Would anyone know a good place to find some simple technical indicator formulae for Excel? I was able to figure out the Bollinger Bands as follows: The upper band = ma(A1:A20) + 2*stdev(A1:A20) The middle band = ma(A1:A20) The lower band = ma(A1:A20) - 2*stdev(A1:A20) I'm still working on...

Get Autotrader along with Sierrachart. The price is quite reasonable too. http://autotrader1.home.comcast.net/ http://www.sierrachart.com/

I agree, it would be nice if there was a file server set up where we could share all kinds of historical data. Most data providers only give you a few weeks of intraday data for a high monthly fee. A few weeks of data is hardly of much use for any real backtesting. You can have a CD made with...

Does anyone know if it is legal for me to save intraday data from Interactive Brokers and then post it on the internet for others to download? When we sign up for the data I wonder if there is some part of the agreement that prevents us from doing that?

Here's some intraday data: http://www.traders2traders.com/linkindex/Default.asp?CategoryID=3

Look for a file called "TwsDde.xls" that gets installed on your computer when you install Interactive Brokers TWS. It will be in this directory: "C:\Jts\Excel". It's a demo of how TWS works with excel. You can receive quotes and send orders to TWS with this file. You can change the file to suit...

The link for Autotrader is: http://autotrader1.home.comcast.net Thank you

What I did was subscribe to Qcharts for a one month free trial. They have a very good historical database. I was able to download data, then convert it to ASCII files with hypertools (free) from here: http://www.hypertrader.it/default.shtml I had to convert the files to a different format to...

I don't have any connection to Autotrader other than being a satisfied user. I think that it's a great product and with the recent improvements it has been made even better. If you set it up right I think the trading playback is the best feature of any comparable software right now. The price is...

Thanks Jerry from Autotrader and thanks to Sierrachart for getting together to make the playback speed adjustment. I would urge everyone to take a look at this setup. This is a great way for anyone to learn improve their intraday trading skills. I think it's even better than the playback for...

Questrade may not have the PDT rule but with a minimum round trip commission of $38, how many trades per day do you want to make? I agree with def, I've used the TWS standalone on many different computers and I don't have any problems with slowing them down.

I have accounts both with Questrade and Interactive Brokers. Once IB offers RRSP's I will likely transfer most of my accounts to it since this is the broker that I prefer. Interactive Brokers also has a standalone TWS platform. Look for it on their website, download and install it. To log...

At this website here: http://www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/E/pub/tp/it346r/it346r-e.html It says that speculators can treat transactions in commodity futures as capital gains or losses. It says that the gains would be taxable at 50% but then I believe our tax rate on capital gains is now 25%. This web...

The more I work with Wealth Lab, the more I like it. I like the fact that you can work with an online version and with Wealth Lab developer. I was able to learn how to read and make simple programs in just a few days from their website and I don't have any programming background. The new...

Does anyone know if there are any funds available in Canada that you can use to simulate short selling? In the U.S. they can use Rydex or Profund mutual funds in their IRA's. Some of these funds such as USPIX or URPIX are set up to move inverse to the market. Does anyone know if there's a broker...

Why don't you run a new installation of Windows on your new hard drive? Why would you want to clone the old hard drive and copy all the old problems, hidden programs etc. I have three computers and every few months for one reason or another I do a clean re-install of Windows on one of them...

If you get a second internal harddrive, then later when you want to get a second computer you can use that second hardrive in it. When you go to buy the second computer, you can just buy an upgrade kit for a couple of hundred dollars instead of buying an entire computer. Most upgrade kits right...

In Canada we're having a lot of problems with this Softwood Lumber dispute. The Americans are complaining that Canada is charging too low a price for the stumpage fee. In the United States the tree cutting rights are put up for auction and they end up paying a higher price. Why can't we do the...
