Happy to look at what you have but I petitioned the administrator to delete the entire thread with the promise that I would not start another one if that was done. This thread doesnt look good for anyone... least of all me at this point.

In their demo account yes. With actual executions, no. So you didn't trade it BoWo (that's my new name for you.)

LOL.

Ironically, we programmed a system to trade opening gaps on the opening tick in TradeStation EasyLanguage. TS couldn't handle it so we went to C#. If you think you're doing this in TradeStation it ain't gonna work. (as you admit Superbands isn't tradable you sort of know that somewhere in your...

Solicitation? I think you don't know what the word means... so apparently know you don't know what does. Did you read the entire first post Beau? Because I think you focused in on one thing to the exclusion of everything else and fucked up the whole thread. Congrats.

And which tick does Superbands execute on Beau?

Yes I think you don't trade. 50 pages in Word? All the good programmers I know write their code in Word. ROFLMAO.

No I didn't tell anyone to follow the system. i said here's an idea let's learn how to do a backtest of this idea. Why do I need to present a backtest for that? I think you're confused about what the purpose of the thread was. Again, it was to do a backtest and to discuss the issues...

Which one? 930 or primary market open? It's not a "yes, it's designed to do that question." Which one?

I have found your posts very useful and you've done a great job trying to shepherd this thread along a constructive path. However, the current topic is just wrapping up this failed thread... nowhere left to go with it. I thought it would be useful to show people how to develop systems from...

It tells you something about our work culture here that someone who, 6 months ago didn't know what a bid / ask spread was (who is now daytrading profitably 19 days out of 20 btw) can walk in the door this morning and having read the ET thread on the train can tell me I was "acting like a 10 year...

Lol. 3 minutes after she goes to work googling him I hear hysterical laughter from her computer and muttering about "an extra from the Sopranos".

Self control is not one of my strong points lol.. I said no more posting but this is a legit question. "If you don't have a lot of capital to begin with, you have to allocate a large percentage to a single trade. " You MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST have enough money that you DO NOT overtrade...

Ok I know I said no more... but this does need to be said... to bwolinsky: Hey Beau (seriously?) of course I googled you days ago... or rather one of my TA's did when she read your posts and said "who is this idiot?" I said good question and 5 minutes later she discovered: -You live in...

It has been gently suggested to me by some friends that this thread isn't a constructive use of my time.. nor am I doing anything actually that constructive as evidenced by my juvenile bwolinksy post last night. i have to admit, this is true. rather than drag this on, let me bullet point...

We're closer than you think. My mantra is "quantify everything", but in the end some art remains. I disagree that art is just subjective about feelings etc.. but its possible we just have a semantic difference here. i'm writing a massive post that will probably be my last here and will...

Well, first of all, I think we accomplished some things here that would not make this thread a total waste even if I swept it off into the complete art direction. Agreed? However, I understand your concern and the possibility you feel misled so let's address what I mean by Art. If you want...

bwolinsky i have been reading your posts carefully, in spite of the sound advice from the board to ignore you. i am pretty certain you have no actual trading experience and your knowledge seems to be heavily based on the CFA prep materials (would it surprise you to find out I know that? it...

nice trading. And you ARE trading... Without really understanding your risk. Be careful. Markets punish hubris.

Dollar neutral at inception. No adjustment for volatility or beta, if that's what you're asking. Hard to give advice on position sizing since risk is so undefined with this system. My sense is that if your entire trading capital was deployed in this idea that 10% would be FAR too much...
