What is going on with the spy etf this morning? The market is gapping up and it is showing that the open as of 8:50 is 142.80 while the previous days close is 143.13. That is showing a gap down of 0.33 while the S&P is gapping up 5.50 points. Eric

http://finance.yahoo.com/intlindices?e=asia The markets in Asia don't seem to be bothered by it and the futures are actually up so far.

Thanks I see them now. Do you know anyplace I can download the data for free EOD of course. I tried Yahoo and it loooks like they have the individual stocks but not these ETF's. Eric

Are there Asian ETF's like there are for the S&P 500? If so does anyone know what the symbols are? I am aware of these EWA,ewj, ewh etc...but I am wanting something that trades on the local time instead of something that trades here in the states. I went to ASX website but I couldn't find...

If you are talking about historical intraday data then you can go here: http://www.tickdata.com/html/pricing1.html You can download their software and import a few months into Amibroker to test it out. I have done it and their data seems to be pretty good. eric

Thanks everyone for your input. Although sometimes ET can be very childish the information provided here and in other threads have been very helpful to me. thanks Eric

I think we could go to this group on Yahoo and get some more specific help on how to do this. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/xltraders/ After reading the original post it appears there are a few things that i need to figure out. Thanks Eric

Would love to know if this is possible in excel and if so how?

bolter, thanks for the info. I plan on doing some more research in this area. Should I assume that by reading books on LTCM that I should not just assume my distributions will be a bell curve? In other words it may or may not have fat tails or some other type of distribution. 1. my...

Say I have a strategy that trades the Emini S&P 500 swing trading (very short term swing). The average profit is 3.4 points and the standard deviation is 5.9 points of all trades combined (all winners and losers). If I subtract these two numbers I obviously get a negative number. What does...

Yes it is legal. Here is what I did. I opened up a friends and family account at Interactive Brokers making myself the Advisor. They simply opened up a subaccount that was linked to my account. I have NOT setup a LLC, PLC, hedge fund etc.... The only thing that I had to do is register with...

Jesus H Christ I guess nobody can have an alternate view of the mainstream economics? "If you don't agree with me then you are wrong" I guess you are also calling Mr. Greenspan a kool aid drinker too since he was also a Randian?

You picked the wrong handle it should be "sunshine" because you are just so sweet! :eek: You are calling me names simply because we have different views on economics. Nice. I really should know better to discus economics with someone who has to come on a message board to ask what natural...

I think that we simply have different views on government. You seem to trust them because they have educations and are elected (which no FED president is elected by the public nor Treasury Secretary) These two paragrpaghs pretty much sum up my views. The idea behind a gold standard is to...

moo is right all we need to be back on the gold standard or some sort of commodity based standard. Good ole JP Morgan was all for it and said it was a terrible mistake when we went off it. Eric

Agree 100%!

going back to Octber 1980 here are the results i get: (these are % returns) Monday 75% Tuesday 97% Wed 79% Thurs 10% Friday 24% While mine aren't exactly the same (I did use different starting date) they are somewhat consistent with your results. Also seeing how the 1987 crash...

just to clarify you are taking the close on Friday and subtracting the close on Monday to come up with the %'s for Monday? Eric
