    Occasional Apocalyptic Epistles

    ARf. Notes on two contracts: Much too much for me to handle right now. I cannot get beyond having my first one or two trades of the day be big losers. Every time I think I'm getting a feel for the HK market, it starts doing something weird. I don't know if it's the way I'm...

    JMA

    Here are two charts showing some cool things about jma. The larger-timeframe chart just shows you the difference between ema(8), jma(8,100), with ema(24) thrown in for fun. The zoomed chart circle 1. shows how a jma can be 'faster' than an ema.. circle 2. shows how it might help you...

    Let's all chip in for Gordon

    In the parlance of addiction therapy, you are an enabler. And perhaps a communist too. ;)

    JMA

    Depends on what you want to use it for. It is not a magic bullet-- but when you need the smoothest MA possible, it's great. What would you like to see it on? I can post something tonight before HK starts..

    Can an UK printer work in US ?

    It should be 12 or 20V DC at the printer. You just need the US power supply. If you have to buy from a 3rd party (e.g. radioshack), make sure all the numbers match. Regards, Laz

    Unfortunately, tournament-style poker can teach you some bad habits.. Like this 'all-in' business that happens so often..

    Esignal ain't what it's cracked up to be

    I would switch tomorrow if suggestions 1-3 were implemented. I download historical data at night for whichever issues I'm analysing-- but I don't ever need more than 50 active symbols. Right now, I'm only interested in US equities, ES/NQ/ZB, forex (optional), HSI and maybe some eurex stuff...

    Are my eyes deceiving me?!!!

    I think smartquant can do this. I've heard rumours that the license is in the 2-3k range. Check the smartquant group on yahoo for more. http://www.smartquant.com K can do it too.. but good luck being able to afford it.. I've heard 200k for developer license (but that may have been a...

    How old are you?

    26, never traded full time yet. Consulting has been too lucrative. In this environment, I expect I'll be trading full time in a few months. regards, laz ps. 100th post! woohoo seniority.

    Automated Forex Trading?

    This looks like the same platform that GAIN uses.. If you dig around the installs, I'm sure you can find the right dll (or jar, or whatever)... or anyone with an esignal account could look at the GAIN interaction piece (is it an .efs file?) and try to figure it out. regards, laz
