I have traded equities for about 10 years but for the last three years I have completely automated my slightly evolving strategies with VBA in excel spreadsheets.

 

I am only testing strategies for trading futures and forex, but so far I have not been able to achieve the same level of consistency that I have with stocks.

 

In fact, I tried to upload my version of Walterw's rainbow vmar in excel in my very first post a couple of days ago but it never showed up in the forum. I figure that in light of the recent spam attack, maybe I was a red flag uploading files right away. Maybe now that I have introduced myself, I will be able to post files.

 

I am glad I found this forum. It looks like the moderators do a great job keeping out the garbage :crap: posts. :)

Welcome to the site and great to hear your contributions for rest of us lowly non-programmers! Hope your testing find some success in futures. It's a bit difficult since they are leading indexes so there is no reference to where they are headed, unlike stocks.

Hi Guys,

 

I am with Infinity. You've heard of us?

 

I am not here as a salesman but as an information seeker. This site has a lot of good stuff.

Best regards,

 

Tom

 

Tom,

I hope you are genuine in your intentions here. As was found recently, some of us won't tolerate spam - subtle or not. So, welcome aboard, but consider contacting James about a sponsorship if you want to contribute via Infinity's perspective.

That's cool Tom. We are a good group of guys (not sure how many gals are here) and we will respect you if you respect us. Simple enough, right? Well, apparently not as a vendor that was recently here could not grasp this concept.

 

:crap:

 

 

 

He's no longer welcome here however.

 

:applaud:

Wait, did someone in NY say "howdy". :crap: :o

I'm glad I stumbled on this site on a random Google search. Thus far this is my favorite site I've found and plan on calling it my trading home site.

 

Quick background on me...I started in October 06' with swing trading stocks. I began as most do, with pinks/pennies and lost 50% of my equity within 2 months. I fought to learn quickly and came into this year down "only" 40%.

At one point I made it up 20+% around June but started hunting for the holy grail again, though I knew price action backed by supply & demand was all that matters. I decided to try something new (futures). I've learned alot in the last 2 months. Lot's to go, but I'm pretty consistent on paper and will go live in 2-4 weeks barring any emotional setbacks. ;)

 

I look forward to interacting with "yall" and though I'm a moderator here it seems like a pretty professional place where adults interact on a mature level so I should have a very easy job. :cool:

 

My name's Mike BTW or most on the web call me MC.

 

Good trading
