Here's a plot for price, EMA, SMA and LPF. Apologies for the resolution, sizing etc. They all are 20 periods. Note how LPF follows the closest, followed by EMA and SMA. I can't help with Excel stuff sorry.

The advantage is less lag. You only see it when you put a regular MA and the LPF on the chart with price.

Cabo? Wasn't TheRumpledOne having some get-together in Cabo a couple of years ago?

Actually SMA and EMA are both low pass filters too. The low pass filter jcl posted is a 2 pole filter.

I should know better than to go to the chit chat section and post in a thread called pwned but: what are you guys talking about?

We're probably just confusing terminology. I trade options spreads in my IRA and I opened a margin IRA to be able to do it. A cash IRA can't do option spreads. But you're right I don't have 4X the buying power of my assets like my regular account.

Bracket trader does this. Put the order in a text file in a particular folder and BT reads it.

Yeah I don't do FX trading in my IRA but plenty of other margin based trades like option spreads, futures etc. Bad assumption about FX.

You weren't right, the market was. :cool:

Haha for a second I misread your subject and thought it said "Zero Hedge"

Have you considered welding, son?

I can't imagine using market orders on option trades. I only use limit orders between the bid/ask, usually on the ask side for long and the bid side for short. It doesn't fill instantly but then again I don't daytrade. I for one believe in controlling costs in my trading business. Market...

Van Tharp's position sizing is very simple and sensible. Size the position such that if your stoploss is hit you'll lose a defined percentage of your capital. If your max risk is 1% and your account has $10,000 in it then your max risk is $100 per trade. If your entry is $200 and the SL...

I import 1 minute data into my own data files, converting it to all the timeframes that interest me. The 1 minute data goes back to 2001. I toyed with databases I finally realized it added more complexity than it was worth in benefit. My binary data file implementation is simple and very fast.

A fad? Pascal is probably older than you sonny boy.

I stopped thinking these "Downfall" overdubs were funny after the first 2 or 3, years ago.

No one mentioned how much word-of-mouth recommendation he was receiving within his own Synagogue. I saw an interview with the Rabbi at his congregation. Members come to their Rabbi (like any clergyman) for advice on all sorts of matters. He had been steering well-heeled congregants to...

Ew reassignment surgery. A euphemism for having your dick and balls cut off. No wonder there's no bulge in that bikini bottom. BTW I wouldn't have hit it anyway. I really don't much care for skinny bodies.

I didn't say it right above and can't edit the post any more. Here's the nutshell concept: "If price moves X pips from some starting point A to a point B, then it will continue Y pips to point C without returning to point A with a probability P."
