Backtesting daytrading strategies

  1. But certainly don't expect any support from NT when you try to figure out how to write your strategy. If it's advanced enough, they won't be able to help, and will point you to their "3rd party programmers" that don't take responsibility for their own code.

  3. Well, it shows how unknown they are, since I've never heard of them. I'm not about to pay monthly fees plus data fees for it.

    The BTICK BVOL indicators would enable VWAP.

  4. I wonder if you've looked at RINA's new product, PortfolioMaestro?

    What about Stockfinder from Worden? How does it compare to all the others mentioned in this thread?

    Thanks

    you guys seem to have pretty hands-on experience with Amibroker.


    If I have my own data and use only for backtesting (not RT), will TradersStudio be better to use than Amibroker?

    thanks!

    That subject has been hashed alot on et. Do a "TradersStudio and Amibroker" search and read all about it.

    Ninja is good for futures trading and if you want to trade a specific basket of stocks. If you want to trade a specific setup across the entire market then take a look at Trade-Ideas. There's no other scanner out there that lets you look at this data across the market in real time.

    No coding required and their "Odds Maker" backtester is lightning fast.

  10. Wow. That describes what professional traders and hedge funds routinely call "Nirvana" and did you say "cheap"? That combination is truly a deadly weapon to profit seriously from the markets. So usually those that have it never offer it publicly. And those that do offer that functionality publicly are very pricey and/or picky about who gets access.

    tickzoom, for example, is currently closed to new members.
