Thanks. Now all is clear.

Jim Thanks 1) Confused about "the and " keys please clarify. 2) IB thanks for listening. mtzianos Forgot to mention that I had serious delays with market orders seemingly unrelated to market liquidity/conditions. Made using a 'reverse' function impossible - solved the slowness by...

mtzianos, I experience delays of maybe 5 secs in SPI. Fills seem Ok and I think it is their matching engine being slow to send confirmation maybe (but 5 secs?........). if I close out say HSI SGXNK and SPI with the same keystroke can document that SPI reports as executed 5 or so seconds...

The ability to force a reconnect if the auto reconnect fails (without shutting down and restarting) is needed.

With the standard TS2k MP you enter anything longer than 1 day it defaults to 1 day e.g you can't create a 3 day profile by entering 1260 minutes (3x420 minute sessions) or 4420 (3x1420), you just get it defaulting to the 1 day profile. If anyone knows different I am all ears.

I have a vague memory that one of these: http://www.1st-tradingtools.com/index.htm can do that but they are for TS7+ not 2000i. I am also looking for a way of doing this in TS2000i - thanks to Kiwi who posts here we can now do this with Sierra :) , but i also want to do it in TS2000i...

Hammers seem to be most reliable - think of the logic - participants are so sure they will bid aggressively to take a countertrend* position, whereas with shooting stars someone took partial profit, stops got hit, all the way up. Ultimately what they provide is quick visual recognition of...

I suggest you go back over a trend at look at how many doji's and shooting stars there were on the way up before the one at what proved to be the top that caught your attention

HSI is probably the worst, makes DAX look like a Gentleman's market. Don't let that USD 6.25/tick lull you into a false sense of security :D

On equities futures in general I tend to agree. Entering the futures in what was the direction for the last 15 minutes just as the cash opens can be a recipe for getting it wrong, but if you enter after some indication of direction when the futures open you can find out you were wrong but wrong...

The moral of the story is you should not be thinking about markets solely in terms of supply and demand or greed and fear, but more in terms of bait & switch.

Kut2K2, Thanks for reply, unfortunately it is returning results that in some cases look a bit off (e.g negative numbers). It seems that there is a workaround available in the form of a dll that will allow variables in the function, avalable here: http://forum.equis.com/viewtopic.php?t=1430...

Posted this on Metastock forum but just in case: What I want do do is get a figure for the cumulative volume between a high that would have occurred up to 1250 periods ago and a low that would have occurred no more than 250 days ago. This is what would work ((Sum(V,HHV(HIGH,1250))) -...

I found Metastock's Explorer feature to be very easy to get up and running with. For me it was very intuitive - more so than Tradestation. However I do have years of Excel behind me...................... I currently use Excel for some things like freefloat tracking and simple intraday...

They overlap but it seems better to treat each time zones trading day as a separate profile rather than treating a 24 hour day as a day.

Not much of a holiday for those who went short COIL at the close.

For me wide variety of Futures, FX and equities worldwide from one account, fast excutions. Best FX model in my view. Low commissions with no volume committment a big factor as is no platform fee. Can use Button Trader and chart real realtime data with Sierra. Other things I like are...

There can be some very predictable trades in the first hour eg a index futures market that opens 15 minutes ahead of the cash, a market opening at a pivot, others. It can also be completely the wrong time or market to do some trades e.g buying the breakout of the first 5 minute bar in a market...

Very much appreciated. Good work IB.
