Hi, Does anybody have experience with these guys in term of using their historical intraday data? Im looking at getting some to use with Ami as IQ data only has 2 years for US equities. Thanks. Nizar.

Hi, To those that autotrade intraday systems with AmiBroker through I.B.: *Where did you get your historical data from for backtesting (Im specifically after equities)? *How far back does the I.B. backfill go for 1-min data? Did you need to use this: http://ibcollector.com/Default.aspx...

Dareminator, Just a question about this system, I read about it in James Altucher's book, i dont really get how it works... Going by what is said on the link you provided, it would seem that maximum profit would be 1% and maximum holding time would be 2 bars. But the stats in the book...

Hi, Does anybody here trade stocks intraday via a mechanical system? eg. 1-min or 5-min bars Where did you get your historical data for backtesting? A couple of years of 1-min data for US stocks and overseas bourses is what Im looking for. Thanks, Nizar.

Tenfore have tick data going back almost 5 years for all the pairs which I require. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have sent Tenfore an email. $20/month per pair is quite reasonable I think.

Hi everyone, I require historical tick data for several forex pairs. Does anybody know where I can get this from? Ideally it should go back several years. Has anybody looked at these guys? http://ratedata.gaincapital.com/ Forextickdata.com have only 5 second data at best for...

Hi PFT, Interesting thread. Amazing that you got your hedge fund off the ground using unaudited results. I didnt think that could be done. Can i ask you a few questions please coz Im curious: What were your returns like, what was your worst year, what was maximum drawdown (peak to...

Thanks for your responses guys. I will check them both out. Just on the above, does anybody else have any recommendations on hosting servers to hook up automated trading systems through?? Dareminator -- So how does it work exactly? The systems reside in the private server and then fires...

Hi, I am highly considering purchasing OpenQuant for the development of automated trading systems. The system Im initially looking at automating is a high frequency (50-80 trades a day) scalping system that trades EUR/USD, AUD/JPY and possibly GBP/JPY. Now which ECN broker (not a deal...

There are always trends. Sometimes you just have to look at a smaller timeframe to find them. Look at GBP/JPY 5minute chart and you will know what i mean :D

Hi everyone, I want to test and develep automated trading systems to trade the forex market. Execution I want it to be done via EFX, which by my understanding, both can do this. Which product is better overall and why? Note that I have no experience in programming, and this will need...

Hi Hook N. Sinker, Thanks for your response. Yes you are correct, as average losing trade is about 2 months, and the average winning trade goes for 6-7 months, the system needs time to work. You cannot test a longterm system on a short timeframe and expect results. The system probably...

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I have also heard great things about these guys.

Drasfs, The system , though it hasn't proven itself in real-time (a longterm method can't be expected to show results in a short time frame), it has been extensively backtested and correct validation methods have been applied, so it definately works. As to forex, I haven't placed a single...

Did he say he wanted to live on his trading profits?? I personally think you need 200-500k to live comfortably off trading income. So I say keep working at the bank, and with the $50k trade for capital growth. Reinvest everything, maybe even add to the initial capital on an annual basis. A...

Hi everyone, In October i just started trading a system live. This system trades equities long-only, and its strategy is long term trend following. The system is designed to take advantage of the long term historical bullish bias that the stockmarket has shown. Due to the recent...
