TradeStation's Strategy Automation Engine can automate the execution of your equity trading strategies in real time. Once TradeStation 6 knows your buy and sell rules, it's able to monitor the markets. When it spots an opportunity based on your rules, you have the option of clicking a confirm button or automatically sending your order without waiting for a confirmation. TradeStation can track multiple strategies and markets at once and is designed for real-world trading watching for partial fills, trailing stops, and much more. Mainly the benefits are being able to follow more markets than possible by hand and reacting automatically to your own set of buy and sell rules.

More like "jaded" rather than unhappy, though might be a bit of both. There are friendly and helpful people there if you ask an intellegent question. There are also some who love to rip into fresh meat but on balance most are well behaved. There is a searchable archive located at:

I completely agree with TriPack. I subscribe to numerous mail lists which generate probably 400-500 messages a day in total, and I think the "signal to noise ratio" on the Omega list is better than most. Yes, there are rants and listmembers can get crabby. But the quality of many of the posts far outweighs all the noise.
I don't have any statistics, so this is just my gut feel based on about three years of following it plus knowing several members off list: Besides having some really sharp coders that can be very helpful, I think there is a much higher concentration of successful systems traders, money managers, fund managers, etc. than most lists I follow. This might account for the extreme crankiness towards posters who are trying to set up newbies, make market calls, or sell something.
I've noticed that the discussion tends to ebb and flow. There can be long stretches of light posting followed by some great discussions, so it's worth watching over time before making an assessment about whether it's right for you.
Hi group. I am trying to build a function that shows if volume in a security is high or low, compared to what it trades usually (based on, say, 5 days history)at that time of the day.
I have spent many hours trying to solve this one but nothing works right.
If anyone already has such a function, please help me.
thank you

Have you tried an array or arrays?
I use an indicator for Nasdaq Composite volume ($TVOLQ) that checks and compares x-day (up to 10) average vol and today vs. yesterday at various time-of-day intervals... It creates and re-iteratively fills the appropriate values in the array at each interval (inputed as Time1, Time2, etc.) using the for/downto routine.
I suspect there's probably a more elegant (and possibly more computation-intensive) way to do it continuously or quasi-continuously.
Adapting it for a specific security and/or larger number of intervals might take some thinking... If you want more details, feel free to PM me here...
