jem - You don't even really know whether there's a problem or the possible magnitude of it. Start with something simple. Why don't you just setup a regular trading hours ES chart using 5 minute bars and a 20 period EMA and post a snapshot of it here. Then people with different feeds can...

Max drawdown is the maximum a particular trading system allowed an account to go into the red during the test period.

It's NEVER wrong - in hindsight that is

Good deal on the car. But the guy who's been posting all those annoying ads on message boards offering to sell CDs of trading software with cracked license keys isn't selling his wife's software library and he's not just selling the one copy of it. :)

Are you talking about those collections of illegally bootlegged software? They're violations of the software's licensing and both the seller and buyer could be sued and maybe face criminal charges (if they catch you anyway) - it's like receiving stolen merchandise - you knew there was something...

Don't you just love extremists?? They're so amusing. It's always interesting to see how the fanatic left and the fanatic right are two sides of the same coin - they both have 20/200 vision of reality :)

I knew this would kick up some dust, so here's some more :) As I said in the opening post - the question is whether Israel has the right to claim land that's outside the borders that were drawn up when the country was formed and recognized. Having current physical possession doesn't convey...

Each side in the argument has their own self-rationalizing logic but without change on BOTH sides it will continue to spiral the region into the abyss with no chance of ever having peace. As far as the US occupying Indian (BTW, proper term is Native American, Indians are from INDIA)...

A simple question that will probably kick up a hornet's nest - but that's what these threads are for :) Do you think that Israel now owns the land outside their recognized borders that they captured after the war back in the 1960s and that they've been building settlements on - the so-called...

Backup/recovery software usually comes with a CDRW/DVDR-RW drive for that, e.g., the HP CDRWs ship with an HP utility that will image your hard drives to CDs and create 4 bootable floppies. If there's a disaster, you can boot from the floppies and restore the complete disk config from the CDs.

Actually Raid 5 is not striping and mirroring (that's Raid 0+1, although there is also a Raid 10 configuration that's an alternative way of doing fault tolerant striping). Raid 5 is striping with distributed parity (ECC) blocks - not mirroring (a hardware implemented Raid 3 config is often...

And the SPY chart

Here's the QQQ chart

wd78 - a couple of interesting results: First, it looks like the QQQ frame should be 24.4531 to 24.6094 (your chart has the correct 8/8th but a different 0/8th and as a result all other intervening 8ths are different). Second, interestingly your ES frame has the correct 0/8th and 8/8th...

wd78 - Clearly I'm either not using clear enough language or the concept that an algorithm (correctly coded) can produce the correct result most of the time and the wrong results other times is too difficult to understand. You asked for an example - but you ignored the experiment I listed...

Couple rules of thumb - never stripe unless you're also mirroring the stripe set and never stripe unless you're using multiple physical disk controllers (not drives, actual controllers) and don't using striping just to get a larger virtual disk drive (use bound volumes instead). Striping is...

You're missing the central point. Of course if it can be coded CORRECTLY in one program it can be done in another program. The key point remains that scripts coded strictly based on the Kruzel notes/spreadsheet (which many appear to be) aren't necessarily coded correctly. Maybe what you're...

Here's what it should look like (uses 3/5 as the last bar like WL did).

Yep, I missed the revised QQQ example. But try SPY: Pretty obviously wrong.

If you haven't seen discrepencies, then you're not looking at enough different price ranges. As I said, the Kruzel algorithm WILL produce the correct #s part of the time, but it will always produce the wrong #s for a bunch of different price ranges. If you're looking at mostly daily charts for...
