Here is the TradeStation code if anyone is interested. I am getting similar results to mcshort so I assume that I got the code right for the most part. If there are any errors, please feel free to point them out and I can repost it. I will also post the trades since Jan 2000 for SPY and QQQ...

I would guess that its something in the session settings in the GS for the new ticker. I had to manually enter the sessions when I added the new tickers since they were not compatible with the built in settings for Esignal symbols. When I first loaded some bond data it was plotting 9:30-16:15...

I have not used the IB TWS version. You can only run one version at a time, so I am running the version for IQFeed now. One thing I found out when I switched from Esignal to IQFeed was that my old continuous contract symbols from Esignal caused the server to crash. I would get that...

None of my built in indicators plotted the DMI (DX), but it is built in as a function. The DMI indicator that comes with 2000i plots the DM lines and the ADX, but not the DX. You can easily modify this by changing the code in the PowerEditor. Just add: Plot4(DMI(Length), "DX"); to the...

I have been using a free alternative from Hypertrader. It works just as well as dynastore and much better than metaserver imo...and I have used all of them. It supports many quote feeds, including Qcharts. They also have a history downloader for historical data collection, all free.

JD, If its scaling that is causing the difference, then there is a serious problem. That means the crosses are purely random as they are not based on any calculation relationship between the indicators, but rather how the software plotted them on the chart. Since we all seem to be...

I use TradeStation, and it has an option to keep the indicators from updating on each tick. Any system that I test that uses an indicator always enters on the close of the bar so that the indicator reading it is based on is "final" for that bar. It is the only way to get a realistic idea of...

izeickl I think that it is unfair to make that statement. No one is on a witchhunt against forex. I mean, what would the motive be? A few years ago I spent a lot of time researching forex and came to the same conclusion that marketsurfer did...all without anyone on ET's "witchhunt" agenda...

FWIW I emailed Speedtrader and asked how the software is calculating their ADX. So far no reply, but I will post it if they get back to me.

inandlong, nyc is using a 15 period setting for everything

Stok, Yeah, in that formula you gave, the *100 won't really matter except for where the decimal is. The absolute value is used to keep the values above zero. If you plot the one without the absolute value, you will get a line that fluctuates around zero. nyc's DX line does not go negative...

If you are referring to automation then NT will work with several platforms (TradeStation included) by reading files created by those applications. I have not done it, only read through the documentation. However, there is quite a bit of coding to handle it, and after looking at it I am still...

simstimlord, (just kidding :) ) I also noticed the difference in bar label, but I think that is just a difference in how the software displays the time lables and not in the data itself. If you look closely, the price bars are identical except for a few that differ on the close by 1 cent...

And here is my chart...

If anyone wants to discuss other ways to use ADX/DMI then that is fine. For the sake of the current discussion I wanted to see if I could duplicate nyc's indicator so that we could be comparing apples to apples. It has always interested me how much reliance many traders put on an indicator...

I don't think he meant that in the absolute sense, but rather that nyc's ADX is actually DX. Which is correct. I am working on the TS code for it (the built in version of DMI does not plot the actual DMI (DX) (only the DM+/- and ADX). I am running into a few problems in the calculation...

This may have already been posted and I missed it...if so I apologize. A friend of mine told me about this and it has made getting historical data from Esignal into TS much easier. I was using third party software to select and download the historical data that I needed, but now Esignal has...

What data vendor are you using? If you use Esignal, you can create the symbol "ES #F" in the Global Server and it will pull the continuous contract that Esignal provides.

Thanks JM, much clearer now.

Jeanmichel, Thanks for taking the time to clarify your method. I do have a couple of questions about it that maybe you can explain. I think I understood you to say that the geen lines on the ADX pane of your chart are set at 20 and 30. But it looks like 2 of your entries are occuring on...
