    Price Bars

    Hi, constant range bars (also called momentum bars), together with constant change and constant volume bars, have been implemented in InvestorRT last month. As I just posted a list of resources about these momentum bars in the IRT yahoo forum, this looks like the relevant thread to cut and...

    Hi, this has not been mentioned yet, but if one really care for speed for its trading platform and if the hard drive speed is the key bottleneck of your system, then the best way is really to run your full trading applications from a virtual RAM drive : you will outperformed in speed any...

    Comments on eSignal 7.x and above

    Jay, thank you for the quick answer. I hope indeed this could be implemented in one of the future Esignal release this year. There has been few interesting discussions in ET about the best way of using future market depth info for very "short term" trading, but we still lack a convenient way...

    Comments on eSignal 7.x and above

    eSignal stipping volume from CBOT a/c/e markets (e.g. YM) since mid-Oct

    Bundlemarker, good question, depends on the charting package you use :-) On my Investor/RT using Esignal as datafeed, I do get zero as volume for every bar if I open an YM chart. When looking at the YM tick data, you saw indeed since Oct 13 (after session close)some bid/ask prices, but zero...

    Ninjatrader

    Baruch, I would say Ninjatrader has some great features for both new and experimented traders. For new traders, it offers a great simulator : using the exact same interface than the real-time version, you may discover and get used to all order management features and buttons so that you are...

    Fed up with Tradestation

    Chinook, as a former TS and Ensign users, that's was my first reaction too.. But some unique IRT indicators are there in order to balance for the lack of an advanced scripting language (some basic features exists as Resinate just pointed out) so that you get a lot of flexibility in trading...

    Some ideas about automated trading solutions

    George, Indeed, I think that, programming wise, a DLL should be much more efficient than using text files. The only point is that I do not know anything about programming and about creating some dll components. And I just even don’t want to learn it because I just hate spending time...

    Some ideas about automated trading solutions

    George, for information, with the current Ninjatrader automated trading features, you may have a "2 way communication" with the charting package. Indeed, as soon as an order is filled by TWS, NinjaTrader will automatically create two text files (automatedentryupdate.txt and...

    Some ideas about automated trading solutions

    Thanks Wally, this make me think I didn't indicate any cost information in my presentation, I might add it in the next update. For the IRT cost, you need to add the software lease and the datafeed subscription cost (as IRT might work with several dataservices) => IRT annual lease is at 595$...

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

    Creating a fee for people using the E-signal datamanager only is an excellent idea. However, I have very big doubt this will ever be implemented because such a fee would be de facto considered as an incitement for new users to subscribe to 3rd party tool instead of the Esignal charting...
