Intra-day bars...

I’ve been considering testing our Blox LTTF strategy using 30 or 60 minute data. Does anyone have a recommendation on where to find this data? I do not need tick or 5 minute or anything like that. 60 minute bars would be sufficient. We currently use an eod feed from Pinnacle. Thanks in advance! Dave

Re: Seykota's FAQ

rajiv: "..How the hell does that help in trading????? Completely agree rajivm. Ed would have so much to offer but the obscurity of his answers and the high-and-mightyness of those obfuscated responses don't do anything to advance a trader. Would have been nice if his FAQ was really about tradin...

It would be easy enough to test out the question if $10,000 is enough with which to start trading. Your question can be answered by doing some simple testing. Use $10,000 as your starting test equity and run the system over multiple time frames using a few different parameters. The answer to your qu...

I’m not so sure what we are complaining about or are so worried about. Isn’t this the thing we trend-followers get ‘paid’ for? To sit through times like these? I would assume these sorts of times are one of the scenarios Ed Seykota was referring to in the Whipsaw Song; ‘just file the news....
