How about these;
(Note that GLD's suposed H&S is very well advertised. It seems every man & his dog knows about this one . . . we at least my mutt & I know)

I use Premium data rather than CSI but I can confirm that for Monday 8th Feb 2010 I have the following;

Corn C (Floor only) - Low = 354 3/4
Corn C2 (Floor & Electronic) - Low = 347 1/4

(basically as per Sluggo's CSI data above)

Yes, the point of it all is that there are lots & lots & lots of things one can do.
As the old saying goes “Life is too short to be boredâ€

You could work on your Jazz chords . . . practice makes perfect you know.

Sluggo,

I found exactly what i was looking for.

Greetings all, I’m hoping that someone may be able to help me out with the following; I want to find a particular thread that I recall reading about 6-12 (?) months ago. It was posted by a user who had stated that he/she had developed his/her systems and ‘all’ they needed was a large sum of mo...

I am not, as yet, a Trading Blox customer, so I will post this question here rather than at the customer support forum. (which of course I’m unable to access) o.k. here goes; With Blox, I can back test a given portfolio with a given system parameter set over a given time frame (say 1985-2005) and ...

I see lower highs and lower lows. This sequence has been in effect since May 2008 & has not yet been broken, even taking onto account yesterdays 24% upside move on huge volume By definition, the Trend is still down. - Trendfollowers would keep away (from the long side) - Bottom Pickers & 'ba...

Thank you kindly for clarifying this matter for me.
Much appreciated.

Hi Kiwi, From IB, some time back, i received the following message in response to a querry re: MOO orders for futures trading. IB apologizes for the length of time it took to respond to your inquiry on this trouble ticket. MOO are not supported for future contracts That, to me, seems strange that th...

Since, Mr Sleeman's study appeared on the Trading tribe site I would guess that he wrote it in the present tense to conform with the prefered TT requirement to 'speak' in the present tense.

From Sluggo; And for those who don't, think of the time and money and effort you conserved. Classic!! Insights, discoveries & success, more often than not, tend to accrue to those who are willing to put in the 'hard yards' Or as Thomas Edison might say; “Success is 10 percent inspiration and ...

How about introducing a longer term trend filter to this system? You could take long signals only if the the trend filter is in 'Long Mode' You could take short signals only if the the trend filter is in 'Short Mode' One of the pre-packed Blox systems does just that.

My current belief system does indeed support the “Markowitz Free lunchâ€

Hi Sluggo, From your experience, do you feel that these more ‘obscure’ (or perhaps, not as well known) markets make better candidates for systematic trading? I have not studied this (& I may be way wrong here) but I am thinking that due to mass public participation in markets such as S&P...

Well said ‘adamant’ Your comments certainly provide food for thought about whether any edge that is currently being enjoyed will prove to be fleeting one or one with a long life or even subject to long up/down cycles. Does anyone really know? Can this be predicted or modelled? How does one know ...

Hi Mike, If you checked out the link above re: Premium data futures market coverage you will have seen that Premium Data supplies British Pound data ONLY for the combined session (i.e. Electronic/Globex AND Floor) There is no provision for ‘Floor only’ for the Pound (or other CME markets) Contra...

Any good data vendor suggestions?
