bhds, I'll second the call for less buggy. Don't be surprised when it does some seemingly stupid things. I've learned to live with it. As to intraday alerts, one of my mentors sets hundreds daily. I've learned to do likewise. It's like a bunch of free empoyees looking for setups for you. Even...

anima, Why in the world would you be interested in what the average pristine customer does? It's a fact that being average will get you no where. I'd be more interested in how their best people do. And unlike so many people on these boards that want to trash pristine (and others) I did...

bhds, You need to set your qcharts preferences to receive changes also. I forget which tab it's on, just look around and you'll find it.

I've never done any backtesting and have only written very simple formulas. Having said that, if you send me what you want I'll try to at least give you some ideas and a start. Beyond that, no promises.:)

Anyone live in DC? Just checked the library of congress and they have two copies. :) Problem is both are checked out, one is overdue.:(

My apologies. Sorry Dan if I misread your post, still grogy eyed, I thought you were referring to my post, not the whole thread. I wouldn't call it useless though. Depending on where your at, it might be useful to know what's possible and what's not.

Sorry if I offended, did I not understand the question properly? If say WXYZ was at $42.55 and it moved to $41.40, assuming my entry setup appeared (with very specific parameters regarding pattern, liquidity, volume, time of day, etc.)I'd be in within 5 to 10 cents of the $42.55 number (or I...

Yep, the 1 after the D (or any other period) indacates the number of bars ago. The other parameter for MA's is for calculating the MA a certain number of bars ago. So, you could for example, calculate what the value of the ma was so many bars prior to a certain number of days ago. Can't quite...

cool, and thx

Just email crontech, they'll write the formula's for you if not insane in length. At a minimum that get you started in the right direction.

Could somebody please explain how a sweep to fill order is any different than just using SMART routing by itself. Sort of seems like the same thing. I'm clueless on this one.

On a one point move, I'd expect at least 50 cents, be happy with 75, and on a good day get close to 90. Now, keep in mind my style is one that is designed to get me in right at the turn and I baby sit scalps. Typically I micro-mange on a 2 minute time frame.

What time frame?

I was going to add to the above list when I recalled the Everybody Loves Raymond episode where Deb made fish, but then I figured that would be downright rude.:D

Basically you can't. Sometimes response is 1 day. Lately, it's been a few days. They always respond, and if it's a matter about using the software they'll answer your question. If you complain about the software being buggy or not working right, that's another thing altogether. I use SWP...

I (we?) always appreciate a fast, straight answer. Makes life just a little easier every day. Thx.

Sorry, but I don't do any backtesting, personally I don't believe it works. But that aside, I do use it intraday in a very simple way. I use Qcharts for the charting and SWP for my watchlists. I have created custom columns for % in daily range, change from open, and gap open. I also use the...

I've used it for several months now. If you have any specific question, shoot away. As for specific tips, I'm not sure where to begin. I'd say the first thing to do is decide what you want to accomplish with it, then start figuring out how to do it. That's where we might be able to help. Good luck.

You are totally correct....for yourself. Please avoid speaking for the rest of the universe. I couldn't teach myself, I paid someone, and now; lo and behold, I make money. Virtually everyday. With little to no risk. And I'm not stressed out of my mind doing it.

Things got ok for a few days, and now problems again. I couldn't short EXPE today, as well as AMAT.
