I actually tried out tradestation with intraday data trying to use statistics, but the problem was the opening print... often erroneous prints go off right at the open far away from where the stock actualy begins trading, skewing statistics, and making them unreliable.. And since TS uses...

Gap strats kind of.. there is a screen showing statistics from the same author. but its % of days in last 100 days it close b/w open and close.... http://www.stockfetcher.com/ui2/sffilter2.php http://forums.stockfetcher.com/sfforums/?q=view&fid=1002&tid=45054&qrid= so you pretty much...

Stockfetcher.com is great for this. Its cheap, easy to use, and has a forum section where people volunteer codes and discuss similar things. you can use ADR in this case. or if you want more detailed info there are various user-made scans, that show the various % moves from the open (up...

you didnt do anything wrong (except reverse your position.). The trade ddint work out in your favor.. You kept it a small loss, and move on. Whenever I did that I always added insult to injury. It was a smart play initially, but those dont always work. thats why r/w ratios keep you in the...

that could be an option. I honestly never thought about it that way. I personally wouldnt do it b/c it has yet to really be setting up for any pattern. I would only really want to short if it had already broken past that first bottom. then I would wait for it to try to trade back UP, and short...

this was/is still is one of my biggest psychological hangups.. I tried to learn/apply all diff strategies so I could adapt to any market, in any condition at any time.. (not really, but I wasnt giving any particualr strategy enough time to figure out, and just hopping around losing money for...

[/b] good to hear. I found this helps avoiding buying/selling into a larger time frame wall. (*your "ETR" trade was a perfect example of this today. I would have done the same EXACT thing as you did, especially since it was approaching major resistance around lunch hours.. perfect for a...

I like this journal so far. I like the fact you come here for ideas, but bring actual examples of your trades. This will help you, me, and others learn more. First of all, you seem to be on the right track... here is why: 1) lack of indicators. this alone puts you ahead of many...

I think it depends what you trade. If you trade a specific market (e-minis, etc), sure 1 monitor might work.. with equities probably not. 2 is probably the minimum. Personally I use 4. 1 for overall market 2 monitors for individual scanners and various stock charts. and 1 for...

ok. thanks.

Without tipping your hat too much on your strat, can you elaborate a bit on what kind of stats you look at? for example. Do you try to filter out what the market is doing when running stats on stocsk behavior. or just look at stats on stock behavior regardless of what the market is doing day...

Yeah. I found this the other day, and decided to go with it. This is perfect for what I need currently, and relatively cheap, and doesnt require a brokerage account.

I have a few trading ideas I am looking at exploring, however, I am looking for a vendor/software that allows me to specifically look at (intraday chart) any given day X months ago. I am looking for specific days on daily charts, and want to "zoom-in" historically on these days, with an...

Why not run it on a simulator? Since liquidity probably wont be an issue (200-400 shares) that shouldnt be an issue.

Have you found out anyway to get around erroneous prints? My first idea was to basically use a 1 minute VWAP, but I asked around and I dont think Tradestation can do so.

If holding gaps throughout the day is your thing you might want to look at stockfetcher. Its a easy to learn filter (daily info not intraday) that has a forum section. In the forum section there is a member who posts a statistical scan dealing with what % of the time in the last 100 days a...

This si why I asked. I found that unless you included some sort of statistics to filter out S&P behavior (noise) the results usually reflect what the market was doing..... I am not saying his stats arent valuable, but knowing how a stocks behaves regardless of what the market is doing is...

I looked into similar statistics on more of an intraday basis, but I have a question. Do you factor in futures behavior on each day of calculation in your studies?

From the looks of it, you are only using the crossover for a trigger. I have a hard time believing this alone can consistantly provide profits. Do you use any other tools?

That is fantastic :D
