Maybe 10 years ago, or with a smaller company, but I would highly doubt it today with a company as visible as NFLX. (BTW, I worked for a company where it turned out revenue was being faked by the CFO and CEO to inflate the stock price, the aftermath was surreal.) There are too many peons...

I personally know some people associated with accounting at Netflix. I highly doubt they would sit by idly and let shenanigans go on, especially if it would damage their reputations. They would either whistleblow or quit outright.

Here are the backtested results from 2008 to 2009, in terms of DAX pts, 25 euros per pt. Sorry for the crappy formatting. The 3 columns on the right are wins, full losses and moved stops (a small loss). 2008-01-01 2008-01-31 -51.000000 8 6 8 2008-02-01...

That's awesome! If that's the case, then don't look a gift horse in the mouth and keep trading it. If you understand the particular mechanics of the setup, then watch your trades and see if it starts to break down. I would set certain limits beforehand to determine when to suspend or shut...

If the system has been debugged and QA'ed properly (ie. at the level that a real software product would be QA'ed, including corner cases, etc), then it seems like you should take the system live immediately. There are a lot of things that I've run into after bringing a system live that I...

Why don't you follow what Mark Douglas says and trade it for the next 30 trades and see how it turns out? That will give you the best indication of how it will work as a trade. Try to figure out what mechanical aspect of the markets that this setup takes advantage of. Remember, we've been...

I had an autotraded system on the DAX that was pretty profitable for several years until around October last year, where it hit a brick wall, and continues to be very unprofitable ever since, so I shut it down. I'm not sure why the markets changed but regardless that doesn't matter... no amount...

I'm not so sure about bundling every 250 ms. For the HSI and the KOSPI I see really weird spikes in the volume data. I posted this almost a year ago here, but no one responded. My hypothesis is that IB is missing volume and they go back and correct the volume and data every 15 seconds or...

My point is, you wanted to ask people for advice on your trading platform, and this has devolved into a 9+ page argument over which is the better language. You might be enjoying the arguing, but the thread has been completely overtaken by a topic that has nothing to do with your original intent.

I agree. I use NT as my trading platform, but the backtesting capabilities were so poor I wrote my own backtesting software. It's not anything special, but it works for me, I can run through about 4 years of tick data in 10 seconds, which is good enough for me. mhtrader, in hindsight you...

Please, Lord, I'm a good person. I don't deserve to be treated like this, can You please give me a break just this once?

Week 3 TF: 4 moved stops Corn: 2 wins, 1 full loss, 1 moved stop HSI: 2 wins, 3 moved stops DAX: 1 win Total: 34459.05, down 280.39, -0.8% for the week, -4.8% for the year. A flat week, but mentally really tough. On the TF, I got 4 moved stops, but T,W, and F, I got stopped out...

I've rarely had issues while using NT, and never any major issues. I've been trading futures with NT for about 1.5 years every day now. Sometimes when the action is really quick, I will get filled before the charts update, and it seems like NT is hung, but it's not. I have had NT hang on...

I've been collecting various futures and equity data for about 1-2 years now, depending on the contract. I've also purchased several years of some futures contracts. I've been collecting options tick data for about a year on a few contracts, including SPY. I think with options, what is more...

Personally I wouldn't short yet, but that's what makes a market. The reason why they timed the announcement today was because their earnings are coming out tomorrow and they will likely knock another one out of the park. Tim Cook already has the earnings conference call all planned out, so he...
