Right now am just doing manual backtesting using investing.com on crude (also was doing copper). On 15 min chart when I got a certain setup (it happened 15 times over 7 days, which is as far back as 15 min chart goes on investing.com) I set it up where I took 20 tgt profit, and allowed 15 ticks...

For starters where to go to find data on the hourly candles and somehow get those imported. I'd want this to go back a long while, as Investing.com only goes back 2 or 3 months with hourly charts. Obviously I'm not just importing prices a la yahoo finance either, as it is candles and the 4 OHLC...

I guess I just don't know where to start. I searched online how to code candlestick charts and obviously it is OHLC, so it should be pretty doable, but I don't know how to do anything programming-wise. If I were to get the candles on the hourly going back as many years as possible that'd be...

have some ideas for more so short term trading, too, like on 30 and 60 min charts. Just would like to know how feasible it is for someone like me w/no background in programming to be able to enter in candle stick data and even if not optimize at least tell me what would happen if say when...

I think I've got some 'leads' to an edge for trading (I only look at commodities and ES). I'm wondering if there is some place I can pay to learn how to backtest, as I have no coding/SQL or any of that experience. Right now the edge I believe I have definitely is not an intraday kind of...

Amen to that; starve the beast. The biggest delusion is that there is a way out of this without pain. I'm for letting the market work and punish imprudent risk taking and am for not having moral hazards such as bailing out banks. And as I've reiterated a lot, inflation is the increase in the...

I might look into Oanda. I might also just keep trading ETFs on commodities in my Scottrade even though the problem there is every trade I trade all the capital in my pretty small acct. and I have to wait 3 days due to the stupid reg T rule.

Printing money to repudiate debt is dishonest and will be infinitely worse than defaulting. Lenders have to take losses, too, for lending to insolvent borrowers. All of this so far has been contingent on the Chinese lending the U.S. money, but those days won't last forever. They can consume...

well deflation is actually an indicator of a sound economy as prices are falling as priced in terms of sound money (gold and silver) prices fall over time as productivity increases. This is the way it was in the industrial revolution in America, right up until the zionist Fed was created in...

Just am looking for a reputable broker and the chance to position trade (ie, be able to take some heat) in forex.

yeah, that's what I meant, definitely not interested in futures with this. I had heard people could trade forex and have the tick increments very small in value, so more heat can be taken. I'll look into Oanda. Thanks

I just want to be able to trade forex to get some experience, and want to be able to take some heat. I was pointing out I don't want a setup like 6E where even one tick is 12.50. I don't know how low the tick values can go, but I'd like a lot less. I don't care so much about upside, even, as I...

look at stocks and bonds; there is the inflation showing up right there. And in China as well, where they are productive but also have tons of malinvestment like the ghost cities. The inflation already unleashed will destroy the economy eventually. Propping up failing companies, TARP, etc...

I'm looking for advice on how to open up a FOREX acct (who to do it through, etc.). Until now I have just traded in the Scottrade ETFs occasionally, with a very small acct. size, and don't like having to wait 3 days to trade due to the rules about trade completion. I'd like to open a FOREX...

Inflation is the increase in the supply of money and credit, so just look at the size of the central banks' balance sheets and you can see the massive inflation unleashed (China imports a lot of it, as do EMs). Rising prices and malinvestments due to interest rate distortions are the symptoms of...

Yeah, I'll look into it obviously. I have a knack for picking spots and identifying value areas such as oversold conditions in a bear market on a commodity looking to scalp long positionally, etc. I'm also considering opening a forex account because my Scottrade I like positional...

I am only 22 but want to be a CTA. I trade some on my own and spend a lot of time looking over chart histories and idiosyncrasies of candle charts on oil, ES, gold, nat gas, coffee. Have been pretty accurate, trading UCO and SCO and also on my call that coffee would get at least a nice bounce a...

Again, inflation is the increase in the supply of money and credit. Rising prices, along with the malinvestments, are symptoms, not inflation itself. But in measuring the effect of rising prices, I want to see what is happening to commodities over time. Things like fuel, staple foods, etc. TVs...

Risk/reward wise I'd think if one more run up in ES buying UVXY if it would be maybe near 13ish and playing for 17 before, say, 10.50 as a pure risk capital trade lotto ticket is an idea. Super beaten down already. Otherwise no thanks as far as myself trading that thing, although I think these...
