You are possibly looking at tens of thousands of $$$ for what you are asking in terms of data. Amibroker is the best for the money and can do portfolio level testing easily. I don't understand those complains about the language. The best way to develop systems is to have a computer...

After looking at his CV, this guy has no working experience whatsoever and he is studying polymers in Boston. More importantly he has no formal education in economics or fianance. Yet, he appears as an expert in those fields. Exept if I am missing something then I concede in advance.

This is the natural evolution of service oriented economies. Manufacturing has to be evenly distributed around the world or tariffs must be imposed in proportion to industrial output to support those who have lost their jobs. China produces a lot of durable goods but buys very little services...

There is more to turtle technique than the rules of the breakouts. If anyone thinks that the turtles who are still managing funds, and there are maybe more than 10 of then around making consistent returns, relied solely on those rules, they are living in an illusion.

If you think that making money trading, consistently, is difficult try to open a new restaurant or any other type of small retail business. You will find out that you need an edge, regardless of what you are doing. Instead of spending your Sunday mornings trying to guesstimate and argue...

Another unprovoked attack from Mike805. Continue... I said that I use two brokers and when I place the same order in one of them it prints and when I place in the other it does not. I said idiot Mike that this is due to internalization. What is your problem and your constant attacks that I...

No, you are a nut-job for asking people in a PM to reveal names and then going public calling them a nut-job because they refused to satisfy your stupid demands. If I accuse a specific broker of mishandling orders in a PM and then you come and paste it here I may be asked to produce evidence...

Wishing you well and the best of health.

Why don't you use a print statement to find out what values the function generates?

Here is a proof of precognition:D

I like the dogmatic way some people present their own views. How do you know there aren't people who experience precognition, consistently? Maybe there are.

It is because you are going the reverse way. Your in sample should be before the crisis and your out of sample the crisis period. It is highly likely that if a system was optimized to produce good results through a terrible period, it will produce as good or better results through better...

If you are daytrading/scalping, you are a target at any size. You always have a counterparty and it is usually your own broker. Don't listen to those that say you are not because they have little experience with the actual markets. Most brokers internalize orders. I use two brokers, one of them...

This question is answered in probability theory. Probability theory doesn't deal with "true". I don't know how you make these things up. Confidence intervals is the answer. "True" is the subject of religion and metaphysics.

Are you talking about the results of a specific system or in general? If you have a specific system and you can provide monthly returns for at least 3 years I can run a bootstrap and tell you if there is evidence against randomness.

All the US banks I know of you have to walk in to send a wire or send in a fax in some cases. NO online system for international wires for security reasons. Only big business accounts are provided with an interface for their backoffice to do wires. Which bank are you using?

Is this a competition only for a week? Do I understand correctly from previous results that in the past two competitions only one trader in the first and only two traders in the second finished with positive equity?

He also nailed it well (if he held on to his position): http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3319501#post3319501

112.40 now, Dow +153, amazing... I hope you held on to your position. Good call (on hindsight). I missed this one. I read in Twitter the Harris' blog talking about early signs of a rebound this morning and of a high prob. for a positive close but I discounted the analysis.

What am I losing? He went long yesterday. He is averaging down to get out intact. Are you well?
