 Ara, I 
am not sure which doc you refer to. The one on the AB website with 3D excel 
charts? That is really very old, at the time i was looking into EOD 
trading, and yes i optimized each stock. The doc did not 
describe a system i actually used, it was just an exercise 
prompted by a discussion on the list. AmiBroker has evolved immensely since 
and such a project could be done much better today. However I haven't tested any 
EOD systems for some years now and I no longer subscribe to QP EOD 
data. 
  
Nowadays I work on Automated Trading Systems that may trade 30-50 
times a day. The only time I manually enter trades on the TWS is to cleanup 
a mess made by a malfunctioning AT system.  
  
imho, 
EOD Predictive trading can give you a small statistical edge 
but High-Speed Reactive Real-Time trading has greater profit potential 
(especially with the reduced IB commissions!). Of course there are many ways to 
trade and I am not discrediting/disputing other ways, this is just my 
current personal preference. As you know: I am more of a 
developer than a trader, I only trade to test ideas or systems 
that have exceptional promise.

      Hi Herman, 
    
  A while back you wrote a very interesting and 
  educational manual on system development. I gather from it that you optimize 
  for each stock ... 
    
  I know you are not a day trader ... don't know 
  how long / short time frame you trade in with the auto trade on 
  IB... 
    
  Does the document above also apply to 
  real time trading?  If so how often would you optimize? 
    
    
    
  Thanks 
    
  Ara
