    eSignal back-testing limitations

    Hey Arthur, While you guys are discussing the Time Template in esignal, you may be able to answer a question for me. I have a couple of scripts that rely on a certain amount of tick data to generate signals. I currently have the time template set up for '1V' on two days worth of data, but...

    A question for hardcore esignal users

    Arthur, where is the blowjob icon in esignal? I must have overlooked it. It should make trading a lot more enjoyable from now on.

    A question for hardcore esignal users

    Hi guys, Can anyone tell me if it's possible to display two symbols in the same chart and process the market data from both in an EFS study. For example, can you display the emini S&P and nasdaq emini and generate trade signals based on divergence etc? thanks in advance, Runningbear

    The Truth About California

    If unfunded pension liabilities are 7% of California's GDP and the state of California collects taxes at around 14% of GDP, then half of all tax revenue will be needed to pay these liabilities. That's not good.

    Best island or place to trade from?

    I've spent a lot of time in Thailand and I think a lot of what you are talking about can be avoided if your smart and respectful of the local culture. The Thais are generally very polite people and most will not go out of there way to cause you any trouble. The rules are pretty simple. Don't...

    Windows 7

    One thing that's weird about windows 7 is that you can't access the text editor from the programs menu. You have to search your hard drive for 'wordpad' to find it. WTF?

    HFT: Linux vs Windows

    If you were going to build a High Frequency Trading system on a custom linux solution, I think you would need a data source that was a lot more advanced. You'd need full time & sales as well as level 2 depth. This is my point. The options appear to be really limited.

    HFT: Linux vs Windows

    Can anyone name a market data source that works with linux? To me, this would be the biggest problem as no data provider seems to cater to this market.

    i7-900s vs Xeon processors - identical?

    I upgraded from a Core2duo with 2gigs of DDR2 ram and Asus motherboard. Which used to run at 30% of CPU for the same esignal set-up, but it didn't multitask as well. The new set-up with run esignal and my broker software and play you tube videos all the same time without freezing.

    i7-900s vs Xeon processors - identical?

    Guys, I recently upgraded to the i7 950 chip with and MSI motherboard and 6 gigs of DDR3 ram. I run esignal. This set-up is awesome. I process a lot of tick data for the Dax and ESTX50 and this thing peaks at 6% CPU utilisation. Because I store the tick data in memory I need the extra ram...

    Bulls and Bears documentary

    This doco was actually on the ABC a couple of years ago. I watched it. It was pretty funny because that Rambo guy was living in Port Douglas, trading 18,000 interest rate futures contracts a day and his dial up modem kept dropping out. From memory his was trading spreads on the longer...

    Australian dollar hits fresh post-float high

    As long as the US continues to print dollars, the Aussie and gold are going to continue to rise. If you debase the world's reserve currency, investors are forced to find a new safe asset. Gold is it. And you can't hold gold in US dollars so you might as well hold it in currencies where it is...

    eSignal question (API + data)

    I believe the standard API is different to the desktop API. The desktop API is for retail customers and costs about $70 per month. It has a symbol limit. I think the standard API is probably what trading software providers like ensign and ninja are programming to.

    Best auto execution software

    Hey Tradelink, the project looks interesting. So ASP can capture data from esignal? How is it stored? And do you need the esignal retail api to do this? thanks in advance, Runningbear

    Hi guys, I recently upgraded to esignal 10.6 using windows 7 but I think there is some issues with these two. Does anyone have the exe file for the last version of 10.5 or even a link to where I can download it. Can't seem to find it on the esignal site. thank in advance, Runningbear

    Protecting IP when working with 3rd-party developer to automate

    One very effective way I have done this is the past is to have my scripts coded in a way that allows me to modify the code directly and add the buy and sell rules myself using simple code strings. Such as: buy if X is > than y and z is > than y or if a and b are < than c This way they may...
