Hi Blowfish, which tools do you have in mind? Can yo elabortate on the usefulness of your statistical tools. I am really interested what you mean. Thx cbaer

Where can one find the Home Study Course of Van Tharp?

Hello Travelfrog, that is correkt TickByTick processing behaviour. You should limit your entries to the open of the next bar. Means you are only allowed to enter on the open of the bar. If you have an automated strategy try finding something like 'CalculateOnClose' or FirstTickOfBar to incorporate in the strategy. Regrads, cbaer

Hello joo_p23, Take the time frame you trade divide it at least by 4 (max by 16) then use some oscillator on it (Stochastics, RSI, MACD Histogramm etc. contrary to popular believe parameters are not very important) and limit your long entries to times when the oscillator is below 50% (or zero with MACD). Reverse for shorts. Let me know if this is a doable strategy for you, means can you stick to that rule and with what result? Regrads, cbaer

Hi zealousteedo, Sounds good your basic methodology. I found that I have to experience the trades to see if i can actually follow the system. So I would take some time use new live data in demo mode do quite a lot of trades and record how I feel taking them. Then maybe start with meaningless money to see if your psychology changes and go from there. Hope that helps, cbaer

Hi 5$DAW, the professional approach would be to install the 64Bit Version on a different computer and try everything. If you use custom indicators you will probably have to port them. I am using NT for example an the transition was a few month with two systems parallel. Regards cbaer
