Hi All, I'm a mechanical engineering student (and trader) and I have to conduct a survey as part of an assignment I'm doing. The assignment is on an alternative to the traditional tubular metal chassis which suffers performance degradation caused by strain hardening as the kart experiences...

Anyone here using Pinnacle Data? I am and I'm in the process of switching my entire trading system over to a new pc and noticed that the ZS historical data from Pinnacle is lower than it should be by a couple of hundred points. I'm certainly not trying to drag Pinnacles name through the mud...

Thanks for the advice. I'm reasonably aware that many systems are over optimized and look good on paper, then go on to make some money for a short time then fall over, or loose money from day one. There are a couple of systems which I'm interested in as they have had a reasonably good track...

Hi peoples, I'm a discretionary trader of stocks and CFDs, and due to time constraints I'm looking into mechanical trading systems. I'm interested in systems for trading FOREX and futures(of all varieties). I had a look at futures truth and used their lists of top performing systems as a...
