No offense to you James, but I have to grin when someone proclaims that X is "the best day trader any of us have ever seen." I'm sure many of us think we're the best and the brightest, and have SAT scores, IQ tests, or P/L statements to back it up, so I'll just leave it at that. IMHO (and...

Jay, I can't imagine why you would need to store regional data for all exchanges. The NYSE is the only exchange that provides relatively accurate quotes and that is why I and other Users want the daily data. The data integrity of all the other exchanges and ECNs is basically worthless...

Jay, that will work for me .... but will that increase my symbol count? If I set up a linked workspace with intra-day and daily charts, and use the symbol "ADI=N", will my symbol count be 1 or 2? I hope it is only 1. Regards, Slave2Market

Besides the exchange filtered problem with single letter symbols ... which I have also reported numerous times, what are the plans for providing Daily data for exchange filtered symbols? I've covered this ad nauseum in the past ... but thought I would bring it up again. Regards, Slave2Market

bundlemaker, apparently you don't use exchange filtered symbols. Type the following symbol into a daily chart window, advanced or regular - IBM=N. You will find that eSignal does not provide daily chart data for this symbol. I use exchange filtered symbols (add "=N" to the base symbol)...

I use eSignal to drive one of my software packages, and I really CAN'T believe that I'm the only User who watches NYSE stocks. I would think that most NYSE traders would use exchange filtered symbols e.g. IBM=N, but the problem is that eSignal DOES NOT provide daily data for these symbols - it...

vanilla2, yes NeoTicker can perform tick by tick bid/ask testing, but there is a catch ... you need the data! The only way to get years of historical data is to collect it yourself in real-time, or buy it and import it into NeoTicker. NeoTicker is not a data provider, they are basically a...

Of course the trades won't be identical to simulation results, but I can tell you from many years of personal experience that the results will be insignificant ... that is if you do proper simulation and analysis. If your system trades once in a Blue Moon and is not a robust system, then you...

WDGann, just out of curiousity, what is your point ... please note, this is a non-confrontational question? NeoTicker is primarily just a very sophisticated real-time database application that offers the User incredibile flexibility in terms of accessing the data. As a quantitative trader...

You can do Bid/Ask testing with NeoTicker. I used TradeStation for many years, but found that it just has too many limitiations. If you're really serious about system development and testing you should look into NeoTicker ... it makes TradeStation look like a toy. Regards, Slave2Market...

Plop - I don't know when you saw that program, but any real estate ON even NEAR the water is outrageously priced. You couldn't buy a sliver of land near the water for $150K - well, maybe if it was only big enough to dock a jet ski :D Florida real estate has experienced incredible price...

There are probably hundreds of traders in the Miami area ... I'm located in Miami Beach. Regards, Slave2Market

Have you considered an Infiniti FX45? I've seen a few tooling around town, and they are definitely not feminine! Where I live (South Florida), I see a lot of very nice cars, and there's something appealing about this vehicle. I plan to visit all the luxury dealerships this week, and this car is...

I understand your desire to be able to hit bids and offers, but this MIGHT be the primary source of the extreme noise level for most NYSE stocks. I know that everybody has their own trading style, but I don't think the ultra high noise levels currently exhibited by NYSE stocks is beneficial for...

I don't want to start a major argument, but I think this might be a good idea. I'm not exactly sure of all the causes, but my analysis shows that the noise level on NYSE stocks has increased by at least 2X. They are now trading like NASDAQ stocks ... which in my opinion, is bad for trading, and...

It's hard to believe how much B.S. is getting posted on these threads about how commissions are not that important. If you are a full-time day trader (not a swing or position trader), then getting a very competitive commission rate is CRITICAL to success. If you're not getting a competitive...

Sambatrade, I have to CONGRATULATE you for sticking up for the experienced trader. You've been taking a beating here lately, and it's pretty obvious who is upset. Most traders right now are feeling the squeeze due to the tough trading environment, and their egos have taken a big hit in the...

No solution has been found for the eSignal Exchange filtering problem. They are working with me on solving it, and hopefully they will find the problem shortly. I would still like to request that any Users that also have this problem, PLEASE contact eSignal support. They are trying to...

Andy S. I can reproduce the problem every time and on at least 5 different PCs of different manufacturers and models e.g. Dell and Toshiba, and other Users I know can also reproduce it reliably. They are all running Windows 2K Service Pack 2 or Windows XP, and the only application running is...

To chs245: exchange filtering works if you are trying to access historical data, but it does not work in real-time. To GATrader: I'm using eSignal to drive NeoTicker, and it's definitely an eSignal problem, so NeoTicker can't solve it. The only other viable option with NeoTicker is to use a...
