Recently we have just started to look at Amibroker software. It looks pretty interesting for doing large portfolio tests on many symbols quickly. In particular, it appears to have the ranking/sorting capabilities that AIQ has. It is really affordable software and I think it is because they do no advertising. So far I like the free trial I am evaluating. You might check it out for yourself:http://

I've recently been reading Ernie Chan's blog over at http://epchan.blogspot.com. He's one of those quant Ph.D types who consults for hedge funds. I've been interested in the spread trading ideas that he has been testing and blogging about. I suggest you check it out.-Paul

Recently I've been dabbling with and learning the ins and outs of the Forex market. Finding a good broker / market maker in Forex seems to be one of the most difficult things. However, I've found one market maker that many people use who is reputable, cheap, and technologically more advanced than its competitors: Oanda. Its really worth checking out as they have a free unlimited "game" or

Recently I've been working on learning Visual Basic .NET and applying it to writing some simple and some not-so-simple trading systems.It took me a while to figure it out since I'm a little new to using For..Next and Do..Until/While loops in code but here's the way to find the current maximum equity if you have an array with equity values stored in each array cell:For i as Integer = 0 to

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has everything you ever wanted to know about their e-mini futures equity index products, such as the S&amp;P 500, Russell 2000, and the Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures.

Forex can be confusing at first. How much leverage is too much leverage? What am I really buying and selling?Seeing as there are so many Forex-related scams on the Internet, it was nice to come across this primer on the basics of currency trading written by the National Futures Association. Because they are a regulatory agency, you can assume they aren't trying to dupe you out of your money in

I was doing some research on stock screeners via Google tonight and found out that Reuters has an excellent fundamental screener called the PowerScreener 3.0. I think this is the same data and screener that you get with Portfolio 123 but I'm not sure since I haven't experimented with either one extensively. If you're really into using screeners, I think this is for you.Paul

Recently we've been using systems we've developed with a little known market timing product called ULTRA Market Timing from ULTRA Financial Systems Inc. The product comes chock full of simple timing systems that can be combined into composite definition files so that you only trade when at least X number of systems give signals. Our backtests were encouraging so we decided a couple months ago to

The other day I came across Sy Harding's website. Until recently I had never heard his name. His website claims that Timer's Digest consistently ranks him as one of the best market timers in a number of different markets. I saw his name mentioned in a mini-article on pg. 58 of the 2001 issue of the Stock Trader's Almanac that I found in the back of our trading library closet. I was looking

In my search to find out whether "sell in May and go away" seasonality exists in the U.S. stock market in a statistically significant way, I've been doing a little reading on the Internet.Although I had shown this seasonal effect with an Excel analysis, I was still perplexed as to why this seasonal hasn't disappeared over the years. If everyone knows about seasonality, why doesn't it go away or

We've been using Portfolio 123, a do-it-yourself technical analysis / fundamentals hybrid site for a portion of our portfolio. It allows you to create "technimental" based models to rank and filter a universe of stocks with fundamental ratios and custom buy and sell rules. The method of ranking is similar Joel Greenblatt's "magic formula" method of picking stocks from his book "The Little Book
