    Easylanguage or general programming question

    I am creating a custom indicator and I have the "update on every tick" checked. I have many lines of code, but there is a certain portion of my code where I only want it process the very first tick of each bar. For example, process the first tick at the start of a 5 minute bar, but don't...

    very interesting. so you're saying one can either short outright or sell calls, but since options have time working against them, it is more advantageous to sell calls. but selling calls limits potential gain. so my guess is that win% improves but payoff declines. what has your experience...

    not sure if you want to explain it right now, but if your view is bearish, why do you think it's better to sell calls instead of just shorting more ES outright? going back to the troughs in RSI, do you see a higher trough at 12:40 today on 5 min ES?

    what are your parameters for the rsi? would you buy calls to establish a position or do you only do that to cover a short position? if you are willing to sell calls, then why not sell puts?

    the three higher troughs in the RSI chart is the buy signal for the long grail? what are the cover calls and sell calls pointing out?

    I can Steal your Edge, I am serious

    i didn't like mortal combat that much. fatalities were nice to watch, but the characters just weren't responsive. what made SFII so good was the timing and distance control that you had to master with each character, and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each character.

    I can Steal your Edge, I am serious

    lol this is funny because i used to play as well. the strongest characters were definitely guile and ryu. ken became weak when SFII Championship was released because his uppercut wouldn't knock the opponent to the ground. his helicopter kick, although faster, also lacked "flooring" power. if...
