Good luck - the IPO money flowed into people's pockets, not infrastructure budgets. Globex has problems because the head of electronic trading systems at CME is the poster child for the Peter Principle and is flying by the seat of their pants. Maybe now that the IPO's over, some of the top...

That is a coding issue - it's one thing to update a stochastic as the current bar changes and quite another to generate an actual "signal" intra-bar. The generation of an actual signal should only occur at bar completion. Now for those looking at updating moving averages intrabar and seeing...

If this is what you're asking - as I recall, Dynastore has software that will feed the eSignal datafeed into TS.

An MA crossover system should NOT generate a signal until the bar closes to avoid false positives. If it is, then it's coded wrong.

I think he's talking about the ratio or up to down volume that day.

Could be a problem just that the esignal servers are overloaded and non-responsive during peak loads. That should be pretty easy for esignal to diagnose - if they're pegging CPU and/or outbound router or network bandwidth during peak loads, it should be obvious (although they might not want to...

Gordon - The reason there isn't just one price and why there's a spread is because the market isn't the grocery store and you're not just buying tomatoes It's an auction - actually it's more like a Moroccan bazaar with everyone haggling over the prices for all the different merchandise...

Hey, CME did their IPO - the big boys could give a damn now. The Globex operation is headed by people who don't know what they're doing and have a pre-CME track record of failure (they got put in place by the prior CME CIO who was such a weak link himself that he only hired people weaker...

jhs - Very sorry to hear about your father. Hopefully the doctors will be able to help him. I am absolutely NOT a supporter of WT (just the opposite) - personally I think they're a scam operation with a schlock product and a sucker pitch. But realistically, unfortunately most companies...

It's a sad fact that there's no free lunch If it could be done, it would already be done by all the arb traders and you couldn't do it anyway.

That's the problem with using any charting program that uses only a streaming quote feed (like IBs) instead of using a full feature datafeed. Sounds like a great idea - not having to pay for a separate datafeed if you use IB's quotes - Wow, great, what charting programs can use IB? Oh, wait...

surfer - Don't bust the basic (fairly simple) principle (which is Gann's, not Murrey's) just because Murrey's a hypster with delusions of grandeur.

According to Qcharts network status page there was an outage of Nasdaq data from 9:51 and 10:22 and they're going to have to try to obtain the data they didn't receive and fill the gap in the data. No indication about reason for outage.

Darren - there's a potential ownership issue involved. Don't remember the details off the top of my head, but in the US there's a little blip in the tax rules about beneficially owning a certain % of an offshore company and having to declare that ownership and share of profits (whether paid out...

People shouldn't confuse the absurdity of Murray the man with the Gann ideas he tries to lay claim to. In principle, they're not substantially different from the basic idea behind using Fibonacci %s to trade. But because Murray's such an obnoxious hypster, it's easy to dismiss the basic idea...

Corso - what symbols are you looking at? I'm not seeing a problem with the symbols I just checked.

dedicated - it's because of short sale rules. You can sell an existing long position anytime, but selling short involves availability of inventory of stock and uptick rules.

sun170 - You can do realtime scans like the Oz scans with Trade Prospector (uses quote.com's datafeed right now).

Your question might also ask if looking at support/resistance on an index is valid - which it is. Because trading in the ETF and/or based on the related index and/or index futures actively affects the constituent stocks. If it's tradable (at least if it's tradable in reasonable volume)...

The more important ratio is winning dollars vs. losing dollars rather than just winners vs. losers. You can have an under 50% win/loss ratio and still regularly make money - it depends on your position management and whether your winning entries produce significantly more profit than your...
