    The Dems Are Scrambling To Replace Hillary

    From the beginning I have been saying that I just don't see Hillary as a viable candidate...at least in terms of winning. There seems to be zero enthusiasm for her campaign. Now the Dems see the excitement building around Trump and realize they get nothing of the sort with Hillary. You see...

    brainteaser!

    A software engineer I work with is super into these sorts of problems. He is a member of a web site that specializes in these sort of brainteasers, with some of the problems requiring very complex algorithmic solutions. Apparently Google was stalking some of the "high ranking" members on the...

    Why is this douchebag who shot a lion such a big news story?

    Yep...unfortunately many Asian cultures believe Rhino horns can cure all sorts of ailments. I have an idea...unleash Big-pharma and the Asian masses and save the Rhino's!

    How to best represent partial trade liquidation in backtest reports

    Attached is how I am currently representing positions (stop/limit orders currently not showing up as expected). As you can see there is already a lot of data here.

    Trump And Cruz, Possible Runnng Mates?

    All's I know is I am not automatically going into the voting booth next year and voting for the Republican candidate. If the candidate sucks, I am staying home. I like Rand and Trump, maybe Cruz, maybe Walker. I don't give a shit what any of these guys say they will do when president because...

    How to best represent partial trade liquidation in backtest reports

    Good points. It is convenient though to have both the entry and exit on the same line, at least when the position is fully liquidated via one trade. thanks fan27

    How to best represent partial trade liquidation in backtest reports

    Thanks rb7. My concern with that representation is I will likely need more columns in my already crowded data table. Plus, I currently key off of exit date when calculating performance metrics over time so having multiple exit dates in one line item would make that code more complicated. That...

    How to best represent partial trade liquidation in backtest reports

    I have written my own backtesting engine and am currently working on a feature where a portion of a lower ranked strategy's position can be liquidated in favor of a higher ranked strategy position. In my reporting, let's say I have trade: ticker qty entry date entry price exit date exit...

    The Patient Trader's journal

    I am currently using a slightly different strategy which I will further illustrate once I push my latest tool/website updates to production. It basically goes like this: I have a relative strength strategy which finds the strongest ETF in the group every two weeks and invests fully in that...

    Whether you like Trump or not.......

    While I agree Trump will make the election more interesting and entertaining, the fact of the matter is, Trump is leading in some major polls. He has become much more than an entertaining side show. I don't think that fact has sunk in yet with a lot of people. fan27

    How will the Iran Nuke Deal play out in the future?

    Yeah...I don't know. The way I see it, NK and Pakistan both have nukes. So what if Iran gets a Nuke? I do not buy the premise that they are suicidal maniacs and will launch nuclear weapons against Israel (who has numerous Nukes). I just don't buy into the hysteria. Suppose if I was an adult...

    How will the Iran Nuke Deal play out in the future?

    Or...it could go quite well. American companies could make quite a bit of money investing in Iran and Iran will continue fighting ISIS instead of our boys. Of course if does go well, the Republicans (Neo-cons) will look like the war mongers that they are. fan27

    new (current) symbols vs backtested symbols

    Why not expand your backtest with 10 or more years of data? I am afraid you will find it likely does not perform very well. In my research, I found it difficult to find an edge on smaller time frames below daily. Not saying there are no edges on smaller time frames, just that I came up empty...
