    An interesting read about technical analysis.

    I just got an e-mail back from the guy at stenslandsystems.com and he says that he is working with private investors now, also with financial type companies, and is shopping around ideas for a few books - one of them on technical analysis.

    An interesting read about technical analysis.

    I know that Kibble (is that the right name - Kimble?) was related to it and in the past he has had issues. He runs publicity stunts a lot to try to garner money, so perhaps the trendax.com site was just something along those lines. http://www.stenslandsystems.com does seem to be legit though...

    An interesting read about technical analysis.

    I had been away from EliteTrader for a bit due to work and came back recently to try to get caught up a bit. I checked out my old posts to see if anything had been updated and on this one remembered these two sites that I had mentioned...

    Data feed that is just data?

    Thanks - I did look at all of those and had written some off since their developer support is only COM based. IQFeed is something I only glanced at, I will look more closely - and also go back to look at the other sites like Quote.com again to see if I missed anything. Thanks!

    Data feed that is just data?

    Does anyone know of a data feed that is just the data accessible over the net? I have looked around and a lot of them offer their own software that will grab the data, and then perform some limited range of functions on it. Then there are options like QuoteTracker that does that, but...

    Trading for other people?

    Thank you for the prompt reply. I will try to talk these people into that account then. I will need to read more on it. I don't live in the States, so I would assume you mean the state in which the person putting in money lives.. Is there a place that I can read about this - or any...

    Trading for other people?

    What are the legal and tax implications if I trade someone else's money, even in someone else's account? Say I have a series of people, friends and aquaintances, that like the way I invest, and want me to apply those same principles to their money. Theoretically I could start a hedge fund and...

    stochastic %D slowing?

    So the way they denote the %D having periods of 5 and 3 likely means that the %D is acting on the %K which has a period of 5, and then it smooths that with a period of 3? Good link, thanks.

    stochastic %D slowing?

    I am familiar with the use of slowing on the %K, but I've been looking at www.wealth-lab.com and their "DynaChart " (http://www.wealth-lab.com/cgi-bin/WealthLab.DLL/dynachart?params=ODP;0;;;0;;;0;;;SF;5;3;C;15;;DM;15;;) as an example. They have Fast StochK(5) and Fast StochD(5,3) line. I...

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    I've been using the demo version of the realfasttrader/speedtrader software and it seems pretty impressive. It looks as if it is excellent straight off the bat up until about 11-noon depending on what you look at. Then it is pretty bad the rest of the day so far. I'm seeing that I'm still...

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    So you are saying that you have no qualms with there being a negative DX value? I've seen an example of it on I think optionstrader.com or something that didn't have the absolute value reference in there, but it seems an oversight to me. It is a directional indicator, and the name (pdi -...

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    I've downloaded a demo of the realfasttrader/speedtrader software and I can't figure out how to get the ADX(DX?)/DMI info on screen - is it no longer available in the demo version?

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    The multiplication by one hundred doesn't matter since this scale is of percentages of 1 - it would just force it to a scale of 0-100 instead of 0-1. It still needs the absolute value in that calcuation since we aren't noting any direction, just strength. That said, I have been trying a...

    Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms?

    Indeed. Even if you use a programatic NN, you would still want to use your own head to process whether or not you act on the information provided. The brain may be able to be better at figuring out when to trade or not trade (computer programs couldn't accurately predict 9/11 or similar...

    Arcsinus law: distinguishing trend from persistency of chance

    Reminds me of "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" in which they are constantly flipping a coin and it always lands the same way (of which they repeatedly note the oddity of). :)

    Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms?

    I felt the same way - that was why I was interested in seeing if any of the developed systems that are used by big names are available to the public - or something similar to them. For some reason, and I don't really have any good reason why other than a gut feeling, I don't know that I trust...

    Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms?

    So they likely aren't involved with either of those web pages I mentioned, or any of the standalone programs that were also mentioned?

    Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms?

    Aren't those the guys that had to stop talking about what they were doing once they were bought out by the Swiss firm? Presumably the Swiss firm didn't want them talking about it I guess. I wonder if anyone involved in that is part of something new - it sounds like the sort of thing that the...

    Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms?

    Oh thanks! Lots of programs there. Have you used Neuro Shell before? Does it have a web interface like those other two sites?

    Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms?

    Is anyone on here successfully using neural nets or genetic algorithms for their analysis? I was looking around and saw that there are some Excel plug-ins and stuff, but I'm not sure how trustworthy they are. I have heard that some of the large firms like Fidelity and Bears Stearns and the...
