Crap. Buchanan just likes to play the bull in the china shop, but I've never seen him knock the GOP without simultaneously slapping at the Democrats. On the other hand, whenever he goes on a anti-Dem diatribe, the GOP comes off looking like angels. Only righties are clueless enough to buy...

1. Only rightwingnuts talk about "lefty conspiracy nuts". 2. Your gang did, whether you know it or not. 3. The killing isn't hilarious, but your embracing the killer is. None of you rightwingnuts want to defend Joe Scarborough? Can't say I blame you, but I couldn't resist noting...

What I find nutty is you rightwingnuts spending 8 years accusing First Lady Hilary Clinton of one fictitious killing after another, then you rapturously embrace a First Lady who actually did kill someone. It's pretty damn hilarious also. :D :D :D

You talk a lot about sucking dick. It certainly sounds like the voice of experience to me. :D :D :D

I wonder what Shays has to say about Laura Bush, who killed -- and some say MURDERED -- her high school boyfriend, who just broke up with her the day before. It was a sunny day, a dry road she was fully familiar with, she knew his car, he had the right-of-way, a stop sign in her face and still...

Slippage? Transaction fees? Buy-and-hold index?

This illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what backtesting is all about. The point of a *valid* backtest is not to "prove" a trading system so much as to attempt to disprove it. Just as a science is a series of attempts to falsify theories of a particular category, backtesting is an...

If you can't backtest it, it's not a basis for a trading system.

Sorry, those ballots have already been printed up. :D :D :D :D :D :D True, the party of pedophile protectors wasted no time naming a nobody Florida state rep as their new candidate, but will even your typical Repub-sheep check the box for Mark "let me slip the pants off your teenage son"...

So what you're saying is, AFAYK there's no such thing as a clean data source. Okie dokie. :) Anybody else know of a clean data source, free or otherwise? At least cleaner than CSI (which I have confirmed is fairly dirty, based on what Yahoo spits out).

Well, if you're familiar with spreadsheets, you can program your backtest on one of them, but I don't recommend it if you're not already familiar. Probably the best commercial program is AmiBroker. Cheap but very reliable and feature-heavy; it would be a "Best Buy" if Consumer Reports rated...

It's not the least bit surprising that you would totally miss the point. The issue isn't homosexuality, it's pedophilia. My bad: with you and the other reactionaries, the issue clearly is homosexuality. Looks like you'd be solidly in Foley's corner if he was soliciting teenage FEMALE...

Agreed. Is there a free source of stock or futures data that doesn't have those problems?

Evidently the new meaning of GOP is Guard Our Pedophiles. :mad: The Repugnicans are now officially scummier than the KKK. :p

Untrue. TA is part science. The problem is that TA includes any, and I do mean any, conclusions drawn from looking at price charts and/or volume charts, regardless of whether the conclusions are logically derived at or not. So some practitioners of TA are very scientific in their analyses...

No, I've never seen or even heard of an indicator with a 100% failure rate. How about an example? :)

TA doesn't work for everybody. Those for whom it works have done their own homework and come up with their own indicator(s) rather than rely on some cookbook formulae with little basis in reality. Those for whom TA works have probably become familiar with classic time series analysis because...

Let's not. Short-term trading: intraday or eod time frames. Mid-term trading: eow or eom time frames. Long-term trading: eoq or eoy time frames. The length of any individual trade is irrelevant. What matters is the time frame you're basing it in.

I'll take my chances with eod data. Yahoo already creates the bars for me, so I see no point in using intraday data for eod trading, especially when slippage wouldn't allow me perfect fills anyway. And not even NeoTicker can generate the indicator I'm using. It can only be done by...

It helps to know where the 14 comes from before you put too much faith in it. J. Welles Wilder, the inventor of RSI, suggested 14 because it is half of the lunar cycle and he placed great significance in including the lunar cycle as a part of trading. Without getting into the psychodynamics...
