NeoTicker vs. eSignal

Another thing,

I tried using Yahoo groups a while back. What a pathetic forum.

It was slow, poorly organized, and constantly throwing me into advertizing pages.

Perhaps you guys could organize a better method for user interaction.

We recognized those limitations on Yahoo and that was a big reason we introduced and moved to eSignal Central. Over 6000 members in less than a year and great traffic around the clock with our growing international client base. We monitor the boards all day and night, you don't have to sift thru ads, the layout is clean and straightforward and you get the added benefits of our File Sharing system. Good stuff :)

Thanks.

Louis,

it seems from my admittedly incomplete review of the documentation that there are many snippets of code that are used as examples, but they don't serve to pull the whole idea together.

What we really need are some COMPLETE programming examples which are annotated line by line showing what the line does, and especially, what the various bits of code in the line does.

A sort of Neoticker script programming for dummies.

Otherwise we spend a lot of time like this... :confused:

Another problem is finding the stuff that IS in the help file.

I looked all over for a guide to what the various fields that can be put in columns actually meant. I finally found what I was looking for under "fields tab" in the index. Not exactly intuitive to me.

But, I can say that Neoticker seems quite useful when I do get something figured out, and I am pleased so far that I have it.

(But, I hasten to add, I haven't actually accomplished a great deal so far)

Looks like you want to use script. You can find a complete
example in the documentation, under:

Programming Guide>Programming Tutorials>Tutorial: Writing a Breakout Trading System.

Each part of the code is explained in detail.

Again, script is just one way to write a trading system in
NeoTicker. You can always use formula or Backtest EZ,
both are a lot less intimidating than scripts for new users.

Yahoo group is very nice and easy to work with if you
instruct it to send you email, either individual emails
or in digest form. No more ad problems.

Steps:
1. Go to groups.yahoo.com
2. Sign in.
3. Click on the group you belong on in the left.
4. Click Edit My Membership in the right.

Download the pdf version of the help files. It has both a table of contents & index...examples too. Load your printer with paper, it's only 1301 pages!

P.S. Louis, need to finish the Indicator formula examples - they stop at Q

Hawker,

There are three ways to write trading system in NeoTicker:

- Backtest EZ
- Formula language
- Script/IDL

Which one you are using? I can probably point you to the
part of doc that describes it.

As for PDF, if you need one, email us privately to
support@tickquest.com. However, I don't think printing it
out is practical for most new users (1300+ pages). It's
much easier to use online doc with searching to find what you
want.

Louis thx for you reply. I'm trying to figure it out as simple as possible. I'm not trying to swim in the deep waters of script for now because gonna be very time consuming.
I'm trying to get it together with the formula language first. However I must agree with TonySanDiego in the regard of examples and some continuation in the context to put a complete idea in the works.
Seems to me that the help section is ideal for programming mind structure individuals :confused: for who such info should be very obvious not for people like me (which is bad :( ) without programming language background.
However I like the features of the software and the capability to feed it through eSignal :)

I'm completely agree with Tony in this regard. The software is great , all we need is more basic step by step info to reach the whole idea.
 
Yahoo-groups are terrible indeed. It is very bad that Neoticker has not an organized support and interaction community such as those of Wealth-Lab, TS, and eSignal.

The first time I visited Wealth-Lab site, I remained there for about half an hour reading some posts over the board. And of course I visited the forum again and again.

The first time I visited Neoticker yahoo-group, I almost got depressed. What an awfull sort of communication. To follow a simple discussion of 10 posts, you have to press at about 30 clicks (not joking). Of course, I feel that Neoticker simply *does not* have an organised community at all, right now. What a pitty for such a good product...
 
I am catching on to the fact that the formula language is similar to Excel spreadsheet programming in it's form.

But, it took me a while to find out how to use an IF and an AND statement in the same formula. But, it was doable.

I actually wrote a little scan and used it today. Found a couple of good candidates, but the market had other ideas.

Jeesh.... this market is tough to read, no follow through what so ever.... then, whoosh, out of the blue comes a move. Neoticker can't help with that..

:(
