Hello, it was me who wrote that and then lateron I realized that it is not the case. So, no worries. I have been a regular user of MC for years now. Software is good for beginners. When you become advanced, well it has limitations. But if you are starting out in trading, go for it. It is...

So, no comments on this post yet. Experts where are you.

I also initially thought it is a great idea, but now I have the perspective that it is an idea that will kill ET.

Good point zdreg! I strongly concur. Baron - this feature will kill ET. Re think it. What will happen overtime is that like minded people with interest in one particular domain will start a private PM and others will never have an idea of all the good stuff. Forums will get primarily used...

Scaled-in at 91.75 for 2% risk and again at 92 for 2.25% risk. LOL. When I calculated my risk in the first post, I thought by 92, I will have only 2% risk - wrong calculation OOPS!!! I have 2.25% since I started selling from 90 and at every 25 pips from there. Anyways, scaled in at 50 pips...

Great question. I am a user of Multicharts, previously used Trade station and use them daily for strategy prototyping and idea testing. However, I also feel frustrated by a lot of bugs and LIMITATIONS that Multicharts have. For a firm like Multicharts, most of their revenue comes from new...

Awesome, what took you all these years to add all these functionalities? Were you busy with your other businesses?

I also prefer the list style of each post one after another without too much clutter. I personally think Traders laboratory and BMT are full of clutter. ET is so much cleaner. However, I really liked the functionality to post replys without the need for using html tags and a reply box...

I am curious if there are people present on ET who have been on this path. I have heard that some quant hedge funds have been working on these ideas - not sure if anyone has put such a thing in production - but I would be surprised if big quant hedge funds of the world are not making money from...

Hello, You are in a great position actually with your father being an expert in IBM assembler. And as it seems, he is willing to help you get started. Great! He will learn multicharts software and easylanguage in 5 days flat. And will be learn how to set up data, prices etc. in multicharts...

The way you have described it, yes it can be automated. Now, how do you go about automating it. Well, can you do any programming at all? If you have never ever done any programming before, then you have 2 choices: 1) Outsource your work to some programmer to code the thing for you or 2) learn...

I attached numbers to above 4 statements by sle. All 4 are very true. I attest to them based on my experience! It takes time to develop non-obvious IP in trading. Decay factor is also pretty significant. However, you are on the right path. I would say, put in 1-1.5 more years and you will have...

So, with your numbers I got some more feel of where exactly you are currently in your trading strategy development life cycle. From your numbers, my guess is you will discover a lot more things about the market over the next year and your improved strategy a year down the line would be much...

12 yrs backtest is good. Your training as a quant and experience is useful. But you never traded - that is bad. Fee free to papertrade and analyse for years but in reality there are just 2 ways to actually do it: A) My Way or Highway - In this case, you go to your boss and declare you are...

+2 tick wanted 4 point target, but exiting since want to go and relax before payroll numbers.

Agree with you. I don't like the dailies. As of now, the classic parabola doesn't seem to be present, which was there from 17th to 24th Jan. So currently, the whole premise of the trade is questionable. Watching closely - had I been trading OPM, I would have been out with a timestop of 15...

One more scale-in at 91.5, total risk = 1.75%

Long 1495.5

One more scale-in today at 91.25. So, total risk = 1.5% Typically, when parabolic moves are close to being over, there is both upside and downside volatility. I started this thread on 17th. And from 17th Jan to 24th Jan, market experience significant volatility on daily chart. However, post...

So I did a quick google search and checked their website. It seems you are suggesting that I can get a paper money trading account at ToS and they will display all these market internal data, just that it will be delayed by 10-15 minutes. Is my understanding correct or you refering to something...
