I am using Sqlite www.sqlite.org to queue data into and out of mysql. The result is better than I expected. sqlite is an embedded database with a very simple sub-set of sql statements. An sqlite database can be memory resident or disk based. Compiled into a C++ program is only about 100kb...

I have a MFC/C++ client that uses the TWS API. Forced upgrades mean a weekend of trying to find details on what has changed and why. The API docs on their site doesn't document changes and a search of their site also doesn't show changes. No documentation in the release notes as well...

Trig functions and comparing the area of price above and below a detrended time series. In an uptrend the area above the detrended time series will be greater than the area below. The ratio of up/down areas will tell you how strong the trend is. Changes in the areas over time can tell you...

Thaks Prof, ask you know Ergodic is also referred to as a 'True Strength Index'. An excellent thread with source can be found at: https://www.tradestation.com/Discussions/Topic.aspx?Topic_ID=4640 and http://www.linnsoft.com/tour/techind/tsi.htm and discussed at length in Blau's...

Those trades, and thousands of posts to ET, were made with a 'system' based on price levels Surfer now believes is no better than random, from his 11/07 post: My fav post is his short call in early 05: " holding shorts here. rally at open has faded--screens are turning red." Followed by...

ping to ib servers ok (Net fine) exchange ok (Tradestation working) Fault = IB alone

Earlier IB YM = 11903 Tradestation YM 11911 Not a connection or exchange problem. Not a 'fast market' Probably need 2 accounts these days... Too bad. IB should signal 'bad data' at least when the lag gets too wide.

Using Tradestation next to IB, no question IB is not showing YM ES trades and volume. IMHO. Untradeable. Switching to TS.

Great thread. 5Pillars, what is the indicator on your chart below the delta indicator? What are you using to confirm a change in order flow? Thank you

Tradestation alert just now "ECBOT trading unavailable."

Lao, great post, the style is clearly from the Hershey school. Have you been trading futures using the Hershey SCT method? So, how is it going? "Nothing is impossible for those who don't have to do it." (Lao Tzu???)

Spyder has said in an earlier post that he is not trading the futures method completely as taught by Hershey. The Jack Hershey Method for trading futures as described on ET does not work. Thank you.

I believe the approach used to trade equities the way Spydertrader is doing does work. Please reread my statement: The Jack Hershey Method for trading futures as described on ET does not work. Do you know of anyone who has traded futures successfully using the Hershey Method as...
