Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    How old are you?

    But you never said that before. Anyway, my point still hold true IMO. After all:

    - You HAVE multicharts and are weighing whether to dump it. That IS NOT the point of this thread.
    - You are not considering whether to GET multicharts. That IS the point of this thread.

    Don't worry, I know I have a clue...do you?

    No, I'm just well aware of how the moronic element, which is all too common on this forum, and seem incapable of not hijacking threads for their own purposes.

    That said, my advice to you was well intended (though not well received). Unfortunately, it would appear that the subliminal "dumbass alert" warning me that anyone posting such a tangential post is somewhat likely to be of the neanderthal tendancy would appear, sadly, to be correct.

    So, take up your blunt instruments if you wish and attempt to bludgeon me with them - you will receive no reply. Just know that I look down upon your pathetic and childish rant with the contemptuous disdain it deserves.


    Thx

    Please explain “technical system that do well are trend following breakout or pattern based systems.” Thanks.

  3. I think he forgot the commas...see above.
    Trend following and break-out are TWO separate systems. IOW :
    Trend-following != Breakout

    That being said, I'd really like to hear about the success (or more likely failure) of pattern-based systems.
    I saw one technical trader spend years back-testing some patterns for intraday futures trading, then went live with them on a website for all to see. That lasted about 3 months. Massive losses were the obvious reason for pulling the website.

  6. I see from my Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities that TradersStudio now is contributing to Traders Tips. It's nice to see that.

  7. If I am correct, “Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities” is a magazine, if so, is it possible to you to post a screenshot of the contribution?

    MCsux, if you try the last beta (4.0), MultiCharts has improved a lot, in my opinion is now one of the best trading platform available

  10. Hi ,
    I am following this thread posts for some time. I recently downloaded trading blox software and liked it because
    - superior back testing strategies with ease ( portifolio testing )
    - and it's easy but powerful programming abilities .

    I liked it much better than tradestation , traderstudio etc..
    Over all I liked it and planning to buy the software , only issue is it costs $3000 , bit expensive for me. The company mentioned they give 2 licenses to install on 2 different computers.

    I am wondering if anybody is interested to share the cost so that each can have his own copy.
    If interested , send me a private message .

    By the way here are the links to trading blox manuals
    By clicking on left hand side links on these manuals gives complete details of the product .
