So I guess we've found a programming bug - can e-signal fix this one - find out what it is and write and distribute a patch? Natalie

Hmmmmmm, one look in the mirror kinda confirms it for me - I'm deffinitely Not one of those - thank goodness! :) Natalie

Yes - I had that problem too. At the same times you are talking about... I did a re-boot automatically, but like you I'm using XP and have a more than fast enough machine with loads of memory... I've also found that if you have tick charts espeically with more than about 3 studies on them...

Don't know about the limit bit, but you can write a study using Java to produce the analysis you are talking about... Natalie

Oh Cathy - I'm going to be humming that song to myself for the rest of the weekend now... Natalie:D

Very much the case. Interesting you should bring that up. In backtesting scalp-type trades, I always add 1.5 points for slippage and double the charges. This came from having expensive broking, but it now stands me in very good stead because if a strategy is profitable consistently with...

Sadly very true. I watched a programme about the dating rituals in NY the other night. It was more like a cattle market.... I think that is all any of us really want - someone who loves us for ourselves. The problem is, the more successful we become, the more the question of the other...

Forgive my ignorance here... - But I thought worriers had spears and artists had paintbrushes??? :) Natalie

Very funny. Very original! Not heard that one before... LOL I suppose you want the girl to say "ooooooooh - can I see your spear!" ????????? Or is that your line - "Come back to my place and I'll show you my spear!" Natalie

To do things like trade futures. At least not in the little ex-mining town where I live. If I told them what I do they'd look at me like I was a martian... LOL And the immortal words so many have said -"But - you're a woman!" in that oh so astonished tone they use... So I just say I work...

The EFS scripting is fine - if it were properly and fully documented. But it has limitations in the system that preclude a number of our projects getting off the drawing board.... (We've already got that covered using other feeds anyway, so not a big issue for us...) Also, The better the...

It does kind of end up being something of a double edged sword doesn't it. I can see your point and I know it's not aimed at anyone in particular, Were I developing on my own I would probably be asking such inane questions, but between the 3 of us developing stuff here, that is not the case in...

I didn't get it from the website, I contacted them directly and simply explained what I was doing with software developement and asked for it. Mind you, I've been using their feed for about 2 years... So sorry, I wouldn't know where to look for details, but I do know it is available. Natalie

Yes - agreed. tenfore (the other data provider that I use) has a good data feed too (as good as anyones from all that I've seen over the past couple of years of using them), but they have a very limited front end. They more than make up for their limitiations intheir software by having their...

There's also a problem with tick and intraminute bars when the market is shut. Today for example - I can't access any tick or 30 second bars to do backtests. Also there isn't much more than 2 days of it available at any time. It should be rather more than that. If you want to use tick bars...

Hi Andy, Thank you for the reply. It's good to hear there is more on the way. To be honest, I only considered getting e-signal once the more recent developements were in place to serve my needs. As to source material. A glossary would be helpful, also some guidance on C++ (which I'm led...

Thanks. for the link. Yeah - I know - it's a learning curve... Thanks anyway Natalie

Hi Dog, No - I've not tried it yet, but when I get a new PC (alongside this one) I intend to get TS in as well. I'm planning on runing the 2 side by side along with other stuff we're developing 'inhouse'. I still need to sort out a few bandwidth problems too... (BT co-operating that is)...

Hiya, I'm using the latest version, and have found a couple of niggling things. In backtesting, if you use the ES you need to put in 50 contracts and then sort out the charges pertrade etc. instead of it recognising that eash contract is $50... If you are using a tick chart say 50tick...
