Hi all, I am using the c-trader. I started building Traps by following steps as given in vcbuild.pdf file provided in this group. I 've successfully built...
Hello James, If you seed a random number generator with the same value you will get the same sequence of 'random numbers' and hence the same GA output. In some...
Hello James, Unfortunately, as futures contracts are back-adjusted it usually results in negative values at some point. If you run the pinexd.exe program it...
Hi James Many Thanks for your help regarding my query. I've executed the steps you posted and it worked.But again the problem is with mopt p1= 8,12,1 command ...
Hi Siva, I guess you must match the right # of parameters and values, like longs, shorts, open, stop, limit,...etc to the model that you want to test. If you...
Siva, One more thing I like to add to my last post. The exception handling function used in the source code, nrerror("text...."), with declaration in...
Jeff, Is there a possibility that you could show us the Easy Language code for setting up an entry signal on these parms? Best parms: 3 717 997 401 7 782 204...
James, If you could be more specific about the translations, I can convert to easylanguage. What are each of the variables and what exactly does 'down' mean? ...
Hi Trey, Glad you could help. Here is my situation, I spent about a month to convert CTrader and ran a 8-rule-template with genetic algorithm used in the book...
Hello James, I think the easiest way to set this up in EL would be something like the following: Condition1 = Close < XAverage(Close,26.67); Condition2 =...
Trey, Thanks so much for the EL code. I will try them asap. The latter part of your message interested me more than the code for now. It seems to me that you...
James, I think anyone with the drive can learn to trade but it's incredibly difficult. I've been at it for a couple of years and am no where near being a...
Here is some EL code I wrote that might be interesting to some. The comments may need to be cleaned up when you import in order to verify. In other iterations...
Trey, Thanks so much for your insightful and genuine advice and guidance. It feels good to know there are people out there willing to share their experience on...
James, I know of many educated gamblers that went broke. If you get excitement from trading this will only effect your decision making, I believe, it is as...
Hi Ben, Good points you made there and good advice too. In my one year experience trading forex through trial and error, I believe knowledge and experience is...
John Ehlers asks an interesting question in his book "Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures" about whether 'price' is truly a good Gaussian distribution....
Ben, Have you taken any of the Cisco Futures classes? Which do you recommend? Has it led you to subscribe to their tools on an ongoing basis? I have done a...
Kevin, Price, itself, generally follows a log-nornal distribution as it's bound by zero. Gaussian most certainly isn't appropriate when referring to price. I...
Gentlemen, I'm going to play devil's advocate here, having been burned by a vendor in the past. I say anything public is most likely worthless. If you...
This is a common question. It's also an odd question. It assumes that successful trading systems are, by definition, gold mines. A good trading system will...
Of course Richard, I guess the common „statistics“ would remain the same, if you gave a successful strategy to a group of traders. Most will never develop...
Richard, I think it's a completely reasonable question to ask. Of course, we haven't defined successful or profitable, but I certainly don't expect them to be...
The mostly used PDF in many fields is indeed the Gaussian due to the fact that most natural phenomenons follow this distribution because of the central limit ...
Dear Sirs: I'm trying to replicate the table on page 59 of Katz' book; however, I'm having trouble calculating the T-Statistic in Excel. Would you please send...
