Price plans for Time Machine

Hi,

I would like to suggest the creation of new price plans for the Time Machine. If i understand only offer a monthly subscription is underlying the idea of the TM as a software to test specific strategies what willingly would be something very restrict in time. Therefore one should only need the TM for a very short time period.

But there are also costumers, where i am included, that would like to have the time machine always at disposal to test new strategies or even specific details. As a matter of convenience and price, i guess many would prefer to subscribe the TM for longer periods of time, not needing to be constantly renewing the monthly subscription.

That´s my suggestion i hope it can be useful

Thank you for your suggestion.
To be honest we thought nobody tests strategies for more than month as TM is "extremely quick"

Hi again,


You are right but finding a profitable strategy is not easy and not always a person has the will or the time to do it. So, the entire process can easely take several months. Furthermore many times a person has an "official" strategy but wants to find new ones or test particular details in order to improve the profitability.

So it´s always good to have a tool like the TM at your disposal.

Anyway, if it can help you deciding to make the new offer, i would like to say that for a reasonable price i gladly would make an annual subscription.

Yes, I agree with the above having spent 25 years refining my strategies.

My experience is that research and continuous testing does help to keep you in front, even if it by a nose.

We all get periods thinking we have cracked it and I one of my best recent episodes was managing to turn £80 into £900 over three weeks.

If these periods lasted I would not be on this forum now!

The good thing is that being reasonably disciplined, if it turns against me I stop and refine my strategies.

This is where TM is a valuable tool to have.

I have just finished my free trial period, but am now confused by the current renewal options.

Time Machine has been really useful to me and I would like to keep it for further testing, if cost does not prohibit me.

Additionally I have purchased data, which will otherwise be wasted.

Could somebody please advise me of the current cost of renewal monthly and annually for MFPro stand alone and MFPro + TM.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'd like to add my tuppence worth and suggest that subscribers should consider using TM on a frequent basis. Professionals are professionals because they constantly tweak their programs for better performance. They run simulations on hundreds and often thousands of events.
Firstly by building a model on say three years of events or several hundred events and using a hold out sample to test out their model.
Example:
Build model using data 2010-2013
Test model simulating  2014  (hold out sample)
Even if one is only half serious about betting they should at least run simulations on a weekly basis. I run them 7 days a week and find TM is a necessity.
Adequate simulations are the foundations of any long term winning strategy. Using real time test mode is okay if you treat it as a hobby and have plenty of time on your hands.
However TM is 15 times faster and essential if you expect to make any long term profit.
On that basis I agree with BlueSky in that TM should be included in some way as a package.

I have used Marketfeeder for a while and only started with Time Machine in the last two weeks.

I will be using TM all the the time. It is invaluable not just for testing triggers but for testing systems and optimizing selection methods.

I love it.

I would like an ongoing license too.

I would add my vote for a longer license option for TM.

Add me up here as well please.
