Just found this little gem for Java programmers. It's the source to reading native Metastock data files, i.e. the binary data (as opposed to the ASCII files in Metastock format). http://www.turtletradingsoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=742 Maybe it's useful to some of you. Best, agrau

Harry: You forgot to give the source of this interesting article (James B. Elliott, PE, CQE on http://www.1stnclass.com/risk_analysis.htm) - if you forget, people might think this excellent summary is yours.

How true - harry throws a lot of (mostly interesting) stuff around but leaves when it comes to conclusions. Found on the web (http://www.neurosemantics.com/Articles/Brains_101.htm): "Did I mention that brains are stupid? At least in one sense they are very stupid, in the aspect of...

Absolute agreement from my side. I, too, pay for my software. If the software is good, I pay. But remember how this all started on the thread: Foz asked if someone has a free WL license s/he would like to sell. Which is, imho, absolutely possible and by no means a constructed situation. Now...

I was merely replying to Volker's statement " The license is per user and can not be transfered. " - and he should know, as he seems to be a partner/shareholder of Wealth-Lab Inc. (reference: http://www.vtad.net/mjoin_vorstand.html) VTAD, "Verband Technischer Analysten Deutschlands", should...

You are making some heavy assumptions here: - makes perfect sense (to whom ?) - each new user (really "each" ?) - is reasonably priced (according to whom ?) - offers features ... (so what ?) Regarding the licensing, I might add my view: The view that a licence it neither re-sellable, nor...

Probably a little late, my comment, but here it goes anyway. A couple of month ago TASC published an article on a indicator called "Finite Volume Elements". People noticed, it has a big look-alike to TSV, so depending on what exactly you are trying to do, maybe a look in this direction will...

Depending on what you need, I suggest to take a look at QuoteMonster at http://xmlworks.com/quotemonster/ which comes either as a Perl script or a Java app and lets you download historical price quotes from Yahoo!. I would prefer a solution like that over right-clicking, Save as ... orgies. But...

Thanks so far for the responeses! ET truly is a great place to meet people and get help. ramora: Thx for your pointer, but I feel I have not made myself clear enough. It's that I need the charting capabilities in my own application, ie. I need the components to build upon myself...

I plan to do some vey basic charting of historical EOD data in a Java app I am currently writing and look for hints as to which open-source package is the best to use. By best I mean: - few (if any) dependencies on other packages - memory and filesize footprint The packages I found on...

Though not a standalone program that you can install on your own harddisk, both Chartcraft and Dorsey Wright Associates (DWA) work heavilily with point&figure based sector views. Both have quite some learning material on their sites to explain the ideas. The books from Thomas Dorsey are also...

Gee, Harry, how do you come up with all this stuff all the time? Measuring band to cup size of you brain (http://www.pumpstation.com/frmBraSize-1.cfm) you must have a 12-ZZZ (12-True-Brain - ZZZ-Show-Brain). I meant to express your ratio of own-invented (12) stuff to copy-&-pasted (ZZZ) noise...

If I remember this right, this stuff has originally been published by Mel Widner in 1996 in a TASC article called "Gauging Price Mobility" or something like that. Your favorite google or www.traders.com will help you out with more info on this. I believe the article once was offered for free as...

With Linux getting more and more serious in the overall business world, I wonder if this applies to trading as well. I would love to hear your experiences using Linux as your main operating system and the software you use. Maybe if it's some MS Windows software under wine or vmware, this would...

Ralf, personally, I don't use price targets altogether. The formulae available for p&f price estimations have proved more often wrong than right during my tests. I see the logic behind (the longer it took to breakout, the stronger the move - or something like this) but there's more to...

Ralf, I am a complete TS illiterate, thus I don't understand your snippet but it leaves me wondering if you are testing p&f. Although p&f is most useful in detecting breakouts, it goes beyond this. A frequently used term in p&f is that it shows "the battle between supply and demand" which is...

You've mentioned you are struggling a bit. That's fine and you are not alone. But it may help if you could describe at which part you are struggling: - scaling methodology (Traditional, Chartcraft, Log/Percent, volatility based ...) - reversal method (fixed number, vola based) - pattern...

Ramoutar, I've had a similar problem recently. Everything was running fine, but "suddenly" the Windows Installer messages showed up. It turned out to be caused by some trial software (Mindsoft's MindManager, in my case) I have installed and later removed using their uninstall script. It seems...

I was alway bad in logic, could you help me out with the opposite of "truth lovers" Would this be: a) truth haters or b) falsehood lovers ? I am just wondering what kind of people you call friends. Sorry, couldn't resist ... :p A+, agrau
