Or another strategy is to seperate the process into two parts on differenet colocated servers: 1) Price acquisition and singal generation 2) Trade execution and account management. 1) above generates both real and dummy trades, perhaps hundreds per minute 2) Above filters out the dummy trades...

Yes civilization has continued for 10,000 years when one takes a macro view. But ask the opinions of the victims of the Khmer Rouge, Auschwitz survivors, Stalin's victims, the losing tribe in Rwanda, Byzantium post Palaiologus, the Argentinians during their debt crisis, the Soviets post USSR...

Your points: 1) I don't know if you personally have a psychological addiction to impending doom/salvation. Both are part of the same syndrome which responds well to CBT therapy and GAD medications. If you keep seeing one of these in the future and when it does not occur you find a different...

Exactly and precisely what kind of models did all those folks use? Far as I know that guys weren't even good algo traders yet less sophisticated CI people. To the unimformed a model is any equation containing a greek. To those comforatbe with only addition and subtraction this must appear...

Not mocking just helping folks find the right goup of like minded thinkers....intellectual and social networking is good for everyone... creative ferment leads to new inventions, discoveries and innovation. However some here seem to question your math. Do you use linear or regression...

I've been in IT for 30 years. Sure it needed fixing just like a dozen other short commings of modern computer technology. But it was hyped into the end o the world by: 1) Computer consuiltatns needing work 2) the news media needing an if it bleeds it leads story 3) THE NEED OF DISASTER...

Logically why would one with a system, method, robot or whatever that acutally generages exceptional returns ever need to offer it to the publc?

People who are addicted to a future disaster or salvation are usually suffering from mental health issues. In essence there is something so tremble in their internal world that they project this into the external world (impending doom) to avoid noticing it and having to confront it internally...

The attachment in the prior post shows the difference in range based on the 30 minute starting point: minute 00 vs. min 15. The 00 min bars tend to have higher ranges, which could alter the bar patterns and explain my difference in results.

It's not even a theory at this point...just an observation. I've only looked at a few hundred trades, so as you note it requires further measurement over more history. I'm taking the profit of the same logical system: applied to 00 start minute bars and 15 start min bars. The profit is...

When to Trade EURUSD I’ve found an interesting time related effect in the EURUSD and I’m interested if anyone else has noticed. The issue is time and specifically the start and end point for creating bars. This particular system trades 30 min bars with the maximum trade length of 2...

I'd STRONGLY suggest that you first validate that a system based on technical indicators and linear logic rules will make money over a good period of time and is a valid trading strategy before you worry about automation. It's a matter of logical priorities. At the top is, does the system...

What is your conceptual framework for ATS? Some are: 1) Combine various technical indicators with rules and filters to make a trade. 2) Use sophisticated and advanced statistical and mathematical operators to generate signals independent of traditional TIs. OpenQuant or SAS have these...

RightEdge is impressive in that it appears to be designed from the ground up with a corporate grade IT architecture. This is in contrast to some other packages that appear to be designed by traders who got the IT people involved in implementation after the general design was specified. Some...
