Hmmmmm. now that is very interesting. I've been thinking about this phenomenon, and putting some numbers into a quick mathematical model (hastily put together I might add), but the results also seemed to vary according the the order of the winners/losers when the size is 3%. Now I'm really...

Hiya Guys, This thread has been sooooo funny. I just came across it today and read it through from start to finish. Now MrMarket. I have a serious question for you. Why does the opening post that you made in this thread almost exactly match the description on your website??? Clearly you...

In the same vein, I remember a few years ago a couple of Traders featured heavily as star traders on a particular company's website to help sell their software. They apparantly made 100k from a 20k account buying stocks in tech companies in the 3 months just before the bubble burst. I...

An Irishman, a Mexican and a blond guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building. Eating lunch one day, the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage. If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch I'm going to jump off this building." The Mexican...

LOL. There's a whole industry based around this sort of thing... Ever heard of Fleet Street Publications?:eek: Natalie

Some of us do exactly that. mind you, we have had quite a few problems gaining access, and it has tended to be fairly explensive access too. Also, US brokers don't really advertise over here, and many don't accept Uk clients either. Access to information here is still primitive and dominated by...

Agreed Wild. In fact, most of the spread bet companies even sponsor exhibitions and conventions and things just to keep you giving them money. here is a good example of the wonderful pricing they offer. invensys bid/ask 56/57 hmmmmm - I make that close to 2% spread??... and that's before...

Guilty as charged... :) That's pretty much what they are. It grew up from sports betting, and they expanded into a vacant market... Isn't it an interesting society we live in that has a government that while encouraging people to provide for themselves by 'investing/saving' money for...

CFD's is a way of trading the underlying shares on a margin, and avoiding the .5% stamp duty (tax) on every share purchase. They tend to be priced around the spread of the underlying, and as such are not very efficient all. Not wonderful, but neither are the stock futures. Much better than the...

Only if you keep the standard settings (I believe that is the default but you can change the settings). Mine is set up to remain in the box I have just used. But you do have the choice in excel... Natalie

Thanks for the reply Andy. That would be serious drawback in the viability of the backtesting on esignal. In fact it makes it next to useless for any serious analysis. :( I spoke with Central today as well, and they have told me that I can not purchase in data from other sources and use the...

Thank you :) Natalie

hi Andy Is it possible to obtain tick data from a much longer period than you hold on your servers, and load it on my maching and use it for backtesting? The other question is where to get it and how to do it? many thanks Natalie

Dubbed one of the most evil women in history. Natalie

Is that wishful thinking I hear????? Natalie

Gets My vote. At least women talk with eachother and cooperate... Natalie :D

Only if you guys continue to insist on leaving it up. Anyway, we'd get a guy to come and do it for us... :D Natalie

I look across the Atlantic right now. There's nothing right or wrong about which markets to trade and I've been in both the European and US markets at various times. It's more the thought of starting to work at such an ungodly hour of the morning like 8.00 a.m. doesn't appeal too much... :D...

Quah - is it programmable too? I'll be having a look at the link Thank you for that. The e-signal feed is really good. The front end is pretty good too... If what you suggest is an evan better combination I may well go with it... many thanks Natalie

Have e-signal considered making their indicators able to be layered on top of eachother. for example Plot an rsi, and then plot a moving avarage of the RSI (not the price data) an it be on the RSI pane or Be able to plot different indicators on any pane in the chart instead of them...
