The Father of Algos?

It's the Comice pear season now. I absolutely love Comice pears. I remember that I first ate one when I lived in the U.S in the mid 1980's. I had been helping Bob Pardo with his autotrading program. I was doing some testing, if I remember rightly. Bob was the first person to sell a commercial autotrading program where the user could optimise. I really can't remember the details and whether I was of much use at the time, but Bob was kind enough to send me a fruit basket and it was full of Comice pears. I've loved them ever since. They are originally French, I think, and I'm now buying them in France, which makes them taste especially good.

Autotrading has come a long way since those early Bob Pardo days. Bob has since gone on to write a book about autotrading: here.

When looking up that reference, I see Bob has written another - a rewrite of the first. Look here. I haven't yet read this second one (but I will), but knowing the first one and reading the contents list for the second one, I can say that it would benefit anyone wanting to create an algo.

Today's trading in the ES RTH was great. All the people who took my course by DVD or (w)(s)eminar will recognise the pictures. It all started with the Gap trade and then just got better. The reversal at the EMA resistance trade hit the Fib target like an olympic champion archer hitting the bulls eye. There was a reload option on the way as well, Great stuff!!
