While you have no reason to believe me because I'm posting this after the fact, but I chose to go long CMI Friday at the close, and for the past 2 days it has outperformed AAPL by ~1%. either way, you were right these past 2 days, good call - as the above poster said, I'm not sure that it's...

from some quick research i'd say ABT an Medtronic (MDT) are looking good This is pure conjecture with no basis in fact, but perhaps following their recent news on the stent, they will get upgrades from analysts. PERHAPS! ... lol, again, complete speculation with no basis on fact, but...

Hmm, CELG has had a huge run up recently (I was in it early and got out at breakeven, which I guess is better than at a loss, haha), WY looks terrible, as does FRX (they've been a lot weaker than the others) I'm going to start looking more into CELG and ABT, thanks for the post, I'll let you...

Has anyone used http://www.fusioniqrank.com/ ? What do you guys think? I believe it is run by Barry Ritholtz, of bigpicture.typepad.com

With an account as small as this maybe it'd be better to trade index etf's? Just to get a feel for trading / emotions / discipline. It might not be as exciting, take with it what you will - I've never traded futures before myself, just options and stocks.

I was going to come in and say, "I can admit when I'm wrong, you were completely right about Apple shooting up today" but after this post I really can't make myself say it, lol

Can you show a chart that goes from 2000 through today?

Are these barrier options?

Thanks, I'm going to do the exact opposite come Monday morning.

A lot of what he said is true (I believe). IE, I doubt many here believe in the Efficient Market Hypothesis. I am not sure a lot of people would also argue with the idea that volatility = risk. In addition, as has been said previously, a lot of technical analysis is completely...

It was using RS; stop was 1 below the low of the last o column how can we make this better ? I can't figure out how to program bullish support line ; I'll look into that next

My backtesting going long only using double,triple,quadruple and ascending double,triple,quaduple top breakout had approximately 1% loss for S&P 500 stocks for jan1 2007 to june5 2008. I didn't backtest going short yet. But I'm trying to see if it's possible to get a profit, stay out of low...

I think you are basically thinking of implementing an Opening Range Breakout strategy. You could just set a trailing stop.

I've never used quotetrader, but checked out the site and will give it a try soon. I've used QuoteTracker for the past year and love it

For the most part, when I used to trade with TradeKing, I had no complaints, except one time there was a MAJOR screwup which made me switch to interactive brokers: I sent a sell market order when the market was moving against me very fast. Within 30 seconds it had been executed - or at least...

How has your performance been since you started testing? Your concept is very interesting and I'm curious to how your performance has progressed as you've learned more over the past year.

If you decide to use OpenQuant, I'd suggest you REALLY look into the fills you're getting. In testing a very simple strategy using end of day data on openquant (purely for the purpose of testing the fills) I noticed buying outside of the low-high range (and specifically told it to buy on the...

Holy Grail, doesn't having your stop below the previous O column (or X column) expose you to potentially large losses (i.e. 10% or more?) Is this acceptable as part of your trading strategy? This is the one thing that's bothering me about PnF - I feel like, for my own personal trading, a...

what do you mean by S and R ? Support and resistance ? I thought that's exactly what pnf made more clear

Nice results.
