations"? If you use Indicator X along with Moving Average crossovers in a trading system, perhaps something like this:IF( (moving average crossover = TRUE)...

The notion that hobbyists can develop worthwhile real-time trading infrastructure might be silly, but they can certainly develop real-time trading systems quite nicely, right now. Today. Infrastructure is a well developed service business and anyone can obtain excellent quality for the...

CME still lists Tbill contract specs on their website (here), 2nd from top. However, CSI's historical price data for Tbill futures ends in August 2003. Look at the bottom panel of the chart below. Black histogram bars are "Total Volume" (volume of all contracts, front month AND all back...

Warren Buffet is on record saying he is satisfied to get only one good investment idea per year ( http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett ). A logical next question is, how does one go about getting good ideas? There are excellent answers in this little book, written in the 1940's and...

Yes, 6/1/1982 is a Tuesday. It is also the next market day after Friday, 5/28/1982. That's what Joe wrote and that's what I tested. Joe entered at the open on Tuesday 6/1/1982 and exited at the close, and so did my spreadsheet. You can see this for yourself by looking at the other page...
