    Has anyone ever used or thought about using DSP in
    their strategies or even investigated using it?

    Without you going into precise 'secret' details which I can
    understand you wouldnt want to reveal, could you go into
    alittle more detail in how you implemented it within your
    strategies?


    Thanks again,

    IMHE (E=Experience) It is worthless unless you already know how to trade. What I have developed is helpful here and there, and does give me an isolated edge, but it is not worth its return to me.

    I went down this complex path a while back - it was almost a big waste of time.

    IMHO, Better off just learning to trade and leave the complex stuff behind.

    Thanks for your reply nitro. Appreciate it.

    When you say edge do you mean for example that it
    is effective in 'showing up' trends etc..?

    There are many different ways to use it - If I were to use it to trade, I would use it more to discover what is not so obvious (as the "trend")

    Splat,
    Probably the best known purveyor of signal processing
    applications to trading, at least for futures, is John Ehlers.
    His recent book, "Rocket Science for Traders - Digital
    Signal Processing for Traders" makes for interesting
    reading. It's quite challenging if you don't have the
    math background. He also has a book on MESA, with
    a new edition to be out soon.

    By the way, Ehlers' trading systems consistently appear
    in the top ten rated systems of Futures Truth.

  9. Never tried DSP, but I can tell you that ESP doesn't work.

    Thanks for the tip on the book. I spent about $800
    the other day on trading books. That was infact one
    of the books I ordered :cool: Should be able to understand it, hopefully.

    Sounds like you have the book. If you really do, what do
    you think of the book? Also are the techniques described in
    the book mainly for futures?
