Does anyone know of a FREE website or minimal cost freeware(under$40) that scanners the entire market for stocks with certain technical setups? Something similiar to TC2000 using end-of-day data is fine. Intraday would be great, but that's asking too much from a free website. thanks...

the_dude: No, it's not like that. There are certain looks technical patterns that works more often than others. And I shouldn't take a shot at something that doesn't work as well. It's all about odds. Of course, no one is 100% sure of anything in the market. We only work with odds...

"Could anyone explain why someone would spend 200$ a month for using a software that he/she can buy for 500$ and gets features that no other software has? vk" I'm wondering that myself!!! That's why I'm considering cancelling TS6!! Supposedly, TS6 does all the data management stuff for...

Shortee: .15 is a reasonable stop loss. But the thing is I have that mentally. And sometimes on my eventual winning trades, I cut before teh 15 cents limit then the position would totally go my way. And on losing trades, I bust my .15 limit and sometimes take a big hit that's like .40-.60...

Magna: Yeah! In fact, early during the day, I actually WENT LONG and make some decent $$. From the open to about around 10:10am EST. Only then did I start to short, which may have been a little "early", because it wasn't really crashing so I got out of my shorts too soon though I still made...

hey guys! Today was pretty decent for me too! Raking in some dough! But it could have been major $$ had I hold on longer. What do you guys do to make yourself hold longer?? I mean how about those pullbacks(rallies in today's case)? Do you just ignore those and just hold until the close...

I'm an old subcriber to TS6 and so I got the old rates on TS6. Not the new ridiculous $795/month. So, if any of you want to split or share the cost with me and use my username for TS6 at a substantial discount of only $200/month then please let me know. Since, I don't use TS6 all the...

Funster: I agree with you. I don't think it's worth it to get the exact numbers. As long as it's in oversold/overbought area that's all you need to know. But as you pointed out, oscillators are fickle. I always use it in conjunction with other things.. thanks anyways, trader99

Funster: Actually, I decide to do one little change to teh code: I changed: from original code: inputs: Price( Close ), to new code: inputs: Price( High ), But I'm still NOT able to replicate the RSI=100 that I saw in real-time on my trading platform at the beginning of...

Funster wrote: "Probably the simple answer is to (eg for RSI) plot 2 RSI indicators on top of each other. Instead of the CLOSE plot one with the HIGH and plot the other with the LOW. Then you can see if your signal levels are hit intra-bar. Alternatively the following converted indicator...

Well, I'm relatively new to this entire proprietary trading business. But I'm not new to the securities/investment since I was on the institutional side previously. However, I have noticed there has been some rather irksome outages(net down) and software execution slowness at times at my firm...

Funster: I'm just using the standard TS6 indicators: 1) RSI(9) 2) MACD(9,18) 3) 2 MAs that's it. I don't have any custom code. But I suppose you answered the real question by saying that TS6 uses a different values(perhaps close??) to calculate these values. And what I see in...

Funster: Thanks for answering my question. You wrote:"In an indicator rather than plot it as a "point" in "Chart Style" you can plot the 2 data points as "Bar High" and Bar Low" respectively. That way you get a vertical line representing the range for each bar. " I know sure how you...

dvegadvol: Thanks! That definitely solves a big mystery. Because I think in real-time, the RSI or other technical indicators are updated in real-time, whereas when I go home and see in on TS6 it's the CLOSE! whew! I thought there was soemthign seriously wrong here.. But however, it...

nitro, OK. I understand your point and example. But here's my problem has a twist or maybe more subtle unless I'm missing something here(??). On some days, I swear i saw the RSI on the 1min and 5min to be 100 while I'm daytrading on my platform. But at the end of the day, when I go...

connoer: "I haven't used the software yet, but your statement about only being able to look back 1 day disturbs me. Do I understand you correctly that you can only get say a 5 minute bar back for the previous day, not say 5 days worth of 5 minute bars? Or 5 days of 1 hour bars?" No!! Ts6...

CHuckT: I got a question about eSignal. Currently, I'm using Tradestation 6 and it doesn't ahve this functionality. If the latest ver of eSignal has it then I'm more than ready to switch over. And I was wondering if you guys can do "partial graphs"? Let's say you want to see the...
