Is that insinuating that you have 2.....

That's interesting. I never knew that one!

Sorry I must have missed this. If you run a 1 minute chart in TradeStation, then you can simulate your own bars and store them in an array for calculations. Somewhere in the algorithm that is simulating bars you have an input for bar interval. The code will run annoyingly slow!

Nice to see a fellow Gator fan here. Purdue put up a fight, but we should still win the tournament. We definatly are the best team out there. Just sux I didn't get 'em 50-1 this year like I did last!

Yes you could add a ton of switches and quadruple the cost of having your idea programmed, only to learn that you no longer are left with a system but a toy that does not make money! IMO, If you want to make money as a system trader, you need to be on the same page with your programmer, or...

Except the programmer has access to apply 3 dimensional optimization techniques and can probably find more robust parameters than you can!

The answer is YES. But it is a little more involved than you may want to go.

I would never honor such a deal and here is why. Knowing absolutly nothing of the strategy, I'm 95% confident that it will not make money. Why would I waste my time learning, programming, and maintaining some strategy that most likely won't work??? It's alot of work for nothing. Wilburbear...

I've worked with TT's api but I've never heard of autotrader. Do you have any info on it?

How about... inputs: length(20); vars: atr(0); if d>d[1] then begin if atr=0 then atr=highd(1)-lowd(1) else atr=(((length-1)*atr)+(highd(1)-lowd(1)))/length; end;

Distribution of 30 min es chart with 20 period moving average attached.

Maybe it's a limitation in esignal. Have you asked them?

Where??? I've never seen it. I built my own program to take TS data and combine into a portfolio view. I didn't trust the math in the 3rd party products I tried!

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between "tops and bottoms" and "turning points". Wouldn't the top or bottom BE the turning point?

What is the front end software that you want to work with?

OK. I included a workspace with the code I sent earlier (and some more code so you have to import the eld before opening the workspace). The chart on the left uses the method I posted earlier. The chart on the right uses the intrabar order generation method. Load it up and see what you think.

Try this... Under format strategies, choose format. This is where you modify the inputs. Look for the Calculation tab. You will see the option to enable intrabar orders there. You must use "buy/sell next bar at market" in order for intrabar orders to work. I still think the code I posted...

you must type "[intrabarorderpersist=true]". I would put it as the first line in the strategy.

I think this is what you want to do. This won't buy 100 times as the averages cross intrabar. I commented the code pretty well so hopefully you can understand it.

I misunderstood what he was looking for. I was talking about calculating what price the crossover will occur ahead of time.
