Spyder, I took this trade at 857am CST and at an entry price of 54.04 and so far, fingers crossed , have not been stopped out. DS

I like at least 100 trades with at least 25 coming from the out of sample group and going back at least 500 trading days. This is for intraday systems; can't speak for daily as I dont do that. DS

G87, I was using the wrong coefficients, so now I agree with you that NTRI was a trade today. But for some strange reason, my Tradestation code did not show the entry. All conditions were met for an entry at the open of the 930 AM bar (CST), meaning the trade should have triggered shortly...

Ya caught me; thanks. DS

mrpace- I was watching NTRI also, but did not get an entry as the MACD was never positive on my chart. DUV was exceeded on the first bar. DS

G87, I was tracking them also and did not get an entry signal either as they did not meet the conditions you mentioned, and LIFC did not show price improvement from yesterday. I did not get any sigs today. I was tracking: FORD KNDL LIFC NGPS NTRI NURO I was long PTC from...

Very helpful. I am reading the background material but as you know it runs in the thousands of pages and I am starting to understand Jack writing style. In my previous trading, I did not put much weight on volume, so I'm undergoing an attitude adjustment as well as learning this trading...

marty, I programmed them in TS. I get fairly good agreement with the results from Wealthlab but not all agree. DUV examples: ANTP by WL is 27.2 while my TS method gets 45.4. For FORD I get 195 and WL shows 193. Some others I've been following: boom 360 295 nuro 21 36 gmxr...

Here is a chart of the above trade. DS

Reentry Question: As I understand the entry setup, stocks that pass the screens and are in dry up are entered on these conditions: Time is before 11am eastern Stochastics>80 MACD difference>0 Price>yesterday's close (YC) Volume>DUV or Assuming the price,stochastic and macd...

I knew right away this was a joke based on dumya's history as seen in the attached pic. So, next time try harder to make fun of the POTUS. DS

martys, I use IB for most of my trading and use TS for backup; but I like TS for its software package and data. IB does not have historical data; so in effect, you are paying TS via the higher commissions for the software and data. I do enough trades with TS to get it "free" except for...

Thunderdog, I agree, this thread sounds like a locker room not a trading room. I may of missed it but haven't seen any numbers yet that show the degree of risk anyone takes on. DS

That did the trick. I should have known the .jar file had to go to the dir I was commanding from. Now if I rememeber how to do it, I could set an environment variable for it. Thanks for the help and thanks again for the prog; it worked very well. Doug

martys, When I type in java at the cmd I get the output you asked about. When I cut and paste the cmd for your .jar, I get: "Unable to access jarfile SpyderFilter.jar" The files I am using are your latest and I have them on my desktop. TIA for your help, Doug

martys, I know next to nothing about .jar files. When I go through the command C:>java -spyderfilter.jar, I get this error: "JAR" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Thanks for writing this as I see how it will save time. DS

I'm now in. Couldn't get in yesterday. DS

Spyder, I about half through your first journal and starting to read the "background" material. I noticed in the "background": http://groups.msn.com/JackHersheysStrategies/general.msnw?action=get_threads that a lot of the threads have deleted messages. I'm not sure which is more...

Rather than posturing using a sports analogy, how much do you risk on each trade(as % of trading capital), how many times a day do you trade, how many open trades do you carry at a time, what are the min and max number of trades you carry at a time? How did you arrive at these values? DS

As I understand the offer, you DO NOT pay data fees; you do pay EXCHANGE fees. We may be saying the same thing, but I always thought that most data providers charge two fees: First, a fee to stream the data to you-the data fee. Second, the exchange fees, of course the fees charged by the...
