Definitely test this... You'll probably discover that winning trades are profitable from the start. Create and test a bunch of filters in the first 5-20% of your average trade length, and see what your results are if you exit the trades showing immediate losses.. Also put in some...

It'd really be nice if all the climatologists would address the elephant in the room... the real source of increased CO2 concentration. It's not due to melting polar ice caps... It's not due to melting glaciers.... It's not due to warming oceans... It's not due to deforestation... It's...

At what point does "Run for your life" enter the equation???

You just read this one? It's never too late to read a good book... I keep getting Perkins and Robert Baer confused. Baer wrote "See No Evil", the basis for Syriana, and "Sleeping With The Devil". Both are eye-opening accounts of our Oil/Middle East/Terrorism conundrums...

On the one hand, you're falling prey to the same things that we all falll for entering the business - searching for the Holy Grail. And using computers to do so. And thinking you're the first one to come up with this grand idea... Can you backtest your psychology? Can you backtest your...

I don't know... How about this... Age of Earth: 4.2 Billion years Temp extremes experienced: -200 degrees to +2 million degrees C Purported GW changes: 1-2 degrees C over the last 40 years Number of datapoints for every 100 years = 42 million Number of datapoints for every...

They were relevant in that JH was telling OP to look at the bigger picture and observe where the real opportunities were in Wall Street. Which is managing money. Not in trading. Not in working on Wall Street for salary + bonus. Not in owning/operating a brokerage or I-Bank, living off of...

Other ideas to test to see if they'd be useful filters: [list=1]number of shares outstanding - define small, mid, and large cap, and see how many of the winners fall into each bucket. Then see which bucket had the largest # of winners and the largest gains (individually and aggregate)...

The "useless" methods, in the wrong hands, will always be useless - past, present, future. Even when they are currently working for others... In the right hands, combined with creativity, openmindedness, the willingness to observe, tweak, and test, and yes, luck, could be the key to...

Thanks for sharing! Have any other videos for AmiBroker? Are there other plugins your recommend?

Not even close. Mining on general purpose CPUs is like solving a Rubik's cube where you're only allowed to make one move/twist each year.... agonizingly slowwwwww.... You'd want to mine on dedicated GPUs. AMD/ATI cards seem to perform the best... For the system to be useful to anyone...

Should be worth something, depending on the Xeon model and the amount of RAM. Here's the spec sheet: Dell PowerEdge 2900 specs You can see how it stacks up, performance-wise, here @ PassMark Is it a tower or rackmount system?

Are you looking for a date and hoping he/she fits your requirements? ;-)

The requirements are pretty extensive... However, the payoff would be much greater than your typical start-up. At the very least, the chances of success would be higher than your typical B-to-C business... A brokerage has one of the best business models one could wish for. You...

I personally like Trading Blox. Positives: true portfolio testing Monte Carlo analysis Profit/loss based upon R multiple concept full statistical reporting extensive parameter stepping (though its easy to get carried away testing insignificant variations) supports Metastock, CSI, and...

I think we do ... 1. You were drunk/stoned/hallucinating. The whole thing was fiction... -or- 2. You were in a thinly traded spread where one underlying hadn't had any trades yet, and the other(s) opened way up/down. This would only matter if you created the spread manually instead...

In Perl, I'd just use a hash of a hash, with the date as the primary key. Makes it real easy to keep track of the prices and get the exact data you need w/o s foreach my date (sort keys %prices) { my $open = $prices{$date}{open}; my $high = $prices{$date}{high}; my...

Exactly what I've been thinking since I saw OP's first posts a few weeks back...

Well, you have the end of summer, return of volatility, the Syria thing, and possibly the beginnings of another Asian contagion currency devaluation starting in India and spreading who knows where... Does that kick-start any macro ideas/scenarios ???

I know of only 2 places to get listed and delisted data - Premium Data, and CSI. Premium Data is affordable, and comes with the CUSIP number. CSI requires a commercial license costing $10K at a minimum. Downloading from Yahoo Finance doesn't take hours. My Perl script takes about 15 min...
