I have a few bucks in micros I use for bots...

I agree, back testing sucks. Run a bot live, run a bot demo for a week...then run the back test on both...
Guess what?
Typically 4 different results....

still i'm not a fan of automations...
unfortunately PA is very complex and needs a shit-load of input (live input + experience) for a trader to make some sense out of it. Now imagine explaining that (programming) to a machine in order to analyse, act (get in) and react (get out) and in the end do a good job.

But ppl buy it...I mean how stupid can you be to spend 600$ on a piece of code, some guy boasted here last week about, that does shit? btw, i found it on fileshare, if any of you were plannig to buy that... don't.

Any newbie programmer can make a 3-line script that compares 2 indicators to enter a trade, OB's, OS, MA's and exits trailing stops or SL at preset nr of pips.

I don't see the point, unless you are a full out engineer, to tackle the DDL { Data Definition Language} side of SQL.

ALL you need to do is workup the inputs which can be self-taught without the 10 years of MIT education.

Anyone here who claims to engineer SQL databases here is full of Crap, if you are an SQL database engineer for complicated API systems, then what are you doing here instead of working for Google or Facebook making a lot more money.

I don't know, to each their own.

i think i told you before. the only way I would go about it is go after a tick chart. 1-2 pips at a time. the market is so complex that you need to go down to the lowest level you can. once you do that then you run into a different set of problems: speed. the system better be able to process huge amounts of data in a fraction of a second. you are talking extremely expensive machines, software (better be distributed), connectivity, etc. very hard to do....

edit: i have friends working for trading companies. they have PHDs mathematicians running their models. then the implementation is a whole different story altogether. At one time I interviewed with one of these flash trading companies. The programmers were mostly PHDs from MIT. That's what you are dealing with here.

A system trading based on a cross of some sort is a joke.

I tested out one of them learning robots last year...day one, it did okay...day 2, rapid fire traded taking entries and exits within the same 30 seconds...lost over 80 bux on that one...not the issue on the loss, but imagine some poor schmuck dropping that onto a standard account? 800 pip loss in 3 hours....

I have seen some great ideas for comparing indies but in end, they just don't end up testing that well...

Manual works for me...and I can hit a few accounts with trades in a matter of seconds...get in, get out...wait....

Sad but true, the FI boys are deciding for him as we speak. That will be the next big fundie trigger Sisse and I have been discussing in the last few weeks.
i have been trying to catch this fundie aswell but as we know this kind of things take time to occure if it is a government problem, they can hide till the deadlines, yields were rising for weeks just today it was a bit lower coz of decissions taken at weekend, soon i guees 10 yr yields for them will be %8 than it will be time for entering a position.

the company i was talking about in the post above was buying and selling a stock multiple times withing A MILLISECOND. They did have traders, it was not all automated, but the traders were only moving the levers of the software, if you will.

Don't they have any responsability? Guilt ?

But as someone said, dont blame the seller for offering shit,
blame the buyer that pays for that.

everyone has a demo account, I was stating that it is TALENT to have the exact same trade in real time across multiple platforms, I admire that!

"playing around here is pure amusement" - so I see!



1 argument, read through his post ... if you are going to ride someone for their trades, show yours! that is why

"twee will provide my language in this context" - kk!



I really am a fan, not only a top trader with all top data feeds but you are a programmer. Why aren't you working on those algo's for BOA or Chase?

Trading is trading ... and programming is another thing ...

Programmers do not earn that much ... even then if they work for a huge company ... they are still programmers ... nicht weniger ... aber auch nicht mehr ...

When you have developed a high grade system ... and such things do exist ... there is no need to have knowledge of programming for that ...

Das sind Auftragsarbeiten ... and India is well known for having high skills in writing very good programms for any purposes ...

But the origin Ideas have nothing to do with those programms ... and I can give an order to a company to do such things ... without letting them know why and what it is needed for ...

One of the famoust BLACKBOX ALGOS has been developed there in India ...

But such things are costly ... not because of the programmers ... but because of the high standarts of development prior to those results in automatisation ...

Automatisation is one step back from origin ... and automatisation is not the major key ...
