hi asap, Very interesting topic - thanks for posting it. Unfortunately, I disagree with just about everything you've said, but I'm always open to having my thinking and ideas challenged. However, I'll have to wait until the markets close to respond to your points. Now if we can just keep...

bill, Such is the perogative of the thread originator. Feel free to start you're own thread if you believe there is more to be said on this subject. bolter

Moderators, Did you see my request to close this thread - please? If you would be so kind. Thanks again to everyone for their participation and/or interest. see you 'round, bolter

hi forex, Obviously MD can only present the data as it is supplied. There are alot of idiosyncracies with the way data is provided by the various exchanges/platforms and then how it is processed and supplied by data vendors. It's just no practicable to expect to receive actual...

frosty, Here' some advice from somebody who has been developing and trading systems for years.... After an outlier like that you need to shutdown your system and analyse what went wrong. Don't take it too hard. You will only truly begin to understand how to develop and test systems...

This thread seems to have run its' course. Thanks to all for your participation and interest. I hope it was of some benefit. Moderators - please close this thread down. And thanks for keeping the lunatics at bay. bolter ..... out!

Great links spinner. Thanks

Of course the astute among you have already thought "wait a minute I can construct a pseudo-MACD for just the big lot traders because they are the smart money". Well yes you can, and no they ain't. Certainly in the case of the ER2, you would be well served by using a pseudo-MACD for trades <...

You'll notice that it has very similar shape to the MACD, but it does have a little more noise. However, it does tend to produce signals alot earlier. You can see from this chart that the MACD produced two false divergences, however the pseduo-MACD got it exactly right. In fact the divergence...

Here's an idea that maybe of use. One of the systems I'm working on uses a MACD, one of the more useful technical indicators IMHO. However, it has certain characteristics that detract from it's usefulness. 1) It's momentum divergences are often suspect. 2) A short term burst in price skews it's...

Yes Charly you should overread.

It's been a while since I posted something worthwhile. In fact you could probably argue a strong case that I've never actually posted anything worthwhile. Be that as it may ...... One of the niceties of the FP chart in MD is that it lets you slice and dice a whole bunch of different data in a...

Trader28, Working fine for me. Whenever I have problems like that it is usually related to the session. Good luck, bolter

bill, that 5 second refresh rate is my own preference. most people will have a much shorter setting I suspect. all the best, bolter

bill, try something like this ... bolter

I may well live to regret this. but here goes ..... We have a chat room where myself, kiwi_trader, MK and 5 or 6 other guys hang out. A few of us use I/RT and trade using MP and MD, but the rest of the guys are doing all sorts of different things. And we all seem to trade different markets -...

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the intro - nice to have you on board. regards, bolter

MK, Your spurious delta values seem to be data related (ie: vendor). The cumulative delta confirmed the move on my chart (esignal data). bolter

Guys can we stay on topic please.

Cariocas, I didn't have you in mind when I made those comments. Your charts/style are different and interesting - which adds richness to the thread (so to speak). Thanks for your contributions.
