Robert Miner--Dynamic Trader
pandion replied to pandion's topic in Swing Trading and Position Trading
where would I find that? Is it written somewhere in Trade Station "Easy Language?" I am not a programmer, so would need a lot of hand holding to get it set up properly in TS. thanks for your response Drew -
Hello all- I'm new here... new to trading, but have worked in finance and the markets my whole career (fundamental analysis, value, long term investing). Has anyone here used Robert Miner's software, or just his approach to trading in general? It seems intuitive to me. His book I thought was well done, but trying to determine if I should shell out $2,000 for his software. It seems like TradeStation's market scanner could probably get me a lot of what Miner's scanning does with his software. Does Miner's software have anything else that is just not doable through TS? The one proprieatary thing only his software offers is his DTosc oscillator. Is that much better than regular stochastics... can anyone compare the two and if there is any practical differences? Any other swing trading approaches I should look into? I dont' want to kill myself for looking for the elusive holy grail... but would like to be aware if there is anything blatant I am missing. thank you Drew

Briefly: I have been a money manager for the past 13 years (my whole professional career) deeply educated and practiced in fundamental analysis with a value discipline (MBA in finance, CFA). After getting the :crap: beat out of me in 2008 (my firm was long only) I decided that maybe charts actually have some merit. I have been reading voraciously about TA for the past year, and am now off on my own. I will likely be using TradeStation (also thinking about IB, but I do not like IB charts, and TS seems to have everything)... any words of wisdom on this please let me know. Also, any reviews on Robert Miner's software would be helpful. His book was actually the first book I read on TA, and it totally jibes with my way of thinking. I am much more geared toward swing/position trading than frequent day trading/scalping (by the way... is it even possible to be a successful scalper paying $4.70/round trip contract for ES?). A lot of what he says makes sense. I've gone through his book probably 5 times. I would rather not pay $2,000 for his software, but it looks like through the TS market scanner (if I go that route) that I would be able to scan for 60 min/daily/weekly data using stochastics to determine time frames going in the same direction (though he uses some proprietary oscillator that combines stoch. and rsi, which I don't believe is available anywhere but his software... hopefully stoch. is good enough). So, any advice on how well his approach to trading works would be great. I would be happy to hear of other longer term trading strategies as well. enough for now... sorry for the long intro. Nice site you have here best Drew
