Welcome to the Yahoo group dedicated to the development of Automatic Trading Systems using the RightEdge development platform. This is intended to be a place...
I have uploaded a document to the 'Document' folder in the files section of this group. "JumpStartRE.doc" is an attempt by a user to identify some of the...
The January 2007 issue of Stocks&Commodities has an article by David Penn "What's in a Trend". It has a nice overview of a few trend-following techniques. It...
Excellent chart for context for the discussion. It is to be remembered that the original question is how to deal with the 'extreme point'. The extreme point is...
There is another discussion of the Wilder 'extreme point' here <http://www.forex.com/forex_trend_indicators.html> (plus some other interesting trend following...
Somebody at RE created the Ratio.cs strategy. (Thank you. Nice work.) A very interesting thing about this is that I think it points the way to solutions to...
I have been working on a strategy, step by step, as a means of learning to use RightEdge. The strategy per se is not the point; mostly it is a vehicle for...
Since I am a beginner/intermediate VB/C# programmer, there are aspects of this program that are not quite clear to me, but let me surmise some characteristics....
Thanks Daniel. It is always nice to know I am not too far afield in my coding knowledge. (BTW, what would you suggest as good C# or VB.NET reference books?) As...
I thought I would bring to your attention a web site I regard as complementary to RE. It uses the same (so-called line-style) indicators as RE and has an...
I have been mulling over how to use RE to provide end-of-day (EOD) signals. In this case the objective it not to have RE automatically trade but rather to...
As a former subscriber of stockfetcher, I'd like to add that it does what it does very well. I was a pleased customer when it fit my needs. If I remember...
A couple of points. First, if you're depending on Yahoo data to be available by 4:30, you'll be disappointed. I've had some symbols show as late as 10:00pm....
My sense is, because it is 'just a screener' one never really bears down to produce a complex, refined strategy. I've wondered about that importable or...
I wonder how often 4:30 vs 10:00pm Yahoo data would tilt the setting of a trigger? I think it is such a delicate balance as to be generally not consequential...
The more I think about it the better I like the idea of being able to write to a "User's Tab" during a simulation, rather than the Scan tab. My permanent...
This question came up in the context of EOD processing, where the observation was made 'it might be nice to know what triggers were tripped' even though in...
First, let me welcome a couple of new joiners to this list. Like you, we are here to try to figure out how to make the most of RightEdge. I use IB as my broker...
Talking about how to play consecutive closes, higher or lower: http://biz.yahoo.com/tm/070126/15384.html Puts a new spin on playing the trend. But I notice...
Thanks Bill. That certainly looks pretty much on target. (The strategy does not copy from the forum to RE; it pastes in as all one line which is slowing down...
I solved the copy problem by first pasting into Word, then copying that and pasting into RE. Works like a charm, awkward though it is. -Pete ... strategy ... ...
Using 2 years of daily Yahoo data for COGO, HPC, HRP and NTGR this strategy is profitable (barely, apr 6%) for 3 out of 4 of those stocks. Cursorily checking...
For the strategy with the modified exit conditions: Ending capital is $16,164 (APR 26.21%) versus $17,163 (APR 29.93%) for buy-and-hold. Don't see a by-symbol...
The scan tab is empty because no symbol matched your buy criteria. So in this case, no symbol went down x bars consecutively. If this did happen, you be...
I have been reading "New Trading Systems and Methods" 4th ed., By P. J. Kaufman (all 1174 pages). He gives an overview of a thorough list of (previously...
In my continuing quest to better understand the state of automatic trading systems I have completed reading two more books. (I didn't buy them; the reference...
