    "Market Map" - anybody using it ?

    I had referred to this brokerage in an earlier post. Larry P is definitely connected to this brokerage in some commercial way. I have just read Larry's out-of-print book in which he describes the creation of the neural net which is behind his maps. He went to huge expense and effort to...

    "Market Map" - anybody using it ?

    Fair point - I was just trying to say that Copan and Larry were using the same ideas - suggesting more links between Tom / Larry / Steve Copan and the maps.

    "Market Map" - anybody using it ?

    This discussion gets more and more interesting. Tyren observes that the Larry map is the same as the Tom map, based on his actual observations. I would like to know from Tyren just how close he reckons they are, because there is no doubt they look the same, but I have never bothered to...

    "Market Map" - anybody using it ?

    I have been trying to piece together the story of the Market Map and here is where I have arrived at. I am happy to be corrected if any of my facts are wrong and you know better. Pesavento developed his predictive map about 14 years ago. It is a pattern-recognition neural net and was...

    Am I wasting time learning Visual Basic?

    I think that you need to decide what your primary objective is. If you only want to backtest a system with a view to eventually trading it, then you need to choose a language or backtesting method that you find the easiest. in other words, take the shortest route that you can. I say this...

    Excel Alert

    My favoured approach would be to launch something like Notepad to open a document with the required text - that way, it will be there for you to see even if you have left your computer for a short time, in which case you might miss an audio alert. This would also allow you to have more than one...

    Complete Noob Excel Problem????

    Uncle Tom The ExcelTip idea you found DOES work, but (typical with Excel), it is not as simple as it seems. If you click on the screenshot they give you and study their example, you will see that they have a column of numbers in column A and a formula in cell B1. By clicking on cell B1 in...

    Getting data from TWS whilst VBA running.

    There is no reason why Ontime should not help to solve the problem. The idea is that you call all of your code from a small routine that itself is triggered from the Ontime event, say every minute. The DDE should update in between the calls. Two thoughts though - firstly - maybe you need...

    IB Excel DDE VBA question

    My money is still on a "bad" value - here is a routine that will create Error 13. If you build the error handling in that I have used, you can display the data that is causing the error to occur. This may help you to move forward. Sub Test() Dim x As Double On Error GoTo errlab x =...

    IB Excel DDE VBA question

    Type mismatch usually occurs when you are trying to load a value in one format into a field with a different, non-compatible format. For example, if you have a field which is specified as an integer, you would get a type mismatch if you tried to load a text value into it. I suggest you check...

    Excel help

    If you put the subtotals into a separate column you can then put a total at the bottom of that column. It does not matter if there are blank cells in the range. Excel will ignore them. As for you problem with Excel crashing out, it is difficult to say what is happening, without more...

    Last Extended Hours Trade to Excel

    My apologies Christian I promise that I will never try to help you again. P.S. Why don't you ask the authors of the software for help? It's what I would do.

    Last Extended Hours Trade to Excel

    I know absolutely nothing about this software but looking at their website it says that their latest release has been made to handle the recent changes to the Yahoo service. So the big question is - are you running the latest release? If not, that would be the first thing to try.

    Protecting an excel trading system

    You do not say if the system is written as formulae on a worksheet or with VBA code. Either way, the answer is pretty much the same - Excel is an extremely insecure environment. There is freely available software that you can use to crack the passwords on Excel workbooks,addins etc. So...
