    Calculating Correlation with Excel

    The challenge will be to align the price series so that you can measure the correlation. If it's daily bars that you are correlating, that task shouldn't be too difficult. But if you are using intraday data, make sure that the dates and times line up on the same row. You can then use the...

    Prop Firm Structure and Earnings Tax Treatment

    I'd guess that of the many prop traders that frequent these boards, the vast majority are not trading futures through their prop firm. Of that few, probably a small fraction are Schony prop futures traders. I understand the question you are asking, but I have only guesses about the tax...

    Don's Openings, Part 5

    Yep. It appears that it hasn't been updated for a few days. Sometimes browsers will store older versions of webpages and fail to refresh them, but even after refreshing the page and dumping the buffer, it still seems to be Nov 27th. Maybe they took a long Thanksgiving vacation....:D

    Any traders in the Denver Metro area?

    I'm from Fort Collins, which is about 1 hour north. There's a pretty active group of about 20 that meets up here twice monthly. We meet at a bar, talk trading, pore over charts and trading strategies, eat, and drink beer for about three hours on Tuesday nights. :) Denver used to have a SIG...

    Vegas hotels-help

    I went to Vegas last month and stayed at Arizona Charlie's East for a week. For $39 a night (Sun to Thurs), it was hard to beat. Rooms were in very good shape with living room, bedroom, & walk in closet. I worked from the room every morning until lunch. No problems. It is east of the...

    Metastock vs Tradestation

    over_invested, I'm just curious, does the new v8 allow stops or limit orders? My last version of MS was Pro 7.03. I love the speed, charting, and scanning capabilities, but I've used TS2000i for the last two years for its testing and programming features. Thanks for any info!

    Over-use of Quote feature

    I completely agree. I think that editing the quote, just like a courtesy when replying to emails, makes a lot of sense. That way, the thought is continued, especially when the thread starts to move off topic as so often happens in the very popular threads.

    Excel Macro?

    Eurobum, I thought there was a tag that you could use in your QLink command.... QLink|Bars!'5,10,DTOHLC,REVERSE' or something like that, but I cannot find any reference to it. You don't mention whether you are proficient in programming in VBA. There are numerous solutions doing it that...

    Speed up TradeStation

    TS4 was really slow. TS2000i runs a bit quicker. I'd hope that TS6 is slightly faster still. Yes, optimizations are really slow. Compared to other software packages, it's painful to watch TS run through any size optimization. I've compared the same optimization on a 1.9G machine w/ 512M RAM...

    My dog Shreddy got run over by a car and I can't sleep

    nitro, that's great news! It's amazing what those little buggers can show us about courage and determination. My wife and I have three million dollar pets: two dogs and one cat. All are adopted, all started out with us as real bargains..."financially." Now, many years later, through...

    OK, then the Metastock equivalent is HHV(C,5) for your example above.

    easy language question

    I think you are looking at the equivalent of the EasyLanguage MaxList() function. You can compare any two values/points in a price series or variables. I don't know the Metastock equivalent off the top of my head--Maximum()? to compare two price series; I fear it may not exist if you want to...

    Is Tradestation worth getting?

    AAAintheBeltway, GS doesn't have to be restarted. The most I've had to do on very rare occasions is restart my Dynastore program which is small and launches quickly. I have to do that because I run my server lookups = FALSE, which means I won't allow QCharts to go hunting for a new server...
