So, how is your experience with Deltix coming along? Curious - since I tried many software products and found ALL of them very deficient for any serious work. However, have never tried Deltix since its so expensive for individuals.

thanks, I think you can code similar stuff in excel or a platform like ninja. To clarify, I don't have the data - was just curious about your app.

this thread was posted on 5th (Saturday). Assuming OP went "all in" on 4th market close, he would have bought ES at a price of roughly 1685. Currently ES is 1650 = 35 points = 1750$ DD per contract. Another illustration that only amateurs start threads like this and go all-in :) ET...

Kevin, Thats a very nice exposition linking research to practical trading applications. Most of the time, this linkage can be complicated to understand even when I read and understand a paper. Thank you very much. Much Appreciated! :)

Yes I found them very useful indeed. Thank you so much. I am going to print a portion of that and stick on my work space. I have another partner who works with me (as a team) - I am going to make him read your story and discuss the learning with him. :)

can you please expand on this? Thanks.
