Quoting lonespruceDislikedHey BeachBum,
My VP output for 20apr06 lists the NI for usdjpy as 0.58 - my data provider is Genesis.
Just curious about the discrepancy.
Here is my output today:Ignored

Quoting lonespruceDislikedOkay - I must be seeing crooked??! In my output from post 342 - there is an extra row/date "04/14/06" - this date is completely missing from the output from CSI.
??!!?!?!! :surprisedIgnored
Quoting RocketDislikedLast nights tradeing was a good example of when to use discretion and call it! I had hits on most of the pairs last night and by 7:00am EST, while some where ouy of the money I was still up 50 or 60 pips .... the market was looking weak but I hung in long enough for my 60 pips to turn into a 100 lost ........ live and learn....
Which has me thinking about settling for a good profit at the risk of unkown waters and setting a profit limit on the day or week .... any thought on this from anyone??

Quoting Dave1DislikedI too took a loss on Cable, on receiving my Sell signal, entered the market 00.00 gmt and got spiked out around 8am as the market dragged itself up.
BTW, is there any more information on which is the best data provider to use as my CSI trial period has just expired and I now have to purchase a service.
Regards.

Quoting BeachBumDislikedHi Dave.....
Rocket has indicated he will prepare a data service provider comparison spreadsheet. I'm waiting for the results because I believe we will find out one will stand out as being more useful than the others.
Since your CSI trial is almost over, why not sign up for a free trial with one of the others, perhaps Genesis?Ignored
Quoting canonerDislikedGreating to everyone. I am new to the board. Knowing that I am considering of purchasing VP, a friend pointed me to read Fiji's reports. I have enjoyed reading everyone's post and especially Fiji's. It is a good learning experience.
One thing I noticed is that most people here use VP to trade Forex pairs. I was actually thinking of buying a package for metal and energy markets. Does anyone have personal experience of using VP on those markets? Are VP prediction as helpful for those markets as for forex pairs? I'd really appreciate any input.
Thank you all.Ignored
Quoting bernadetteDislikedCanoner, when I first purchased Vantagepoint, in 2003, the forex modules were not available. I was using it solely for trading commodities futures. Now that I have added forex to my portfolio, I still use VP for futures trades and it is still very effective. You just need to develop the correct strategy.Ignored
Quoting bernadetteDislikedI know about data from Genesis (I use this one...) and CSI for vantagepoint, but are there any other data providers that VP recommends?Ignored
Quoting canonerDislikedThanks. Does VP come with sample strategies? I've read the threads about forward testing, and I left a bit confused. How easy is it to test a strategy using historical data in VP? I've used another neural network based program called tradingsolution. It is fairly easy to test a strategy there. It breaks down to three steps: training, cross checking, and out of sample testing .The trouble with that program is that users have to play with the modeling part and I spent a lot of hours and still couldn't find a good model for just one index. From what I read, VP does the modeling part by itself, but somehow testing strategies is not as easy. Am my understanding it right?
By the way, when you use VP to help you trade commodities, what is the average length of your positions? Hours or days? Thanks.Ignored
