Good question. I was also looking for something like that. Maybe someone can help.

Are you a moron or what?

ROFLMAO !!!!!!! A lot of newbies lately asking about an edge. ATTENTION, ATTENTION NEWBIES When you get one you'll know it. Just keep in mind it takes anywhere from 5 to 10 years if your IQ is above 180 to more than 10 years if your IQ is above 140 but less than 180 and maybe 20 years...

Geek programmers can show you how to wash your teeth while at the same time you are drinking your coffee. Gross...

rvince99, IMO you are mixing up two different things: portofolio diversification through allocation and trading risk (of ruin) management. Portoffolio diversification deals with unsystemic risk. A well-diversified portofolio in inversely correlated assets protects capital from risk related...

During the bulish period your system should generate many more long trades as compared to short. The other way around during bearish periods. If your system generates many long trades during a bearish period it is not a good system.

High frequency stat arb is the way to go

Get one of those programs that develop system for you (search for systems) according to your criteria (day vs. swing trading, high vs. low frequency, high vs. low R:R, etc.) Do not waste your time testing systems when most traders use programs that find systems and can get them to generate...

Is TLT the most liquid bond ETF?

Two excellent posts. Thank you guys.

How much are you willing to pay upfront for such an idea? You are trying to get it for free in a place crowded with software vendors. I have a good idea for something that is fairly new - there are only 2 or 3 solutions available out there, one way too expensive and the other not fully...
