I really can't say what the differences are. I'm not all that familiar with VB so the differences aren't apparent to me. So far I would say that VB.NET and C#.NET are very similar... the difference between them seems to just be nuiances in the syntax. C# isn't all that hard to learn if you have a ba...

I would try vb.net. This will be easier than learning c++ since you have a vb background. Try this book... its very good. Visual Basic.NET Coach by Salvage, Jeff You can get it used on Amazon for less than $30 and its retail is $75. Lots of universities use Jeff's books in the classroom. I'm using i...

Sir G, I would only feel comfortable if I used the same parameters for both long and short. I would feel comfortable using different values for the parameters if I could understand why they should be different statistically or theoretically. If I simply optimized them to different values I would not...

Ok, I understand. Its not that the program is limited but that its transferability to others is limited. I thought about that as well. Since it was only $99 ( goes up to $599 in October ) I figured it was a great deal for doing the testing part. Later on I will dive in and do the hard coding. I don'...

Karakoram, Here is a website that has C# source code for technical analysis: http://www.modulusfe.com/welcome.asp Note, that currently they do not provide a backtesting engine. Later this year they are coming out with one though. As Sir G. is, I'm also curious what about QuantStudio won't work for y...

I consider the difference to be based on the number of trades in a given time t and the average length of each position held. For example. If in 360 days you place 30 trades with each trade lasting on the average 4 days that would be a short-term swing trading system. Swing trading just means that y...

Bollinger, your response makes a lot of sense to me. You have to strike a balance between ROR, Volatility/Risk, and Margin requirements that you feel comfortable with. Because you can't trade everything under the sun you pick what markets have worked well in the past, not necessarily ideal but bette...

Damian, I see how my post was confusing. Let me clarify. My agreement was in terms of the stock market. The more stock you own the more you become the market and your performance will thus mimic the market. In terms of commodities I don't see how this applies unless it is being suggested that the mo...
