If you are addressing me with your magic little wave of the hand dismissal service.........then .....whatever. Actually, I have found that once you understand a market you don't need a backtest. You can scroll through the charts and find all the trades and write them down. I am suggesting...

Ninja is for the dll for interfacing scripts to IB. MC has only implemented market orders in their autotrading interface, I very much want to use limit orders at times. You just write some dll calls into your script and Ninjatrader sends the orders to IB. Ninja comes with some examples to help...

that is a good read... thanks

If you set your hardware firewall up to only allow the urls necessary for trading you are good to go.

Actually, I learned in statistics 101 that 30 is a large sample size. I have found that it is good enough for noodling and getting ideas, especially in the recent market where you were attuned more to it than the distant past. People go to large data sets and think they proved something...

Wow, I had forgotten about Mark Jurik, talk about a blast from the past. He is an engineer and he applied some digital signal processing to data series. Based on "if it works you will never hear about it" probably his stuff works great :D

I would pay for dtn data just to avoid the hassles. I never got good at the care and feeding of globalserver, it is horribly difficult to change your watchlist for example... This thread came up right when I was realizing that I was painted into a corner with Tradestation, I didn't want to...

Kudos to them.. you either are security conscious or you are hacked and robbed, it's not that complicated. I got hacked, probably through my account with auctionsniper.com, that's my best guess, and they got into my ebay account, made me a seller and put a bunch of ipods on sale there. Now...

Doesn't sound like much fun. Can you automate it?

Matt, thanks. I'm in my 60's, I hit up purityproducts.com to the tune of about $200/month and I find it very, very worth it regarding abilities and how I feel, very worth it. I'm hearing about supplementation of hydrochloric acid with meals and how that should make a huge difference for...

load up the free version of zone alarm and don't let it phone home

Crabel was just working with some patterns, he simplified things and dealt with points instead of percentages. To me that is a matter of his working style and I like it. I have seen that the brightest people do the simpler things at times and get the simpler and more elegant answers as well...

It's "Bush lied, people died" and "If we threaten to stick up for ourselves they won't like us" in legalise... the guy should get a picket sign...

Creativitiy is very much tied in with the ability to DO THINGS... I managed an R&D lab at one point. The wonderfully creative and 90% leftwing scientists there were always up in arms about "functional guys" like myself interfering with their creativity. I was making them turn in their test...

Al Gore is creepy looking up close too. I saw an interview with the guy, he reminded me of a reptile, something about his eyes.. That krappy movie he has shows a couple of lines on a chart and he can't even read it, somebody pointed out that the one line actually lags the other one, Gore is...

Ok, I probably should stay out of detailed conversations, I just test systems and see what happens via IB or Tradestation actually. If I was missing a lot of fills with limit orders I would try market orders and if that didn't work.... dang...

That must have been it. I subscribed to the bluebook of guns too, between the two I should be able to do what I need to do. The sale will start when the trust is settled, we have so many people wanting dibs on things, I didn't know shotgunning was so popular. We have mostly high end skeet...

Yeah but she can cook

Yes, Multicharts will automate you with IB. When they have limit orders I will be happier than a clam. GET THE LITTLE HINT ON ET, huh MULTICHARTS PEOPLE?? Just kidding, they have it on their list and will get it done at some point. Meanwhile if market orders work for you they are supposedly...

This guy needs a loudspeaker and a crowd of college sophmores.
