I would check the markets included. The CSI World Futures collection is quite large (900+ markets) compared to other providers. The flexibility in back adjusting algorithms is quite nice. The ability to select months to trade and select different roll over triggers is key. Including the Delivery Mon...

Hi TEH, The max usable memory for the 32 bit version of Trading Blox 2.1 is 2GB. So if your computer has 3GB that is probably the max you need, leaving space for windows and other applications. The max usable memory for the 64 bit version of Trading Blox is limited only by the hardware. Generally gr...

Denis, Unless the application you are using is multi-threaded, ie it can use the multiple processors at the same time, you will not see a speed increase on a per application basis. You will be able to run multiple applications at the same time more easily, but each application will run at the same s...

Hi nodoodahs, The Trading Blox Builder edition is the one that you would need. The other editions do not support custom system development. They are for non programmers and allow drag and drop system construction using existing blox. Your strategy could be implemented with minimal effort in Trading ...

I thought it would be interesting to look at the different components of total risk. This is the DMA system mentioned above, with 28 futures trading. It uses the same large stop (10 ATR) for illustration purposes. The graph shows three things: 1) Total Risk, Open Equity Risk (distance between close ...

By the way does anyone have a theory why the green line (dual moving average system) isn't perfectly pegged at 100.00 percent all throughout the test? It it a reversing system after all. I doubt it's because of a code bug, that code looks correct to me. The DMA system has an option to enable Stops....

I think a discretionary component to any system is a healthy thing, whether used for better fills, or as a signal or market filter of some sort. BUT a key to using this type of strategy is to track and measure each discrete portion. Track and measure the results of your purely systematic approach, a...

Hi Seraphim, Yes, the CSI data can include delisted stocks. They assign a unique symbol to address this issue, so there are no duplicates. Trading Blox will read this data and use it per normal. You can do more complex things, like only include stocks with certain volume limits, or certain trading h...
