    I wrote an algorithm that will give you a stock that will make .5% the next day...BUT

    I didn't say I know the win rate. I said I can accurately pick above 70% of the time a stock at end of day today which will at some point in time the next day gain 0.5% The algorithm is correct in picking a stock 70+ percent of the time. Yes that is exactly what i'm saying, I need the...

    I wrote an algorithm that will give you a stock that will make .5% the next day...BUT

    I have my algorithm tend toward higher volume stocks so I don't think spread will be too much of an issue, but I will modify my algs to take into account bid/ask. Yes, this is my goal to test against a more substantial and inclusive data set. Thx so much for your advice.

    I wrote an algorithm that will give you a stock that will make .5% the next day...BUT

    That is why i think my approach is very different and that is my aim. My situation is that I need more data to analyze. The data alone will be in the terabyte range, but on top of that; to analyze the results and save the results will take terabytes more along with a tremendous amount of...

    I wrote an algorithm that will give you a stock that will make .5% the next day...BUT

    Thank you for advice: 1. I have done analysis for 2006-2010 and always am about %70 percent and in some cases go extended periods of time with 90% 2. These are essentially day trades. In my simulations, I analyze stock data at the closing bell and then buy at closing. The stock is then...

    Yah, tickData is insane on the prices.... It's hard to describe without going into too much detail. I assume what I am doing is too good to be true (I have a few algorithms that appear to give good results), but if it is not, I want to first test if 100% then apply it in real life and then...

    I wrote an algorithm that will give you a stock that will make .5% the next day...BUT

    That is the thing, I need more complete data to see how often .5% is gained before it lost...because while I know it is likely it will hit .5%; they typically do hit below 5% throughout the day and then somewhat recovering Yes, I actually have infinte data sets in that the algorithm for...

    Im trying to get access to all tick by tick or at least minute by minute data for the NYSE, Nasdaq and AMEX to run my simulation engine against a more complete dataset.... Do any of you guys take and analyze your own data programatically?

    Lol yah, Currently im trying to analyze the likelihood of it hitting the .5% before going below .5% (my cutoff point). Unfortunately, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...but i've been writing and tweaking the algorithms for 3 years... In the next few months im going to test...

    First off, my background is not economics or related to stock it all; it is Applied Physics and Computer Science; so any naivety comes in regard to economics from pure ignorance. I'm currently using yahoo stock quote API for datafeeds for acquiring approximately minute by minute data for all...

    I need a source for real time tick by tick stock data

    I need a source for real time tick by tick stock data which I can't put into a database and analyze. I currently am using yahoo stock API and that is a joke. I don't care how much it costs per month for the service. Also, is there a source for historical tick by tick data for the NASDAQ...
