Ok, thank you for explaining it further. Perhaps you can post a method for trading it that is not proprietary.

Ok, thanks, but I figured that part out on my own... I mean, how are they generated and how are you using them in conjunction with your forcasts?

I didn't say you had to prove anything before hand or be 100% correct...just realtime analysis. All I meant was when you get a buy/sell signal, make a post...when it hits your target/stop, make a post. Simple as that and shows a more realistic idea of what someone could expect in realtime...

abhay, I have to agree with your detractors that doing "after the fact" analysis is very easy to do, no matter what the original forcast was because there are a million reasons why you would or wouldn't have taken a trade. Rather than just giving a list of indicators to use for entry, I...

For those of you with TradeStation, here is a PaintBar that will plot the bar red when the sell signal is in effect and blue when the buy signal is in effect. Just be aware that it plots any occurance of ADX > the DM's and not just on a new cross, so not all plots would be valid trade signals...

I have 3 monitors on 2 cards. There have been a couple of threads dealing with the problems and their solutions posted within the last few months. Just do a search for multi-monitor or matrox or something like that.

If you plan to use VBA in your sheets, a great book is "Excel 2002 Power Programming with VBA" by John Walkenbach. He also has some basic books for Excel too.

I didn't see a PDT petition on that site, but while I was there I signed the "Put The Star Wars Kid in Episode III" petition. If there ever was a deserving petition, its that one...

He also exits on the close. In the code above you would be holding overnight if neither stop or target is hit by the close. Also, divergence is a very subjective thing. I have yet to see code for divergence that I thought represented what I believed to be divergence 100% of the time in real...

Great thread no_pm. In this last trade, the problem with using the ES data showed again. I did not have divergence in the ES. So, for kicks I looked at the SPY to see what that chart looked like. I do show divergence there. I have not looked back at previous trades to see if the SPY shows...

...just don't pay any attention to the ads... Good post AAA. And good luck to you Mortimer...its a long hard journey, but well worth it.

I run Esignal on 3 monitors (a GeForce3 and a Matrox G450 card)and don't have any problems with charts freezing. The only data hangups I get are when I have quotes filtered for an exchange (like IBM=N). That data never seems to be right for me, but otherwise its usually fine.

Closed per author request.

Just a note: I moved this thread to the Journals forum since its a closer fit there.

One big disadvantage for me with forex is that since it trades 24 hours I would like a way to automate my stops without giving them to the broker. The only broker I have found that will allow for a connection to their system is FXCM, but they charge you for the software and then an extra $10...

I don't think this is the case with the spot broker model. You trade against them (they are the counter party, not Joe Blow out in cyberspace), so its not the same as a normal broker relationship. If too many people succeeded then they would be losing money. The odds are against most newbies...

Satyrican, While your basic premise that supply and demand determine value is true as an economic principle, you are leaving out the assumptions economists make to reach that conclusion, namely that the attributes of the product are well known and there is plenty of liquidity. Take your...

FishSauce almost got it... Sub TheresAnOintmentForThat() Temp = Range("A1").Value Letter = Range("B1").Value Count = 0 For i = 1 To Len(Temp) If Mid(Temp, i, 1) = Letter Then Count = Count + 1 Next i MsgBox Count End Sub ' Put your word in A1 and the letter you want...

Looks like you are off to a decent start. I know you are not listening per your first post, and that is fine, but if there is one thing I learned quickly when I started it was to use a per share commission direct access broker. Unless you are doing large blocks of stock, the ticket charges...

I really don't need them for the trading, but more for after the market closes. :D
