If EasySignal ever ditched the ability to chart on one-second, I would ditch them in a heartbeat. I NEEEEEEED it! As to what the alleged prose use, WTF do THEY know? Are THEY struggling to supplement paltry Social Security and corporate retirement all on their own, with barely a figurative...

If the OP has any math background it might do him SOME good thinking about the assumptions behind the conception of each type of time series. Going any deeper could easily cost him a year's progress toward his goal. I know it cost me at least that much.

Indeed. Time series analysis was my first foray into TA nearly forty years ago. That was long before I realized that the Holy Grail of trading is in fact a stained soggy old paper coffee cup. Transform analysis (Fourier and Laplace). Kalman filtering. Sadistical analysis. A little bit of...

Don't waste your time. There's nothing there. Been there myself. Look for pure price patterns.

My first reaction was to put you on ignore. Then I thought to myself, "I have tried to suck my own dick, maybe sucking ass has something to offer." So I ask you, as an expert, do you recommend it? Now you are on ignore and I will never know.

It's called a kleptocracy. And it's based on kleptonomics.

Thanks for expressing your appreciation. My childhood hero was the 50's matinee short feature actor Joe McDoakes. I am related to the substantial Southern matron of a certain age who says "All my life I wanted to look like Liz Taylor, and now I do!"

Those of us who do well enough to at least stay in the game have our treasured secrets. They are simple secrets, to be sure, which is part of their robustness. They are also often absurd, which is part of their secret. Now every now and again some neofight trader here will randomly chance upon...

ET cost me at least five wasted years on my path to failure.

You are right. It's not a business. It's an IQ test.

Are you optimizing systems for trading intraday?

Please excuse my ignorance, but doesn't using a cable modem internet provider which assigns you a new IP address at each logon doing the same thing?

I optimize with the previous six months' data at the end of each week and use that result for the following week. So it is kind of like a moving average. It is mostly old data, but it has enough new to start factoring in optimization creep.

Josh, thanks very much for introducing yourself. I'll read up on what you have to offer.

Thanks. Will look into it.

Interesting. Thanks to all.

Thanks, guys. If it is internet it must have been local or nearly so to IB, because my connections to other places were fine.

Thanks, Bob, I have connectivity redundancy also. Primary is cable, backup is wirelsss. Congratulations on the neutrality of your system. Must be a comforting feeling. Ordinarily I wouldn't be so pissed. My systems generally stop out quickly, or run all day. This outage was in that never-never...

Pissed off today at a TWS outage and looking for the next best choice for a futures broker for a backup. And yes, it is OK to say IB might not have been the best first choice. An no, I am not a chronic IB basher or shilling for another broker. Thanks.

Thanks. I'm back up. If you don't mind saying, who do you use as a backup to IB? Been with them over ten years and this is the first time I got pissed off enough to think about a backup. You can guess that I was in a dicey trade. Thanks.
