PCola77's Algorithm Trading Board

[PCola77]

Well, I finally bit the bullet and decided to try trading full time. I've left my job (though I will be working about 1 day a week in a consultant role to help transition some things), and starting Monday, October 20, 2008, I will be trading again.

I just ran my program and over the last two weeks there would have been 3 signals, and all 3 would have hit the 5% target, so it's good to see that the program still seems to be working.

During the time I was away, a friend of mine developed another algorithm that he paper traded for a few months and went live with it last week. It had incredible returns during his paper trading, so as much as I can, I will try to post his picks here as well. While my original algorithm was one I could post pre-market and post a sell point immediately, his program is more based on price action, so it won't be as easy to follow.

Hopefully this board gets back to being at least semi-active again. I had fun running it earlier this year.
