  1. Superbands, with Linear Regression Analysis does that. And the price is the opening tick no matter the exchange.

  2. No I didn't tell anyone to follow the system. i said here's an idea let's learn how to do a backtest of this idea.

    Why do I need to present a backtest for that?

    I think you're confused about what the purpose of the thread was. Again, it was to do a backtest and to discuss the issues that can arise and make backtests misleading. That kind of knowledge is what separates people like you from traders.

    The goal, here and with trainees, is to teach people how to ask the questions and how to think. Not to provide a system.

    Why does this require a backtest of the idea again?

  3. Yes I think you don't trade.

    50 pages in Word? All the good programmers I know write their code in Word.

    ROFLMAO.

  4. Now, if that doesn't smack of a solicitation, I don't know what does. This is particularly what got under my skin. If it wasn't your intention to have people follow your system, I really didn't get that with this final statement on your opening post, and proceeded to grill you about your system by obtaining a backtest to guage risk on.

  5. And which tick does Superbands execute on Beau?

  6. The opening tick. It is in Tradestation referred to as Intrabar order calculation, which, since you seem to think that it's not possible, tells me you've not really gone very far in programming.

  7. That was word, to give you context only. It's thousands of lines in wealth lab.

    Wealth Lab <i>is for sophisticated users.</i> Any mathematical function is in WL, so I don't know why you think you'd need anything else besides that. It also has statistical functions that I use a lot in my pairs models.

  8. Why do you guys engage this guy, he's sick in the head.

    Put him on ignore and continue with the thread.

    I usually don't do personal attacks but that is one fat mother fucker :-}

  9. Solicitation? I think you don't know what the word means... so apparently know you don't know what does.

    Did you read the entire first post Beau? Because I think you focused in on one thing to the exclusion of everything else and fucked up the whole thread.

    Congrats.

  10. I didn't fuck up the thread, because you have some resemblance of a backtest, without me being here, would still have nothing, and I'd tell you that still.
