Trade-Ideas Tech Issues

Quote from reid5525:

If I remove the minimum range I'll be getting stocks that are trading flat or near flat.
Also, when biib crossed the ma just after 12:30, the alert did not trigger until 1:41pm. This was using 5min Heartbeat with the 50 SMA filter. I emailed TI about this since I'm seeing too many of these late alerts.

Loosen it up does not mean get rid of it. change the range to .25

Trade Ideas use's Townsend Analytics servers, the same as Real Tick. They have always been problematic in that they have bad ticks etc.

Rather then using min range on day, consider using min up on day, say 50 cents up from the open etc. Also consider taking the min range away and make it have say 10 trades above the 50ma before you get the alert etc.

I have settings that work well finding stocks trending up. I'm exploring the 50 SMA for stocks retracing from low. I am not totally satisfied with the performance of the reversal from low alerts. Not enough upturn on the 25% alert. The 75% is better, but I'm exploring configurations for the reversals. I just now got email from TI. They are looking into it.
