www.rinafinancial.com pretty much exclusively for those who are a) committed to system trading and b) well enough funded to shell out for some pretty expensive software. they also operate the www.tradestationzone.com website THE REAL HOLY GRAIL, an anthology that you can find...

Twas, January 5, 2000, two splits and a whole lotta other stuff ago... Even on today's charts, it looks pretty darn dramatic - opens at 37.5, low at 33, close at 42.5... but in those days it was a 40 pt intraday range... I'd been position-trading (back in those days, we sent in our orders by...

But wouldn't the "unfair" ticks average out against each other, letting the "fair" ones, or in any event the general direction, shine through, overall? I mean, we all know it's a blunt instrument... Though I know that many experienced traders ignore the Nasdaq Tick, consider it useless or...

Well, as a linguist once famously said, the definition of a word is another word. Or as Alice asked (maybe someone has the exact wording), "Why doesn't it mean what I want it to mean?" In these discussions, "system" or "mechanical" suggests a completely rule-based approach, which, once...

My intuition tells me that "several hundred thousand times more powerful" is a bit of a leap. The other (pathetically weak?) side of my mind tells me that such a quantitative comparison is rather meaningless. What defines or could possibly define power in such an equation? That if logic can...

Just was chewing it over, not that hard. I think this is what you want (as indicator): _____________________________________________ {GET VIRTUAL DAILY STOCHASTIC DURING INTRADAY TIME FRAME, USING TWO DATA STREAMS. SET UP INTRADAY AS DATA1, DAILY AS DATA2} INPUTS...

sounds like even 130 wouldn't be enough, depending on how things are written... In some cases, having a maxbarsback setting that high may not be desirable... Might be a reason to use one of the other methods of getting the day's high or low - in this instance, where you set a variable...

didn't finish previous post: included indicators that use multiple data streams include MARKET THRUST and SPREAD...

Frankly, never noticed the highd function before! Should work fine... However, I do think many would prefer to use a buy stop rather than a buy on close order, as in: BUY NEXT BAR HIGHD(1) STOP; That way, regardless of what time compression you're using, the signal will be produced "as...

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're trying to say... But the previous signal (mostly) works (some odd probem with first instance that I don't have time to check right now) written for multiple data streams like this: {BUT AT PREVIOUS DAY HIGH} VARS: PDHIGH(0); IF TIME =...

There are lots of different ways to do this. Let's presume, for simplicity's sake, that you're just trading equities: VARS: PDHIGH(0); {IN CASE YOU WANT TO BUY ON FIRST BAR OF NEXT DAY} IF TIME = SESS1ENDTIME THEN begin PDHIGH = IDHIGH; BUY NEXT BAR AT PDHIGH STOP; End; {FOR...

Lippi, Look in the EASYLANGUAGE REFERENCE GUIDE (on-line or get the real book) index under "Data Streams, referencing."

TraderC may have gotten confused while using an earlier "build" of the platform, under a prior pricing structure, or he may have encountered an unhelpful customer service rep., or his judgment may be clouded by his emotional reaction to the events he's described (including the 1-month period...

Geez... Frankly, if I noticed a broker or vendor overcharged me $100, and promised to take care of it, I'd check back maybe around the time of my next statement to be sure it had actually been taken care of. If it hadn't been, I might give a call, wait and see, and so on - but to bombard a...

Well, I always tell people to play around with TS and not try to make it work "just like" other trading software. I've been using the platform since it was first available, and was a user of TS 2000i before then - and I'm still figuring new ways to set up and format workspaces, and am, of...

If anyone could do it, SKT would be the one, but I just don't think it can be done in the platform for equities or futures, though Bid/Ask data is collected and modeled for options in OptionStation. I don't believe the bids and asks are collected as such for regular stock and futures charting...

just type it in the ACTIVE chart window (i.e., click on chart window, type "global [SYMBOL]" will update all charts in workspace... if multiple symbols in chart, will update the one in datastream #1

Sounds completely intolerable - not to mention weird and ridiculous.

two things to consider - 1) I've said it elsewhere, but I'll say it again here: If you scale in or out AT ALL (and if you don't, why don't you?), then the ticket charges add up fast, and per/share pricing turns into a much better deal; 2) If you prefer ticket pricing, and want to use TS...
