i am teling that the indicator you guys see in the youtube-film is working on
LIVE FEED only and the guy in the films admits it saying

" i have turned on the pc at 9am this morning it takes a while for
the indicator to plot because it only works on live feed "

i am talking about EOT's indicator and can not recall i have spoken about what can or can not be done by tradestation or
any other software

no DLL no nothing just plain simple calcuations just as we are trying to skript here

I may be misreading you flyingdutchmen, but executing from a DLL does not necessarily imply they must be using historical data. As you have pointed out the EOT indicator appears to require live data yet, this does not suggests a DLL is not being used. A DLL is often used to add functionality beyond the scope of EasyLanguage. I'm wondering if they are accessing Time&Sales information - their own version of the Time and Sales window found in TS - and pass this to their indicator. But this is pure speculation.

re historical data for fields TS doesn't keep
you can always harvest the data off each day to SQL server to build up a tick level backtesting database.
Alternatively, for these short time frames, forget backtesting and just forward test several variants of a system- sizing cautiously of course... the comparative costs are surprisingly near equivalent

I know very little about programnning but can tell you that the Volume Splitter by EOT works as well on TS as it does on Ninja. This may be a very obvious comment at this point and if it is I do apologize for the ignorance of this post, From a non-program person, it seems as if some are saying that this indicator cannot be produced for TS? Yet, EOT does provide it for TS, Ninja and I believe E-signal as well.

So, let's recapitulate. After nine pages of discussion, it looks like we still don't know what the folks in the videos of the first post were doing. I've tried to use the code that was posted on previous pages, but the resulting indicators were blank or simply drew a straight line, even though they verified successfully. (not sure why that would be).

swansjr, your post in permalink #23 from May first was pretty darn good---modifying the bid/ask pressure indicator. Can you share with us how that works?

[flyingdutchmen]

indeed the way it looks sofar
is that we have various posters here im tread claiming it can be
done; some even say it is "easy" yet untill today after 9 pages
we have not succeed to make a replica of the dumb/smart-money
indicator nor did we even come close
and yes i have also not succeed

Yes, it's interesting how some people say this is easy. Yet, I don't see any working code. That's how easy it is.

TradeStaton does not allow access of Time&Sales via EasyLanguage. So, it seems to me you either have to derive approximations of Time&Sales via clever programming or someone has written a DLL to access Time&Sales within the tradestation data stream.

Anyway, here is my only attempt. It’s far from working like the EOT indicator. Occasionally it’s spot-on showing yet, other times it is dead wrong.

Thanks for posting it up swan! I'll play with it and see if I can make any appreciable changes for the better!
