You didn't say what you are screening for (signal criteria). Therefore the question cannot be answered at this point. It might not be necessary to store the data in an array. In principle arrays are ok for monitoring the activity in a range. Simplistic approach: - Define an array that...

Oil seems to know only one direction ... down. Means: Not so much demand for it = production tanking = markets in general tanking. (Also no direct relation to EUR/USD, just to markets in general).

Really helpful answers can only be given if your priorities are known. Anyway I can tell you what mine are/were: First priority is time: Make the system operational as fast as possible. You don't want to make money 1/2 year or 4 years later than possible. Consequences: -> 1. Use...

Result is already clear: It will be accepted. Only question is how many votes. Since this is clear already for some time it's already in the price (big upmove started on Friday). Probably afterwards selling will kick in (after some early excitement).

+1. 1. Market held up only with cheap money. 2. No QE3 = no more cheap money 1.+2. -> market tanks. Look at oil. No special relation to europe.

@Rodney King Thanks for the link. Very helpful.

Some good (low cost) advice was already given in this thread somewhere: Connect to IB (Interactive Brokers) and save the data into files. This will require some API programming. There is no off the shelf solution. What I would like to add: It's not done with a few days. If you...

Care to explain the terms? T box, spf 30 ?? Google returns nothing that makes sense. (T box leads to set top boxes, spf to sun protection factors:)) How did you mount the lcds?

The data can be (depending on provider) as simple as this: Single ticks which have values for price, volume, bid or ask flag, time stamp and for stocks also market maker id It is the software that may bring it into the form of a table.

After the SNB decision I entered big time (up) and made some good bucks. Now I leave some smaller portion on the table (up) and will see where the journey goes. Never can be sure how irrational the markets can become. It wouldn't astonish me too much if someone tried (successfully) to...

Don't know if you have ever been to Switzerland. Now the situation is like this: Everything in this country is much more expensive than in the neighbour countries (e.g. Germany, France, Italy). This holds for goods as well as labour. Switzerland is highly dependend on export (even more...

Do you realize Monday is labor day? How much will the indexes move then? Know thy calendar.

First think about it: What happens if you do not use some muscles? Even with healthy young men muscles get weaker in a very short time if they are not used. Therefore all the chairs that provide more "comfort" for the person sitting on it will result in causing muscle degradation, back...

IB data feed is actually very good no matter how much bashing it attracts. Sure it has drawbacks. Problem is that (to my knowledge) none of the usual platforms cares to use it appropriately. Certainly not Ninja. Ninja handles historical backfill from IB in a chaotic way and when you talk...

Yes. My guess is that pure charts are indeed more or less random. Appears to me that people who find an edge do so in watching the patterns develop and consider other sources of information (volume, DOM, news, watching the market environment). That's also the reason why it is so...

@Dale Box Is it possible to interface directly (via proprietary program) to CQG API? Any extra fees?

Since you are using Excel you can use IB (Interactive Brokers) API and get the data into your spreadsheet. (Quick and dirty solution, not really recommended if you want to go further.)

Software functionality e.g: http://www.cmegroup.com/globex/files/PriceBanding.pdf You may find this from www.cmegroup.com Search for "algorithm" or the like.

Demo is just for getting accustomed to the software / very basic testing. Never expect any realistic data from the demo. For paper trading you need a real account with paper trading enabled.
