do you use limit orders? are you entering and exiting on the same bar? do your backtest include commissions, lost interest rate and some slippage? are any of your trades placed on the close of the session? what is the drawdown and net win/loss as well as the percent profitability...

I have just started with amp and the customer service has been at least responsive, they are not huge like one might think. there a small tight group and they will respond to you pretty quickly, bare bones commission rates and fees are very attractive. Plus I have never seen a easier, more...

obviously i have used all the platforms there are and i would rate amibroker #1 and multicharts #2 all others are lacking if you want to do your own thing and not settle for canned crap. there are simply too many nuances for me to list them all just take 30 years to figure it all out like i...

welcome to the dark side - short selling is something many will be needing to survive...

amibroker or multicharts or both...

i was just thinking today how much i am enjoying amp's customer support. they are probably the best customer support i have had in the past 20 years. i am a very happy new customer.

what i love about owning multicharts is all the data feeds it will take - that way you can focus on your programming and custom stuff and its always yours - brokers and data feeds come and go but your charts and studies will always look the same. its that consistency of studies and charts that...

using ts brokerage with ts version 9.5 is not a bad thing but they are not commission and margin aggressive for today's competitive environment. ts focuses on glitz and glamor more than function and efficiency.

in my efforts to be free of tradestation "addictive historical data" i am moving to dtn iqfeed because it and rithmic seem to be very stable with multicharts. i really like multicharts so any bitching about them is just to make it a better platform. i personally know the owner going back...

why do the exchanges exist? "for the benefit of it's members" a question on the series 3 futures test. i never forgot this question and the answer.. ----------- i know to this day they delay / throttle the retail feed and even being a member it's takes connections to get connected lol...

nah it's even worst - we make the data and they sell it back to you as real time when in fact it's delayed just a little and throttled in fast markets. the exchanges have been robbing the public for decades.

yea i am going to get iqfeed to chart and only use rithmic to place trades i guess.

i use range bars no time there and like @jbt said tick charts or tick bars work well. omitting time is a smart move.

yea cme is ignorant that if they lowered data they would bring in more trades but oh well. as other exchanges make data free volume is going the them and their products.

i'm shocked that esignal would offer such because they are a very slow negligible delayed feed compared side by side with other main stream real time feeds. but everyone has to find their own way and esignal is still in business all these years but not growing much, maybe that's a sign.

pure and simple he was fishing for a whale and most likely found one to feed on. he had to have worked as a gas and oil salesman because that's the tactic's they use.

i also called him out and his pack of kool aid drinkers gimmie shit, i may not trade options anymore but there was no way he was getting those paper fills for real. just not real world, he attacked me hard but whatever... thank's to him i have about 200 fools blocked and it's peaceful now.

all those are rookie feeds

hey after you get funds to amp help me figure out how to view your online balance the account portal is sparse at best.
