So, you finally got a copy of the program? If not, I think you should try an "inexpensive" one that also generates trading systems automatically: http://www.tradingsystemlab.com/howtoorder.aspx lol

Good point. But remember it only takes a couple of weeks of selling bonds to get to that yield range.

Any suggestions for real-time pattern scanners for forex traders that do not require programming?

Sorry but you cannot redefine things your own way. Traders have already defined profit factor PF to be the amount of winners divided by amount of losers. The average win/avg loss ratio is: (amount of winners/number of winners) / (amount of losers/number of losers) This is a good article on...

Trading is trading (obviously) If you say: "trading is simple", you immediatelly create a synthetic proposition, as opposed to an analytic one. This is nonsense. When you use "is" in a synthetic proposition you immediately assume that subject and predicate are related. I cannot see...

I am confused. All you need is a positive profit factor for not losing money. It suffices getting a confidence for that. I am not sure you can totally treat trading as a probability and statistics game. Many good traders all they manage is a big winner per year and a few small losers and they...

There is no "over and over" in the markets. A few times showcase and they catch up with you. better say find a small intraday edge constantly. But edge over whom? Professionals? market makers? value investors? or large well-informed insiders? You gotta tell me who is going to pay you for...

I read once that he has admitted he does not trade. Do you know anything about it? If true, I wonder what value his statements carry, I repeat, if it is true he does not trade.

Iy is illegal to front run the trade but it is certainly legal and actually natural to act after the trade is placed. The only ones that can front run such trades are dark pool operators and nobody can assure us that this won't happen through offshore accounts and sophisticated encrypted...

I know the software and it generates code for four different platforms in native language. Very neat. I wonder what sort of a reviewer missed such a feature.

I do not understand you use of "point". The point to enter a trade is where your particular method, whether mechanical or discretionary, gives you a signal. In general, entry points are not related to the time of the day. there are no rules about the trading activity of different time periods...

I like QT and I use it with my own broker's feed. Try to avoid opening too many real-time charts and it will work fine. Excellent software, nice charts, plenty of indicators, easy to change parametrs, set alerts, etc.

US is getting FED up with stupid europeans pushing oil up by pushing dollar down. This is what happened last week after this TRic(k)het guy spoke about rate increases. European country budgets will go in the red with lower oil prices. Much of European expansion is financed with tax receipts...

This is probably the time to keep quite about the market cause you can be proven wrong both ways. Bill

You cannot label a 400 point drop with heavy volume noise. It is a confirmation signal of a primary down trend. Bill

True, but are you aware that only in the US there are twice as many funds as individual stocks? Electronic trading makes operations very expensive. You need to constantly update software, keep up with changes and employ a good number of highly paid IT professionals to keep your business...

Good for you but selection bais dictates that this is purely random. People win the lottery after each draw very often but each one person has very low probabilities to win. To say that someone won the lottery means nothing: it's just selection bias. Good for them though. Bill

AFAIK, it's not a return issue. This is a superb trading market, a real blessing for seasoned traders. My concern is which broker will go down next so I can pull my money out asap. I don't think there are so many active traders at this point to support the expensive infrastructure of all...

Murray, What do you think about genetic programming algorithms? Have you tried any? Bill
