Did you actually read the ruling from the Appeals Court? John Matthew Cowart / Day Trader Paradise is being sued for fraud, amongst other things. What part of that don't you understand?

anybody following the legal drama between TradersParadise and VinnyEmini? Seems fairly juicy. Names Ninjatrader and AMP as third-parties. Day Trader Paradise, LLC, and John Matthew Cowart v. Vincent Marchi and EGI Ecclesiastes Global Investment Technologies, LLC Appeal from 416th Judicial...

Just use the generic %Change which is there and change the input for the data length required. It is under Inputs when you are adding it. { Search Tag: WA-%Chg } { Note: The colors and alerts in this indicator have been written assuming that the indicator will be used as a trend indicator...

Oh I know it well. My issue is more with YOU - particularly you name calling a whole message board of people that you are have never met before. The fact that you would *generalize across millions of users* and call 2.2Million users "scum" shows to me what an ugly person YOU are. Like I...

LongShort, what is wrong with you? Did you really just call a board on Reddit "Fed-enabled scum" ?!?! You sound like a whiny child that either lost money or some of your moronic friends in the L/S world took a beating on Gamestop. Too bad. Cry me a river. And you are 100% wrong on the SEC...

Hi, Does anyone have the back story on what happened to RGM Advisors and which parts DRW took over? It seems some that did not stay on with DRW started up other firms like Bridgefront. My understanding is that RGM Advisors strategies stopped making money and their edge had decayed due to...

Hi Eugene, So it looks like you are using some form of Genetic Optimization or even Genetic Programming to calibrate on previous price history and then selecting on the highest fitness value. And then these parameters and/or derived strategies are applied out-of-sample for the next day. And...

I have to say their office is VERY nice - floor to ceiling windows with beautiful views of downtown Austin and plenty of natural light coming in... word is their comp is not the best and that they have been losing some people recently but they do have a nice operation and seem to be _the_...

Hi, Does anyone have any insight into the kinds of algo's being implemented at the hardware level now by many of the banks and hfs? Specifically, in the HFT space there seems to be a growing movement towards the use of DSPs [fast multiply accumulate] as well as some FPGAs. So I'm...

Hi, Does anyone have any experience or know anything about RGM Advisors in Austin? Obviously secretive place but curious if anyone has any idea of AUM, historical returns, strategies used, etc... Tks... Transatlantic

Hi, Does anyone know of any off-the-shelf software that includes support for Bloomberg Feeds and order submission via FIX or QuickFIX? I think Multicharts, for example, supports Bloomberg but not FIX. Ninjatrader, to the best of my knowledge, does not support either. I have an...

Mr Black, Nice charts. Maybe this is a dumb question, but could you please walk us through an example entry from the first chart [attachment] you posted? I'm not clear if your usage of the usual MACD divergence is the same as what is commonly used or a little different. Thanks. -S

Hi, Was wondering if anyone uses path dependence in their trading strategies and models for Spot. I'm not talking about Monte Carlo to price Exotic Options. I'm talking about statistically significant path dependence in Spot. This is somewhat controversial amongst those in the know, so I...

I totally agree. I was lucky enough to buy 2 licenses way back when (and still use them), and only now am I realizing how ahead of the curve The Grail and Wouter were and all of us who were using it back in the day... funny enough I have been inside some major investment banks and hedge...

Hi, I'm not sure how many on here know of the The Grail software that was available for TradeStation a couple of years ago. It combined Genetic Optimization software with a comprehensive Walk-Forward test analysis suite as well. It is no longer available to the public. I was wondering...

Warning to those that are new: there is alot of misinformation in this thread. "your combine sharpe is above 1, but your profits are less per capital in use at the same time, so the overall risk/reward ratio is still the same." Note that Maestro has his own definition of "risk/reward" that...

I believe someone may have replied suggesting that Quality and FX do not exactly go hand in hand. While I know what you are getting in, I would offer the following: 1) Are Fx Futures time-series inherently of poor quality? 2) Re: Spot Fx, it is true that there are multiple liquidity...

Hi Brent, Thanks for your reply, but it doesnt really answer my question: 1) I dont want to use GAIN Capital for anything. 2) I need to download high-frequency historical data. An API is not going to help here. 3) I need a time-series file, not a broker or another charting package...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a high-quality data provider that has high-frequency FX data going back several years. Olsen is the gold-standard and in my opinion the best but they are very very expensive. Looking at the 1Min historical fx data from GAIN, for example, it looks...

Hi, Ok, so I am trying to figure out an appropriate methodology for attaching a set of exit conditions (stops and take profits) to a set of entry rules that I believe have merit. Previously I have always been using something like that following: Stop Loss: Fixed or ATR based Take Profit...
