1. If a profitable automated system is being sold, that should be your red flag right there. It is probably useless, or has outlives its...
The answer is: whatever the programmer is most comfortable with.
Stating whether a strategy is "high risk" or not is hardly "divulging" it.
Only true if you go it alone.
Matlab has a whole toolbox for curve-fitting. Can't say I have much experience with that toolbox, however.
It seems that, in the end, that is what the contest is. A viable real-life strategy would not win this contest, and the strategy that wins this...
A lot depends on how you are planning to "learn" how to program. Academically? Do-it-yourself? Are you completely new to programming?...
Are you implying that the improvements you are working on now are non-algorithm related (i.e. infrastructure, money management, fail-safe...
Only true if you're going it alone, which is already setting yourself up for a very difficult task to begin with.
Okay, I'll give it a shot: Both take time and money, I'm not sure why you're so quick to conclude that one is more effortful or...
Wow. I don't even know where to start. Technophobia at it's finest.
I think it may make such operations easier for the programmer since this functionality is built in and since it is a scripting language, but...
My impression from significant use of both languages is programming in MATLAB is easy for simple things, i.e. data manipulation, or other serial...
Having used Matlab a lot for engineering purposes as well, my hesistance to use it for an ATS would be based not on speed concerns but due to it...
Possibly other 3rd party software, but not faster than an ATS written in C or C++ and <gasp> perhaps even Java.
That is correct. I don't know why I kept repeating negative correlation, probably because I've heard it used around here in this same context a...
Right, I would put that in the category of "roughly equivalent profitability", when taking into account the respective drawdowns. The general...
I don't see it being nearly that simple. Sure, if you have systems A and B, they show negative correlation and are roughly equivalent in terms...
I disagree with this philosophy for two reasons. 1) Wild, unpredictable moves while you are in a position may hurt, but they can also go in...
Like I said in the original post, I wouldn't be a big fan of the system to begin with because of its equity curve, I'd prefer something quite a...
