Here are all of the Expert Design Studio (EDS) files and descriptions that I wrote for the Traders Tips section of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine over the years. Unfortunately we are not able to post the original TASC article as they are copyrighted. However, you can purchase individual articles online on the Traders.com store. You can also purchase a very handy DVD with every Stocks and Commodities article ever published.
For the last several years, I have coded the AIQ section of the Traders Tips in the Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. For many of these articles, I have gone beyond just hashing out the code but have used the ideas to generate and test trading systems in a stock trading environment. Unfortunately the magazine has of late, decided to truncate much of what is submitted by the software companies. To remedy this and to provide a better reference to these studies, please see
Most months I usually include the EDS code file for the trading system or indicator, and then, if applicable, I try to do a backtest on a portfolio of stocks (usually one of my standard lists like the current Nasdaq 100 stocks or S&P 500 stocks). Where appropriate, I will show a backtest of the long trades and then a separate backtest of the short trades, each with a portfolio level equity curve. As you can see from many of the backtests, the indicators that sound good in theory, don't always work out when applied in a way one would have to trade them in the real world on a portfolio of stocks. Many times the author writes about an indicator or idea, and then I take it another step further and make up my own exit rules. Other times, if the author does provide a backtest, our backtests may show different performance results based on trading software, commission and slippage, or other backtesting factors.
UPDATE: Starting September 2008, we will be doing the Traders Tips for Traders Studio. For more on Traders Studio, please see their website here: http://www.tradersstudio.com/ .
We try to post these articles as we receive them but if you don't see the current article listed, please don't hesitate to let us know, and we'll post it ASAP. Thanks, and enjoy!:
