    The earlier you make the call, the more room you have to wash and reverse if wrong. Think of the market going into congestion or a lateral. How long you wait to reverse will determine if you get whipsawed or can reverse with a wash/profit during the lateral. - EZ

    vista and sterling trader

    You would need to check ALL .exe files that run under that program, and set them for window XP compatability mode. If that doesn't work you have to wait for a patch or go back to XP. This is what worked for Qcharts and other programs having Vista issues. Vista is a memory hog, CPU not...

    I couldn't get these set up to work with the Qcharts feed - Qlink. Anyone have a link for learning how to use the .dde in Excel, or is anyone using these with Qcharts? I just estimate the PRV on the fly but it would be nice to have a display. - EZ

    QCharts no longer unlimited data! Where to get it then?

    Thanks for clarifying the symbol list issue. So if you need more than 200 at a time you're screwed. I'm in the 75%, use less than 100 so it doesn't affect me. I can see a problem for anyone running and sorting a large list on the fly. I wonder if you could keep several saved lists, and...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Equities Trading Journal III

    You should be able to find a stock screener for Canadian stocks that will let you set certain combinations of earnings and profit margins etc. Doesn't have to be exact. If you can tweak it (for settings on US stocks) to mimic the Canslim IBD stocks, then use it for Canadian stocks. At least...

    QCharts no longer unlimited data! Where to get it then?

    I use TC2000 for the total market scanning. $30 a month for Nasdaq and Nyse. It's EOD, but you can update during the day, it's 20 minutes delated. I thought at Qcharts you could only have 200 realtime quotes coming in at one time? Do you need to screen the whole market real time during the...

    Qcharts and Vista

    Here is the fix to get Qcharts to run properly, Thanks to the guys on the E-Signal board: R-click "QCharts.exe" in your QCharts folder. Turn ON - "Run as administrator". Another R-click "QCharts.exe" and select/click "Properties" at the bottom of the menu. In Properties dialog... Click...

    Qcharts and Vista

    I don't want this to turn into a bash Vista thread, but the main problem is the memory usage. Not RAM but the CPU. The new Desktop manager, with windows explorer, and IE7.0 use so much processing memory that I keep spiking the CPU usage - and it freezes. This didn't happen on XP, and I...

    Qcharts and Vista

    Found a temporary work around. Vista doesn't let the MktHours.inf or CorpActs.inf files update. Shouldn't be too hard to get a patch soon. Qcharts/Esignal is working on the problem. This affects the hours displayed, and also stock splits. If you need the workaround check the Esignal...

    I checked it out. Backwards method of drawing channels, starting in the now and going to the past with the channel lines. It looks like it might make things easier for a beginner to get started and draw the right channels in "hindsight" or get caught up quickly on a chart. Then again, I'm...

    Qcharts and Vista

    Got a reply back from Tech support. Qcharts is not Vista compatable. They will release a compatable version later this year. "Later this year" doesn't sound promising as they still have bugs in their 6.0 beta. So if ya gotta use Qcharts, don't upgrade to Vista. Also having a few other...

    It gets easier. For a while I couldn't even watch or read the chat because I was too busy annotating and trying to calc PRV. It was nuts. Now it's easy. Regards - EZ

    Qcharts and Vista

    Anyone running Qcharts and Vista? First day on a new computer with Vista and noticed that I couldn't get over-night sessions on the Futures. After playing with it for a while and calling tech support (no help yet) I found that in Tick mode it shows the after hours data. But not on any...

    Anyone buying Vista?

    LOL, well, they made me. My computer melted down Friday and the new one has Vista. No problems with any of my old software except Qcharts. Doesn't show after hours or overnight sessions now. I'm assuming it's a Vista issue since no one else seems to have this problem. Ninja Trader...

    Jack, Would you be able to explain a bit about the even odd harmonics you mentioned. I haven't been able to find anyone who understands it (from your point of view, I'm sure you know what I mean). Part of it is my ignorance as I never finished my EE degree, but have done a lot of study on...
