What's with all the nastiness in this thread? You all are gonna drive off yet another person who actually makes their living trading.
I can't say if the TWS scanner has made me money or not. What I can say though is it's stopped me from entering trades where the risk-adjusted...
It's not magic, if that's what you're implying. It just optimizes in the sense that if there's a strategy with break-even at points (x, y) and one...
Interactive Brokers TWS has a solid strategy scanning tool in the Strategy Builder. It's pretty straightforward: you put in your forecast and it...

What you folks are describing with the "curve fitting" is exactly why you have a separate training set and test set. It is not statistically...
Sorry to disappoint, but I've never heard of the book.
Err... "Cool in a crisis? UW Emergency Management seeks volunteer responders"? Not sure what that has to do with anything. I'm just talking about...
How did you create your model? I think a lot of people do backtesting wrong. In machine learning there's a concept of a training set and a test...
Think of it this way. If it was a regularly profitable strategy, why would anyone ever sell options? It would always be a losing proposition....
Err, no they wouldn't. By definition they make money on the trade, just less money.
I think we'd need an actual lawyer to answer this question. Because you're totally right -- from the broker's standpoint, if it's not illegal,...
We just spent two pages teasing the exact description out of you, and I'm still not sure you exactly have it. If you want the code, you are...
Forget about the *how* to do it. Just focus on actually defining the problem completely. Then once you have it defined, implementation is...
This is still not a well-defined problem. You specified that a 10%+ drop from a given date represented such a gap to be recorded, but what if the...
Hi syswizard, the problem you posed is still ill-defined. Does the 2000 represent a peak (ie the prior day is < 2000), or is it entirely arbitrary...
Assuming you mean figure 3, that depends on how exactly you define "10% correction". How would you define it?
This might be an unpopular opinion but stop being a leech. Rather than pay for a proxy service, how about just paying for the data service? The...
Is there a data feed that has these particularly well? Right now I'm just using the feed that comes with IB and they don't even go back very far...
@DarthSidious I think you may have confused me with someone else. I'm already using the trial, and I was looking for someone else's experiences to...
Separate names with a comma.
