Nice one, I'll check them out. Thanks

Can anyone recommend any decent web hosting? I just want a basic package: name registration, no more than 30Meg of space but I do need CGI and Perl. It's a personal site so the cheaper the better!! Thanks,

samuelhogg - try www.ebookmall.com for the original or amazon for the new book.

pkfryer is right. Its a start to a system you develop yourself. I have trade the basis of the CT formula profitably, but have really messed about with it through hours of Metastock testing.

pkfryer - You could experiment with Metastock's Explorer. You can specify detailed filter criteria with Metastock's proprietary language and then list particular attributes of the selected stocks. I have scanned through the S$&P500 in the past and it handles complex filters pretty quickly. As...

What products can you trade? On the website it says their products are options, futures and single stock futures. However, there are also warnings about CFD's. If it is the IB back-end can you also trade shares?

Elefteros - I agree with what you are saying about the financial advantages of CMC, but the limitations of MarketMaker are too much of a problem. Some days I can't check my emails for order alerts or find the time to phone to cancel orders, which is a real problem. However, the other problem...

JonnyT - will check out RDP, cheers :-) As for proxies, I just use WinSock at the moment to pass the VNC packets out of my company firewall. The D4F software can use proxies but I'm a bit scared of installing it at work. Mind you, it uses port 80 and it must be encrypted so it would look to...

Jonny T - you are right. I am trading CFD's with D4F but there's no getting around the fact that i need to go direct access. (Even just having the API would solve these sort of problems, never mind the order types provided by the broker.) Elefteros - in the situation you describe you would...

Hi, Has anyone figured out a way of linking three orders in D4F's MarketMaker? Past posts have suggested setting the email order alerts and then placing more orders, but with a full time job I would like to set my entries, profit limits and stop losses at the same time. This is easy with...

Tun, I originally faced this same dilemma with spread-betting. My system involves risking about 0.5% of my capital per trade and at £1 per point this would mean the stops were too tight for my plan. As a result, I set up a CFD account. Because you can trade with as little as 1 CFD you can set...

You could try: http://www.stormchasertech.com/ I don't know anything about it beyond the URL, but remember bookmarking it some time ago. Also, Metastock Professional could be an option. I've never used it as I use the EOD version which has a decent scanner, but the Professional version uses...

Techtrader, If when you've installed it you need any help just shout. I've been using it for a while now and might be some use.

They used ATR as the market volatility factor. I suggested it only as a guide to position sizing, not for the rest of the system. For example, to set a 2% loss at twice the ATR you could use something like this: No. of shares = (Account size * 0.02)/(2 * ATR)

Have a look at the turtle rules at: http://www.originalturtles.org/ That system uses ATR to specify position size - might be helpful.
