    you have to record a stereo wav that's fully panned left, and one that's fully panned right. last night i wrote all the EL to assign a full keyboard of pitches to every level, but realized there's no way my pc is gonna process all 200 lines of EL on every tick. so, this morning, i'm using your...

    Tradestation ES data

    well, it's obvious that they probably don't have any institutional clients. this would never fly. now i know why my old firm dumped the product. my finger's fast on the trigger too. why pay an arm and a leg for substandard data? as if that wasn't bad enough, they're the worst i've ever seen...

    Do you think posting lowers your ability to trade?

    Sometimes I get a hefty sock of negativity from this board, other times it exaddurates my sense of futility, and other times I walk away with a profound piece of wisdom. I believe when I've graduated my beginner status, I will visit much less often.

    Actually, this is great, I just learned that TS7 can call upon as many custom sound files as you like, which means I will have this completed in a few hours. Tomorrow will be cool. You use the function "playsound". ex from the user guide: Condition1 =...

    Awesome, maybe i should switch. the ultimate goal is to assign one note from a scale to every price level, and the scale would be recalibrated every day on the opening price, and run in a 1 tick chart. I should get an esignal trial, and check this out. Thanks very much.

    So, I made it a step further with this experiment today. In TS7, I set up an alert to trigger with every tick in a 1 tick ES chart, irrespective of bid or ask. I was somewhat floored by the experience of listening to the market trade. It has definite rhythms! I guess this is what many would...

    That's great! Do you know, will Investor RT let you assign unique (and custom) sounds to specific events? ie, would it let me assign sound a to event 1 and sound b to event 2? And, could I record the sounds myself? THanks

    Thanks very much for the reply. I'm very inspired to now know of at least two blind traders. The poodle and the old timers with trifocals crack me up. I can imagine, after a certain point in the pit, you barely need your eyes any more to do the job. One thing you said that struck a chord...

    lol, I know what you're saying about the wife in the office. That cracked me up. Thanks, this is an outstanding suggestion. I hadn't thought of doing it that way. You really got me thinking about how to expand on this idea. There are boundless possibilities here.

    lol, I believe it definitely does. The same belief has sent me searching for another, perhaps better way to use my brain. I've always been fascinated by the accelerated development of the other senses in people with disabilities.

    MarketSurfer, Thank you very much for your kind words of encouragement. I did a bit of research on Randy Greif online, and find he has a fascinating (and highly prolific) canon of musical experiments! I would be very interested in communicating with Randy if you wouldn't mind introducing...

    Guys, thanks very much for the great input. Nitro, words from you are very much appreciated, and help to validate certain directions I've been working in. Thanks very much. I have been taking a very minimal approach to things trading ES with just two charts, two timeframes, one MA in each...

    Visually Impaired Traders

    sure, Today I was thinking about unconventional ways to track price, for example via the other senses, and realized that a visually impaired trader may be able to share significant experience on the subject. As I move closer to "feeling" price in my trading, I'm thinking more and more about...

    good points guys. i guess a blind trader could do something akin to tape reading.

    adaptive moving average

    nitro, Thanks very much for your reply. I see exactly what you mean in terms of the subjectivity of best, and best being what works for the individual. As a new trader, there is still a small part of me that's waiting to be told what to do, although I'm nearly free of this by now. I...
