We are 7-10 years away from a real housing boom unless immigration forces prices higher. Something like that happened in the 70's in California. There were a lot of illegals coing in at the time [it was not on anybody's radar at the time but they were here] and the boomers all were buying their...

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1103061allgier1.html I wonder how long he thought the could remain anonymous?

It amazes me, $500 million price on the guy's head and nobody has grabbed him. Militants don't know the value of a human life or a buck.

Extending the ignore feature to the live chat would be a big plus. I was in there recently, hoping to find out what traders are doing in realtime, a couple of guys were typing fast and furious all day about chit chatty stuff. It seems kind of obvious that some posters are here because they HATE...

Just "self employed" will get your resume tossed in a lot of cases. Employers know that people that had businesses are not going to buy into every bullshit line that comes out of the personell office's care and feeding of employees handbook, nor will they like working for the corporate idiots...

80 hours is just a job, career people do 100, c'mon :) The last place I worked was getting rid of the daytraders that were trying to trade from the office. One machinist hired in and tried to get permission to daytrade during the work hours, he was outta there right quick. There were some...

I used to care about Blacks and their plight in the USA. Finally I woke up. They hate whites, they get violent a hell of a lot, they have a shitty attitude, and only one frigging political issue: Racism. Boring assholes in my book.. oh, and they seem to litter a lot. I mean, they did such a...

Thanks for the input. I'm trialing MC currently.

I'm not clear whether Multicharts does that when backtesting as well as when trading. Referencing a papertrade account seems to indicate that you are thinking about realtime, my question really is about backtesting. Probably Tradestation 8.2 will trade realtime with just Buy/Sell but the...

My question was really about backtesting. It is a high freq system I am working on, so if I'm short, and issue a buy command, the tester first issues a buy to get flat signal, then a buy to get long signal, according to the docs. Getting my code to work with that would entail changes I don't...

Thanks, I was beginning to think it was just me. Yes, I'm just taking a close look at the order entry keywords and trying figure out how I can write code that will keep up with the backtester. It is not easy at all. Like bubba says about the real world, you buy/sell and the broker software...

I was trying to backtest with tradestation on the YM continuous contract. In real trading I can just buy one then reverse by selling two but the testing software is set up for stocks. It is quaint to say the least, the buy order will first have to go flat, then issue another order to get long...

I'm backtesting a futures contract with Tradestation. The buy and sell keywords are quaint and totally for stocks. Buy first takes you flat if you are short then issues another order to get long for example. If I am trading a fut contract for real I can just buy/sell and the broker software will...

A lot of hi tech stuff is easy to do once mastered. There are lots of engineers writing firmware. Basically you could get the typical worker at Radio Shack up to speed on that kind of work in weeks if they were interested in that kind of task. I did that with an engineering student co-op once. I...

an idiot? Probably a racist really, since all Causasians are racists.......... How do you qualify an idiot? They don't think like you do????

No way, I can't really do that. I have a set of indicators and drawing tools. I'm shying away from backtesting but I am working towards automation so it has to be rules 100% of the time. I had a couple of situations that called for discretion in the last 2 days and looking back I can see...

Hee hee, I've got no choice... got out of work, too old to get a real job ever again, burned through the savings developing trading methods, no choice to trade from now on out and guess what? I'm very happy I went all in like that. It is all I wanted to do for years so I did it, it's working out...

Well, I know that I never enjoyed working...... hanging around always seemed a lot better....... and I love surfing the internet......... Ok, vagrancy is a lifestyle choice and nobody should have to be criticized for the way they are. ...

I just recently gave up backtesting. What a frigging headache, just getting the tests to not lie is hard. I kept finding more ways to inadvertently use data that was not available at decision time and getting fantastic results. Then I would look down in the bowels of the code and find a...

Whatever. King Drew has been reorganized repeatedly over the decades. Basically nobody in the area is insured. The Federal policy that Hospitals must serve everybody that comes in to an emergency room plus the illegal immigrants that have overwhelmed the emergency rooms have shut the doors of 85...
