Lots of good books on system trading... Trading Systems That Work - Stridsdman Trading Systems and Money Management - Stridsman Design, Testing, and Optimization of Trading Systems - Pardo Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom - Tharp They're all good in their own way and each will help...

Which is why I said, " IF you are using a FIXED close to your sessions..." You can simply make the close of your session an INPUT, and you will not need "different EZL Signal/Strategy files for the vast array of symbols to track due to the different closing time." To the OP...

The YM and the DJI are most certainly DIFFERENT figures. They track one another but there is premium in the futures contract. You should calculate your own pivots each day. This isn't something you want to be lazy with. I've seen a lot of auto-pivot indicators, and I've yet to see one that...

The right way to do this, if you are using a fixed close to your sessions, such as close of stocks at 4PM EST or futures at 4:15PM EST is this: If Time = 1600 then begin sell next bar at market; buytocover next bar at market; end; In other words, find the time of the last bar of the...

Two Fed Presidents said they may have to raise rates later this year if the economy shows continued strength and to combat inflation. That simple...

That is true. If you meant truly automating your strategies and having them filled in a Tradestation brokerage account, that will not be available until 8.2 is released. However, the strategies can be written in TS Easy Language and shipped elsewhere, as AC3 pointed out...

That should be a simple enough question to answer since I have no idea what prosuite is. Tradestation has everything you need to adequately and properly backtest forex trading strategies. Best of luck and let me know if I can be of assistance...

There are obvious problems with automating any strategy, most particularly not being able to tell a computer everything your eye can see. However, it is quite possible, from experience, to write strategies that hold up in real-time. I cannot say whether they will work forever, no one can know...

What you can gauge from the out of sample results not matching is that your system is not yet robust enough. It should perform in a similar fashion, although rarely identical. I would recommend using more data for out of sample. I don't know if your data is limited, but I would try to get...

First of all, good luck! The system looks fine and could be very tradeable (sp?), but much more information is required... 1) Is this the same system applied to each of these equities? If so, why and how did you choose those stocks? Does the system work on other stocks also? Etc. etc...

I don't know what else to say, but why do you idiots post this stuff? Does it really get you off? You're NEVER gonna be right, do you hear that, NEVER gonna be right! Quit wasting posts and wasting normal traders' time with this garbage...

Jake, If you read through these forums very often, you'll notice a lot of big egos (most for no reason) who love to try to shoot down new traders and laugh at them. That makes them feel bigger, I guess. Real advice is to read books, like one poster said, as many as you can. Watch the...

The OP said this: I have a friend in NYC who started trading about 2 years ago and learned to trade through a mentor. He currently has to pay some % to this mentor guy for a period of x years. Now that he is able to trade successfully he is teaching others how to trade, and making a...

Where did you get those groups?

Tradebolt shut down.

Why do people do this?

Wrong again on all accounts. Don't worry about it.

A. You're wrong. B. I love the positive/constructive energy you bring.

You're right about all of that although I would point out that long only is not necessarily a bad strategy just because the last 40 years have seen stock increases. It is the inherent nature of stocks to go up in price as earnings go up. This is not the case for currencies, commodities or...
