I use limit orders for everything, so the spread doesn't come into play. Commish at IB is $4.80 r/t.
Here are the times based on illiquid's suggestion to try the fib series in reverse from the close: 12:06 13:35 14:31 15:04 15:25 15:38...
One question for you - why are 17,1,17 "odd" ? What should they be?
Well, I've always liked X,1,X settings on stochastics. I liked using settings like 34,1,34 on one minute charts in the past. I also like using...
No specific reason why, just thought I'd try them.
A VPN has nothing to do with making a connection cleaner or more stable - VPN's are for security.
Sounds reasonable to me - I'll work up the times in reverse, starting from 16:00 (eastern). I haven't looked at this, the main reason being...
[B] I wouldn't say I don't care about attempts to improve upon this system - I choose not to think about how to improve this system because,...
Leave it to you to turn something not even directed at you into something about you. Diagnosis - NPD.
There really isn't anything subjective about it. With the signal I've been using, either K is above D or it isn't. Either it is one of those...
The only disclaimer you should have is that you didn't acutally code up the system like you stated in the sentence before. Come on. You...
What is assinine is for you to post these results and call it a backtest of the system I've been talking about here. It's not even close, as you...
Bottom line - IMO, it's not possible to backtest something like this since you can't tell your backtesting system "if I didn't get a fill, don't...
I meant it was besides the point that you normally end up getting a fill in real life. That doesn't mean you always will, thus if backtesting...
20*20 = 400, not 800.. however, that is still nutso. :)
And yes, the exit is another reason that backtesting this really doesn't prove anything. If it just trades at the exit price without going...
Of course there is a difference - no doubt. The results I've posted have been realtime trades unless posted otherwise. It's not that hard to get...
How can you have slippage on a limit order? Not possible. You see the open, you put the limit order there, you get filled. You don't get...
ctrader - I think you missed one of the rules - 3 losses in a row are not allowed... :)
opm8 - The values are "fixed" every two minutes, but the values are calculated and displayed with every tick, no matter what period-size chart you...
