    Surf report for the masses

    This comment caught my eye in passing. It flies in the face of most postings I've seen from you on these forums regarding counting vs technical analysis. I'm reading that you're a discretionary technical trader. What was all the bluster about statistical rigour (I paraphrase) in aid of? I am...

    What do you think of TradersStudio?

    This is an interesting post and indicative of two camps of people who seem to often chime in when discussing system development platforms: - Group 1: People interested in developing automated trading strategies. They are rightly interested in Tradersstudio to support that endeavour as that is...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    I suggest that you take the time to read this whole thread. Each of these ponts have been touched on previously. Regarding the form of the real-time release I expect and believe that it will be a major release of Tradersstudio and not an add-in. I don't see how real-time functionality can...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    I would encourage you to stick with TS regardless (to a point) of beefs you might have with support on any given day. Were it a vanilla, run of the mill product then, yes, classify the product & company based on responsiveness of a support guy. But given the relative merit of the product I'd...

    Yes, you can backtest spread trading strategies. That's what you mean i assume?

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    If you care to search the forums that question has been asked and answered repeatedly I think.

    I believe Tradersstudio have a real-time version due soon with an auto-execution interface.

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    Well I can't do that because I was never really able to do anything with Multicharts without it hanging or crashing. And performance was truely appalling. I reinstalled after you claimed performance was fixed. It wasn't for me... In a nutshell, I rejected multicharts when I realised that it's...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    I agree that the point is to trade but can't see why the whole point is to trade real time. I have used Multicharts and can tell you that it is an inferior product. It majors on charting and easylanguage compatibility while ignoring scalability, robustness and flexibility as drives to it's...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    R is a statistics framework so I doubt that it supports what you're asking for. I would expect that it would need to be harnessed to a backtest platform with an open API and be called from there. I think segv is a guy who rolls his own. His programming skills and experience probably go...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    Tradersstudio does have a Turtle System available. It is called "Super Turtle" but I don't know much about it. If you search the forum for it you'll find some info I think. Or go the their website and take a look. As I understand it, this system is a significant improvement over the original...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    No, I don't thnk so. Well, maybe partly. Right now the forum seems to be an extension of support. It should really be more than that which is why it is an issue for tradersstudio. A forum should be a constructive two way interface with the community. Regarding ease of learning, I'd say yes...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    I would say that the Tradersstudio user base is not insignificant. I say this because I use other products besides Tradersstudio and encounter users on other forums. The rate at which I encounter these people is what gives me that impression. What probably gives that impression is the...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    Occasionally, though my views of the product haven't been formed on the same basis as yours. We seem to be in general agreement though. Structurally and syntactically it is a Basic, of sorts, but there are echos of Easylanguage in there. I think it depends on what you emphasise as you...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    I don't know the full answer to this. Only the vendor could do that. TS Basic isn't visual basic in the way people have been referring to here. I believe that it's actually an evolved version of Basic - kind of Visual Basic without the "visual" part. Certainly, it is alot closer to VB than it is...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    Personally, I can't stomach renting a product (like Seer). If they won't sell it to me they can bugger off. I'll be noone's cash cow!

    Router - which is THE BEST?

    The only justification I can see for the Cisco router, vs the product i proposed earlier in the thread, is when the routing environment is dynamic across multiple routers. The OP hasn't made his requirements clear but Id expect that Security (highly performant) and availability are key...

    Trading software is it worth it?

    It surprises me that Omnitrader and Stratasearch are mentioned in anything like the same context. Stratasearch is very different with far loftier goals (it's more technical under the hood). To be honest, I find it rather amusing to even think of comparing the two. Strataseach outclasses it's...

    What is driving oil prices so high?

    Or even inertia.
