Well, at least you've not been sucked into the evangelical heart of this nonsense...you temper your apparent belief with caution, an optimistic sign. Patterns in charts, Gann or whatever are spurious anomolies in the multivariatem, multifractal world of the market. Your post hints that you...

"Treasury dumping" would lead to a lower Dollar causing the fed to defend with higher rates. At least that's my understanding. Controlled devaluation can be a good thing. Uncontrolled devaluation is not and that's what the Fed would want to prevent.

I have not been following these technologies closely so my answer here is heavily caveated... I would expect that the majority of these technologies will be available to buy by then, yes. However, I never buy the first wave of products for price reasons. I'm not recommending that you wait...

You're right but some technological milestones are more important than others. I think you should heed his words if you have the luxury of time on your side.

I think your failure to outline either the breadth or depth of the problem you alluded at the outset undermines the attempt to elevate yourself to the level of detached analyst studying an unusual bacterial culture in a petri dish... I would council you against your planned consultation...

Yes...5 or maybe 6 characters more would just hit the spot;)

:::faint cry from the unseen distance::: ...No You Shouldn't....:)

I usually find that "thinking men" prefer to communicate in clear and concise terms. To do anything else is both wasteful and obfuscative. ...There's an implicit conceit in your remarks that I find distasteful. I hope the impression I'm getting is wrong...

I believe that Quantdeveloper isn't full fledged in the way I thnk you mean. QH will be building on it to bring it up to a level competitive with other products aimed at larger hedgefunds. That's the attraction of of QD...a stable and fairly scalable fasttrack into a marketplace QH want a piece...

People, Government, religious or political ideology? I sense a readiness to leap to the defence of "something"... One thing is for sure. Nations like Iran that think that they can play the global game (post cold war) via. the media, are utterly naive to the true nature of the game they're...

Larry Williams isn't a fool and what this tells me, if true, is that Krutsinger sells low value stuff publicly and does high value work for consulting clients. Nothing wrong with that as long as people are wise enough to understand what they're being offered. Whether he's developed, from...

There's no shame in going down the commercial system path as long as you get your prirorities right when specifying the system. IMO, for a trading system the key core elements are, in order of importance: * Motherboard * Memory spec and configuraton * Disk subsystem and config * CPU *...

I totally rebuild my system every 2-3 years. The main reason I do it is because: * I demand the best components (within reason). Buying the parts myself makes the price of the best components justifiable. BTW, the best components aren't always the most expensive... * To save on cost - See...

Don't have experience of AMI I'm afraid. I think there are posts on these boards that do compare them and TradersStudio comes out favourably in most of those comparisons.

I don't want to start debating the merits of this or that risk managemrnt strategy too much. However, your technique seems wedded to a belief that trends really do exist, semingingly regardless of volatility, and that the predictive valure of your indicators is more than negigable. I see...

Don't mean to break your stride angry but maybe this thread needs to get back on track... The riginal question was based around software for strategy testing, with a preference for Tradestation... To be blunt I think Tradestation is yesterday's product. Doesn't mean it's terrible but there...

Fair enough. I just have problems with assertions that haven't been validated. Neet's pronunciations regarding his "method" have a very strong whiff of luck to me. Doesn't mean I'm right either, but people should treat read his initial post and consider it in a more sceptical light before moving...

I gauarantee you that if you make that trade continuously going forward with the same support from your indicators of choice you will get crushed. Enjoy your success while it lasts.

Agreed, however what I'm not clear on is the best way to detrend my data, to facilitate analysis, in the first place. Should I create detrended copies of my historic data or detrend the data on the fly as part of the backtest? This leads me to another question. Are there easylanguage...
