The implication of the above statement by rcj is that the accumulated volume is only broadcast to the API every 30 seconds or so. Previously it refreshed every second (at least). This is an unacceptable change in data delivery to the API (form and frequency). As rcj states, many API apps...

Thanks man, for some reason I only noticed backfill issues today with IB. Was it a calendar/DST based issue or something (so I know for next time)?

Oh good, the possibility of civil discussion on the difficulties in "differentiating". You raise some valid points about your experience with the method - believe me I understand the frustrations. Holding and hoping are not recommended - the trade should go your way almost immediately...

Mu.

I speak Hershey, here's a working explanation: IF you can establish what is going on up to now [in terms of price volume channels on 3 levels etc] and form a hypothesis of what must happen next in the price volume sequence AND draw up a plausible counter hypothesis with the opposite...

Who's this?

Can't see how you get that. Formula looks right but not the result. I think you mean $42,437, right? Which is what my second response above gives, i.e. the discount factor for the final 60,000 is 1.41386 using compound interest versus 1.41491 using simple interest ($31 or so...

You mean we should apply (1.08)^0.5 to the final period = 1.0392 rather than 1.04? Yes that makes sense too. Interested to hear what is the standard practice for loans, bonds etc.

I get $439,860 using the following discount factors (divisors?) for each period: 1: 1.08 2: 1.08^2 3: 1.08^3 4: 1.08^4 4.5: 1.08^4 x 1.04 And applying the discount to each cash flow respectively assuming payment is made at the end of each period. i.e. don't pay more than...

B+R- and R+B- There you go.

As I understand it, it builds up the historic data locally - so you can't simply hit backfill and expect 60 days, but if you log in every day it will build up over and above what your data source provides. I'll second that Quotetracker is one of the finest applications I've had the pleasure...

Yes, yes, yes. Wait... what?

Analyst reports (sell-side usually), annual reports, 10Ks, 10Qs, investor presentations, news, institutional shareholder base, outlook for the oil market, demographic trends... Not sure what you expect to be able to do with the information especially as you appear to lack the wherewithall to...

Top ranting.

I waited a while to see if anyone else picked this up. Did you scale the MACD criteria with price? ES prices are around 5x larger than K200 which would make the 0.4 gating a bit of a stretch for K200.

Yes, getting the stochastic xo right would help the backtest, I'm sure. Volume too. For me, rockets are characterised by lateral or with-trend non-dom left to right moves. The "I couldn't get in" syndrome very likely means you are watching a rocket in progress. The indicator values alone...

Well he seems to have got under your skin. Too funny. Perhaps there is a book in this after all? Thanks Jack, I hope you are in fine health (all things considered). And here's to the crazy ones!

See Spydertrader's Iterative Refinement thread starting with Jack's post here: I found it with Google. Those guys.
