Creating own trading system

How about telling us how a "real" programming language beats AFL. Do you even know what the difference is between a "real" language and AFL? I doubt it based on your comments.

 

this guy is seemingly moving from forum to forum stirring the pot wherever he goes.

in this sense he's a model ET user, but since he doesn't listen yet always has a response (or maybe doesn't speak English well? dunno)- it gets old quickly.

If in doubt a little daily dose of sam clemens...

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

― Mark Twain

 

A system that works with a good MAR ratio is, in the long term, more than worth any management fees. The certainty of winning and minimising losses is paramount.

System trading in particular does not work all the time. During a long dry patch, people pull their money out, creating the perfect opportunity for you to ADD TO YOUR ACCOUNT, if you're smart.

 

Even fund would shut down or lose money. If someone is good, of course trade by yourself.

 

You dont sound like you know that much.

I try but tradelink really "suck", just its way to get historical daily price from yahoo and google somehow limit to around 5 years.

I am not trying to build HFT level of trading program, so it should be faster and better for me to build my own.

Fully understand tradelink and make it really work should take much longer time than I build my own, and I will know exactly what is happening in backtest and real trade with my own built system.

 

That's my opinion too - better to start over than build on ????. I am using R for a lot with parts in C#......

 

Have you coded Walk-Forward testing? Is it very hard to code it?
