I happen to know SuperFrag.  Here’s a little bit of insight.  SuperFrag is actually a Sentaari Monk hooked up via satellite Internet.  He frequently breaks up the monotony of his peaceful, secluded lifestyle by trading and posting to this Yahoo Group. J

 

Good stuff SuperFrag. I'm still laughing at this one:  " They don't ask each other dumb-butt questions like what's the one BEST book I should read---".  . . . I’m almost certain I have asked that question before !!

 

Here’s one for everyone. . .  The answer to the following question can shed a lot of light on yourself and help steer you towards your own weaknesses and strengths.

 

Q:  If the stock market genie popped out of a lamp and granted you one "stock market" wish, what would you wish for?

What do you think of the following performance criterion allegedly

advocated by Van Tharp?

 

After optimizing your system parameters, don't choose the maximum Net

Profit (presumably greater than Buy&Hold, or what's the point?), but

choose instead the parameter values that give a Net Profit greater

than Buy&Hold AND maximizes Net Profit divided by the absolute value

of the average losing trade:

 

In other words, the thing to maximize is:

 

'quality' := (Net Profit)/abs(average loss).

 

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Re: NDX 100 Bullish Percent Index

 

 

Unless version 9 suddenly added the capability in the expanded PnF

toolbox I don't thinkt here is any way to construct this in MS. As far

as I know this is strictly derived from PnF charts and as you know

support for PnF indicators in MS was pretty weak.

 

You can nose around stockcharts.com. They do track the NDX as well as

many other indices on that basis. Just type in "$BP" into the search

symbol box when you get there. At the very least it will give you

something to compare your values to if you go some other route.

 

I had looked at a separate application to do this some time back, here

is a link:

 

http://www.archeranalysis.com/beb/index.html

 

Seemed quite good and works with MS and other format files.

Subject: Price Volume Distribution Indicator

 

 

Folks,

 

I am wondering how to approach coding up a Price Volume Distribution

indicator in MS.

 

Not sure if everyone is familiar with these, the gist being over the

start and end dates/times of the chart the volume at a given price

range (generally a single dollar) is plotted (not on time axis)

against price.

 

In other words if a stock has ranged in price from 20-25 dollars over

a year it would show the amount of volume that was traded at 20, 21,

22, 23, 24, and 25 dollars.

 

Given that MS has neither direct loop control and no way to (as far as

I can tell) display an indicator independent of time scale I'm kind of

stuck how to procede. Or even if it is worth trying to do it in the

formula language.

What superfragalist said about Roys newsletter is absolutely right. it is

brilliant.

 

I wait for it EVERY month. As soon as I finish it I am hanging out for the next

months edition.

 

If it was three times the price I would not hesitate subscribing to it for a

second. But please don't tell Roy I said that : )

 

 

Regards

Steve

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forget it, it's a waste of money. It's elementary gliz with no

substance. Roy's newsletter is the best educational tool there is for

MS users, and it's a lot cheaper.

 

 

www.metastocktips.co.nz

 

I don't know why so many people on here think some of us would tout

Roy's newsletter if it wasn't simply the best tool out there.

 

If you're trying to learn to us MS, Roy's newsletter is going to cut

your learning curve by two thirds, it's going to give you a lot of

inside information about how different parts of MS work, and it has

some of great trading tools also. It's really a can't miss.

 

There are plenty of people on this board who subscribe. They aren't

vocal about how much the newsletter is worth to them. They should be

because there are too many people who are ignoring what we are

saying. I guess there are a lot of people you can't help no matter

how hard you try.

 

It's taken Roy thousands of hours of hard work to learn what he knows

about MS. Pay him a few dollars a year, or spend the thousands of

hours yourself. It's a no brainer!

 

Roy's on vacation for a few days. He deserves the rest.

Well my initial pass of the trading

books/people/seminars/advice/websites/newsletters/my losses all

indicate your point: that one's system may be simply flipping a coin

to pick stocks but it will work with good money management.

Conversely, the world's best system is likly to fail without good

money management (and a bad system will always fail even with mm).

 

I'm practicing Elder's method (complicated a bit thru the use of

options for leverage), but there's got to be more... So, where's the

thread on money management?

  Speaking of position sizing, here's a little position size code

  indicator you can plot before you buy a stock. It will tell you how

  many shares you should buy based on your risk level and the ATR of

  the stock. If you want to know more about how this works, read about

  position sizing using volatility. You can make other indicators from

  it that tell you how much you're going to invest in that stock, etc.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to contact Yahoo about it's EOD quotes.

I've been using it's EOD quotes for a couple of years

now to download quotes into Metastock for the Thai

market.

 

However the service has been getting worse and worse.

First they used to forget to supply the EODs for a day

or so, now it's a whole week. And recently the quotes

are totally wrong - not by a point or two, but 10% out

(9.4 not 10.4). And now they've also limited the

download to the last 6 months.

 

Why does Yahoo provide a financial service (free or

not) if they can't even be bothered to keep it

accurate and up to date? Very shoddy!

 

Have you ever tried to contact Yahoo? Forget it! They

just send you in circles. Have they no accountability?

This is the Internet. This is the future. It's

laughable.

Subject: Money Management

 

 

 

As superfragalist said, not enough attention here is paid to money

mangement (aka risk management, position sizing, etc.)

 

To make a contribution in that area, I'd like to present the so-called

Kelly Criterion, which comes to us from the world of professional

gambling:

 

%Kelly = W - (1 - W)/pf,

 

where

%Kelly is the percent of your account to dedicate to a trade (NOT to

exceed 20-25% ever, for reasons not explained but possibly having to

do with unaddressed variance issues),

W is the fraction winners = (total winning trades in the backtest)/

(total trades in the backtest (30 minimum?)),

pf is the profit factor = (average win)/(average loss).

 

So even if W <= 50%, %Kelly can still be positive if the pf is

sufficiently large.

 

Good trading,

kut2k2

Read the reference to the money management article I posted. Apply

the money management code to any chart as an indicator. Read the

number of shares off of it when you are ready to make an entry and it

calculates the number of shares you should purchase based on your

risk profile and the ATR of the stock.

 

Once you have the number of shares to buy, determine how much

downside risk you're willing to take on the trade. Divide the shares

into the total amount you're willing to lose and that's your stop

price.

Deepfoobar,

Bring your data in excel, and then it is easy.

  Folks,

 

  I am wondering how to approach coding up a Price Volume Distribution

  indicator in MS.

 

  Not sure if everyone is familiar with these, the gist being over the

  start and end dates/times of the chart the volume at a given price

  range (generally a single dollar) is plotted (not on time axis)

  against price.

 

  In other words if a stock has ranged in price from 20-25 dollars over

  a year it would show the amount of volume that was traded at 20, 21,

  22, 23, 24, and 25 dollars.

 

  Given that MS has neither direct loop control and no way to (as far as

  I can tell) display an indicator independent of time scale I'm kind of

  stuck how to procede. Or even if it is worth trying to do it in the

  formula language.

Yes, that part is easy. But I want this in MS for a reason. Any

thoughts on how to do it? Would it have to be done as some form of

plug-in? Or can the formula language hand;e it?
