I put it in TS 8 and got short signals. Is this TS 2000i code? Sorry I can't help; fine on my end.

A remote tangent to the thread title........... Does QCharts offer continuous futures yet? When I left them about nine months ago they did not, and that was one of the big reasons for my switch.

I'm not as experienced as many here with the intraday intricacies of the indexes, but I've noticed the same thing. I started going to the gym at 10:00 pst and getting back at 11:30 so I would miss the slow time. It used to be that trends would pick back up at 11:30, but that cycle has seemed...

Wow..... How long did it take you to write three parapraphs in jackass-ese? It took me about four minutes to read it. Shouldn't this be in chit-chat, or did I lose something when translating that into english? All I can say is wow.........

Very true Harry. There is a choice between economic freedom and equality. I'd choose freedom. I am originally from a poor rural town. Most people from larger cities don't realize how those on welfare systems operate. I know young women who have purposely had another child to increase their...

Saying that moving average crossover systems don't work is utter nonsense. Crossover systems with out filters may not work well, but creative systems can work very well. It is heavily dependant on the markets traded however. But trending markets like currencies can be traded well with MA...

What are you trading? If you need pit futures, I hear Open e-Cry is very good. I have never used them, but I have talked to one of their brokers before when I was thinking about going to a broker which offered pit contracts. I hear good things and their commissions are fairly competitive...

What are some options software available that will give me the greeks? My options knowledge base is very small, but I want to look at the feasability of hedging some positions with options and need to look at the different parameters of the contract. I have Tradestation, but I don't want to...

How about IB? Theyr'e an international broker with good rates.

Well, I said the transmission (programming language) was better because of the power versus the ease of use. However, I said nothing about the engine (testing capabilities). The TH 400 is easier regardless of whether you're using 600 hp or 57 hp. I hope I havn't taken this analogy too...

It's $650, but you have to buy the data, which comes to about $100 through Esignal for me. Also, I have a special deal for $125 + fees through Tradestation. So the difference is about $50 per month between Tradestation and Esignal/Wealthlab. The difference in costs is irrelevant if you...

This is why I choose Tradestation. How does Esignal's language and power compare to Tradestation and Wealthlab? Is it comparable enough to make it worth my trouble to take a trial subscription?

Actually I was referring to the smallest denominated paper money. For instance, is the lowest Won a one Won bill, or is it a 5000 Won bill? Yen would be more than cheap enough, but the lowest bill is 500 yen I think.

I tend to have the exact opposite problem: I place my stops too close. I'd always heard the saying "learn to love small losses." I guess I got that too ingrained in my head. I simply look for the nearest strong support/resistance point on a 30 min chart and place the stop a few ticks beyond...

My father wants to fill the trunk of his car with playmoney (he's become strange in his old age......I don't even ask anymore). I started to think about it and it occured to me that play money would be relatively expensive. A stack of 100 bills will likely sell for $2 or more, making each bill...

I'm not a daytrader; the only daytrades I execute are when my stop gets hit the same day....... But it seems to me that daytrading systems are short-lived. I am constantly reading posts here regarding losing the "edge" or when to toss a system that has stopped working. Trend following systems...

Obviously you could access your email through your mobile (phone, PDA, or whatever you have). GFT has a mobile trading platform for Pocket PCs. I hear bad things about them as a brokerage, however.

Aberration is a long term system that has a record since the early 1990's I believe. Check out Futures Truth Magazine. http://www.trade-system.com/ Daytrading systems tend to lose their edge after a few years usually (at least the ones I've seen do), especially S&P systems. The long term...

If it's not new knowledge and it's a good system, you can sell it pretty easily. Especially if you're trading something better, why wouldn't you sell it. It's not your best system and it's not new knowledge, so what's so wrong with selling it? Think about all the money to be made releasing...

Spot on.... What most here seem to forget is trading is a business. Why would Tradestation make software for easy system development when the vast majority of traders have no knowledge in real programming? Why does GM make cars that go fast? Why does Anheiser-Busch make Budweiser? The...
