  optimize my RT stops over historical data if I don't have access to the EOD 
  signals, stock picks, scores, shares, and trade-prices in my formula? All 
  these are based on EOD data and can not be calculated accurately in 
  RT.

    <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
    size=2>[d]Or are you trying to take an EOD system and trying to make your 
    system "more granular" and pick the same patterns in intraday data?  
    
    <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
    size=2> 
    I 
    am mainly trying to improve Entries and Exits, i am not looking for 
    patterns. The systems work fine in EOD but I observed on the 
    RT charts that i often miss locking in some really nice profits 
    that fade before I exit. So i want to code in Trailing stops that 
    activate at a certain profit and than exit when the price drops back a 
    bit. For example, if my profits reaches 2% during the first two hours 
    of the trade, then i want to activate a Stop and exit when my profits 
    drop back to 1.5%. ApplyStops cannot be used in very short-term (1-3 days) 
    trading because on the day of exit it is unknown which came first, the High 
    or the Low, or with profit stops, how many dips there were during the day 
    that would have terminated the trade. RT data is needed to develop proper 
    stops. limits, etc. with the short trades i use. 
    <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
    size=2> 
    If 
    i trade 1-3 times a week and i might be able to reduce 
    my exposure by 50% if I managed to get out based on profits instead of 
    timing. I would prefer overall less profits if it came with less exposure. 
    Also, the strength of signals fades pretty fast... have you ever tested your 
    n-Bar profits? i.e. profits made on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day? You 
    can vary the entry delay and use n-Bar stops to limit the trade duration, 
    that way you can "isolated" single days (profits) of your trade. For me, 
    typical profit distributions might be 65% 25% 10% for a system with an 
    average of 3-bar trades. So the first day obviously has the greatest profit 
    potential at the least exposure. IMHO, short term signals have a limited 
    life-time: after a certain number of days you are just hoping to get lucky 
    :-) knowing your n-Bar profits may help you decide whether it is 
    worth it (risk) to stay in a trade or not.

        Real-Time Trading System Examples
        
        Would 
        anybody have some example code for Real Time trading systems? 
        I have considerable trouble converting EOD systems to RT 
        data - tried too many ways to mention but always hit a snag at some 
        advanced point. My problem areas are:
        <SPAN 
        class=937152314-09042004> 
        <SPAN 
        class=937152314-09042004>1) Converting or duplicating EOD 
        signals to RT, I need this because EOD data prices are 
        more accurate than those I get from RT 
        sources.
        2) Running 
        the basic EOD system in RT, i.e. reproduce EOD signals in RT. 
        I want this as a verification stage before trying to enhance the 
        system with RT data
        3) Custom 
        coding Profit targets, Limit Prices and Stops.
        4) 
        Optimizing entry points by using Pre/after hours trading and/or using 
        delayed/early entries and exits.
        5) Showing 
        EOD Arrows (derived from EOD data, not from RT data) on my minute 
        charts. 
        <SPAN 
        class=937152314-09042004> 
        If anybody 
        has example code or reference URLs to share that would be much 
        appreciated. 
        <SPAN 
        class=937152314-09042004> 
        Also, i am 
        beginning to wonder how many subscribers, if any, have 
        actually solved the above problems. If you have done 
        so perhaps you can share this simple fact (no code 
        needed), knowing that it has been done successfully is a great 
        motivator :-)
        <SPAN 
        class=937152314-09042004> 
        TIA and best 
        regards,
