another way to chart sectors. Nice for those who are more inclined to pictures than raw numbers, like me ... http://www.visualtrader.com/3dview.htm

Attached png is a screen-shot of a program I've written to follow sector and instrument movement based on something that follows the point&figure idea. As can be seen, the program considers precious metals and semiconductors to be relatively oversold. The <=> in front of each sector show...

I would believe that the movement of components ultimately move the sector. You suggest that first the sector moves (relative to other sectors), and then the components. Or is there something I misunderstood? In your other explanation on your method you mention volume, rate-of-change and...

Does this mean I could use this on end-of-day data as well? If it's "timeless", this should work as well, with equilibrum is "met within a short period of time" of my selected timeframe. Thanks for a clarification. Maybe we can invite Mr. Chen to join the discussion? agrau

thanks, easyguru, will try this over the weekend. Best, agrau

For speed, I'd through in a BufferedStream and a hand-rolled number parser if you are sure about the decimal sign, otherwise localization-checks kick in every time. Also, depending on the field separator and the number of fields, rolling you own split with indexOf is a big gainer, because it...

Thanks for sharing. One question though: The close values of what? Taking for granted that we talk about some sort of a sector index, which one would that be? Or, better asked, what computational and weighting method should be used: cap-weighted vs. equal weighted. arithmetic vs. geometric...

Maybe I just have not found it yet, but is there a RSS available for ET? TIA, agrau

My question is about finding a data provider for EOD stock data who delivers either in ASCII, a documented binary format or using an API, so I can download the data onto a Unix box. Most data providers I have found so far have a Microsoft Windows program as only mechanism, and this is not an...

If you only look at speed, most programmers go for simple flat files, often binary files for speed and space. See here as well http://www.turtletradingsoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=980 If you need a database for reasons like querying and searching within your data, Aberdeen Group has...

There are actually many possible problems that give unclear jar loading messages. Don't have any empty linei in your manifest file. But: Add at least one final empty line to your manifest. Or better yet a couple of empty lines. Don't add ".class" at the end of the Main-Class line. It's...

No, it's not Verisign. VRSN is just one of many registrars nominated by a NIC who received authority from the IETF (IANA to be more precise, based at ICANN). Boy you are clueless about what you are talking. Why don't you simply stop making a fool of yourself?

When I take my IP adress and ask whois(1), I get an authorative ripe country FR (France) When I take the IP adress of elitetrader.com, I get ripe country US. I have not meant to say that you can not have any IP adress around the world, but for each public IP adress (not those hidden on an...

Are you sure? I'd love to see where you have this information from, NIC and MAC adresses being the same thing. Thanks, agrau

I believe it's just your IP adress. Napster knows it and does a thing called "reverse name lookup" to see where the domain you belong to is physically located. If I happen to be right about this, find some provider that allows anonymous surfing and is located in the US. This provider will...

"contortionist" - thanks for a new word. Other than this, you leave me helpless. There is more than one kernel available under the GNU license, and people DO use "Linux" to differentiate from eg. "HURD "or "Mach" when talking about kernels. Maybe you have not heard of them, but there...

Sorry, nononsense, but you mistake Linux by Linux . :D As a matter of fact, Linux is a registered trademark by Linus Torvalds and Linux is nothing more than the operating system's kernel. It has no shell. Maybe Richard Stallman explains this better, than I could probably do. (From...

You can not program in Linux. Linux is an operating system. Window is a, well, ... sort of a hole in the wall to look inside other people's bedrooms. Microsoft is a company that often take other people's concepts and put their brand on it. In the case of Microsoft Windows, they looked at the...

Difficult to reply to these type of questions. I run a Linux/GNU box mainly for Java stuff. And I would not go to Microsoft products unless I am paid for doing so. Talking about perrformance, even if you don't know what you are doing, Linux is much faster than any MS operating system. If you...

I need to read Quotes Plus data into a Java application and wonder if anybody has already done so. Using Jacob ( http://danadler.com/jacob/ ) it shouldn't be too difficult, but who knows? Thanks for any help or pointers in this direction, agrau
