And the TS code for the paintbar and signal... (BTW, the signal code is in 2000i format, using the now defunct ExitLong and ExitShort. To use it with TS7 you will need to convert the exit code to the current format)

Here is the TS system report...

I always like to test ideas like this when I have some free time. The author of the article that Jeanmichel posted stated that a rising ADX between 20 and 40 "stacks the odds" in your favor for a trade in the direction of the 8/18 moving average cross. So, the best way to see if he is right is...

I find this intriguing. How is your software able to make the specialist let you out any faster than someone else? My orders show "cancel pending" immediately, but I am at the whim of the specialist and have had him wait forever to let me out or fill me immediately when he received the...

I think he meant that when a serious event occurs you will get the wrong side of the envelope 90% of the time. Not that the event will occur 90% of the time. From what I have seen, to envelope you have to be a skilled trader. The few big losers thrown in there can really wipe out a lot of...

No need to be a jerk Gann. We are all just working to get better. Use your powers for good rather than evil.

Sure, you can take the easy way out if you want....LOL Thanks for the tip...not sure why I have to make things so hard sometimes.

This will plot the intraday high and low of the current day on a 1 minute chart. Just change 0830 to whatever time zone you are in for the open. If you use a longer interval than 1 minute, divide MinSinceOpen by the appropriate interval in the plot statement (Ex. Plot1(Highest(High...

Thanks for the clarification nyc. I don't use a screenshot program. Just highlight the window you want the screenie of and press ALT-PRINT SCREEN. Then go to Paint and paste it there from the clipboard. Then you can save it as a gif or jpg file.

This is why I asked about premarket data. I am using only regular hour data, and my ADX was above the DMI's from yesterday and did not cross under the PDI until 9:44et and didn't get under both DMI's until about 10:20et. nyc, does your ADX lookback not include the previous day? i.e. on the...

Thanks for the heads-up on that. However, considering it has almost 1000 pages you may want to spend the $35 at Amazon to get the hardcopy. I use it now more as a reference guide, so I am usually looking things up rather than reading each chapter in order. That is a royal pain to do in a...

nyc, Are you using premarket data for your caculations? Gaps can really throw the ADX off for awhile in the morning making the signals untrustworthy during what is often the best time of the day. Also, are you entering on the cross as soon as it hapens or do you require the 1 min bar to...

abishiai, Unfortunately, if you have TS7 (since you metnioned the @ES symbol I am assuming this is what you use) then you are stuck with whatever historical data they give you. I don't know how far back they keep ticks, but I remember that it wasn't enough for me to keep my subscription with...

Thank you.

nyc, This is an interesting approach. I've experimented a lot with ADX but I have never seen it used in a scalping (3-5 cents) style. I've watched the DMI on a few of the large Naz stocks that you mentioned for a few days and I had a couple of questions. Do you have any requirements...

IB has some info on its website on how to use their API here.

If you have a broker with an API that you can connect to it with something like Excel then it could be done. Interactive Brokers comes to mind. Unless its changed recently, I don't think TradeStation gives this type of access to their system. Without that, you would need to be able to apply...

I "waste" time here because I have already been down this road in my trading, thinking that there is some magical order that will lead to trading utopia. There are a lot of newbies that read these threads and think that if they just subscribe to this or that service that somehow they will...

abhay, So how are you trading this today? Your forcasted up move was until 11:30, so it missed by quite a bit. If you were waiting for the turningpoint at 11:30, you have missed a significant drop so far. Would you still be selling down here as 11:30 approaches? These are the types of...

Mark, If you are using TS 2000i, then its just the DMI indicator which includes the DM's and the ADX all in one. I don't know if TS7 uses the same names for the indicators.
