    Toyota is quietly pushing Congress to slow the shift to electric vehicles

    Well that's a lot simpler :) Electricity is already widely available and has a huge generation/distribution network. There is no such network for hydrogen. If it would come from electrolysis of water that would definitely NOT be a "slightly better idea" than electricity from the plug...

    Toyota is quietly pushing Congress to slow the shift to electric vehicles

    One huge downside compared to electric cars is that you can charge an electric car at home. You cannot do that with a hydrogen-powered car. So other than solving the problem of efficient and sufficient hydrogen storage in a moving vehicle (that has not been solved) you face the problem of...

    Is Charles Schwab day trading friendly?

    Whose rule? It seems to be an Ameritrade rule, not an exchange rule. Exchanges have a 390 trades rule for options. Ameritrade rule apparently pertains to stock trades.

    Why are used cars so expensive right now?

    So - according to that graph, it is really worth it right now, if you have a 7-8 year old car, to sell it and buy a new one?

    API access to my programmer

    Either that or ask the broker (if you have enough weight) to give you an acct. You are getting paid (I presume) quite a bit for the project. You cannot afford $50 to stick into an account? It is not just the initial development. APIs change, things break, code needs to be maintained.

    API access to my programmer

    You don't have to put much $ into the account.

    Is SC real-time data actually delayed?

    Maybe. But the candle consists of ticks within the minute *excluding* the 60 second mark. So marking it historically with the timestamp of a tick that is not included in it is misleading.

    Is SC real-time data actually delayed?

    So you have two bars in the chart that have the same timestamp? I think that would be quite confusing to the user. SC is consistent - every candle is stamped with the starting time of the candle. ATP is not consistent. Some candles (the ones before the last one) are stamped with the ending time...

    Is SC real-time data actually delayed?

    I am confused. Help me out here. You have a chart. Last candle is "current" - all the other candles are "prior" candles. Correct? Let's say it's 9:45:33 right now. The "current" candle is timestamped 9:45. It contains ticks from 9:45 until 9:45:33. The candle immediately before it is...

    API access to my programmer

    I programmed to dozens of APIs. I always either have my own account or the API vendor provides one for me.

    Is SC real-time data actually delayed?

    .. and that is exactly what SC (and all others) are doing. The "8:30" candle includes in itself all ticks timestamped from 8:30:00 to 8:30:59.99999. What is the problem with that? Using the start-of-candle timestamping and one-minute candles, the market starts with the 9:30 EST candle and ends...

    Is SC real-time data actually delayed?

    The problem with that is that the daily close is not necessarily at 15:59:59.99. It could be at 16:01 or 16:05. The exchange decides what the daily close is and it may not be what you think.

    Is SC real-time data actually delayed?

    The way I always understood it (been about 25 years now) the candles' timestamp should be at the start of the candle. That's the way it is in Medved Trader, ThinkOrSwim, TWS, and TradingView, among others. I also worked with dozens of APIs that provide 1-min candle data and they all timestamp...

    which crypto wallet and why?

    It's not a "wallet" you seem to be looking for, it is a crypto exchange. You deposit into Coinbase (using ACH) for free. Then you buy/sell crypto - here's the fee schedule https://help.coinbase.com/en/pro/trading-and-funding/trading-rules-and-fees/fees If you're small scale, basically...

    Non-display fees

    I seem to remember that there was in the last couple of years a re-definition of the user categories to whom the non-display fees applied. Does anyone know what the current criteria are for various exchanges - NYSE and Nasdaq in particular, but OPRA and CME as well?

    Tradestation charts slow

    Ok... I tried timing switching in my MT. Intraday chart, 1 min, 40 days of data. Seven indicators (Ichimoku, Darvas Boxes, Regression channels - fairly complex ones). Switching takes about 0.3 - 1.5 seconds (depending on how liquid the stock is - that is, how many data points there are to...

    Tradestation charts slow

    Nothing on computers is instant. Recalculating the candles and plotting them takes time. It definitely should not take 30 seconds - but it may take 1 or 2 or 3. Depending on the way the program is written - if every time you switch the data is reloaded from servers it may take quite a bit...

    Tradestation charts slow

    Just out of curiosity, how long do 1 min charts take to switch? TOS and Tradestation?

    MT has two types of scans - "Simple" (where it is a point and click set of rules) and "Advanced" (code). An advanced" scan can be made by making a simple one then converting it to advanced and modifying it. Try it - the first month sub to MT is free. Email us at support and I'll help you set...

    Thoughts by users of TRADE-IDEAS and SCANZ

    DaiabetesBeetus - from what you're saying you're looking for a screener, not a scanner? That is, you're looking to find a list of stocks that satisfy some criteria, usually based on fundamentals, that do not change in real time? What MT does is scan its tickers in real time, based on the real...
