Nonsense. The tacit communication referred is based on the fact that good players, once they recognize another players as good will tend to avoid big confrontations with that opponent. And where they identify a poor playr they will do the opposite. The trading vs poker analogies only work up...

Heads up play is quite mathematical. I know some online pros and they use betting patterns, board texture and timing tells to determine their best course of action in terms of expectation. So decisions to bluff, call, raise or fold are more quantitative than you think. So given that environment...

:::Sighs::: How old are you? But you never said that before. Anyway, my point still hold true IMO. After all: - You HAVE multicharts and are weighing whether to dump it. That IS NOT the point of this thread. - You are not considering whether to GET multicharts. That IS the point of...

Hmmn, I wonder whether you've posted here by mistake. This is not a Multicharts support thread. I recommend that you go to the Multicharts support forum on their website (it is quite active), contact their support people directly or, alternatively, seek out the Multicharts users thread on this...

No, you could use anything that can handle intra-day and eod data. that said, I generally encourage people to avoid Tradestation when they have a choice. It has too many limitations. If you browse this and other threads those limitations will become readily apparent. But hey, it might be right...

Hi, There's no reason why you can't, aside from it being tricky, apply intra-day meta-strategies strategies on top of an eod of system. In Tradestation it's called looking inside the bar. I haven't asked whether Tradersstudio would have that but I assume it would, or you could simulate it in...

You've been saying this for several days now so you're probably running out of time to do whatever you planned to do. I've been mulling what you've been trying to say about UI and have been trying to think of a non-trivial and serious application with an interface that is so intuitive that...

I am a user and developer of systems using this product too. The key point to remember here is that robustness is more important than outright performance. In a market like we have right now, that IMO, isn't a friendly one for EOD systems I'd say that 12% of perfect is solid performance...

I don't know whether this has been replied to but I'll have a go. IMHO, while an ensemble can be set up and run you're gonna struggle if you can't write code. Why? Well, the ensemble is only as good as the components (child systems) from which it is made. So, should you climb the learning...

I wouldn't disagree with that remark. That's why i was refering to denoising. The logic being that if there is information to be extracted wavelets are a decent basis by which to approach that. Thx D

It depends on what you're trying to do. But surely the information utilized as part of a strategy based upon bang up to date information must tie to some degree with information from the past. Therefore, denoising is useful assuming there is useful information out there to be found. The more...

This is an interesting point. Tradersstudio haven't rushed out version 3 though I do have version 2.6 and there are later betas which I don't have access to. Hopefully, version 3 will hit the ball out of the ground. But it will be a major step forward for them so I kind of anticipate at least...

Can you explain this? You've lost me. Since when has size of user base been directly correlated with relative product quality? I recommend you go back through this thread. I think this subject has been touched on before. You do bother to read and inwardly digest what people have to say, I...

Agreed. I tried out Multicharts while I was still coming to terms with what "good" means. I think you exaggerate the work involved. You do not need to regression test the product. Unless you think everyone else out there "thinks" it has a robust and capable backtest engine but are, in fact...

You have a point but don't think this is an "excuse" as you choose to call it. Anyway, I wrestled with this and decided to go with Tradersstudio's terms based on this reasoning: "Is the value of a genuinely good product worth more to me than the cost of return should I not like it?" Of...

Ok, I'll set aside some time to take a look though I must confess that I'm disinclined to buy a book on a subject that I expect is not applicable to my mode of operation. In the meantime, seeing as you seem to be well informed regarding PnF and it's applications, would you mind giving a...

Since when has a platform crafted, tested & analyzed, funded and executed a trading strategy? In fact, I would say that most platforms as delivered are not up to the job as I would specify it. That's why I look for open extensability so that I can implement additional infrastructure to...

Well, I wouldn't call a survivor a charlatan especially if he's bagged a sack of gold and I'm scraping the barrel;) And what most if not all of these survivors have in common is that they've hit upon good risk control before getting blown away. It's the risk control that protects both the...

TA has no predictive value - agreed. Given the huge mass of people applying TA to the markets it is highly unsurprising that some have done well and, becoming so confident in their abilities are described as, or consider themselves to be, artists, magicians or whatever. Its just survivorship...

Good players don't collaborate. Those that do are inferior players by and large, hence the collaboration. That's a relative term. There are a few strong limit Holdem bots out there (see Polaris Project) as part of research programs. The ones I suspect you refer to are capable of eeking out a...
