Okay here is the deal. I got tradestation b/c I have a strategy that alerts me to stocks that are forming specific technical intraday patterns.
No other scanner can do what I want so I went with tradestration.
Now The online help manuals suck at EL, and they basically force u to buy the book......
SO I did. 3 weeks later it is still stuck in the mail (3 phone calls placed), and now that edition is discontinued
So I go online, and there are so many damn threads, that refer to over threads, which refer u to other threads, etc.. etc.
Can someone help point me in the right direction and help with my frustuation?
I even be willing to pay a small fee for you to code the patterns and explain a little rather than pay $50/hr to the Tradestation guys.
So until my book comes, or if it even does, I am trying to sort it out.
thanks in advance.

Your frustuation is unreasonable, You got a pattern,
you want to code it, but haven't taken any time in
learning how to code, and time is critical to you.
Seems you have urgency to make money, you like
many others blaming tradestation for your problems.

I can help you code it. PM me if u need help. I'll do it for free as long as it is not too difficult.
Well now that I have access to the book they just put on line (that I reviewed last night), I can learn. Which I am happy about.
My frustration was/is dealing with pinheads at TS who dont know the status of my order (5-7 day delivery) (and 3 weeks later still hasnt arrived)and sell me a product which is now defunct and obsolete.
Also they refer you a website which for a TS beginner is pretty useless and hard to navigate.
NOt true, I learned the "urgency to make $" pitfall years ago.
The only reason "time" appears to be critical is that I get pissed off when I am paying $250+/month for a product and I cant get the necessary tools to use it for the sole purpose I purchased it.
You would be pissed too.
Anyway, this is all moot since the book is downloadable online
)I don't see it online for download ??
The book price has increased from $49 to $79, so if you
bought it for $49, then it's worth it. I have it too.
The book doesn't make you fluent in EL in no way, it just
builds your understanding of Easylanguage.
This is what happened (I believe...) :
I purchased the book on 8/23 online. waited for 2 weeks and went back online. The book was "no longer available (or something along the lines of that.)
I called to get teh status of the order and wondered why it was unavailable. They said the new one was coming out. (the boot camp one for $79.00.
So they made the one I paid for free is what I am guessing. Unless I am mistaking the 2 books....
Anyway, I got refunded today when I called up so all is well. I will just do what I can with what I have and it should be enough for what I have planned.
Yes, you are mistaking books, and older version never
available for free, but to those joined at paid tradestation
seminar i guess
