    Pr0crast, Is that the Ninjatrader free Simulator program? What about a Level II DOM display? Looks like it has great potential. Thanks!

    Vista, I like the ideas. I'd probably keep the bottom DOM bars red.

    Here's an example of the YM Tic Chart using the MBT data stream today. Yes, it does have short periods of "zero" volume. NOTE that this is AFTER I backfilled with DTNIQ data, so the problem may not be strickly with MBT data stream (unless MBT gets their data from the same DTNIQ source that I...

    Well, sorry, I'm plotting Tic Chart and T&S for the ES, not the YM, so I can't really comment on your YM problem. Wish I could help.

    I don't know about IB, but I have been using MB Trading data in Quotetracker since May 2007 and have had very few data problems and no freezes on my tic chart or my T&S.

    Yes, I start a fresh chart every week and have eliminated the problem. The same problem can apply to copying both lines and text.

    I use QT version 3.8.6b-1. I use the same workaround as you for plotting trendlines and hardly notice it either. I do notice that after about 4 to 5 days of heavy trendlining and annotating a chart, QT does copy an earlier (wrong) line as you described. I have assumed that some buffer...

    Yes, $Value is checked. And, "Last Price" is checked in the "Calculate Portfolio Based On" . Do you have your stretch/squeeze portfolio selected in the Portfolio window of the main window? You should see the "Total" value in the "Last" column of your portfolio (at the bottom of the main...

    For Vista and R/R: Here is my screen shot of Str/Squ on Quotetracker. The left and middle windows are the setup in QT (they get covered up with my ES, YM, and S/S charts during the trading day) . The window on the right is the S/S chart itself. Editing the $Cash (offset) value as shown...

    Vista, if you want to see what Str/Squ should look like in Quotetracker, send me a private message and I will send you a screen shot with how the setup should look.

    Interesting and helpful P1, thanks. Maybe I missed (or forgot) this somewhere in the last 10 months of effort, but what is the significance between Upper and lower case R's and B's (e.g., r2R vs. R2r, b2B vs. B2b, Rr vs. rR, etc)? Maybe traverse vs. retrace volume?

    Stepan, I switched from QCharts to QuoteTracker in May 2007 and have been very pleased. It's free, but you will have to purchase the data. I get the streaming data from my broker MB Trading for free with my futures account and pay DTN IQ $20 per month for the backfill ES and YM data. I know...

    The pennants introduced this month remind me a lot of what we called "triangles" in my old equities technical analysis days. Thus, the FTP reminds me of the old ascending triangle which tended to break out to the upside. The fbp reminds me of the old descending triangle which tended to...

    Spyder, your 5 posts on flaws this month were very helpful! Would you care to elaborate your definition of a Hitch? You examples look like low volatility doji's with (I assume) low volume.
