Thanks for the encouragement. But I am not spoonfeeding. I asked the question of those who want to learn: "What variables do we need?" so we can create the first block of code. The next time I start a thread I'll lead with a squirrel shot. Then rag on jews and jew down ragheads. Call democrats...

Rather than continue discussing backtesting, I think I'll just hang it up with a thread template for everyone on ET to follow, as if they needed prompting: Poster A (the originator): "Here is my serious idea about trading" Poster B: "Poster A, you're an idiot!" Poster C: "No, Poster B...

Hereabouts when we go a waffling we want warm maple syrup on it. I believe the pirates chart. We haven't hanged one in my neighborhood for decades. Re finishing the job, I think Bill tires of disputing with an old fool. We're so simple we're no fun to demolish.

And I thought I was cleverly sucking him in to admitting that! Pretend that he doesn't understand the difference and desplain it to me. As soon as I saw one of his links that said "161 patterns found" he lost me. I would still like to understand how it works, though. It is no fun at all being...

Stone Age defense: I am not getting how backtesting is so complicated. In eSignal you create a chart with the bar interval you want, say one minute. Then you create and apply a time template for the interval during the day you want to chart, say 9AM to 4PM Eastern, and the number of days to...

Is the fat one on the left carrying the pink sign advertising that she wants to be fisted? Also, do you have a link? I like fat girls.

That's impressive. When initializing the program do you have to specify things like the bar period (like one minute), the maximum duration of the pattern to search for (like 10 bars), the price sensitivity of the pattern detection (like 2 ticks or 2 cents), predefined S/R (like a fib), and...

I'll defend my Stone Age method later. How many hundreds or thousands of hours did it take you to become proficient to your satisfaction?

I reveal my total ignorance of what you are recommending by asking what the startup and maintenance costs are to obtain that capability.

For any who are interested, I will go through the process of developing a backtest using my existing eSignal code. I will not spoonfeed. If you want to participate, it must be interactively. To begin, please look at the following structure and ask any questions about it you like. Following that...

Thank you. I'll do that. Here 'tis: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3272904#post3272904

In my dreams I am Slim Pickens bareback-riding the bomb yelling "Yee-Haw!" and waving his hat.

Continuing the thought, as a Doomsday thought experiment enthusiast, I realize that it wouldn't take a very big disruption to make currency and checks and credit cards and electronic money and promises to pay irrelevant. Commodimetrics is simply barter writ small. Writ large, I do not have a...

Exactly. Apples and oranges. Or perhaps relative to a basket of commodities. It is always good to ask "What does $SPX sell for in Euros?" or "How many barrels of oil does an ounce of gold buy?" This is merely the financial equivalent of a horny cashless GI asking "How many Hershey bars does...

Let us give this dismal thread the quietus it has earned by answering the question "Does ET want to learn how to backtest?" with a resounding spluttering "Ssssspppppfffffttttt!" It was a test. I advise anyone reading who is tempted to help ET to place your savioural effort elsewhere.

It is not kind of you to tempt a feeble-minded dottering old man to make a fool of himself. I invented the science of Commodimetrics to determine the best trade inflection points for a specific commodity based not on its price in fickle fractious fiat but on the price of other commodities...

I am not sure about being a prodigy, but I am prodigious. Note that at no time did I ever say that the PRICE would go up or down at my inflection points, only the VALUE.

All sage observations. Mayhap that is why the Mint packages Eagles in tubes of twenty. You are right that I am predicting direction only, this is like an oscillator. Thank you for lending your august aura to this humbug thread.

Cheap at the price for the Jews to get rid of an annoying dissident. From a modern perspective, Wickedpoedia says that a field hand today in the slave trade costs about an ounce of silver, whereas a sex slave costs about an ounce of gold. Not a bad deal considering that a good quality assualt...

Not that anyone is reading this any more, but I think it worth while to discuss why I didn't create and post a Commodimetric system for gold. I love gold, and own some, just like if these were Antebellum times I would have owned the gold of the time, slaves. But I find it easier to relate to...
