    Simple Question - How to change ADX smoothing in Tradestation/Multicharts

    Thank you Ron. Yes I have the formula, but I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how to code it. By chance do you or anyone know how to create a code for it? I'm sure most of it is done already since they have ADX already. I just want them to allow the smoothing variable as an input...

    Simple Question: How to change ADX smoothing in Tradestation?

    I want to change the default smoothing for ADX, but they only give you an option to change the periods. Esignal, Ameritrade and some others, you can change the smoothing. Can someone please tell me how to do this in Tradestation and/or Multicharts? thank you

    Is there no "standard" opening close price on charts

    I downloaded about 5 demos. Since Forex is 24 hours, what do people use for open and close on daily charts? On the demos I installed, the daily chart looks totally different on 3 of them. If you are short term I guess it wont' matter, but from a longer term, it's hard to decide on support...

    This is how I am researching to pick a Forex Broker

    Is the only advantage, the trailing stops? Otherwise I can just use IB's default software. So nobody can give details on what IB offers?

    This is how I am researching to pick a Forex Broker

    Yes, only if i was around I can pick my exits. I'd like trailing stops as an option if i chose to. Not saying I will implement it all the time. But if I go to sleep or run an errand, I'd like the choice to put a stop under support, or a trailing stop under a trendline. Depending on the markets i...

    Which broker has these features?

    I'm looking for a forex broker that has the following features: 1. Reputable (obviously), 24 hr support etc. 2. Low spreads (anything lower than 3 pips on eur/usd, would qualify) 3. Has a trailing stop feature, since I'm not glued to the screen (Oanda doesn't have this :( ) 4. A realtime...
