    Algorithmic trending strategies

    OK, no problem. The quote is a rephrasing of a view expressed in an excellent trading blog by someone I have immense professional respect for (who I won't identify, to avoid this thread becoming a personal attack on anyone other than me!). I think the view is challenging. However, I...

    ROBOT autotrading futures (through IB Gateway)

    I know this is an old thread (and so apologise for joining the class after everyone has already left the room! ... but I can see the professor is still at the front gathering up his lecture notes ...), but it's fascinating and I have some questions ... Forgive me if all my questions achieve...

    Controlled data-mining?

    IMO, before further investigating any such claim (i.e. “market does better of sunny days”), as a first step try to establish a sound, rationale, interpretation consistent with your own beliefs of how markets work, that would allow the claim to be true. If you can’t, look no further...
