    Dump it Here

    I didn't ask for your help. I ran YOUR code and posted the 50 MC runs from it. But I know why you get your results.

    Your code, 50 MC runs. Can't fit more on a page. Average return 40% or $40,000 Highest: $1.8 Mil Lowest: -$10,000

    Dump it Here

    Trendnomics is right. I get similar results. This gets you in the ballpark. Optimize("MC run #", 10, 1, 2000, 1); PositionScore = Random(); PosQty = 50; PosSize = 2000; SetOption("CommissionMode", 1); SetOption("CommissionAmount", 0.1); // 0.1% some brokers, not Commsec...

    Looking for the grand unifying theory...

    I have to agree with tech/a IB is your best if not the only possibility because of the APIs on offer. There is a simple one for Excel that should meet your requirements, and a more adventurous one for Python. But as tech/a said, you will have to write the code.

    Alternative to Westpac

    No, I don't use them and only mentioned them as an alternative to Westpac/Commsec. Not sure what you mean with your other question. They have other platforms, but I think you will have to pay for them or make a number of trades per month. I don't know any details.

    Deciding on a broker

    Selfwealth have the lowest brokerage, so that's what I would use for investing. Their platform is very primitive, though. But you can open a Westpac brokerage account without funding it and still get research and live prices as well as EOD data.

    Is Interactive Brokers still the best broker to use?

    Actually, I have just realized that my answer is wrong. There is no volume displayed when you trade CFDs with TD365, but there are other CFD providers who provide full market depth displays, via IRESS, usually. These are DMA CFD providers who simply buy the shares in their own name to offset any...

    Is Interactive Brokers still the best broker to use?

    There is no volume when you trade CFDs. There is no market depth or Level 2. Only the provider has that info and they're not telling you. That's the disadvantage with CFD providers, that you will always have to cross the spread. The advantage with TradeDirect365 is the low commission and low...

    qldfrog weekly Skate inspired system

    I've noticed that too and meant to ask but as I have no experience coding daily systems, it slipped my mind. When I set Periodicity to weekly and look at the backtest results it shows daily bars, e.g. 21 bars = 3 weeks. I'm still on Version 6.20 but I don't think that is it. There may be a...

    Amibroker Coding - Please help :(

    OK, here is the complete code for testing: Buy = C < Ref(C, -1) - Ref(abs(C - O), -1) * 0.5; Buyprice = C; Sell = 1; SellPrice = C; You run this on a single ticker for now to verify the entry points. The position size doesn't matter at this point but it can't be zero! This is as easy as it...

    Amibroker Coding - Please help :(

    What do you mean, "not working"? It doesn't do what you want? It does what you described in your question.

    Amibroker Coding - Please help :(

    Buy = C < Ref(C, -1) - Ref(abs(C - O), -1) * 0.75; Buyprice = C; // or buy at next day's Open use at your own risk

    My New Monthly System

    True, I didn't even think of that. But that is not a future leak, just wasted resources in the backtest. It would reduce returns. I don't know why you mention historical constituents. I've specifically said that I use ALL ASX tickers. Excellent point. But it doesn't make it impossible to...

    My New Monthly System

    You're probably not a trader either or you would know how it works. So this is what you do: at 4 PM you look at the stocks you're holding and enter a limit sell order at one tick above the open price. You have to do this in a hurry if there are many of them, but there is nothing preventing you...
