Could be time of year-related, I guess. I've had a number of experiences with TS tech support, and they've mostly been fine. Some have been excellent. Along with a number of other factors, such experiences have contributed to my infamously positive response to the co. and product. And it...

Well, that's not really accurate - though you'd need either to write your own apps or buy the pricey RINA systems add-ons. Makes no difference to me though one way or the other, as I've done a lot of system-trading study and experimentation, and finally decided it wasn't for me, at least at...

I'm a do-it-yourselfer, so learned EL through a combination of the following: 1) studying books like ASK MR. EL (good info, prgramming techniques, lousy attitude IMO) and USING EL 2000 (lots of useful tips and methods); 2) studying THE EL REFERENCE GUIDE (available on-line for free)...

Thought it over - came to me - I meant "global filenaming conventions." "Global Variables" is a programming term of art, though the filenaming conventions do rely on "variables," broadly (not to mention variably) defined. Don't know what came over me. End of a long week?

Old term - not sure if it's still "current," or even, come to think of it, if it's correct! I just remembered that it can mean something different for certain kinds of programming. In this case, all it means is that, while I organize the gifs in separate directories initially by month, I...

Part of daily trade review, though I confess that I'll sometimes let a day or two go by before getting caught up completely on all charts. Putting the "library" together has helped in a number of ways, not least in the development of new, complementary set-ups based upon what had been some...

...how many times have I found myself in a poorly calculated trade... short above support... long below resistance... and wished that, if ever, maybe just this once, price movement could be random, if only to give me at least a 50/50 chance of getting out unhurt...

Just posted to the ET T-shirt thread, and, as I think about it, the contradiction I was looking at - "elite" vs. "largest community" - is obvious every time you log on, and look at the number of members - even forgetting that a few hundred of those are probably just FasterPussycat... I...

It would, however, remain implicitly contradictory: presented as as an "elite" while proclaiming its status as the "largest... community." Reminds me of the old Marxist joke, if kind of in reverse: "All power to the people! All power to the people's vanguard! All power to the elite of...

You think you're the first person to apply such tests to prices in the financial markets? For many reasons, including some that have already been mentioned here, your evidence and approach are rather laughably insufficient to the conclusion you reach. You might take a look at THE...

Feel obligated to point this out, since I know you (and maybe others) are just starting out with EL... In earlier post, under examples of alternative signals, strike "MinMov(0)" from the "Var" declaration: NOT: Input: MinMove(.005); Var: MinMove(0), BBUY(0); JUST: Input...

You're welcome.... Not very complicated... Took my mind off some crappy daytrading to work that up over EST lunch... then got back into the session all refreshed, and proceeded to give back my meager morning's gains... Sheesh...

VARS: HH(0), LL(9999), PDHIGH(0), PDLOW(0), PDCLOSE(0), PIV(0); {Initialize values at beginning of day} If Date <> Date[1] then begin HH = H; LL = L; End; {Increment values} If H > HH then HH = H; If L < LL then LL = L; If TIME = SESS1ENDTIME then begin PDHIGH = HH; PDLOW...

You've been trading a lot longer than I have, I think... I wish I was good enough or confident enough to get simpler... Some day... Was just fooling around with the order bar... there is a limited toggle function for symbol entry: If you enter one symbol, then enter another in its place...

I think it should be fine - though you must mean 256MB RAM, not 256K (I guess we've both been around long enough to remember when 256k RAM was high end) - and I'm presuming you're using Win2k, NT, or XP rather than the alternatives. My machine has 512 MB RAM, but it's not the main issue for...

If you like to keep your eye on a relatively large number of tradables, and like to maintain ready access to other workspaces, and want to keep other applications open, too, you may run up against Windows "heap memory" limitations fairly soon - and get crashes or other failures. The...

They're very aware of this deficiency over in TS-land. inandlong's methods are helpful ("global [symbol]"), but, if you're using order entry, you'll still have to type the symbols into the order bar manually except when using automatic or semi-automatic signals, or when closing a position off...

I would say that he does offer novel insights, though there are some who claim that his work amounts to a dressed-up re-hash of settled theory. From the perspective of an amateur, I'd just say that the book is neat 1) very well-produced, great to look at if too fat for the average coffee table...

(brought to my attention recently by ET's own Nitro - let's hear it for Nitro!) may be the most widely read investigator of quantum consciousness theories. He also surveys research from neurobiology in partial support of his theories. SHADOWS OF THE MIND is fairly accessible, builds on his...
