An exact scratch day ($0) doesn't count, so the percentage isn't always calculated out of a total of 10 days.

Fair enough, I'm perhaps biased by my own experience, which is having finished a fourth rollover yesterday. If you keep risk in focus, it really isn't difficult to get a rollover. But I wouldn't say the monthly is equivalent to 2 10-day combines, since you can skip poor days in the 10 day...

No. I generally agree with your comments on Topstep, but you're wrong here. With the 10-day combine you can qualify for a free rollover (or get your deposit back). In theory this could go on forever, and Topstep makes nothing from you. With the CC you're paying a monthly fee, plus the...

If it's impossible on 30K-50K-150K of OPM they certainly aren't going to succeed with their own 5K - 10K account. I agree that repeating failing combines over and over is a waste of money and time, but the people I see don't seem to be doing that - they fail, then retool / practice...

I don't understand your urgency. You have 20 trading days to complete a 10 day combine, so there was no reason you couldn't pass on 1 or more days that weren't suitable.

Stepan7, That looks like very fine work, but why the .dll's, after so many people, especially pepe, contributed public code? I never install .dll's in my trading app. :( - palinuro

I just arrived in Chiang Mai and am thinking of settling in and seeing how it goes as a base - looking around at rental apartments now. It looks pretty straightforward, but if anyone has any suggestions or advice I'd appreciate it. One big question: how do you go about extending the...

Quick fix: find this method in ChartHelper and comment out lines as indicated: private DateTime CalcTimeOutofBounds(int barIdx) { _debug = ""; DateTime retTime = DateTime.MinValue; int lastBarIndex = _Bars.Count - 1; // TimeSpan...

That's a great line. :) And thanks for you posts about your trading; I've started studying CL and find them very helpful. - palinuro

vorzo, thanks for the update of the pv tools for NT 7. On mine, using 7b22, the channel lines won't extend beyond the last bar on the chart. Is there any fix for this? thanks again - palinuro

Nor is it being targeted as such. There's a pretty big world out there beyond those willing and able to pay for Apple's latest toys. - palinuro

A great idea - the timing is obviously critical to success, but never discussed, as if it were somehow obvious.

Possible, but likely to be a painful process. Witness the frustration periodically evident in many 'educational' threads. But are there many skills that people can readily pick up without any direct training?

I believe it gets the data as it comes in, but either rounds or truncates the precision to 1 second. Pretty frustrating, as you say, to know the data is arriving at your computer with all the information you want, but your software is deleting it before you can get to it. Are you...

I've only used IB, but you can use any of the NT compatible data providers. If you use one that also provides futures data there wouldn't be a synch issue. - palinuro
