I would like to back test my strategies using C/C++ script for the following time period: 2005-2011. Will back test NYSE and TSX stocks. How do I get accurate historical data for this? Who provides the best historical data? Is historical data available for Canadian stocks (TSX)? If...

Hello! I use Ninja for my charting and IB (TWS) for execution. I have some knowledge in C/C++. Which of these 2 platforms is easier for back testing my strategies? I already know Ninja but am not familiar with TWS that much. I am also interested to know in which platform is more...

Another lesson for me this year: treat each trade absolutely separately from your previous trades and don't let losses or wins affect your next trade.

I agree. I found that I am a disretionary trader. I tried to apply a structured system but found that just observing price action and trying to be on the same wave as the market, is much more profitable for me.

RTD, good job!!! Atticus, it is YOU who is sick and arrogant, not RTD.

I am surprised, I would think the jews would be leading

Anybody?

Come on, guys and girls, doesn't anyone know? Please?

I have a question. I was reading about futures on investopedia and have come across the following: As the accounts of the parties in futures contracts are adjusted every day, most transactions in the futures market are settled in cash, and the actual physical commodity is bought or sold in...

I am reading his book now. It is extremely difficult to read as it is not written very well. Right in Chapter 1 he refers to things that he hasn't explained yet. actually given that there is a thread on the web site where this question was raised and answered - do you mean "futures trading...

I just asked on his forum, and was told that he doesn't call trades but identifies price action. He is legally not allowed to call trades and show his DOM, as he is not licensed. What I don't understand is what is the purpose of such a trading room if he doesn't give you any signals? What will...

Agree, drives me crazy too!

I signed up for a free trial in Al Brooks' trading room. Got 2 days. He does talk throughout the day and stays all day with you. He kind of indicates when he is going to buy/sell but does not get too specific unless I missed something. What really worried me was that there was no DOM so...

spd, I am interested to know how futures and regulations are structured? So, you are saying there is no difference which firm I choose: IB or some small futures only firm, like AMP, Global Futures, etc???

outsource, hey, no swearing in Russian! :D You are not the only Russian here :D

apparently, they don't just sell S&R zones but also an indicator that gives you an entry signal. They offer 2 months money back guarantee, so I am tempted to try it out. Their signal is called "Turning Point"... Who knows?

Thanks! I guess tothetick.com won't get my money! I didn't know I could obtain these support and resistance lines for free.

Thanks, Mark, Yes, I already read a bit on ET forum. I was quite surprised actually to see that so many trade with no or few indicators, and this may be the way to go, you get less distracted with trying to figure out what the indicators tell you. I will do more research about this.

oh, thanks for a good link, it is very useful!

Thanks for the advice! FirstDegree, are you serious? Get rid of indicators completely??? How can you trade with nothing on your chart? I would be curious to know if there are other ET members who trade with no or very few indicators?? I will start a new thread after checking to make sure no...
