When I designed TradersStudio I design it to make the portfolio level testing as easy to use as possible. Here is a link to a free tutorial on TradersStudio.com http://www.tradersstudio.com/Default.aspx?tabid=81 This shows you how to test a simple system on a basket of markets. When...

I am still trying to get a handle on this. I want to understand so I can get TradersStudio to help people who want to trade spreads. This is my current understanding; let me know constructively if I am on the correct path. 1) Spreads between two contracts on the same market. These...

From the results of the poll it looks like most of you would you use intra-day backtesting software which handles down to 1 minute bars even if it did not do analysis at the tick by tick level. Our current plans for TradersStudio real time is to support 1 minute bars , but not to do...

The overlap is minimum. Cybernetic trading strategies really covered my work from 4/94 to 6/97. My Technology in Trading book cover though 2004, that is another seven years of material and research. I would say the overlap is less than 25%, with more than 75% percent new material.

What type of features would Forex traders like to see in a backtesting platform if they could have special features for them.

If you want to backtest candlestick patterns the big problem is that you don't have a lot of cases per market. This problem is because candlestick patterns need to be taken in context. Let me give you an example, a bearish engulf is normally bearish , when it forms in an uptrend. If it happens...

Question could this be a A-B-C ,X pattern ? and not a start of a new impulse. I know it will not be that if we confirm the uptrend.

I guess what you are telling me is that you only trade individual contracts trading options. So this means if you are doing spreads in energies you would be using 12 different contracts per year. My goal is to discuss these issues so I can come up with some type of special spread...

Remember in the system world several popular systems used 45 minute bars. One example of this was R-Breaker. I guess using longer bars you miss opportunity but also you filter noise. This is like a moving average add lag , but get rid of noise.

I have gotten several private messages about my Technology In Trading book. This book is the collection of all my Futures Magazine articles going back to 1995. I have uploaded the Table of Contents for this book . This book is published under an agreement with Futures Magazine which is why I...

Could people give me a wish list of features they would want if they could develop their own trading platform. You could include information about what platform you are using and how you do it using that platform. You could also discuss how you can't do what you want with the platform...

I guess, my question is would you use a platform which did not support tick bars. Is a intra-day platform which uses 1 minute or greater bars useful, depending of course on what other features it offers that for example TradeStation does not.

In this thread let's discuss issues involved in developing intra-day trading systems. I would really like information on how the community trades intraday. Let's discuss issues like trading time based bars versus tick bars. Also we can discuss short term intra-day systems and system development...

Yss, let's discuss each of these. In addition could I get some input in how you are trading spreads using various Trading Platforms like Tradestation,metastock ect. I think the big problem is contract rollover since we can not backadjust because that will destroy the difference between the markets.

Here is the link to my new spread trading thread. http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57830 Let's discuss spread issues there and we will keep this thread opening range breakout.

Let's use this thread to discuss issues involved in spread trading. I would like to address how to solve issues involved in using trading software to handle trading spreads. One important issue I would like to discuss is how to handle contract rollover when spread trading. Our goal in...

I will discuss some more opening range breakout type systems soon. I will try to give you systems which can be traded using end of day data and that you can give an order to a broker before the market opens. Give me a little time to put some stuff together. In terms of the issue with...

One group of customers that are important to us are 4.0 and 2000i users who don't want to switch because of the investment they have in EasyLanguage, but either don't like or don't want to use TradeStation as their broker. In addition we are looking at stock traders who after...

I am happy we have resolved this; I hope you and I can have constructive interchanges on this forum for the good of the members in the future. I wanted to make one more point. I normally do try to start my own threads when I plan on talking about TradersStudio. I did not join this thread...
