i took up howard bandy’s offer of a free book so im looking forward to seeing what insights he has about it

Me too. I’m amazed he was happy to ship it free too.

Tell me Julian what is the book like?

I read his Mean Reversion book and found it a bit esoteric. I didn’t find it practical enough. I concluded that at the end of the day that I was looking too deeply into a shallow pool. I think I’ll go back and read Holy Grails again.

Thanks Nick

Nice equity curve Nick. Is possible to have STT show equity curves like this with the key stats next to it. I prefer line graphs rather than shaded area graphs which are harder to read. I know I could produce a graph similar to this but that would mean starting another spreadsheet which defeats the purpose of operating the STT software. The key stats like drawdown and ROI are also nice to have.

Point taken. Apologies to my American friends.

Seems like Trump can molest women and get away with it because he’s a star. Let’s see how intelligent and knowlegeable the Americans are.

There’s quite a few Americans on this forum….some might even be supporters of Mr. Trump….might be an idea to keep our thoughts to trading :unsure:

Lets not talk about Brexit then.

I now understand how the market can be so irrational and from that perspective it’s comforting to know that I’m on the other side.
So if you have a reasonable plan and can keep your head then you can make money.

I didn’t realise how much of an idiot Trump is until I started watching the US campaign and also how apothetic the public is to all his wrong doings. Not sure why Hillary Clinton is getting blamed for her husbands indiscretions and not leaving him. Why should that ever matter in this day and age? Maybe because she could see the bigger picture?
Someone should railroad Trump to Mexico.

Thanks Said I do have other exits. I have a timed exit and an exit at MA. Just investigating other scenarios. Trying to extract more out of the system.

[LeeDanello]

I was just thinking of one scenario for taking a profit.

I suppose if I had the following

Code:

Profitable_closes = C>Ref(C,-1) and Ref(C,-1)> Ref(C,-2);

I could use

Code:

if( LBIT[j] > 1 and Profitable_closes[j-1] and C[j-1] > LPriceAtBuy )

{
Sell[j] = True;
SellPrice[j] = LExPrice[j];
LPriceAtBuy = 0;
}

Said Bitar wrote:

this one is also wrong since profitable_closes will return true (1) or false (0) all the time and you are comparing it to the price at buy.

here is how it should be

Code:

Profitable_closes = C>Ref(C,-1);

if( LBIT[j] > 1 and Profitable_closes[j-1] )

{
Sell[j] = True;
SellPrice[j] = LExPrice[j];
LPriceAtBuy = 0;
}

Thanks Said, good explanation but the last peice of code doesn’t compare it to the entry price. It only says sell if the close is higher than the previous close. Not necessarily profitable.

Well picked up. Must be some setting in TWS that I can change

[LeeDanello]

I picked up an error but it was an export error from TWS which didn’t split EVN properly. I also used export displayed reports.

Maurice,
My error, section 2, module 17 in “settings” in the course

Thanks Len, I though you were referring to ranking using StaticVarGenerateRanks
https://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_ranking.html

[LeeDanello]

What about just setting it up like this

Code:

Margin = Param(“Margin”,100,1,100,1);
SetOption(“AccountMargin”,Margin);
