    New to Systems Trading

    I only required the data from year 2000 onwards as I am mainly interested in the major EUR/xxx currency pairs. I didn't find any gaps in the data. If you have any technical questions, it's probably best to email Disktrading directly, but from a customer experience, I was more than happy with the...

    New to Systems Trading

    Most of the data providers will give you some historic data, usually about 10,000 bars worth. Which is a lot of 'Day' bars, but not a lot of '1 Minute' bars! There are plenty of historic data providers specialising in a whole range of financial instruments, I used FOREX Historical Data, Major...

    New to Systems Trading

    I always recommend NinjaTrader (www.ninjatrader.com), but that's because it's free for system development, backtesting and has several free data sources. I've been using it now for a few years, and also purchased a multi-broker license. However, there are plenty more including eSignal...

    How to make money from investment/trading research?

    One possible way around the FSA regulations might be to setup your website/company outside of the EEA, and ensure that you could prove that the company is managed/controlled from a non-EEA location. You could then make calls on the UK market without requiring regulation.....but would your...

    How to make money from investment/trading research?

    Would you be based in the UK or Austria? Would you be pitching your information at UK individuals (retial clients) or just IFA's/Professional clients? I think you might find that you'll need to be an FSA authorised/approved person to sell the reports/information, or to produce things like...

    How can I backtest strategies?

    You could always try using a strategy development language that has an easy-to-use interface. I'm sure several exist, but the one I've found easiest is NinjaTrader. Complex strategies can be developed in C#, but basic-to-intermediate strategies can be developed and backtested using a point and...

    IMC study material

    I've been using 7City for my IMC. I also did a maths course with them last year. Both distance learning courses. Very clear training materials, I would recommend them.

    The Coin System

    I agree. In real trading, a strategy like this isn't going to 50/50 win/lose. I was just trying to replicate Victor's 'theoretical system'. I've just knocked up the strategy and backtested it over 4 1/2 years of $GBPUSD on an hourly chart. About 35% of the trades are profitable, and the system...
