    How do you Deal with Missing Trades

    I have some alarms that sound off when things are setting up. They have a 60hz component sound to them that reminds me of the first, and last, time I got across the 110 volt lines.. they keep my attention on the screen pretty muchly... I was outside fixing a bicycle tire yesterday and I could...

    my trading system backtest

    Not bad, reward to risk is about 3:1 and winners 55% or so. That is pretty much into the comfort zone.

    I was DEAD but I came back, I came to tell you.

    I had the opposite experience. I was alive but then I started reading politics and religion threads and I felt dead.

    TradeBullet or NinjaTrader

    I think [actually they indicated so on their forum] ninja will work with the mytrack feed which is pretty cheap last time I looked at it. I dl'd the mytrack software today but could not resurrect the password. Am waiting for mytrack to fill me in on that. The free [for YM data] OpenTick feed is...

    Password security for files

    I ran across a pretty interesting piece of security software, sort of an internal zone alarm for a pc it seems. I've installed it but not dug in and put it to use quite yet: http://www.trustware.com/

    dropping a bomb

    If you know exactly where you are going to take profit and where you are going to stop out you can know the risk/reward ahead of time. If you use TA to enter, take profits, and exit, like I do, you can only know the average win to average loss ratio from history.

    Dedicated Trading Station

    If you are autotrading you have to protect your intellectual property. It's not about the random @sshole hacker looking for credit card info or malicious idiots, it's about some serious theft. I want to have logging capabilities that won't quit so I can track the perps down and break ALL their...

    Question for MultiChart Users

    Making things work together is much harder in the microsoft environment because microsoft does not follow it's own rules when they write their stuff. It makes it much harder for developers. I tried several of the "dll to IB" add ons for Tradestation or Multicharts, they did not work the same...

    Dedicated Trading Station

    It takes 3 computers actually. One, you set up as linux box and use it for a hardware firewall. I have had 5 hardware firewalls in the last year, they all either did not work, or worked but after a while they would freeze, one was called a firewall but it did not do SPI and it could not pass the...

    Security: Best solution for your PC

    I'm asking this same question at experts-exchange.com and not getting anything I can use. What can I do to white list a file for applications? I want to tag a file in other words, and profile access to it to just the programs I want to have access to it. Trading software that runs on linux...

    Learn the difference between data and information. Data is a record, information is what somebody makes of the data. Limit the information that you will allow yourself to be subjected to to that which will help you to learn to trade from data. Your noise level will go way, way down, your...

    Question for MultiChart Users

    They stopped selling and supporting that software. I went through all the similar softwares, every one was flawed to the point that I could not use it. The dll from NinjaTrader will not work with MC scripts on volume bars at all and it will work with end of bar but not intrabar on volume bars...

    American hubris

    Asian hubris more likely. I recall when the Japanese mafia was buying all the real estate in the US. They got burned for trillions!! Now it's Chinese commies: "We pull big international stunt, people think we smart". I would wait to see how this plays out personally...
