Again,I own both Amibroker and QS.They are both very good programs.You claimed Ami can do everything QS can do after spending 5 minutes with it. You are wrong,and that's the end of the discussion

you haven't mentioned one HISTORICAL fundamental data source that works with Amibroker..On the QS website it is in big bold letters, part of the program and very easy and very powerful.Of couse you know this as you tested the program.. Yeah right,I am quite sure what you do on Amibroker is...

You have no flow,you have no edge,and I sincerely doubt Ami provides any edge over quant hedge funds technology.. Secondly,like most Amibroker users,you are in the system/automated trading niche which requires advanced programming skills. Ami is great for that,but is not all things to all...

I have seen many AB users ask for the ability to download HISTORICAL fundamental data,not CURRENT into Amibroker.I haven't seen a response where there was an easy solution. Just to be clear,I am not talking about yahoo data,so I would appreciate the source of your fundamental data. As...

I would clarify what you said.. Amibroker has a particular orientation,and it excels at that. There is a large enough universe of customers who desire what Ami offers,and in fact,would like further development in that area. I am not computer savvy enough to know if advanced programmers can...

You have backtested strategies and systems with historical fundamental data in Amibroker,or can you screen latest quarterly/annual data?? You haven't looked very closely at QS I have no dog in his fight as I have both products,but it is a silly statement that you haven't seen anything that...

I have Amibroker and Quantshare. From a non programmers perspective,I find the QSanguage and AFL to be about the same.The biggest difference for me is QuantShare appeals to the discretionary trader who employs fundamentals and can access various fundamental data sources with historical data...

I am going thru all that now. Perhaps its a style of trading,but guys like Oneil,Zanger and Mark Minervini all stop themselves out at 7-8 percent.And its not like they are trading low vol stocks. I may break the analysis down between value vs growth stock Buying stocks at highs vs pullacks

Hi all, I am an equity volatility trader who is looking to add a directional component to my trading.Like most of you,almost every great directional trader I have read about will not trade without price stops.WE have all heard the Let your Profits run,cut your losses short Mantra. Yet...

425....ish

PM,what you do is 100% directional. My best guess is you are trading a size that that cant do too much damage to your financial health.Assuming a stock wont drop below your short strike and not adjusting till then is fine and dandy on a small portfolio,but if you levered up,you would be...

Hi 1245, I know exactly what you refer to.A long time ago,I was the head trader of emerging market equity derivatives at Salomon Smith Barney,and am somewhat familiar with ratio spreads:) I trade similar spreads to you,but never assume the stock couldn't "fire up" when I least suspect it.If...

They are vastly different, assuming one takes a predefined systematic approach to hedging.

I see.. Still a delta bet at some point.

Hi How do you define terminal distribution?

I see..So you are flat out long... I would partially offset your long calls..Vol is high enough where on a modest rally,the OTM calls probably aren't going anywhere.

Mr market is pricing the ATM straddle at apx 21% of spot ( 110 dollars.for the 510 straddle) If you believe its a 500-700 rang for the next 6 months why don't you just trade AAPL vol???

I mostly agree with you , but there are some in the value camp who do incorporate tangible book value or derivatives of it. Take two stocks in the same industry , same growth rates , similar price/ sales multiples Same. Roa, but one stock has tons of cash , no debt.the other company has no...

Not following your logic... If you think a stock is only worth book value plus future income stream,than AAPL was cheap at 700. Even if you are conservative and use tangible book,or exclude book value altogether,AAPL was trading at a significant discount to FV.And that's after significantly...

Just ratio the upside..Vols pumped enough where you will crush them on any rally
