I don't know how much data you have but I have in the past used the datadownloader to convert a metastock file to an excel workbook file then merge the other data into the excel workbook, then reconvert the entire file to a Metastock file thru the data downloader. Have Fun.

Your locked into engineering for alittle while, until you can build up your finance "resume". That's OK, your main objective should be to save $ for trading and living expenses for one day when you start trading. I was in the engineering field for 9 years and finally left , I was sick of it, I'm...

I didn't say I wanted anything for anyone, I also didn't mention anything about trading. I only saying that the obstacles to personal freedom these days is getting greater and greater and its being allowed to happen. Regarding being slaves to the Chinese thats already happening Risktaker with...

I agree. On Oanda's play account I took on a 10 lot position and Oanda required $60k in margin, $25k for a 5 lot position vs only $10k / $5k for Refco at 100:1 leverage. Lets imagine one day that everyone had $100k to trade with. Using 5:1 leverage you would only need $5k on deposit with...

or Maybe the Markets need more people who have plenty of money and have an easy come easy go mentality ? You may get your wish though, volatility can't stay dormant for too long. :)

Forget about Metastock. Its a good program to download price files into and play around with ideas, but not much more. It has no direct trade link to broker. Metastock is good program to help people who invest with a longer term time frame keep on top of their trades. Go with Tradestation or...

Use the following spreadsheet calculation. $20k Risk = 2.5% or $500 units Max Position limit = $4000 (Ability to take on 5 positions) Choose a stop point. Allow room for movement. Too close and you allow no room for movement , too far away then you undersize your position. A start point...

I made this spreadsheet to compare the Dec 05 contract to spot futures for the month of September 05. The basis was pretty consistent and the ranges compared very well using end of day data even though it was a rollover month. Not sure how the minute data would match up.

When I read articles like this one I have to think about how things are changing...... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050928/ap_on_bi_ge/late_loans Even if this article is not true, we can all agree that America can not function as a country if everybody has the ability to go to the beach...

I'm trying to finalize this one myself. I don't like Oanda's margin rates though, In practice testing I took on a 5 lot position and my margin used was 25K, when raised the trade level to 10 lots the margin used went up to 60k vs 5k / 10k @ Refco. Something to think about if you ever trade...

Before the FX platform roles out I'm going to sign up for one on one day of programming help down at the Tradestation office in FL. They say one day of help is around $1500, well worth it to get all my issues resolved, but if I can work the issues out on my own prior then I'll save the money...

I'm with you a 100%. Never buy a downtrend. Wait for some type of sign of a rebound , anything. Also don't call the bottom wait for a reversal like the April one, or anything else you may use. I'm waiting to trade this one, but I have to wait til the buying dries up more and the prices drop...

I'm using tradestation right now with alerts and its working very nicely. Tradestation is shooting for the end of the year to role out the automated trading on FX, which will be very nice. If you trade only 25 lots RT then the platform fee is waived. But I have some work to do before I can be...

I "earned" an MBA in finance from Rutgers (NJ). Has not paid off yet, but may someday ? I got it to try and help me for a transition into the finance industry. Negatives: 1. Cost - I billed $40k to my previous employer. Would not have paid on my own. Schools also will collect tuition from...

I traded them with a simulated account for 1 month. I traded 110 lots round turn for the month taking on 5 lot positions each time. When I would enter trades i would check the price feeds on some other platforms I am using (live accounts) and prices matched up very well, and with the 2 pip...

I have used the Interbank FX platform for a month now and can say I like the platform. Spreads are good. I like the expert attachment, kind of reminds me of Metastock which I do like using. Some Positives: Hand held devices, spreads, leverage, liquidity to 10M (?) & the ability to automate...

Thanks for searching. I wanted to learn how to do this myself. I think View to EasyLanguage PowerEditor Preferences to Syntax Coloring will do what you want.

Good trade for now. I entered this one this week in the FX market, but took profits too soon. I'm looking for re-entry into this DT. Good luck.
