Cheers for the sign ups guys, allocation for this round of testing nearly full so will be closing in the next few days. Anyone who has already been approved or gets approved before testing closes will be given full access to the raw data (stripped of anything personally identifiable) through the...

Also any developers out there who are interested in this sort of thing please get in touch, backend is currently mainly in Python and frontend PHP/MySQL Especially some of the propagation analysis stuff throws up some quite interesting challenges programming wise.

V true but I'd be willing to bet (so to speak!) that a lot of the people in gold at the moment for safety haven't properly distinguished between safety and long term safety - it might be a stable investment over the next ten or twenty years but I reckon they might be in for a shock if they need...

But do you not reckon that if the rise is now being driven by speculation that there isn't really any long term safety in it?

Who knew one little post could do that?! I just think that Golds intrinsic value is fairly minimal (I know it has industrial value but it's not like industrial output has soared recently or anything) so I can't see any reason for the rises except for speculators following those who went to gold...

The Gold rally still bothers me though, the US mint actually stopped trading in their most popular coin (American eagle if I remember rightly) today because they'd run out. I get that historically gold was a safe place to put money but the reasons which made is safe just don't exist any...

I've been working on a project to analyse the perceived seriousness of headlines by looking at a combination of peoples gut reactions to them and the speed at which they propogate from standard points of origin (the major financial press) onto social media networks and smaller niche news...

Does anyone know where I can get TRIN and TICK data for free? At the moment I have no need for a full data feed and charting platform because a combination of IG Index and MEtA Trader are doing a good job so would be very useful to be able to get these numbers easily without signing up for a...

Anybody looking at Daily Brent Crude December contract around 6800 as a possible resistance level?

Don't get me wrong, I agree that the market is not random, I was just wondering on what grounds different people suggest that it isn't and what people define as randomness?

Any more comments on this? Hope no-one minds me reviving an old thread, I'm working on some new things based around it so looking for all the feedback I can get. Cheers

Thanks for the response, lots to think about there. Hope the rest of this makes sense, is quite late so might have to do some editing in the morning! The article with the randomly generated time series was only supposed to be making a comparison between two sets of data which are similar in...

Anyone?

A few months ago I wrote this: http://www.moneywhatmoney.co.uk/index.php/Bens-Articles/Why-We-Can-t-Predict.html (please read on this isn't going to be an advertisement for my site!) It was heavily influence by Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan, mainly because they were the books I was...

Great thread, are you guys writing custom software for your backtests or using something like tradestation?
