ok in for a bit...lets see if you are right.

Sushi or cut-bait? nevermind... Mephisto - thanks for the response...So, referring back to the 2401 that prof posted and the exit he took at 14:23, I am guessing the divergence then was that the second consecutive prime histo oscillation was a LH (not the price, but the histo level), and...

Ok, that explains it. I was wondering all day how you managed to ride moves for extended periods given the frequent oscillations that occur. Anyway, understood now that its only relevant with a PPF. However, one point I'm still missing is the divergence/convergence aspect. I reread the...

I'm sure I must have overlooked a rule or by-law, but what allowed you to stay in the trade you took at 2:08 (approx.) through the hist oscillation that occurred at 2:17? Resulted in a major difference in points earned (approx. ~20 vs. ~10 if you exit at the first oscillation)... Thanks for...

its pretty simple, the dollar is tanking and probably will continue to tank now that the fed is printing money openly and buying t-bonds....oil and especially gold are going to move inversely to the dollar and will likely shoot quite a bit higher over the next week. we will see, maybe i'm...

I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue..... Actually, I picked a bad day to go short comex full size gold contracts. I think i went short at about 2pm....was making a tidy little profit, thought gold had broken the key trendline in the 890-900 range....and BOOM What an expensive 30...

Problem Solved ... I suspected I was doing something stupid, and my suspicions were confirmed. I was still running against the 03-09 contract, which of course doesn't have a lot of volume. As soon as I switched to the 06 contract, it appears to work. TraderGuy thanks for posting the...

Hi Folks, I am encountering an issue and wondering if anyone else has encountered it or if I am just missing something simple. The problem I'm having is that my "2401" Volume charts seem to have far fewer bars than the ones I am comparing to here (for the same time period). The chart...

ezbentley -- its funny you should mention Amibroker. The strategy i developed that blew up NT was one i originally developed in Amibroker. It is the only strategy that I've managed to develop that seems to work consistently over years, as opposed to just taking advantage of intermediate term...

Hmmm that is interesting, but I'm going to guess you are just under the threshold. Maybe it doesn't grow linearly...not sure, but I think I was able to scale to 100+ instruments. However, that being said, I am interested in knowing if hardware can solve this issue. I would just send over...

So, I had a strategy that basically "Scanned" all the instruments in the SP500 each day, adding a day bar and a minute bar (so up to 1000 total adds). Basically, during backtesting I would watch the nt process memory utilization just shoot up to 2 gigs or so pretty quickly, and the backtest...

Heech- Greatly appreciate the feedback - this addresses the exact problem I'm having. I only use market orders, but even so, with a multi-instrument, multi-day strategy, it does not rebuild the positions consistently enough to be trustworthy (may be a result of my particular entry criteria...

I am a ponzi

This idea seems to make a lot of sense.

Well, i will be watching the Fib retracement levels off the recent early Jan high. Looks like the 62% will be at around DOW 8100....if she busts through that, i might be more of a believer that we could be looking at an extended move up. Otherwise, i'll try to catch the reversal early.

Thanks for the responses everyone! Heech -- I think you hit the nail on the head, as far as what would work best for me. A solution compatible with NT would be ideal, since I'm already using it. The problem i have primarily encountered up to this point is NTs inability to...

Seems reasonable to me...I will be watching to see what happens tomorrow.

Great question, this is something i've been wondering as well. What is a reasonable "good performance" target for someone successful in this range?

If the employment report ends up being a decent positive surprise this morning, I can see things going that way. That is quite a big "if", though. If it comes in under 500k jobs lost, I will probably take a long position. Not expecting that, however...

yeah, haven't been running it long enough to be certain. It works backtested on historical data, and has worked live for the last month, but I believe it is predicated on specifics of current market dynamics and could change any day (or could continue for 6-18 months or longer). I really don't...
