Tradestation will refresh your data unexpectedly and that can cause unwanted trades. You have to include error detection for that in your strategy.

The best solution for your problem is to get TS8.1

www.foundationforthestudyofcycles.org is back online after a few years away. They document bubbles and show that they are cyclical in a lot of cases.

Wal Mart has a labor force that is subsidized by welfare and they are ahead of the competion in the area of computerization of inventory, have been for 25 years. KMarts level of employment of technology was abysmal and they paid the price eventually. Those are big factors in their success, as...

GM's management is out to lunch. The can't capitalize on their own best products. They had Camaro/firebird lined up against the Mustang. Camaro does .8G turns, Mustang does .4G turns, Camaro is 3300 pounds and crashworthy, Mustang is 2800 pounds, etc. They never advertised what the differences...

The EU is sort of a cartel. Cartels have a history of not lasting, 13 years being about the record or so I am told. NAFTA has a better chance because it is going beyond an agreement and is more of a merging of cultures, visit Southern California some time. Californian businesses have had...

Philadelphia business journal broke the story first apparently, and they were 5 minutes after the price started to run up. You had to have somebody in the courtroom with a wireless trading setup to get in on the trade apparently!

Remember the guy that ruined Barings Bank? Nobody was watching him either.

I will back test and verify it for $5,000.

They are said to work better when the market in question is not trending. I don't know anymore, it is funny, I graduated from indicators. I never believed all these folks that did not use indicators but I have done it. I can get things done with a lot less CPU time for sure. I hope I can...

mytrack data seems to be good. Tradestation data seems good to me so far but one little thing, they time stamp a bar with the ending time of the bar, not the beginning time. Maybe one of your software packages does that? Data is more than just a little problemattical. Compare the EOD data...

I am looking at retirement soon and so far trading has brightened the picture from requiring working two full time minimum wage jobs and recycling aluminum cans along the roadway to only one minimum wage job and the recycling is optional. And that in only about ten years. Seriously though...

Retirement looks very bleak

I've posted before about data problems. I knew one guy that forward tested his systems on all the data vendprs and went with the one that worked best!! I worked out a fantastic system using stockcharts.com one afternoon, it was unbelievabley good. I went home and tested on some expensive data...

Tradestation's quarterly reports have mentioned stats about thier typical client.

Take your percent per day gain and extrapolate it out to percent per year and figure out how many Ferrari SuperAmericas you can buy.

If your system looks good on historical data then link up to IB with dynaorder or whatever and trade a small $ amount for real. The commission caps make it economical to bundle the walkforward test with the roll-it-out-for-real test IMO. I'm thinking that shortening the system design time is...

Check it out, the guy writes books on economics!! I am tempted to go over to Amazon and start writing reviews :D

There is much truth to what is said here. I was not doing well physically about 10 years back and started researching nutrition which eventually led to a look at how food is made and distributed in the US and how much nitrition is actually gotten by the consumer. Faggetaboutit.... the guy in the...
