So, if your 30m, 1hr, 4 hr, and daily are all red but the underlying weekly trend is clearly bullish, then you do not make the trade?

Thanks Pete. One more Q. If you had to guess, would you say that the counter-trend trades that you execute with this system are just as profitable as the trades that are in line with the long term trend?

I read Wiki before, but it is really sparse on who was actually doing this early on. This is understandable though as the private institutions that started all this were just that -- very private.

Thanks Tdion and Technical. Flextrade also looks to be an early mover, although not nearly as early as ATD. I would imagine that the adoption of FIX in 93 caused autotrading to rapidly expand.

Ok, sometime in 2000 Tradestation merged with a broker who was tied in with the ECN's. That enabled auto execution.

Thanks again Technical. It looks like Tradestation only offered alerts in the 2000i suite. Still trying to figure out when they offered auto execution. Looking at Metastock as well. Day Trader Pro might have too.

Thanks Technical. It looks like microlabs started automated trading support for laymen back in 99. I would have thought earlier. I am sure the private and hedge industry was eariler, but everything is so secret, naturally...

Hi Pete, Have you ever tried this on a timeframe longer than the daily?

"Trade the slope" journal

Technical, I have looked at numeorus write-ups on LTCM, but I cannot discerne whether or not they executed trades manually based on mathematical modesl (black scholes, etc) or if they just let the computer run the whole show.... What I want to know ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Looks like Euro is going down. Lets see if cable follows this time.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

It does not look like cable will buck this downtrend. I will wait for the close and the next open (daily) to decide, but methinks a she is going bloody red on Monday.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Yeah, I think I will close it before the weekend and consider reentering later. This one was easy to see, I wish they were all like that! Making a kiling on USDCHF too! Real trend there for those on the longer terms.
