I don't think I'm going to be much of a help on this... I don't use MT4 and don't have anything that can read that .tick extension... Also it sounds as if the data only goes back as far as 2004, which really wouldn't help me much. Most of my ...

Gain capital data quality

vee I've never seen it so I don't know... we did discover some of the issue with the gain data; there are some inconsistancies in the naming conventions and some files were being dropped as a result. There are still alot of small gaps in the data ...

Gain capital data quality

^X2 on that right there...

big SL

Well Refco certainly fit the above criteria... in the end, we'll never know for sure what a firm is doing and if it's acting responsibly. This is known as industry risk and its a bigger problem for us in FX than it is in on the Equity side where ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

what proof do you have that rob makes money? I'm not saying he doesn't; I'd just like to see verification of it..

making a killing!! in this market

I've never seen any evidence that Rob tades consistantly at all; Rob came on the FX scene about the same time I did and was promoting the 10 pips a day model, every ounce of work I've ever done seems to indicate this isn't possible. I'd be ...

making a killing!! in this market

It's not; he's running a negative expectation that will eventually catch up to him. It's one of those trade lesons we all learn eventually. The key is, not to loose your enthusiasm for the job when these things catch up to you. Just keep grinding ...

making a killing!! in this market

Now that right there I have seen before; I don't know if you were around when they launched FXCMPro and then PropFX but neither have ever really been pushed as far as I can tell... It looks like to me the PropFX site no longer even exits... I think ...

FXCM Discussion

Just two more pips of input here... While its not impossible to forge an account statement, its foolish to do it. As soon as you launch your sales pitch, the true nature of the returns will reveal themselves very quickly, so there will be no real ...

How I Turned 1k To 100k In A Wk!!!

Ven - I'm sure size has something to do with it; it's much harder for a large company to implament new technology than a small one. They also have other things going on that would split IT energies and focus... I'm sure they'll have it worked out ...

FXCM Discussion

Ending the week with some dollar strength... got us to my target, which really wasn't much of a stretch from the original break. Also took us to a secondary support area at 4632 (thats a typo in the chart - my bad)

FXAnalytics

My only question would be, how much of the current weakness already accounts for those adjustments. When the fed lowers or raises rates it's never in a vaccum, they tend to raise, raise, raise... or lower, lower lower with long pauses inbetween ...

Bernanke Speech 11/29/07

Just a quick update this morning... I'm looking for a move to 1.4686/32 on the recent move lower (see attached chart). Back to cleaning data...

FXAnalytics

Pip... Err Charlinks; Thats an interesting idea... I haven't as of yet tried to roll fundamental data into a dataset like that; seems like the collection of it would be a bear. It might be worth trying though.

The "Better" neural network

I'm currently speachless... mom always said if you can't say something nice don't say anything; guess I'll just bite my tounge...

The "Better" neural network

I don't think anyone who has used the technology for any length of time is trying to get a good fit with just price data; it only takes a couple of runs of that to realize that approach will get you nowhere... The problem with using price based ...

The "Better" neural network

You've just hit the crux of the problem... The algorithms have to be constantly updated to adjust for shifts in market dynamics, but the processing time to get a good fit is the bottle neck. You're on the right track with the parallel processing, ...

Neural Network anyone?

I deconstructed the trade statement for the "Better" NN model to give you an idea where its signaling in relationship with the underlying price action. Like most AI programs it tends to display a bias towards mean regression; you'll see a lot of the ...

The "Better" neural network

Here are three books to get you going... Computational Intelligence; An Introduction (this thing is long and full of history but not terrible useful from a design standpoint) Artificial Intelligence; A Modern Approach (this was okay, lays the ground ...
