College courses, evenings are the best thing to take your mind off the routine. You could do homework during the trading hours. Most of the evening students are women, young, intelligent, and many are attractive. That could be a problem or a good thing depending on where you are in your life...

Can somebody point me to a site with the math for positon sizing optimized for not blowing out based on expected win percent gain, expected loss percent and expected percentage of winners? I used to use an online calculator and now I can't find it, the guy at the site hasn't answered my email...

I like indicators and systems that are based on some kind of trading reality like a short squeeze where lots of traders have to cover, or a breakout to new highs where there are no sellers and potentially there are buyers, or a breakout above resistance, etc. How does this relate to any kind...

I think you can use Radar Screen in TS2000 and monitor multiple securities and multiple strategies and autotrade with a third party interface to brokerage. I am working on that exact problem currently and so far I have discovered I have to buy (and master!!) Hashnums for $200. Max

The guy at http://www.investtalk.com was talking about that product on his radio show yesterday. He says it has applications inside cars, etc. People in the back seat can have entirely different entertainment than the ones in the front seat, etc. Can't tell me that won't sell. Come to think of...

I have all the books, the ones that come with the software are the best. Download the technical reference manual for EZ Language and you will never have very many questions about coding. There is an "Ask Mr. Easy Language" yahoo discussion where you can post questions. Later Max

Turkey did everything we asked and more for us during the cold war, they wanted into NATO. When it came time to vote them in, the West did not do it. Why the US would expect them to cooperate ever, is beyond me. I would not want the job of asking them for help, I would feel like a two faced...

The new Ferrari took the points last race. Max

I have a question about Global Server. Is there a way to cut/paste a list of symbols? I just added 300 symbols, one at a time, what a pain. Max

I can help you out, which way did you come in? Max

Esig is in the process of expanding the intraday data, they are supposed to have a year or two's worth eventually. Max

There isn't any one feed that will satisfy what i want to do. Qcharts is the best, by far, charting package in so many ways. Their data feed has the most intraday history, by far. I use them for scoping out new trading ideas. They don't have alerts based on tech analysis, and their datafeed is...

You can combine systems in EZLanguage in TS2000. The backtest report will tell you which system entered and exited at which date/time. You can set it up so it adds positions or puts the whole amount on one trade at a time. You can export optimization results to Excel or a 3D viewer for data...

Tradestation just came out with an upgrade, pretty interesting, they are adding in things pretty fast. http://www.tradestation.com

There seems to be a tendency of big moves towards the mean with 163 day average. Perhaps it is because nobody uses it? Or the mathematics of the other averages causes the trades and subsequent congestion to occur at price levels on either side of it? Max

It has been awhile since I looked at Metastock but when I did I discovered that the programming language was more limited as to what you could do than Tradestation. Max

Didn't Fib study the way plants add branches too? And other things? I'm not the expert here, I don't even do my homework in an area I don't care about much, but I can't believe he made it into the history books by extrapolating some kind of universal law from the way rabbits reproduce. Max

I looked at retracements informally: best thing I could say about them is it is good to know an issue might have some volatility but the amount of retracement is not very material. Max

Next stop on the trip to the downside: $28.00 Max

I like to look at the number of issues that have 5 year histories of 20% growth in eps and most recent quarter eps 50% over same quarter a year ago. There were as many as 350 or so of them during the bubble, as few as 15 or so a couple of years back and now the number is 230. If that is any...
