Hey 5pillars, Im sure you must think I stalk you from thread to thread trying to get you into trouble :-) Lorenzo thanks for sharing the charts, I'm certainly not trying to be critical of you or Sierra forgive me if that's how it came across.....I guess I should take it for a test drive it's...

You might find this interesting :- http://forums.neoticker.com/showthread.php?t=984 A persuasive argument for range bars (though I am not sure I completely agree with all the points). I like constant volume though I am fond of 'regular' I fond constan range the hardest to get along with...

Yes, Check out tradestation forums there is pretty much everything you might need for volume@bid and volume@ask (delta) type analysis. Cheers, Nick

Good luck to you for Monday! To be honest I dont think I would ever trust an automated system unattanded (not that you suggested un attended). Perhaps if the computer running the whole show was in some triple redundant data centre. Cheers, Nick

Seeing as the OP has not come back perhaps I can take a turn on the couch. My bigest issue is closing postions for no good reason (except that they are not ticking in my favour right now!) I guess its another mainfestation of fear. Though I am pretty sure its not fear of financial loss. I think...

Place a pair of stops in a bracket just outside each side of the range have fun guessing which one is going to trigger. If one hits and there is no follow through (sharply rising volume, momentum builds, spike in delta, wide bar etc.) reverse right there and then. You will probably have an...

That sounds sensible though does any one have a sugestion for a hedge that can be taken through a futures broker rather than a bucketshop? Cheers, Nick

Hi, Just throwing ideas out there :-) I hear from others that drawing tools can be one of the trickier things to implement. Perhaps thats why most software makes such a lousy job of them! Cheers, nick

What would be great would bea ble to tigger entries off lines and bracket exits in a like manner. The option to enter on a line annd exit on a trailing stop (or whatever you like) would be magnificent! Not sure how the best way to achieve this Perhaps being able to attach scripts to a line...

This might not be your current focus but do you plan to have a range of drawing tools? I have to say they are implemented pretty poorly in most packages. Cheers, Nick.

Hi biilp, In answer to your two questions:- When I last used Esignal there was some script for volume and ask and volume at bid...it plotted as a red and green histogram. I think even for a not programmer it wouldn't be too hard to change it to plot how you liked. Yes I registered at...

AGAIN At least you got a bulletin I didn't :-)

Hi 5, I hope you don't think I am stalking you picking arguments! I find your posts very intresting. (How about running a thread on Delta for a while?) Anyway, I know you didn't 't ask me but I think that there is a commomn misconception that +ve delta = 'buying', I'm not sure that is the...

I quite like Tom Williams 'undeclared secrets that drive the stock market'. Its based on Wycoffs work. Its probably worth starting with Wycoff if you havent been there already. The little book he wrote under the psuedonym Rollo Tape is a good intro. DBPhoenix wrote some pretty good free stuff -...

Sounds very promising! Just to 'curve ball you a bit' maybe you'd like to think about recording market depth too (or perhaps just taking it 'real time'). I think it uses a different method to bid/ask but dosent look too complex. An intresting discussion on its uses here :-...

I'm concidering buying a license for Neoticker. I used it a couple of years ago they had some issues with data management so I left it. They are no more I understand. One of the things that I want to explore is saving every DOM tick and using the information in indicators and studies. I'm...

It would be great if it exposed and recorded the bid/ask changes too :-) Cheers, Nick

Thanks to both of you, Using previous swing highs/lows makes sense....except of course everyone knows thats exactly where all (well a huge majority) of the stops are :-) I guess one can always add a few ticks. 5 I take on board exactly what you say. I pretty well know when a trade has gone...

Hi DC, <blush> You know I didn't know that Eurex supported block trades, what a newb. Yes I am looking at the change in cumlative volume. Cheers, nick. EDIT: if you do want to filter I had a look at the Eurex site and Block trades on DAX must be >250 contracts

Hi Bill, Thanks very much for your detailed reply. Pretty much how I was doing things. Every now and then though I get into trouble. What happens is the trade dosent go my way (OK no problem there). Rather than just cut it I try and 'finess' the exit by waiting for price to come back a little...
