Hi! I wonder if anyone is using the method which would dynamically pick and drop stocks from the basket of those traded based on their performance as opposed to a static combination of stocks traded as a portfolio. Thanks!

thank you for your reply...looks like my last thread (http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=133058) comes as a "derivative" of my question to you :)

thanks! as i see it stochastic tends to jump on any more or less violent move but how do you set apart unusually sharp thrusts? thanks!

I wonder what method you are using to spot sharp price moves - can it be a multiple of average true range traveled in a fixed number of bars? thanks

can you please explain what you mean by momentum move?

for example,,,i recently worked on creating the zigzag indicator in excel..the ts zigzag uses the small pivots while i wanted to use the raw price...the indicator logic is as follows: You give it the minimum price length the price should move before it recognizes it as a leg. For example –...

yep..tracking the open positions can be tricky in excel...but i am talking here mostly about the ease of wiritng your ideas in code and immediately debugging them cell by cell as opposed to the way it is done in tradestation...I just want to say that excel is simply more straightforward in...

lol....not a setup at all....just a couple of thoughts...))

I am just coming to the conclusion that the obstacles to programming for the usual TS user can be inhibiting the development of the trading system itself - whose logic is far more important than you ability to to manipulate dynamic multi-arrays within tradestation environment....

thank you very much for your opinion Cosmic, Can you please elaborate on how you think the historical distribution of the oscillator can be used to calculate the bands? Thanks!!!

thank you for your replies....i am still at a loss how these black bands are calculated....can they be adjusted moving averages???

can anyone please comment?:)

here is what the developers are saying: A major task in using Elliott Wave Analysis is to identify Wave Three's accompanied with a strong Oscillator. In the past we have done this by visually comparing the size of the current Oscillator with that of the past. The Oscillator Break Out...

Hi! I want to ask if anyone can give me their guess on what the black bands on the Elliott Wave Oscillator in the attached images are. I know that the oscillator itself is the difference between the 35 and 5 moving averages. But what are these bands? Any comments are highly appreciated. Dima...

here is the method that i came up with recently to distinguish choppy markets from trending: calculate the total number of times the price crosses a simple moving average for the last 20 days hope it helps

thank you for detailed answer...what if i use the powerful processor and run my system on a second by second basis - provided that my workbook takes half a second to recalculate? thank you

thank you for your reply...I am wondering what is so wrong with using formula driven excl workbook to automate your strategy....unless you are operating on minute by minute basis the speed is not an issue as I see it....

do you mean that a strategy created with excel formulas alone can run almost as fast as a c++ equivalent? thanks!

I am not talking about simple indicator crossover/combination strategies here...but more complex adaptive ones

The TradeStation was designed from the ground up not to work with time series alone - it was designed to be one of the best strategy creation and automation packages in the world....I am saying that, in terms of ease and breadth of strategy creation capabilities, EXCEL is far superior to...
