Bone, Just to let you know that I and no doubt many others, treat with a huge amount of cynicism, anyone who comes on a forum like this touting in an underhand way a paid for service such as yours. My theory is this: if you're so clever just do it. Those who can, do; those who can't...

I am looking for a coder to help develop some one-click trading software with similar functionality to Button Trader but which will interface with a couple of spread betting platforms. If someone has already developed such software then I would be happy to discuss a white label deal or if...

Never ever understood this. Life is not simple and neither are the markets. I prefer KICK - Keep It Complicated Kunt

Just a quick update from the UK. I've now been using PTF since April (blimey, doesn't time fly) and things have been going extremely well. I only trade UK stocks (although did have a disasterous foray into a US pair that wiped out 20% of my profits in one go) and as I've filtered them out I...

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try that way....

OK, since I made my last post, I've been trading this on the GBP/USD, Monday morning UK time. I've been stopped out a few times and the more I think about it the more I realise that, although the maths can work out correctly, you can lose continuously because of the timing of the market...

Interesting thread and after spending a few hours trying to digest the system, I wrote a small excel routine which works out the numbers (I think). Like NWT, I'm having to put each new candle data in by hand which is a pain and I wonder if anyone has written either an MT4 indicator or EA for...

Could you add a filter that excludes losing trades ? I'm sure that would be much more profitable :)

Spot on....

I would agree with Winston TJ. Excel is a much maligned and under rated application. All my automated algorithms are implemented using Excel and it works very well. My algorithms dont work in the financial sector but on another exchange and the principles are the same.

Thanks Kedwards.....understood.....

Further to the previous post and some of your own comments regarding TA, I really can't see how you can suggest TA in some form or another doesn't work when your algorithm itself must use a trigger of some sort to enter trades. Looking at your last screenshot its quite apparent that something...

PF is 0.89 I did have one disastrous foray into US stocks with a huge loser, so I'm keeping away from them. But I'm keen to get some ideas and/or experience re putting pairs together as I'm sure the same sector system that most people use can't be the only workable idea.

As you may know I'm trading UK stocks as I'm based in the UK and I'm so far doing quite well with PTF with a strike rate of now 76.8% and a 1.54% ROI. Bearing in mind the average trade last about 7-8 days, thats not bad. Because I have limited pairs I'm looking for some 'out of the box' ideas...

I haven't posted for a while, so here's a quick update, stimulated by the above poster. I trade UK stocks only and although things have slowed down I am still making profits. Because I was doing well I did try a US pair that historically had a 100% trading record but it immediately went into...

Unless he got out, this is currently a huge loser. CELG Sell 42.60 (current 47.32) OSIP Buy 30.31 (current 27.71) Hopefully he managed to get out quickly, although it immediately went into negative territory after it was indicated as a trade. Shame that because this pair had a 100%...

Yes, I use Yahoo and no, I havent seen these issues.

One thing I've noticed which varies across pairs, is how the pairs behave for the few days after an indication to enter from PTF. Some consistently widen in their spread for a couple of days before reverting to their mean. Then again, some consistently don't. So it may be prudent to see how...

You'll need to make sure you have the latest version. I think the Alerts started with V2.2f (which is what I currently have) but is no doubt on the later versions (if there are any). If you have that version or later click on the 'pear' icon top left and down to 'Alerts Configuration'. Then...

Thanks for that jonny. While PTF works well for finding opportunities there are still some gaping holes in the software, not least never being notified when there is an update - not even an email. I appreciate the work thats gone into the software but the developer seems to march ahead...
