stop with the dramatization already. this is just a downturn/bear market like the one before, which is like the one before that, which is.....

i rarely see you this negative until recently. heh :eek:

do you really think there will be another big pop before the reversal, i am doubtful about that. Who will be doing the heavy buying to cause this? The only way this could happen is under very low volume, again unlikely given the test result just got released today.

slightly off topic, but does anyone know the following: 1) If i work for an american company based in overseas, do i pay us federal tax + that country's tax, basically double tax? I am not 100% certain, but few guys in my firm who got sent to work in the tokyo office were saying they got...

sitting on 900 strong support. Noone knows how the market will take the stress test result tomorrow. Next week options expiration, wulala.

fellas i think you guys are arguing if the chicken or egg came first. In my original post, my intention was to find out a very specific case of modifying the stop loss target logic that produced much better result on a 5 year historical data set. I think i named this thread's subject...

another fakeout in the morning, the question now is this a fake reversal followed by a major rally on friday after the test result, or already starting the real retrace? this 2 weeks will be the most interesting in a very long time. Everyone knows a reversal is coming, the charts could not...

Starting my short position at 915 today, will continue add if it continues to go up, buying slightly itm july puts. If this thing hit around 950 level (very likely as pre options xp fakeout), i will go in heavily. i dont know a more perfect setup than this: 1) unbelievable pressure at...

is this the same maxim group who did the ffhl ipo? if so it's one of the shittest companies around. Look at all of their ipos, most ended up becoming penny stocks. I am not saying dont work for them, since it's just a intern job for you and in today's market take anything you can. But as a...

didnt read all the responses, gotta run to work. but i did a few simple test just now and confirmed tickPrice() is synced. This makes my life a whole lot easier now, but i am kind surprised IB does not leave this to the developer. Just a comment about starting a new thread in tickPrice()...

in IB java api, you overwrite the tickPrice() function as entry to your blackbox. Each time a new tick price comes in, tickPrice() is called. public void tickPrice(int tickerId, int field, double price,int canAutoExecute ) { call_my_blackbox(price); } IB is down for...

not to derail this passionate scholar discussion on ohlc :) but does anyone know what are some of the key barometers one should use to measure the system. Is there a website or past discussion that list them out along with some explanation. I think most of it is just common sense, like %...

looks like there are some conflicting opinion on curve fitting, but in the end i think the way i modified it seems ok. Whether it is actually called curve fitting or not, doesnt really matter. Mike, i dont mind sharing details. The system and its signals are generated from point figure...

I designed in such a way that it reads es intraday tick data, yet the trade signals are based on price action of at least 3-6 pt movement. That way it makes sure the backtesting is relatively accurate to actual production. i ran the backtesting for 5 years after "curve-fitted" the...

i finally finished my system development and started backtesting. I am backtesting using 10 years of ES intraday tick data, and analyzed all the losers (it's an intraday system that only makes a few trades a week, so really isnt that many cases to eyeball over). Anyway, i noticed of all the...

your only call was on 4/20: the stock then gapped to 28. Now you are saying you shorted at 28. Show the trading record or stfu and go pollute somewhere else

what happens if you short etrade in an etrade account, and etrade goes under? :D

why do you want to buy diamonds? other than making the women happy. if you want to hedge/unload dollar, gold is the standard.
