Yes, I've got PushPop, it seems to be a pretty nifty item. Too bad someone can't program a 'take away all restrictions/bugs/data errors/problems from TradeStation' .DLL, I think I'd pay some good money for that one. Ditto for a .DLL that does the same for Windows. The PushPop 7...

I'm not sure if it does...we're still using 2000i. I just assumed that TS6 would have the same functionality as 2000i. God, if it doesn't, AND Omega is making people use them to trade through (ie. not allowing people to choose who they enter their trades through from the TS6 interface), AND...

You could get yourself a copy of Omega ProSuite 2000i. Not only does its RadarScreen allow you to do just what you're looking to do, but OptionStation is there if you ever want to get into options investing. It may be old and no longer supported, but it works. And you'll probably be able to...

Actually, no, not with our indicators. Because our indicators automatically adapt to the dominant market cycle, they tend to be pretty uniform across all time frames. (The dominant market cycle is the same no matter what time frame you look at.) So, all we need to do is set them to update...

Breakout, in the screenshot you posted a while back, I notice that you're using 100-tick bars. If I understand the concept correctly, a new bar will only be drawn after 100 ticks, is that right? Can you tell me if there is an advantage to using tick bars instead of time bars? If I'm thinking...

Actually, I put no credence whatsoever in Fibonnacci, Elliott waves, Gann lines, etc. They seem to me to be more superstitious mumbo-jumbo than actual trading strategies/indicators...much too subjective. I mean really, can anyone really tell me without any doubt what Elliot wave the market...

I have all indicators/signals/etc. set to update on each tick. We've got fairly fast machines, so there's no performance penalty in constantly calling complex code (the entire trading strategy consists of 26 pages (approximately 4000 lines) of EasyLanguage code). DGBrothers

I'd really appreciate if anybody could tell me if there's a more efficient way of finding the entry and exit points using these indicators. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in one course of action that it's hard to see other ones. Thanks again, DGBrothers

Hi, Here's a screen shot of a recent day. I'm still playing with the time frames, so this one is on a 10 minute chart. As you can see, on 09/09/02, at around 9:50am, you would have a great setup to enter at around 890. The SNR almost didn't confirm the trade, but it finally took off...

Thanks to everyone for their help on this one... What I ended up doing was creating two different functions, one for holidays, one for FOMC report days. In those functions, I created arrays. The one for holidays was easy (unless the following code is hosed, in that case it was extremely...

Thank, WDGann, but that's still not what I'm looking for. I've already updated the GlobalServer holiday list up until 2005. What I'm looking for is a way to use EasyLanguage code to determine when those holidays will occurs, so I can exit out of any positions before they occur. Our new...

ProfitSeer hit the nail right on the head when he spoke of using DMI and ADX together. I've taken it a bit further than that... I used some of John Ehlers' code to create a modified DMI+, DMI-, and ADX. These automatically adjust to market parameters (dominant market cycle length). I chart...

Actually, this will be for back-testing purposes. Part of our new trading methodology requires us to avoid entering any trades in the first 30 minutes of a trading session after a date gap (after a weekend or holiday), avoid entering any trades in the last 15 minutes of any trading session...

Hi, I've got a quick question for anyone interested... I'm trying to determine several things in EasyLanguage (EL) code: 1.) holidays and weekends (in advance, not after the fact, so I can exit all trades programmatically before the end of the trading day preceding a weekend or...
