Regarding risk abatement how bad can it be? I'm not thinking of, worst case but typical case of a computer messing up while trading. You might spend your intraday buying power on goofy entries but chances are that half of those trades will be good and half bad and you can monitor the account...

No way Livingston, what kind of an idiot do you take me for?? Free question answers, or questions freely answered, whatever, no ^&%& way. I'll learn the old fashioned hard way, thank you very much. Jeez.

The expensive real estate exhibits the most volatiltiy during the cycle typically. If the prices collapse it will be the high end stuff making the news, the blue collar stuff won't be so much of a problem for the owners.

Whatever, the previous admin ignored the terrorists, starved the US Military and the infrastructure in general and spent all kinds of future monies on programs that nobody wants except the welfare addicts that vote democrat. Then a real leader takes over and he has to spend money on the...

Well, not having a solid plan can do it to you. I backtested a system and got some very nice results. It is for automation and it watches quite a few issues. The results were great so I put it in motion and it starts off losing $. I can't believe it but on a closer look I see that I got my best...

Cool, abuse is out!:)

According to that article prices are log normal. I experimented by plotting Bollinger bands on the log(price) and got exactly the same number of band crossings as when I plotted the usual bollinger bands. My sample was small, a 30 price average on one issue. Did I overlook something? It...

Try trading on news events on the NYSE. News comes out, the specialists halt the trading, adjust the price and then open it again, effectively cutting the little guy out of the trade.

You could try Multi Charts at http://www.tssupport.com/products/multicharts/ I have no experience with it and also no connection to the company other than I'm happy with the other products I used from them. You could get a copy of TS2000 but it's going to make you crazy what with the Global...

Fundamentals are important in everything. I'm a moderately good pool shooter because I took some lessons and got the fundamentals down after many, many hours of practice. Just how to hold the cue, where to look, how hard to cue the ball, etc, no english at all. I beat some pretty good players...

Real Estate sales is very cyclical. They have to get it while they can. If the business cycle is 11 years then Real Estate people make big $ about 20% of the time.

Speaking of jokes I am not so sure this is caused by data, it could be that one test used bars with zero volume in them and the other did not. Always something!!!

I just ran an identical test on daily and 390 minute data in TS8 and got 76 trades out of the daily and 84 trades out of the 390. This system is worst case in that it depends on data highs and lows wherein lie much of the troubles. I'm thinking you test a system and then you roll it out...

How does he know that for sure? :D

True. Backtesting has to be more about finding exploitable inefficiencies than actually digging in and finding out about a company and analyzing what is really happening with the stock price/volume.

Actually, if you want to see some good arguments from that side go to drdino.com and download his seminars.

Oh boy, we got one here.

Sometimes I can prove they don't literally mean a lot and then somebody comes along and does something amazing with them. I just have never taken the time to dig in with fibs. There is some software (Advanced Get?) that is said to be very good. I sat in a traders office and watched his...

He wrote one book about how insiders manipulated prices or something like that. I read it, personally I thought he was a crank. Max
