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.

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

      HFMarkets (hfm.com): Market analysis services.

      By HFblogNews · Posted

      Date: 24th April 2024. Market News – Stock markets strengthen as tech rally widens. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The bulls are back in town for now. Wall Street climbed, led by tech and especially the Magnificent 7 — all cohorts rallied, even Tesla which broke a 7-session losing streak even as its earnings news was awaited. US: The weaker than expected PMI data from S&P Global was the excuse needed to underpin a short covering rally in Treasuries after the big selloff in April. Record US Auction boosted demand! A well bid 2-year sale also added to the gains in Treasuries, while signs of future price pressures saw the long end underperform. Demand petered out into the finish, however, especially with the surge on Wall Street, and yields edged off their lows. Australia: The hot inflation print pointed to sticky local price pressures and reinforced the case for the RBA to hold rates at a 12-year high. The CPI rose to 3.6% y/y VS 3.5% estimate, while core CPI rose 4%, also higher than forecast and well above the RBA’s 2-3% target. Japan: Strong warning for intervention by officials. The BoJ is widely expected on Friday to leave policy settings & bond purchase amounts unchanged. NEW YORK (AP) — The Biden administration has finalized a new rule set to make millions more salaried workers eligible for overtime pay in the US. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex slumped, falling to 105.39 largely on profit taking and as haven demand faded. USDJPY flirts with 155 after FM Suzuki issued the strongest warning to date on the chance of intervention, saying last week’s meeting with US and South Korean counterparts had laid the groundwork for Tokyo to act against excessive Yen moves. AUDUSD up for a 3rd day in a row, to 0.6528 amid a broadly weaker USD but also a strong Aussie post a hot inflation print. USOIL steady at $83 ahead of sanctions against Iran and shrinking US Inventories. Gold closed slightly lower at $2332, but off yesterday’s $2289 nadir. Market Trends:   The NASDAQ increased 1.59%, with the S&P500 up 1.20%, while the Dow rallied 0.69%. Dissipating geopolitical risks also supported. EU stock futures are posting gains, after a largely stronger close across Asia. Nikkei and Hang Seng gained more than 2% amid a strengthening tech rally. Australian shares underperformed. Tesla Inc. (+13.33% after hours) spiked after its statement for the launch of more affordable vehicles despite a sales miss. The stock halted a 7-day plunge, climbing alongside other members of the group. Microsoft Corp., Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc. are also due to report earnings this week. Profits for the “Magnificent Seven” group — which also includes Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Nvidia Corp. — are forecast to rise about 40% in the Q1 a year ago, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data. The group of tech megacaps is crucial to the S&P 500 since the companies carry the heaviest weightings in the benchmark. Visa revenue advanced by 17% as Consumer Card spending increased.
