    So, with the power shift toward Reddit kiddos..

    do we start watching different time points for momentum shifts? Instead of option expirations, maybe rent-due or tuition-due dates? Will every Friday close now be down because the kiddos need $ to go clubbing (well, once the virus is done)? Maybe major market outflows when a new WoW expansion...

    The best way to detect trend market/non trend market in programming?

    I would say fit a linear regression line through the period in question, then check what the slope is (in % per candle period).

    41 billionaires are now as rich as the poorest half of the world population

    It depends on what you mean by "bring more to the table". If by that you mean some kind of humanistic, individual "worth", some kind of personal qualities, kindness, integrity, even intelligence, that kind of stuff - yes. If by that you mean contribution to the progress of humanity, you're...

    Scanner recommendation

    That is exactly the point I was making above. Obviously server-side scanning cannot be infinitely customizable, since it is based on pre-programmed scans.

    Traders that use our scanning capability usually pre-screen a list of stocks that they then scan in real time during markets.

    Which way? Hydrogen / Green Energy

    Basically, any talk of hydrogen as fuel being "green" and replacing fossil fuels smacks of perpetuum-mobile fallacy. Again, hydrogen in such a model is not fuel. It is an energy transfer medium, and a pretty poor one at that.

    Yes one scan could run on 5 min candles and the other scan could run on 15 min candles and you would see both results in the table. Since alerts are triggered inside the scan and not outside it, alerting on the combo of the two would not be possible as it is. We'd have to figure out some way to...

    Which way? Hydrogen / Green Energy

    First of all - I'm not sure. It should probably produce just as much CO2 as burning the natural gas in an ICE. And then you have to take into account the low hydrogen energy density, inefficiency of hydrogen storage, transportation, etc.

    Which way? Hydrogen / Green Energy

    That's not "green". That produces CO2 galore.

    Which way? Hydrogen / Green Energy

    Sigh. That canard again. "To make it, all you need to do is run electricity through water." - yes. A LOT of electricity, creating a hugely less energy-dense fuel than the fossil fuels that is very hard to store effectively. "He says hydrogen energy was the solution to the need to move the...

    Scanner recommendation

    AFAIU, there are two ways to do scanning: 1. Server side - something like Trade-Ideas. Pro: you can scan the whole universe of stocks. Con: you can only run the scans that the server has pre-programmed (and probably combine such scans). So cannot do full customization. 2. Client side - like...

    Scanner recommendation

    Right now it is 1 scan per portfolio. We're working on being able to do more than 1 - probably 3 max. Then you will be able to set different timeframes on each scan.

    Technical Question about Candlestick Bar ?

    Try MT. It has the same design philosophy, with the correction for the technology that advanced a bit in the 20 years since QT was created.

    Technical Question about Candlestick Bar ?

    Medved Trader is the successor to Medved QuoteTracker (which was bought by TDA and eventually killed by it). Is better than the original. (And this is Mike. Jerry also posts here).

    Technical Question about Candlestick Bar ?

    It depends on software you use. In ours (Medved Trader) a study could be written for an intraday chart that would go through the tick data for each candle and indicate, on the candle, which came first. I am sure it could be done in others.

    Level 2 on different brokers

    There are different feeds that get called "Level II". There is BBO - that is, best bid/offer from several exchanges/market makers. That will give you only the top of the "book" at every exchange. Again, depending on the source of the feed, more or fewer exchanges are included. There is Market...

    ThinkorSwim On Demand 1 min open delay during backtest

    ToS weirdly enough doesn't have MOC order type in its "Snap Ticket". Does have it in the "Order Entry" tab though. In the "Snap Ticket" you have to enter it as a "Market" order with the Expiration of "Market on Close". Which is pretty un-intuitive.
