austinp: I agree to most, but not all, of what you have written. One simple question to understand where you're coming from... When you were running / trying to run bots... how many systems and how many markets were you trading live, on any given time? Another comment: I took...

:eek: ROFL.

:eek: LOL. He means the specific product, symbol, market... Amazing how much illiterate people can be...

I went through something similar with Frosty a long time ago... Just trying to shut down the noise... for potentials to focus on...

Ditto. Nothing to add here. Finally, someone with common sense...

Flip-flop would definitely make the system he has even more curve-fitted. Have you or the other guy ever develop trading models?

I guess it's a bit unfair for Frosty, for me to play around in his thread... So I'll try to get things back into perspective by having Frosty answer these questions... (This is a question to Frosty, not anyone else. Also, don't bother adding more questions by narrowing the his mindset...

:D What's the deal with all the talk about Mexicans? There's nothing wrong with amigos selling fruits at major intersections... They're only trying to pay their bills...

:D LOL. :D :D :D :eek: One fact about Ramen noodle... Ramen noodles are consumed more by Latinos than any other ethnicity in the US. That said: The bot should learn to speak Spanish first... pinchi bendejo!!!!!

As for the apple and oranges... You can have an abstract class called Fruits. Have derived class called Apples, Oranges, Bananas, and Others. You can have the bot eat Fruits. Then you can have the bot love Apples, Oranges, or Bananas. When you find that there are Strawberries...

We're all bored between tests... :p

Stats are very important. It's the first step to be taken when you manage risk. Quant. Risk Analysis is a necessity, if not how does one set the contingency for the system? How does one set the optimal "stops" for the system? Better programming allows you to work within the arrays and...

Of course... "if" Frosty decides on providing a bit more information, there's no point of replying with something like... "You shouldn't have made this trade." "Xxth trade you made was a complete failure or should have been avoided" (This is systematic trading... It's not discretionary...

LOL... you mention it like Frosty is a conniving biatch... Girl : "I'm hungry." ET: "Me too. Where do you want to go out for dinner?" Girl: "Anything." ET: "How about Chinese Food?" Girl: "I had Chinese yesterday..." ET: "How about Italian?" Girl: "Nah... I don't feel...

So with all this pressure from people about lack of information... Let's start off by hearing what kind of information we need, to give a "more" thorough analysis and advice.

If you're talking about high frequency trading (and some scalping), then sure... liquidity, latency and computer will greatly affect the performance. If minor data issue was a problem, he should be setting up his trading environment differently. More-so, he "really really really" needs to...

Let's rephrase that: Does this seem right? Also, there is no such thing as "true edge". They will always go away, just like the trend in a market will change.

BS. If minor data difference affects your trading to your degree where it determines profits and losses... It means you're over over over over (x100) curve-fitting. Stop finding excuses. Take a serious look at what YOU're doing.

All these posts about out-sample test and RINA is telling me that none can really program or isn't testing systems enough. Most the posts are based on assumptions and/or just presenting the limitations of how they run a test. Anyone ever thought about and tested whether the out-sample tests...

What's Frosty achieving by posting his trades in here? I doubt that he's looking for advice because it's been mentioned by many that he needs to provide more information for anyone to give advice. But he doesn't. Maybe he's trying to sell himself and his system if it makes money. Frosty...
