Thank you for the reminder about briefing.com. Haven't been there in a coon's age. I think they pissed me off for some reason. Terrible being old. Can't dismember why. The wife asks "What did you do this morning?" "Damnfino. Obviously I didn't die." The main reason your simple code mayn't be...

A priceless allusion! Thanks.

OK, dickhead, I cannot count the number of times I have resisted the impulse to put your sorry pimply ass on ignore. But just as I am ready to do it you say something semi-intelligent. Tonight you timed out. You will never aggoravate me again. Sweet relief. Like taking a badly needed shit.

Shit, man! When you are as old as I am and with incipient Alzheimer's, all data looks delayed by the time you figure out what it means. Like the AAPL news. Very clever. Announce that Jobs is dying on a holiday. AAPL tanks. Then announce record earnings the next day. Pricks! Betcha some...

Or as Bill Cosby said, "First you say it, and then you do it." God, I wish I could get excited about trading again! I never realized how unutterably dull it would be! Not at all what I imagined when I was a wage slave. I see nothing to excite me about 11. My codes are set up to see things...

In 10.6, even though I do not subscribe to Comex data, I can still chart GC (gold) end-of-day. When I try that in 11 it says "not entitled!" Ditto for CL (crude).

Here is a perfect example of how they took something trivially simple in 10.6 and fucked it up. In 10.6 if I squeeze a chart down as small as it will go, I still see in the title bar the symbol being charted. In 11, all I see is "Chart". I KNOW it's a fucking chart! If I have a whole bunch of...

The South is the last bastion in America of the spirit of the Revolution. The rest of the country has gone pinko commie queer.

Thanks for expressing your concern. Most of the kvetching by users in buried out-of-sight in the ESignal user forum. I intend to keep this issue alive in the broader venue of ET to keep the pressure on.

One hopes they are aware that they deleted an EFS function from 11: playSound(). It's not in the new function glossary. And, oh, yes, they are continuing to support 10.6? Try to find the reference materials for it. I could only find those for 11. I ran a relatively simple script today on a...

No doubt they will. But my view is that their objective is to make 11 easy to use for casual users at the expense of the kind of flexibilty 10.6 now gives serious (albeit retail) traders. That concern is why I am bitching so vociferously. I do not want to leave ESignal. But I will if they leave...

Hahahahahahahahaha! I had my full-up system running in 11, all good code that works like a hose in 10.6, waiting for the start of the Sunday evening futures session. It choked, puked and shut down. Reloaded it. Same.

Ah, thank you for that concise cogent summary. I will offer a wholly personal view on that approach. I have found in my own practice that the statistical validity of a tested hypothesis works better in live testing if you do the following: form the hypothesis based on apparent repeated...

Here's another good one. You can only backtest a strategy that is loaded onto a chart as a study, unlike 10.6, which will test from a list of all scripts.

"Say something nice to the girl." "She backtests a 115 line strategy on 120 days of a one-minute chart over two times faster than 10.6." That's the good news. The bad news is that the answer is wrong.

If Harris doesn't backtest, how does he determine lost stops and profit targets?

Well, I am verifiably a feeble-minded old fool, but I quickly scanned your reference, and I don't understand why conventional backtesting does not qualify as scientific method. You hypothesize. You run experiments (backtesting). You modify your hypothesis. Repeat. And home in on a codified...

The settings on the backtest don't stick from one backtest of the same strategy to the next, or from backtesting one strategy to another. Another PIA. I'm done. Not looking at it again until the next release.

When I create a new script and save it, it doesn't automatically resort alphabetically as in 10.6, it goes to the top of the file list and you have to resort.

There is no "Save As option" in the script editor. Another pain in the ass. I don't want to cut and paste an existing script to make a related new script.
