If you follow suggestions from my earlier post, it will take some time to load the first chart but other charts with the same symbol will load near instantly. If you follow a smal number of symbols, you can take time to revew (by loading a chart) each symbol in the morning and after that the...

Absolutely agree here. NeoTicker may feel slow when you are trying to do something crazy like a loading 5 years of 1-minute data into a chart but for what the Traderham is trying to do loading data from disk cahce should take less than a second. What happens is by default NeoTicker loads 4...

Moving the stop whenever the size is increased can alleviate this issue. For example, the stop can be moved so that the monetary loss if stopped remains constant; i.e. when a position size is doubled, the stop in price point from the average entry price is halved.

The backtest in the article is article is proof of concept. For this purpose the best trading system is a simple one. Simple means easy for the readers to replicate and the complexity of the system doesn't diverge attention from the main idea (which is in this case the effect of using monthly...

Hippie means the payday loan company knows the borrower has a job. So, the borrower will receive their paycheck in time and will be in a position to pay out the loan.

I am pretty sure these cyber vilians are up to shutting down the world power grid.

Harris does backtest. However, apporach he advocates is to avoid manually picking patterns for a trading system and instead automate search for best patterns. Because traditional trading system qualities such as percentage of winners, profit factor, Sharpe ratio and many others don't say...

It's not security software you need. Various "Internet Security" protects against computer viruses, malicious Web-pages etc. These are the easiest to combat. Have a separate computer for Web-browsing, E-mail etc. The trading computer should only have essencial trading software installed and be...

It is a payday loan company. They tend to charge maximul legal interets rates. Naturally, people resort to this kind of credit after they expended their bank account overdraft and their credit card... or if they are ineligible for either because they couldn't pay bills on time for quite a while...

First, commissions for stocks and futures are calculated very differently. So, a stock broker that happens to offer futures may not have very competitive commission for the latter and vice versa. Not to metion rebates for adding liquidity and interest rates where overnight leverage is involved...

Hi Mizhael, what is the proposed structure of ownership for the platform? If it is going to be open sourse, then it's an easy choice between a few popular open source libraries. If not, who will keep the right to license or sell parts or the whole? I don't mean to cool your spirit but, as a...

I don't know why they are letting QuoteTracker die. I can only speculate here. Maybe someone in Ameritrade management figured out that once Jerry Medved had left the company, it would require serious resources to support QuoteTracker with all the data feeds and brokers. Ameritrade is a broker...

What is buy and sell quantity? Is it activity at best bid/best ask or something else?

Sounds like you are confused about "features". Disable them

What about Reuters? They still lag behind Bloomberg in term of data for corporate bonds but their marketdata for liquid instruments is better (and faster).

ksmetana must be from China or Russia where it's considered important to have the most expensive things one can (barely) afford. Reminds me of a person who became a laughing stock for buying first class air tickets at a discount (unthinkable). Clearly, if you are buying first-class tickets...

I doubt any of this is feasible. During good times Ameritrade paid through the throat to get QuoteTracker. I doubt they will sell it now for a fraction of the price they paid a few years back. Any gain from prospective sale is immaterial on the scale of Ameritraid revenues and losses. Further...

Trading software is a saturated market now. With Tradestation still kicking and NinjaTrader and X-Trader and dozens of others you need to have a very strong unique selling point to have a chance. Making "retail" trading software is like trying to compete with facebook itself (and myspace, and...

Except in Amsterdam you may meet lots of "empowered" women who are trying to make the most of their "assets" while in the places where it's illegal there is human trafficking, slavery and other illicit activities on a large scale. Same as with weed. Where it is legal interested customers are...
