toby - sorry, just noticed I wrote CME when I meant to write CEC. Here's a link to a doc on the DX contract http://nybot.com/finex/USDX4.pdf which includes formulas and weights

There's a Dollar Index contract at the CME - check their website.

Do you have a demo disk? We do not send out demos to prospective clients. But you can get a sense of what VantagePoint looks like and how it operates from the website... Is there a money-back guarantee? Market Technologies Corporation does not use money-back guarantees as a way to sell...

It says that it wouldn't have finally selected the matching "wave count" out of the thousands of possibilities until six months from now. But never fear, EW is always 100% accurate in hindsight :)

High pressure software salesman are worse than used car salesman. But why did you shell out $4500 for software you had trouble getting information about, didn't have time to try, and sound like you're still hoping to figure out? I can understand taking a swing at something you hadn't fully...

It's cute implementation of the old 9X trick

A quick couple of simple reasons - no cost to close out a credit spread if it's expiring worthless (where as the comparable debit spread will be in the money and incur dual exercise commissions) and if there's a sharp move in your favor you can often close a credit spread if you want to for...

"Streaming" data is usually realtime. The distinction isn't between streaming and realtime, it's between streaming and a full blown datafeed like quote.com or esignal, i.e., you can only see quote data from the point in time you start reading the stream but a full datafeed seamlessly...

FYI - extract from the CBOT's Market Profile Handbook: "...Since then, the CBOT has changed the letters indicating time. In January 1990-in order to accommodate 24-hour markets-the CBOT assigned a character to each half-hour trading period on a 24-hour basis. Half-hour periods from...

Note that the Pitstop scan is not complete - it only scans for the most recent 200 viruses. The virus I removed from a friend's PC a couple of weeks ago that was eating up all his CPU was a fairly old virus and would have been unlikely to be found by Pitstop. Don't mistake Pitstop as a...

On letter-based charts, aren't the extra letters used for non-regular trading hours?

OHLC - are you French or is there another reason you didn't understand that the earlier post was a JOKE?? :)

Oops, sorry, I copied the formulas from a website for expediency and didn't check them (personally don't use pivots because they're wrong so often). Looks like their formulas should have had parenthesis: R2 = (P - S1) + R1 which for simplicity is P + (H - L) S2 = P - (R1 - S1) also for...

Alan - something running in the background and "a conflict" are two different things. A conflict implies somekind of hardware glitch resulting in lower throughput - which would not show up in CPU utilization, just slower actual throughput. High CPU can be caused by stuff running in the...

akim - it's not free, but I routinely find the support/resistance this software computes much more accurate than ordinary pivots - but if you're determined to still use pivots, you can compute them yourself in a spreadsheet or calculator: (P) = (H + L + C)/3 (R1) = 2P - L (S1) = 2P - H...

Alan - if your CPU usage dropped after a system recovery but seems to later again be excessive, have you checked to see if you've got some kind of virus? Perhaps the system recovery cleans it up temporarily but there is one or more infected files still on the hard drive that you ultimately...

Hydrogen - Whether the latency time is good or bad depends on where you are and where you were linking to for the test and also how many hops that involved.

There is no "industry standard" - the specific symbology depends on the data vendor. Might be ES3H, ES03H, or ESH3 and then there are the special characters some vendors use, e.g., @ES3H, /ESH3, /ES3H, us@ES03H, ES/H3, etc. For example - Bridge, BMI, DTN, PCQuote, and others use ES3H or...

Haven't used those specifically, but my advice is stay away from "web accelerators" entirely. Most are more trouble than they're worth and have a history of screwing up file downloads, serving up old cached pages even when the page has changed on the server, etc. Better option is to invest...

Alan - when looking at the Task Manager's Processes tab, what's the process CPU utilization breakdown? If you're seeing the MBtrading or DTNiq software consistently eating 50%+ of your CPU, then looking at your hardware, bios, etc. probably is a waste of time (if it was a hardware or bios...
