    Automated Trading - FAQs

    There are bad examples of deduction in science when theory and hypothesis are formulated first and if the observations do not fit the theory then instead of discarding the theory the data is being made it fit or simply ignored. This applies to trading as well other than trading is hardly...

    New look of ET

    I am getting used to new ET board. ET should get credit for hard work and modern design. Yes it takes me a bit longer to scan message board (my initial impression; maybe I will take a note and click on ads because of that) and I would prefer to have recent posts "static" meaning that after...

    Statistical Analysis of Candlesticks patterns

    This is what I was trying to point out: big Greens do not show the same characteristics as big Reds probably because this chart is in 45 degrees uptrend. You would have to check this on something that is in downtrend and also include other chart patterns for confirmation. I was thinking it is R...

    Statistical Analysis of Candlesticks patterns

    Choosing number of clusters is an art not science. You can just "walk" down from highest number (arbitrary choice, max would be number of samples of course) to lowest and see which looks best. Another way to check this is to use test; for example total within sum of squares for centroids or...

    use c++ dll with char for OMEGA RESEARCH PROSUITE 2000i

    string literal "text" is const char[5] (4 + '\0') or you can try const char* as function argument and then pass string literals and deal with array size passing another argument or checking for end of const char array ('\0')

    New look of ET

    New look is sleek and modern but misses the point. It is more time consuming and frustrating to scan messages because one can see only 15 per page with more unnecessary information and lots of blank spaces (nice clutter but still not adding anything of value). In the end it is less attractive...

    Having Issue with NxCore C++ Program ran with WINE

    I did some quick web search for "unimplemented function" with or without msvcr90.dll and it seems that many people have similar problems for various dlls.
