Yeah, they were just exploiting inefficiency, its the problem of IB and the designers of the algo. The guys should not only not be sued but they should keep their profits.

Very nice Adal, looks great. I havent even got the library yet, seems like its ot going to be free. Might have to roll my own also, using QT4 Painting. Although I would like to draw some other kinds of charts like bar charts etc. Ah well its fun and ...

Found a really powerful charting library for C++/QT4 url Looks awesome.

Its simply down to speed, I can write nearly 1 million bars (2003-2010 1min ohlc bars for a stock) in 10 seconds, that includes an index for each day, that is without really optimizing. I haven't tested reading yet but Im sure it will quicker. Check ...

I think this was posted by craig months ago, its an excellent blog though, I have nicked a lot of ideas from it including using hdf5.

Ive been implementing my data storage in hdf5, in fact I will probably use it to store all my data, not just back test data. From my inital impression it is extremely fast. I use the C nativc api (from C++ code), but the api is well designed and as ...

Ok I was just trying to help Craig out, one last point, I am looking at just using the GNU tool chain vim/gcc/make seems to be configurable as hell.

This thread needs all the posts it can get, and implentation of a system and the tools to do that seem on topic to me.

Systematic trading

I agree it's not as configuable as it could be, one thing I would like to do is change how it generates header files when you first create them, but no go. Regarding 2, if you have change it for the super project doesnt it change it for all your sub ...

1. Mines are in /home/mark/.config/Nokia/qtcreator 2. I think sessions are for working with different projects, I only have a default one which I have added as an argument to my qtcreator icon, so its start off from where I left off. (As I only use ...

No problem, once I had my projects setup and had git installed (this is on Linux), I cd'ed into my project folder and did git init git add . git commit this will add all your projects to git and QT Creator has git integration. Mark

You can create an empty folder to house your projects like a solution in vs, and the create projects inside it, so eg after creating the dir mysys, start qt creator and create a qt gui project(mysys_gui) placing it inside the mysys folder, then ...

I am working on the library at the moment, i.e. all the classes for strategies. so far I only have a tabbed window in QT. Once the UI is further developed I will post a screenshot.

Im finding C++/Linux/Boost/QT creator/Git is an excellent toolset for implementing my system, everything is so fast.

My understanding, which may be wrong, is that a random number is generated from some seed value. If the seed is some deterministic source like the current time then it wont be random. Maybe polling twitter tweets would be random enough for a seed?

lol thanks. The fish is the trader who incorrectly forms a causal relationship between say a pattern and the result. i.e. a pin bar at a trendline will means a high probability of a reversal. If the fish could perform analysis using say the time and ...

No more BS - What have you learned?

My fish analogy — My gold fish performs a strange swim dance whenever is is hungry, it does this because it thinks it will be fed because of this action, however it is I who decide when my fish is fed.

Wow this post should be framed as an example of the intelligence level of the average Forex Factory poster.

The only way you can make money using TA is by being mentor, or selling a system. Traders trying to make money off patterns or anything related to price in the past are akin to Skinners pigeons.
