Thats a graphical output update interval ... incoming data may have sub 200ms intervals it just won't refresh the chart until 200ms have passed.

There is no system to audit. Nor, last time I looked is there anything rigorous enough to be called a trading plan and tested. What Woodies group gives is a bunch of possible entries and exits for you to choose from and create your plan. As with most other possible strategies in trading I...

Depends how fast your shirt is ripped off you.

Just create a couple of moderators for the late Asian - European period. They don't have to do anything except delete the repeated spam posts/threads when they appear. Baron said just complain but the response is pretty slow during this period.

The standard sierrachart one does have those numbers ... I thought you wanted the number at each peak and trough, which I thought I wanted once. My mistake.

Thinking about what I said there. If an "indicator" was statistically right some percentage of the time about future behaviour that might be the equivalent of a perpetual motion generator creating energy from nothing some percentage of the time (and absorbing some other percentage of time)...

dan, Note that predictive is not neccessarily the opposite of lagging. Leading is the opposite of lagging. Leading indicators are the trading equivalent of perpetual motion or burning water in car engines. The closing price neither leads nor lags because it is the most recent...

LMAO ... thanks for that illiquid. Excellent. :D

Personally I don't think a high IQ is essential. Its very useful for picking tradable relationships from the market and noticing their changes over time but you can do that without a stunning intellect if your second component makes up for any limitations in the first. The EQ component is...

Illiquid, I always thought that the best purpose of the thread was to demonstrate that normal guys can make money in the markets. By doing this it makes the "this is impossible because i dont get it" threads less harmful to new traders. I trade a lot less size in my day trading account...

Whaaaattt ?????

I'm not even sure I understood what the issue you guys were having was. But we do have a problem with hsi at rollover time.

Mark Douglas's book, despite the catchy title is much more pragmatic than that (I highly recommend it but it has little to do with the recent usage of "in the zone").

You quickly loose interest in the numbers if you include them at every price. I included that option on some software that I wrote but found that I and everyone else soon turned it off. Its available in Sierra Chart but not an option I'd recommend.

I think you might have picked chit chat for this thread (and it will soon be there). Consider the differences between a Papist and a Baptist. A similar number of letters to that between Sunnite and Shiite and enough for centuries of wars :)

My ping round trip to HK IB server is 180ms. US is 250ms. Scalper, hardly. I'm a microtrend trader. :)

I thought I'd start a new thread on this subject to try to become better informed before maybe making a new suggestion. On a prior thread with a different subject stock777 said: "09-09-06 10:54 AM Speaking of trouble, I hope IB is working on the problem with futures volume reporting that...

If I cared about volume I would vote to omit the spread volume --- it totally stuffs hsi up in the few days before rollover each month.

14:27 Kiwi: I dont disagree with that view ... but 14:27 Kiwi: thats why people like dbphoenix have emphasised the stepped approach 14:28 Kiwi: have strategy 14:28 Kiwi: have it written down in detail 14:28 Kiwi: test the fuck out of it 14:28 Kiwi: forward test it (paper trade) 14:28...

A discussion on Trading Plans and a template at another location (apologies mods). You can predict price to a degree but what must always be accepted is that you can and do predict (off this formation there is X% chance of a move to Y before it retraces to Z and stops out) but its always only...
