I know that guy. He be cool.

Matlab runs on Linux. I'm hoping somebody writes a bang up stock trading/system development front end for it. There is only a little stuff so far.

Like I've said before, darn all you evil atheist people to heck.

Maybe esignal could buy IB, fix up the technical problems and compete with Tradestation eventually??

GW will make a good defense of his actions in Iraq, the economy will be booming and Dean will eat the big one!! You heard it here first on ET baby!!

I have no way to use my emotions to overcome fear. I got really scared once, years ago, when a trade went the wrong way and I lost some long coin in a short period of time. That sent me into research, learning, backtesting, interacting with other traders, thinking, planning, etc. That fear is...

LOL :D

Brainwashed.... Brainwashed...conjures up images of forced imprisonment, torture, etc. I would say indoctrinated into a belief system at an early age and kept in a sleepy state. Does not the educational system start presenting the geologic column and whatnot as fact when we are children...

What frauds and abuses?? We have law and order, not necessarily in the same place and time but we have them!!

Collusion, get out of here. Here is what they do. They go to Philosophy class, try to stay awake and they learn argumentation and they get their little grade and then they go to science class, are handed a plate of garbage every day based on circular reasoning and unquestioned assumptions and...

Pathetic is worrying about all that shit.

Hubble constant calculations are made with the assumptions of doppler effect!!! Of course they agree.

You would expect 50%. The truth is that at times it will get way out of equilibrium. It is surprising. Traders are always surprised when they blow out their accounts too. It's just that the "worst case scenario" for number of consecutive heads or tails will happen eventually and take out the...

The measurements are not messed up, the angles used for the calculations become impossibly small as the distance to the star increases. The red and blue shifts are ASSUMED to be from velocity differences, they could just be DIFFERENT COLORS. (Please excuse the yelling, just trying to clarify...

I'm cancelling quote.com, hopefully for the last time. With esignal feeding TS2000 I have all the stuff that qcharts has, it just takes getting used to the other software packages. Later

It is sort of funny but if you examine the assumptions involved in what we think is the size of the universe it is possible to conclude that we actually don't have a clue as to how far away all but the closest stars are. We measure the distance to the closest stars by looking at where they are...

Chuck Missler started out to write a book on the ten biggest lies of the last century and he gave it up because he found that everything is a lie!!

You are right, in backtesting you can't be sure how your order would have gone, especially on the shorter timeframes. It's even true for realtime testing with a broker simulator. That is what drives me away from the shortest timeframe systems. I assume that I can trade 10% of the volume at the...

Imposing an end of bar trade on a market is probably not going to represent reality, the market is pretty fluid and bar intervals are dogmatic and arbitrary. The dogma is bound to diverge from the reality all the time.

One thing I did that worked in backtesting and failed in reality was to place stops so perfectly that I altered the market. As the price swept down towards my stop it made one more tick downward to take out my stop!! I heard from one guy that would test his systems realtime with two different...
