I think QuantShare may be the best program out there.Extensive data management,GREAT flexible charting and basic to advanced coding options. It also has some great tools which doesnt require a Phd to implement Definetly worth a look T

Its overpriced garbage..... Have you looked at their upgrade fees since they bought Tom Joeseph out? I had requested over and over a simple walk foward simulator to gauge AG's proprietary tools.Guss what,they refuse to do so as they know none of their toos will hold up to a rigorous backtest..

Sorry to say this,but you sound like you just started trading yesterday if not later....

StrataSearch is a great program,and I have used just about everyone out there.The poster is correct that it can take a very long time to scan if you use hundred or thousands of rules. With that aside,I have been "enlightened" and many of the concepts and I have read or thought were correct were...

Hi Blades, I am a huge fan of Strata Search,and I have used just about every program out there.IMHO,it is the most unique,and no other program in that price point offers what SS does.If nothing else,it will enlighten you and save you hundreds of hours in determining what really works in the...

my pleasure..they are coming out with version 2.5 sometime this week..its going to be a major upgrade and will significantly enhance the program....IMHO,its the best backtester on the market for under $500

why dont you look at Traders Studio software...I believe it reads Tradestation Code ..

you shoul definetly check out neoticker as well for u.s. stocks

dont sell yourself short!!! from tiny little brains grow greta big brains!!. If you like amibroker,which is pretty nice,get it with the add on program called Amitools.It will do what you want,and its really pretty simple.No programming necessary..

Check out traders studio....the newest version has just been released and it is an excellent system backtester as well as a suprisingly good charting package..if i am not mistaken,the developer is the editor of futures magazine

I just ordered Traders Studio as it is very well priced relative to mechanica and traders Blox and has virtually all the power and capabilities of them..It is also a great charting package as well... I would highly reccomend you look into tradersstudio

I have been demoing Amibroker and Neoticker and am a bit concerned with the complexity of the programming language in Amibroker...It looks like a fantastic tool,but it didnt appear to have a very thorough manual... I would appreciate any insight to the product.

I was one of the "big boys" and traded equity derivatives at Salomon....I can tell you in all honesty,we sliced and diced vol and in the end,there is no measure that stands out....Waht I do think you should look at is intra-day or high low vol vs close vol and decide upon your hedging frequency.

boxes are predominantly financing trades,though some people tend to buy boxes on dividend paying stocks/american style exercise before the ex date.Its no more than a dividend play which one could capture should they get fortunate... From time to time I have purchased boxes as an alternative way...
