True. Hence why I call it a model account. Yet, it shows what's possible if you're consistent and compound your profits instead of withdrawing them. Thank you! :) Hello, John, My old company made me an offer which in the grand scheme of things was too good to pass upon. Basically, they...

2 ES points per day, net. $5000 in margin per contract. 15K account. Profits are re-invested and compounded.

That was the general idea. That I share my current application and that we move forward together from there. The programmer would obviously gain access to the application and what I have learned in my studies/practice of the financial markets. But not so sure I'll go down this path anyway...

I don't doubt that. But I suspect it will take me quite a while to become proficient enough to create something similar to what I currently have. Just have to get started at it though. Likewise. :)

Thanks, zwangerz. :)

Okay. I would need to look into how I can do that. Can IQ Feed store their data in *.csv format? As of now, my application only loads *.csv files, I think. Might be that I do it like this for now, but consider other solutions for a future upgrade. Still, the same question arises: Connect...

I do want to learn it eventually. It's on my fat to-do list. So is learning a new market and learning options. But I do feel learning programming is mandatory these days... Howard It's written in C# and if not a million (could be), there's at least thousands of lines of codes. The way to go...

Hi, ironchef, Please see my reply to SteveH. I don't think that's possible. I do NOT know how to program. :) I know some basics, but it's too basic to be of any use yet, except simple stuff in VBA. Best, Howard

Hi, SteveH, I sincerely appreciate the suggestion, but I think what you're suggesting is way beyond me and probably not even possible with this project. It's written in C#, but uses queries and functions in SQL. It's not just an algorithm in Ninjatrader. I don't use Ninjatrader at all for this...

Okay. Cool. I use QCollector to store 1-minute intraday OHLC data in a *.csv file. My application in turn loads this *-csv-file for further calculations. Are you saying that I can download this data directly from IQ Feed without an additional program? I assume this wasn't the case back in the...

Doubt what? I've communicated a ton with these people. Trust me - they don't know what I'm doing, nor do they have any interest in the stock market. Trust me, I am concerned about my ideas being stolen, but what options do I have, really? They did sign an NDA of course, although I have no...

No indicators. Not candles per se, although I guess part of the logic I use could be perceived as candles. Simply put, it's an application which analyzes the market according to my own criteria/logic and makes this information available to me. Not sure if I can say anything more than that...

Okay. I did specifically talk about intraday updates and second updates, so I thought it would be clear that the main purpose is day trading then. The application is already running in the background, if I want to. It's automated. The problem is that it's too slow updating data and there's...

I use NinjaTrader for charting, execution and a bunch of my custom coded indicators. I use custom software because - to my knowledge - there does not exist anything off the shelf that offers what my custom software do for me.

Sounds awesome. Well done, sir! :)

It's basically a program which runs on my computer. I can't chop it up and just send you parts. But I appreciate the offer. Really. :)

Can it be more obvious? I already said speed is of essence. If you ever day traded, you know that it's key to be able to act fast on new information. Obviously, if my way of retrieving new information is slower than it can be, I'm at a disadvantage. Already did that and went from a nearly...

Day trading. ES (S&P 500) futures. Long and short. Cool. The problem is the latter part. I understand that someone won't start programming my stuff unless they feel it's worthwhile for them to do so. On the other hand, I don't want to go around pitching my strategies and selling the shop...

That's certainly ideal. And yes, I share your concerns... Thanks, but I'm not ready to proceed quite yet. Current application is written in C#. Data is stored in an SQL DB. Excel is used as a front-end. My charting platform is NinjaTrader, but my application works completely independent of...

Thanks. Oh, I wasn't aware they charged that. Anyway, 200$ isn't a big deal. Well, QCollector seems to upload data instantly. But it's the calculation steps inside my application which is the problem. For one, I suspect it's re-calculating a lot of stuff on subsequent updates that should not...
