Hey Mark, I use QT and have searched to find how it will display pairs and to see the realtime ratio. Haven't found it. How are you seeing pairs and their ratios on Quotetracker? WB

Hello Mark, Nice profit. A question for you on why you thought this would be profitable. On the 12th, when you entered the trade, the trend was going against you. On the 14th an analyist upgraded TIN. I'm seeing this as a lucky trade, profitable because of the upgraded. I would not have...

Very nice trade. And very nice annualized return! I'm going to keep an eye on you. And thanks for sharing your trades. Walt B

Hi Adrian. Here is the quote from my post earlier this year: ========================================== To calculate the profit from the change in ratios I think this formula will work. The (% profit) = (% change in the ratios)/2 The following is from my spread sheet on recent...

Hi Keops, I don't want you think I didn't see or appreciate your help with this. It was more than I wanted to tackle at the time you posted, and now I have more time. I'm working on it today. Looks great. I will have to understand macros in Excel, then API's. Never ending learning curve...

A lot of China Mobile pairs are way out of wack. I'm concerned about the uncertainty of the stock. There seems to be news about some difficulty with competitive technology, and that would influence only China Mobile, as indicated by the large number of pairs with distorted charts, all with CHL...

And the chart for LONG SPW/SHORT LII wb

Here are two very nice charts: LONG SPW/SHORT LII LONG NTLS/SHORT USMO Walt B

Jared, the GM, is traveling. Good software, small operation. I can make allowances. What's your opinion of the pairs course? Helpful? Meaty? Walt B

I'm not making money on my PTF trades like I was several months ago. June, July, and now August have been just better than break even. In the three months earlier, I was making 3% a week. I'm I alone and missing something, or are we in pair trading doldrums? Some posters say they are...

The new Alerts feature in PTF - what does it do? I've set it up but I don't know what it does. The test email works. What I'd like is to select the pairs I'm holding, choose ratios to trigger an alert, and when those ratios are reached have PTF give an audible alert and send me an email...

That did it! Whoopee! Nothing intuitive about that solution! Thanks a zillion. Everyone. Walt B

I'm not getting anywhere with this. Glad everyone else has their problems solved, though. I have installed SQL and SQL Studio Management. I have placed my PTF files from the old computer into c:\PairTradeFinder, replacing what was there. I have opened SQL Studio Management and can't...

I'm recovering from computer technical problems. I've purchased a computer to use only for PTF. I need some help. How do I move the data base of pairs to a new computer? I want the pairs I've been using. Thanks! Walt B

Pairtrade Finder requires MS SQL to be installed. Is anyone else getting unexpected shutdowns with XP SP2? I've had PTF and SQL running ok since March, and now my computer has been out of service for a week. I think I've traced it to SQL. (Perhaps a recent MS update is causing a conflict?)...

I emailed Jared several days ago, but haven't heard. Walt B

Thanks, that helps in figuring out how to get into the trade. IB 's combo order uses share quantity ratio for entering the pair, not price ratio for exit, as I understand it. I'm still looking for a way to set a system that will automatically (unattended) close out a pair at a price ratio...

Hmmmm. Must not be, as I directly OWN the software sold to me (and it has made me thousands!) A ponzi works differently. My continuing profit does not rely on the need to find new investors. You might instead dog medicare and social security in the USA, however. Those are government...

I'll check the IB Excel API sample. Thanks. TWS is open through the trading hours as it is, so that's not a problem. Walt B
