Love eSigs customer service. Check out this exchange today just half hour ago. Luv how my last question was answered so thoroughly.

I've looked at this in model in the past in depth and it really is a matter of odds. You can make it work almost all the time to the point where you might only get burned once a year or two or more. I would say you would need at least a 1/4 million dollar account with $500 intraday margins so...

Wondered if anyone here can help me. I am in need of 1 minute ES data from Feb. 27, 2007. If anyone has this day, please PM me. Much thanks!

Constant Range charts are independant of time. Each bar or candle has the same range (Hi - Low). This can tend to smooth out the chart a bit. Some like 'em, some don't... eSignal also has Constant Volume charts where the volume traded of each bar is the same. For lots more info, google...

I've always found their advanced charts to be VERY customizable and once you have the perfect chart design you can set that as your default chart so you never have to see the "orginal" esignal default ever again. Personally, I'll take reliability and functionality over design any day (not that...

Despite that last quote above that did little to instill any confidence in the range charts, they seem to be working pretty well. No other issues so far running the beta today.

I'm trying it out starting Friday 3/23/07. Hope there's not too many bugs. I've been waiting for Range charts for awhile... Info: http://forum.esignalcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22095 To download: http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?groupid=1016 And there's this...

After this morning's fill I tend to agree. But if your are aware of the risk, spread, slippage and trade a proper size for your account balance, it can be a calculated risk worth the reward. But I guess you never really know 'till after the fact what the slippage will be...

Well considering it was a SELL order I'd say it was pretty smart - do you see where EURUSD is trading now???

Did I get screwed by my broker this morning or by the fast market? Times below are central. I placed a mkt sell order just 20 sec. after release of NFP data. I had to wait 38 sec. to find out that I was filled and at a price 15 pips worse than was being bid at the time of my order...

Thanks NihabaAshi - good stuff - I will keep re-reading :) I guess the "expansion interval" you mention doesn't work with constant range charts, unless you track the time of each constant range bar perhaps...

Thanks brownsfan - I did look at that but saw no improvement. You can sort my data by time and see there is no real affect on the equity curve.

A closing price through the 2.5 volatility stop line switches the colors until you get a close back on the other side of the new VS line. This does happen in real-time. Entries are approximately where the white arrows are on my chart (1 tick over the first green bar high or 1 tick lower than...
