Frankly I never got it to work though I pick it up and toy with it occasionally. The basic concept is to use a basic filter to give an edge (EMA 20). Then look at the most recent stats for various PA movements and make a trade on the most profitable settings. It's like backtesting in real...

This was a really good thread back in the day. Unfortunately OP fell off the radar a while back.

My wife and I used to watch House. I commented once that I found "13" to be particularly appealing. I guess there are things you don't bring up for discussion even in intimate relationships.

Occupy my microwave. :D

If any of you are interested, a fellow wrote some MetaTrader (MT4) support for R where you can call R functions through a dll interface. He also provided a couple of examples called Trend-O-Mat and Arb-O-Mat.

Actually I do.

You didn't read the article closely enough. Everywhere it uses the word "judgment" it means a court order. You still need a court order to seize assets.

Frankly it sounds like the fellow in the top post isn't competent to handle his affairs.

Sounds like yet another bloated bureaucratic gubment agency. Ron Paul 2012!

So pay your bills, you goddamn deadbeat.

It's simple. Suppose you have a bunch of tick data in .csv files. Are you going to read a gigabyte-sized .csv file into your program every time you start? It would take a long time to read the data on startup and you'd be storing a huge amount of data in RAM unnecessarily. If the tick data...

I'm assuming you're talking about option trading. AFAIK the underlying has to be a futures contract like ES, YM etc or an index such as OEX, SPX etc. I don't think you get 1256 treatment with ETFs. It's only indexes. The distinction is whether something cash settles or not. ETF options do...

I don't believe everything on ZH. But I'm still voting for Ron Paul anyway, even if I have to write his ass in. :cool:

Meh. ZH serves a purpose even if they're wrong sometimes. Sure beats believing everything pumped out by the glee club in the MSM.

What do you have to hide? :D

I would only consider buying an option in a low IV environment. When you're long options, you're also long IV. So if IV is high, say after a big move down in the market you're risking a decrease in IV. Exactly the situation you talked about earlier where you're right on underlying direction...

Are shopster and hankster relatives?

The recent Irish economic roller coaster was very interesting. I remember visiting relatives in Galway back in the late 70's and was struck with how desolate the country was. The cities were pretty run-down and full of old people. The countryside contained vast depopulated areas with...

Spindr0, you're talking about Bernie's "Option Advisor" newsletter. He wrote a book also called "The Option Advisor". His newsletter might be a dog, but his book isn't too bad. I got a free copy when I opened a brokerage account some time back. Like I said it's not a bad book. The chapter...

Never mind. I just had my coffee and figured it out. :eek:
