This kind of stuff goes with the territory and happens to the best of us. I use proprietary tools I've developed to evolve and backtest trading...
Got it. I've been doing more or less the same thing (been at it since 2000). IQFeed goes back to 2007 on stocks, 2005 on futures. PiiTrading...
Depending on the margin requirements of the symbol you're trading, the leverage of futures contracts can range from 10:1 up to over 100:1. Its...
Hmm..How did you get 10 years of historical 1min quotes? Looks like futures on both esignal and kenetick only go back 2 or 3 years... Does...
Forgot to ask: Who's your intraday historical quote provider? (I use IQFeed along with PiiTrading's historical quote CDROMs, which go back to...
Just an observation, but using longer bar lengths would imply that you are increasing your hold times as well (since your execution granularity is...
Interesting stuff - appreciate your candidness. Can you expand your exit executions a bit more? Are you using a target, time stop, or are...

Look forward to checking out your results. Was wondering if you could you share some stats: 1) Ave no of trades/day/symbol 2) Ave hold...

Props to the little guy swimming in front of the shark's nose - talk about balls, lol [img] The next time someone asks me to describe what I...
The video makes some interesting and valid points, but I couldn't help noticing the constant fear mongering, self-referencing statements to papers...
Yeah, TWC's suckage is legendary. They are definitely in a race to the bottom (and they're winning). Makes one wonder if they are owned by B...
I had a T-1 connection with Earthlink at my business, but it was slower and more expensive than my TWC connection. Earthlink was also a nightmare...
Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, I switched over to openDNS a while back, as I noticed TWC was playing games with their DNS, and was generally...
Just an update: I contacted TWC and they asked me if I use a Belkin router and I told them no, I have a DLink DGL-4500. Then after leaving...
