    Stern: "Laker's a lock"

    Awwww cummon guys, Lakers ain't gonna let no little pissant Minnysoatuh team take 'em down! And any team that desperately resorts to hack-a-shaq as a main strategy deeeeserves to lose. BTW it is sad to watch a 7' 330 pound man whine like a little baby when he didn't get a couple fouls...

    Bob's Bias

    I wish you good fortune, but please re-read "Fooled by Randomness." Seriously, do you really have an edge from this brief morning market scan and "gut feel", or has it been mostly luck and wishful thinking? Well, if you do have an edge - Keep posting, 'cause we all gonna be rich!!! :cool:

    Quantitative Strategies Books?

    You might have a look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471484857/qid=1085582592/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/103-7793847-9927812 and the two by Vic Niederhoffer have plenty of those sort of ideas.

    Bob's Bias

    Hang in there. Bob'll get it right tomorrow! Heck, things could even turn around today. Nobody can call 'em right 100%. Not even T-Rex or Trader Brad! :D

    Longshot running scared!

    Your car is faster than my tractor. But my tractor can grade a road, dig a hole, load gravel... Most any compiled programming language will be faster than the WLD script interpreter. But the many many built-in backtesting specific functions, optimizer, NN, Montecarlo, Portfolio Testing...

    What's wrong with the big boys?

    Because buying a contract at an X MA cross, on a 5 minute bar when Stochs hit Y, after 10:30, using an ATR entry...etc, etc., isn't really much of a "system". Sure, it worked last year and seems to be working now but are you just fooling yourself with a curve-fit? Most likely. And take that...

    Backtesting Software

    Turok, Okay. I'll buy that. I test and trade all stocks with enough liquidity on the Naz, NYSE, AMEX - the list is something like 5000-6000 stocks - and over 10 or 20 years of EOD data, speed hasn't been a problem. But that is EOD. I can see where intraday stuff might jam you up. I also...

    Backtesting Software

    If you are talking about WL as an automated trading engine, then maybe I agree. But WLD is a general purpose backtesting/programming system (Delphi Pascal). You can even interface to other systems/languages with COM. Other than possibly some speed issues and lack of tick data support...

    It's all over for NYSE

    Sorry, but that's funny as heck! :D No, I'm not laffing that you are losing money to those jackals. Keep on givin' 'em hell!

    Backup Power and cable modem

    I use the Direcway satellite dish (2-way) for internet and trading. This is only because I have to. I can't get cable or DSL where I live and a phone modem will only run about 24k. It has been fairly reliable the last year or so, but the "latency" and occasional weather-related issues would...

    Off-Topic Temporary Thread

    Chris, it may be irritating but it's Baron's site. And it is frequented by many real traders and plenty of wannabees. Go ahead and pay for sponsership for a few months and see if your hit count/subs goes up enough to make it worth it. You could do worse than advertising on ET. Just a thot.

    do you believe "Scientist" has "over $100k" in his trading account?

    Well, I guess you did say almost fluently!

    Option Analysers

    PH's stuff is pretty darn good for freebies. Try his Excel options risk grapher. http://www.hoadley.net/options/options.htm Edit: The strategy graphing tool used to be free and fairly useful. Looks like he only has a less-powerful trial version now. Oh well, might still be worth a...

    Elementary Fourier analysis

    I just don't see frequency transforms doing much good on what is essentially noise. Are the markets cyclical? Maybe, but the periods and amplitudes constantly shift do to whatever economic, demographic, political, terrorist...whatever, forces are pushing/pulling the most. IOW you are still...

    Need an Answer

    Sure. I started with $100 and quickly ran that up to $125. Down to $109 now tho. These drawdowns are tuff! Okay, if you are serious and you aren't just another LongShot alias then I'd say "YouGottaBeKiddingMe!"... :confused:
