Economic calendar

<t>Hi! Has anyone used Bloomberg's Economic Calendar (ECO <GO>) in an automated way, i.e. getting releases, parsing them, extracting numbers and trading based on the released numbers? I have talked to Bloomberg about getting live releases in a cell in Excel or through API but they told me all they h...

RenTech: using artificial intelligence to morph one trading strategy into another?

<t>I think it can also be related to dynamic weighting. Run both momentum and mean-reverting strategies in a paper trading mode and invest real money in the one that is making money at the moment. This is also a kind of trade filtering that Stew is talking about.I am testing a number of FX strategie...

<t>I have Bloomberg and Reuters and my company is paying for both of them. I can see live tick prices on my screen, I just cannot save them. All I want is to record the data that I already have.

Collecting tick data from Reuters or Bloomberg

<t>Hey Rory, it looks it is not free and I need to be registered with Reuters Developer Connect Program. It is not an option for me since I want to do something for myself rather than for the company that I work for.Is there any other solution? Maybe Bloomberg provides some nice simple solution? Any...

<t>Hi guys! Having access to Bloomberg and Reuters, I would like to collect live tick data for some tickers and write it to the plain text file. Any idea how to do that? I was thinking of using Bloomberg or Reuters formulas in an Excel spreadsheet and implement a handler for an event "onChange" that...

Estimating quality of strategy entries

<t>Guys, thank you for your posts! I decided my approach to strategy optimization to be step-wise. First I come up with some indicators that generate entry signals.

Estimating quality of strategy entries

<t>Guys, this is probably a simple question for you. I need to come up with a function that would estimate the quality of strategy based on the total number T of its signals and the number of its correct signals, C<=T.I think a straightforward approach f(C,T) = C/T is not the best approach since the...
