    historical chart data

    eSignal offers backfill. Since you are using TS you might need to buy another add on product that fills the data from esignal for you. It might be cheaper to buy a new software that has this feature included, want a list? :) Or open an account with TS?

    WealthLab3 Or TradeStation7?... Help!

    Let me start by explaining the difference between basket testing and portfolio testing. When testing a basket you test one symbol after the other. MS and AB might be able to do that, TS I dont think so? WLD3 is using true portfolio level backtesting, that means it is aware of what is going on in...

    There are many ways to chart the market activity. Here I attached two very interesting methods published by two "beautiful minds" from different continents.

    Best Portfolio Backtesting Software ???

    Yes, you can backtest on tick data. I am not in favour of it since you often see bad ticks, so getting and keeping the data clean is more work then testing. Althou there is no limit in theory of the number of tick you can backtest, there seems to be a limit. One of our users developed a free...

    New Computer Needed

    Hi. Here is the link to the company where I bought the computer. No fans, the only thing that I can hear occassionaly is the harddisk. Believe me, once you have computer like that you suddenly realize that even a TFT monitor can make some noise (changed it of course). The price is high, but...

    Home made indicators anyone?

    I am glad you are back. What was the starting capital? How many percent of the equity did you invest in each signal? What about testing it for 5 years?
