  2. whats wrong with newbies coming in this business, I welcome them since they have no effect on my trading.

    Why would you hate someone new?

    Sort of like a NBA star hating because a 15 year old is practicing on the parks courts.

    Except many of you aren't nba stars, thats why the hate is strong

    Welcome newbies,

    tradestatiion is good for automated trading.

  3. I think you should try to learn to trade yourself, before trying to teach a computer to trade.

    This newbie is actually a very lucky/smart newbie - he began by asking questions on the best section of the best financial forum.

    Most people have to go through years of losses with a variety of losing methods (wrong analysis, no analysis, wrong broker, wrong platform, wrong financial instrument, etc.), before even knowing the existence of things like "automated trading" or "trading systems".

    You might want to take a look at TradeMaven.

    Also, the following book, especially the last three chapters, 21, 22, & 23 (look inside at the table of contents). Can buy used for not too much. Probably money and time well spent for a system trader.

    Good Luck

    P.S. Don't let a few sharp comments stop you from asking more questions. There is a lot of good info and help on this board!!!


    Also, Perry has a newer book out but I am not familiar with it.
