26 books including classics like New Concepts by Welles Wilder. A full and amazing range of books. Attached is document with all details. I am moving (Continent, not just country) and must seriously lighten my load! Someone is going to get real lucky - first come first served. I...

I am both saddened and concerned by a few of the threads that exist in this forum directed at beginning and struggling traders. These posts are full of waffle, lack any concrete assertions or propositions, and generally seem to simply go on about vaguely nothing. I personally believe that the...

CoolTrade looks like about as Micky Mouse as it gets... I would not spend even more than ten seconds on the website, let alone think that it is a worthwhile product... just my opinion though...

i don't believe the graphs posted above show any explanatory features of either robustness or optimization in a trading system... when a representation of system performance shows the bad effects of optimization what you see are a few isolated peaks of solid performance in a sea of...

this is a question of long discovery for me... I'll anwser it like this: the point of switching markets is that it is an esay way to randomise the data for you. I would say that the robustness increases with the difference between the markets and the correlation (smaller is better). But...

1) what do you trade? 2) what frequency do you trade? 3) how good are your programming skills?

hausse has nailed it for you... let's say you optimize and find that at period parameter of 20 is optimal. You then test period = 19 and it loses money. System is not robust and is in fact bullshit. Robustness across not just all parameters but also time frames, time periods and...

1) TWS does NOT have a tick datastream - IB feed it an aggregated sub-second stream 2) I assume you are wanting a real time tick data stream? 3) if 2) is yes then the most important issue is what application you feed the stream to, which you don't mention at all

no problem:- I learnt VS there in 2003 and they are still going strong - highly recommended

if an IB guy comes in here can you please also clarify if the feed on the FIX connection is the same as the TWS data feed or different? I am specifically referring to the sub-second tick consolidation method that IB uses on its TWS feed. Or in other words, is the FIX data unfiltered?

someone please delete this crap

their edges are bullshit....

http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=130847&perpage=6&pagenumber=5 this thread shows just one of many pointless abuse slinging threads that exist here. a moderator should simply delete all posts that are abusive, no question. it is such a shame that this type of behaviour...

because it is inevitable... $100 is your little pinky toe-nail... lose the whole leg, and maybe half the arm too, then get back in here telling us all about your mental toughness and your states of preparedness! I think some trading room is just what you need - a much more gentle way of...

it is so wierd how much ca$h it takes to realise that in trading, more than anyother field in the world, the following is true: those who can do, those who can't teach. Any book, cd, dvd, webinar, trading room, anything at all that transfers cash from your account to someone else is...

this is a dream I hope comes true... all we need now is for IB to add a non-filtered data stream and that is game over... no retail firm will get close me thinks... PS. does anyone know if the IB FIX option provides actual tick data or is it the same data stream as the IP version?

yes, my broker, IB, has a really nice DDE api that is so simple to use it hurts... you can use it to create really powerful portfolio management functions with minimal development time invested... well worth a look, especially if you are ok with excel...

I use excel for these functions - I link to my broker account via dde...

hey Tums, that's exactly what I mean... you get these guys who are really pissed for what ever reason but hardly anyone gives an even rational appraisal of the pros/cons. it would be nice to hear those voices you are referring to... thanks to those of you in this thread who have...
