Hi, sorry to bring back this one from the dead, but maybe you can help me. i couldn't implement the ScaleTrader alternative, mainly I think it's cause it doesn't do what I want. What I want is -with one click- enter an order (be it breakout or limit) that will have an overall stop loss but...

Hi. I wonder if anybody know if you can apply an indicator on an indicator, without programming. A simple one could be an average on volume, but other's would be cool like an ATR on an average. Thanks a lot! Cheers

Thanks Matt. I was looking for something automated. I guess TWSLink could be an answer. But going back to data maintenance, those who do backtesting and use your own data: do you save it in ascii files, use some database, some file format?

Hi guys. I am trying to automate buying breakouts in IB. So far I am using STOP orders, with an added bracket for a target and a stop if after the breakout the position goes against me. What I want to do is to have 2 targets, much the same as what Bracket Trader does (but from inside TWS)...

Thanks I read those, specially the second one (from where I got the TradersStudio idea). I ended up liking Tradestation (although is not definitive) because I don't have to maintain the data. Are there other packages where you can backtest without having to maintain the data of prices or...

I think I'd go the TradeStation route because they take care of data maintenance, and all the code availability (although I really liked Traderstudio for the logic that's build in it) Can you export from TradeStation? TIA

Hello I am trying to decide on a backtesting (and money management) platform. I want to try multi-market combinations. Since that's the case, having access to multiple assets data is an issue. From what I learned, there are packages with included data (like TradeStation and Prorealtime) and...

Hello. I want to develop an algo in excel that will identify support/resistenace lines that are not horizontal. For horizontal s/r detection I simply use the frequency() function to check for price zones that repeat themselves. In the case of non horizontal levels, I know that what's...

Looks very promising and cool. Gonna check it out.

That's true. But it doesn't allow you to ask him for older intraday prices (it allows you for older daily ones), and since it doesn't have macros you can't collect them yourself. I'd like to have something that's backfilled. Plus, it's still cumbersome when you try to use it as a spreadsheet.

Hello. I used to have Bloomberg with has connectivity to excel thru DDE. I checked some API's like the IB one and they offer this feature too. However, Bloomberg has the alternative to use functions with arguments, so they are not 'hard-coded' like many of the DDE implementations. Do you...

Thanks a lot for the info. Cheers, Andrés

yeah, it shows both. Do you know if there is a consensus about it, and also if there's a place where TA for the bond is discussed. It's odd for me that such an important market doesn't get much coverage in the technical field. Andrés

Hello guys, this is my first post on these forums. Do you guys know of any source of TA of the 10yr Bond price/yield, on the net? As a subquestion: given that the bond trades in two different ways: a) Open auction: 07:20am-02:00pm b) Electronic mk: 07:00pm-04:00pm How do you...
