I think there are many trade-offs. Let's assume that a curve-fitted system is at extreme "A" and a very robust one at extreme "C". I think it makes sense looking for an "optimal" solution more or less at midpoint "B".

In backtest, you know, mostly anything don't work or simply don't give exceptional results. And the things that work converge toward an average. Bill Eckhardt, e.g., has been making 26% net with drawdowns around 29% with a highly diversified portfolio, strict risk management and thorough...

I am just looking for an alternative to Advanced GET EOD, which could be compared to it or be considered better than it.

Which do you think is the best software for EOD charting, technical analysis, elliot wave count, etc. I tested a copy of Advanced GET EOD and found it heavy and cumbersome to operate. Does anybody know a better, simpler and more practical software than Advanced GET EOD? Thanks.

OK.

"How much you commit to a trade" is the amount you bet. Have you heard of "bet sizing"? I myself, on the other hand, the longer I trade the more I understand how the word "bet" is very appropriate. Trading takes place at the right side of the chart.

Being patient and picking their spots is the only thing big-lot traders can do as well. The difference is some of them are using computers to generate their signals and don't have to deal with the emotional aspect of discretionary trading. For a lot of them it's all about statistics and risk...

Over the past few weeks I decided to read some seasoned traders/analysts comments so as to have an idea of market sentiment and what I could figure out is that they also are lost, changing their opinion and fundamental justifications according to the ebb and flow of the markets. One of them...

I think Bingoking has a point here. Look at the chart that goes attached. There is an obvious bearish divergence in the September-November period. At the end of November even seasoned traders/analysts had a bearish sentiment that a break could be iminent. But then see what happened. On the other...

Thanks. I have found the following review about Trading Blox Builder: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=86283

Agtrader777, thanks for your feedback. I am not familiar with TraderStudio. So what I am asking is: May I use it for actual portfolio trading (not backtesting) and management? Actual portfolio trading and management requires the ability to program the software to issue trading signals...

I have heard that www.powerst.com is a good choice. Indeed it looks like an excellent solution. Quite expensive though. Also, does anyone know www.tradingblox.com?

Which Mechanica Features are you talking about? Does your software provide a complete solution for portfolio trading and management? Thanks.

I am looking for a trading software which I can use to program and portfolio trade a system. Ideally the software would allow me to portfolio trade dynamically. By that I mean: 1) system scans different symbols to issue trading signals; 2) positions are sized as a function of maximum risk...

Yes. I see how hard they try to fix all bugs and implement new requested features. As a matter of fact, I don't see any "viable" reason to tackle the challenge myself, since their software and script is quite powerful and flexible, enough for me to develop a system, back-test it, optimize it, do...

Arold, I guess I am a potential customer of your book... I have been using Wealth-Lab Developer to run my system. I myself programmed it using the built-in WealthScript and run my system with Wealth-Lab. Although I think that WLD is very flexible, I would like to program my own proprietary...

Dear brethren: Have you been using Excel spreadsheets to keep a trading plan? If so, I will appreciate if someone could provide me with some templates for a simple trend following plan with basic entry, add to, stop, and stop-and-reverse prices. Other suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

OK. Thanks.

It would appear that there is only one prerequisite for such an unpleasant experience: being a trader.
