Does anyone know if you can backtest with Ensign??????????

that is really suprising to hear..i bombarded them with questions,and always got a responce..did you try live chat or calling??? one of the main reasons i purchased TS was due to the fact that I could ask them questions LIVE as opposed to email...

Alpha,if i may..... Neet,have you ever wondered why hedge funds are called HEDGE funds,when they are predominantly directional in nature?? Alpha is closer to a market neutral hedge fund,which is a HEDGEd fund...I have made my feelings clear on the possibility of Alpha putting up the...

No disrespect Alpha,but I will call you on the "shorts reduce the volatility of a long term portfolio,without scarificing return". I havent looked at the beta of your portfolio,but I will assume its 2+ to generate 50% returns...I just dont believe the you can select a group of stocks that...

If I am not mistaken,Alfa's claim of 50% returns were for a long portfolio....There is no chance he puts up 50%+ returns on a long short portfolio..And if he can,one must truly wonder why he doesnt have 500 mil under management

If you are just starting out in options,do yourself a favor and spend $100 on nattenburg and macmillan..Then get yourself a CHEAP options calculator/simualtor... The CBOE has one for free,i am looking at OptionStar which is pretty reasonable and can operate on delayed feeds.As i am evaluating...

Lawrence,does neo integrate with any option programs???

Traders Studio has a correlation matrix but its based on the returns from the system as opposed to price correlation.I like it as i can combine all different asset classes and seek non correlated system returns

yeah,when i worked at Salomon,no intraday hedging was the mantra..not one of those traders survived the tail moves..not a one

Sharpe is OK,but i dont like any measure that penalizes you for large gains to the upside...Remember with Sharpe,the denominator is the standard deviation of returns... As I trade my own capital,I am far more concerned with my max drawdown as oppose to the volatility of my earnings.As you...

have you heard the" Bell motorcycle ad"? If you have a $10 head,buy a $10 helmet...... Amibroker costs $229...Traders Studio is $499 with LIVE tech support... You are going to be trading a $50,000 account... i think you catch my drift

have you looked at volatility based stops?

Alpha,I understand the emotional concern from people who "nned' to employ stops.I woild urge them to get their hands on a software system that can fully backtest and optimise all types of stops.I think they will be shocked at their findings. I have not come across many stop methods that...

Alpha,dot be suprised that your shorts are more technical in nature..I just bout William Oneil book,how to make money shorting stocks,and its basically a class in trndline breaks and head and shoulder tops..And this is from Mr Canslim himself!!!

I share the same experience....Ami can be a very simple charting tool with easy backtesting,optimisation amd money management.. If you feel like raisng the bar and tackling complex tasks,you better prepare yourself for a severly steep learning curve... Psytrade is 100% correct...If you...

LOL..You had me thinking for a second,but there is no doubt,i am a discretionary trader who likes a systematic approack..Ask me again tomorrow,and maybe ill flip:)

i was wondering the sme thing myself...its not like they are mutually exclusive events.... its like saying William Oneil shouldnt have IBD or charge for it since he also runs a fund.....Ditto for Ben Zacks..

thats too bad..what are you using now??

I will contact the company to see if they would sell a liscense ouright..looks like a great product

can you buy the product outright??I hate these lease plans
