    OpenTick Out of Business ?

    If they've been doing major work behind the scenes, and still are, disabling their DNS offline from time to time is gonna happen. Making a causal connection between DNS resolutions and business continuity is silly IMO.

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    Data mining is a means of searching for patterns and relationships in data. A fitness function is used to highlight those parts of the data that are fit (of interest). Te term is most often used in conjunction with wide ranging searches numbering in the tens of thousands. Neural networks are...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    You're labouring under false pretences if you think that either Tradersstudio or Trading Blox may support any kind of data mining functions. They're productivity and research tools only. Stretching the definition to an extreme one might say that the productivity boost might enable data...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    Multicharts has this problem but chose not to address it. I think you're right to look at redesign. Without turning this into a workshop on TS planned RT design can I ask how you propose to address the twin requirements of a tick handling application: - Ability to handle and store symbols in...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    Yes, this doesn't reflect very well on the management and operation control of the company. Fortunately for them, the application is solid at what it was designed for, so delivery of a real-time version isn't a huge issue for me. But it probably is for the macho-men out there who believe the...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    I understand you can backtest on intra-day data but the product doesn't yet take real-time data-feeds - that's in beta. I suspect you may be wondering about using telechart data with Tradersstudio. is that right? I'm shooting from the lip a bit here but telecharts can export it's data to csv...

    Murray new S&P500 and T-Bond Systems

    You should do some research before taking aim my friend. The guy you're attacking is one of the few commerical operators generally respected around here. Frankly, you look a fool with these remarks. Yes, most commercial systems are a waste of time. But so are most systems, period. And those...

    What do you think of TradersStudio?

    Trading Blox stands out amongst EOD products that I know of with it's pricing. Most of the functinality it bases that price upon is relatively commodotized. Given that I would say tradersstudio's pricing is more realistic though it is, and i expect will be, rising as time passes. Trading Blox...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    There's also Tradelink - which is free. I also get the feeling that to implement what you want you would need an open enough platform to be able to implement the functionalities that you need. Some brief thoughts: Trading Blox - Doesn't support intra-day timescales - nuff said...

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    No, I am not - unless I'm misunderstanding you. if the data generated is dynamic and has the same statistical properties as the target market (distribution etc) the simulated approximation should be a good one. Are there other elements that would be needed? I realise that no backtest is going...

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    Well, I'm thinking here about generating more data for backtest purposes.

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    Interesting. Do you intend to add more "reality" by having your simluated market correspond to the statistical characteristics of a given target market, ie. simulate a market? I suspect, based on your approach you could do it in a way that overcomes the drawbacks of monte carlo methods. Thx D

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    I'm stepping in to this thread a little late and this post is probably quite old. But it is quite interesting. I agree with the asserion outlined above. But I also do not follow that assertion by then assuming that the markets are therefore not random. I would expect that most would agree...

    What do you think of TradersStudio?

    Hi, Like some of the others who've posted here I use Tradersstudio and have done for some time now. Like you I was advised and inclined towards Trading Blox initially and i still regard it as a quality product. But is it "quality enough" given it's price tag? I think the answer is a definite...

    BioComp Dakota with Swamp Technology

    Jack, If Jerry is guilty of hijacking a thread so is James as he didn't start this one (it is not "his"). Noone's suggesting James start his own thead so I think it's perfectly reasonable for jerry to raise his concerns here. Thx D

    BioComp Dakota with Swamp Technology

    Hi Jerry, I am another Biocomp user and consider myself quite knowledgeable with the Dakota product in particular. I don't know which biocomp product you owned previously but, going by your post above, you appear to be a victim of a misconception regarding the central functional premise of...

    Markets will correct 50% from today’s close

    Well, back when this was said I wasn't thinking in terms of a 50% drop. I was thinking 9-10K Dow probably, 8K Dow maybe. But the cascading meldown of the financial system and the economic fallout has changed all of that. I can see scenarios where, looking back, 50% will have been too...

    Trend Harmony , Updated Results

    There may be some curiosity value in that. But can you explain what a marginal increment in the dataset could reveal that hasn't already been demonstrated? While I respect people's right to ask these kinds of questions I do wish they'd stop to ask themselves the above question before doing...

    Alternative to Tradestation

    I'm a C# coder but am not familiar with Tradelink. How long has it been around? What are the differentiating objectives of the project that might make it appeal to someone like me? Also. I get the impression, from a very quick scan, that I could take one or more of the components and modify /...
