I have never tested for random entries but I am certainly learning that given the same entry points, it is the exits that make the difference. Take a simple crossover of price over a 100 day moving average and compare it to an identical system which uses a 250 day moving average. And use an envelope...

Tradable Universe
I have recently been reviewing my trading portfolio and to that end was taking a look at the spreadsheet Jake Carriker posted quite some while ago. I have made various corrections and amendments. For instance where the CSI # or Symbol has changed. I have also added up to date references to the actua...

Kianti It would not surprise me in the least that such a charachter still exists. I find corruption in the financial world still exists everywhere - not the least in Switzerland. Certainly in the IPO business, where high ranking account executives in certain banks split IPO profits with certain favo...

Yep, I'm a Brit but the situation is much the same throughout Europe. You can not carry more than £5,000 cash (or somesuch ) across borders: if you do and customs find it they can confiscate it and it leads to all sorts of unpleasant enquiries with the police. You can transfer what you wish by bank...

Marc You just don't seem to be getting the point. There are about 150 tradeable futures. What portfolio do you want tested? What portfolio heat do you want to use? What bet size? What starting capital? What start date? What percentage of market volume are you prepared to trade? You mention TMA and T...

Marc If only life were so simple. We would all like to be told what to do by somebody of infinite wisdom and be reassured that if we followed his advice we would win through: to trading riches, to health, to peace of mind, to heaven or the unmanifest. However, if I have learnt anything over the past...

Thank you Bernd, most interesting. I guess what I had been doing (prior to giving away my old laptop) was just what Damian does. Laplink is excellent software for that. As like Damian, I had the ability to take the backup PC and connect to CSI to download the last few days of data in case of disaste...

As a Man Thinketh - James Allen
As anyone who has read a few of my more esoteric posts will realise, I am much given to the study and practice of the metaphysical. Can't help it - its just my cranky nature I guess. In any event, somewhere on this forum I posted a reference to a book available free on the internet by Wallace D Watt...

Does anyone have any experience of this IB? www.ggmk.com (Worldwide Associates)? I was put through to them by Man/Refco in Chicago when I had a few questions to ask. Which, amazingly, no-one at Man seemed able to explain themselves. I was put through to 4 or 5 or 6 different people none of whom seem...

Bernd I know this is going to sound dumb but I have had a brief look at the website you mention and rather than plodding all through it and ending up none the wiser, I wondered if you could just explain to the less technically able, such as myself, just what this software would do for one in terms o...

CSI
Actually you know, CSI told me a couple of years ago that I could have a backup on another PC for free - and I did this for a while until I gave my old laptop to my 11 year old son. I must give them a call and check this out. I use to back up from one PC to the other using Laplink and it was most ef...

CSI
Good value indeed, I shall have to do the same if I trade my system myself. I guess you also get Pinnacle in case CSI breaks down for a day or two? Do I remember in one or other hurricane recently that CSI were down for a few days?

Thanks Sluggo. I had an instutional brokerage account in the name of my BVI company with Goldmans back in the 90's when I was getting US IPOs from them but sadly closed it down. By the way, are you still using the systems assist route or do you put your own orders in these days? I think I must very ...
