  1. It does help quite a bit clmac. Thank you for the detailed commentary. I enjoy Dalton's books but was curious if there was anything out there that discussed more tactical uses of the profile, and was updated to incorporate the increased activity in the 24hr markets, etc.
  2. Has anyone else read PRACTICAL TRADING APPLICATIONS OF MARKET PROFILE that can comment on it's utility?
  3. if you don't mind me asking, how do you apply it (if at all) to currencies?
  4. That's why many people keep both profiles up at the same time.
  5. Hello, I am looking for recommendations for books with EasyLanguage examples. I have many of the EL reference books which provide the correct syntax, etc., but read much like dictionaries. As a non-programmer, what I feel I really need are specific examples of code that I can modify to suit my needs. I.e., I am not looking for books to give me winning strategies per se, but books that provide examples of code already written in EL for a variety of strategies, that I can use to ensure that I am using proper logic, etc. (One example is that I would like to look at two-timeframes - where there is increasing momentum after a low-adx period on the higher timeframe, and perhaps an ema-based entry on the lower timeframe. I know what I want to code, and I know it can be done in EL, but I need examples to pull from specifically in EL to understand how to do it correctly.) With that in mind, can anyone recommend one or two books to get me started? Much appreciated!
  6. Oh cool...didn't know about that 'tomorrow' syntax. I assumed you couldn't look forward that way in the code. Thanks!
  7. I found that the answer was to set the intrabarordergeneration flag to 'true'. On a daily chart, this would send the order for the 'next bar', on the first tick after the open, which is close enough. Thanks!
  8. Just to have some closure on this topic, I found that it was much easier than I could of possibly imagined. 1 - open chart with desired timeframe and set amount of data to view 2 - open Data Window 3 - save End of story. Open with Excel or another other favorite data massaging program and enjoy.
  9. Hello, I am playing around with a simple gap strategy to learn basic EL and was wondering if it was possible to assess the gap condition, then buy or sell the market at open, when the opening price was a condition to be evaluated? It looks like TS will only let me buy/sell the NEXT bar, which doesn't work on a daily chart when I am trying to look at a particular condition to buy/sell THAT bar at the open. In layman's terms: I look at yesterday's close relative to that day's range, then I look at today's open relative to yesterday's close, then I want to buy or sell today's open based on a condition. Hope that makes sense. I basically want to 'buy/sell this bar at open' on a daily chart, and don't seem to have that option ? Any help would be appreciated.
  10. Ok, thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. At least I know I'm not overlooking something simple so I guess it's time to dust off the old EL manual. Thanks again.
  11. Yeah, I know it's possible in TS but was hoping for a simpler solution than spending three days trying to write code. Seems like it should be easier than it was when I attempted to code it last time. Anyway, thanks for the input, I have a feeling I'm going to have to just slug through the coding again. Sad thing is, I received more responses here than I did in the TS forums! Anyway, thanks again for the replies. I'll post a follow up if I can get it to work.
  12. I've gone through that presentation and it seems to basically just describe the canned strategies you can use in TS. Unless it's just my limited knowledge of EL that's keeping me from seeing something else in there.
  13. Hello, I am currently a TS user and trying to develop code to pull out statistics on when the highs and lows of the day occurred, and to play with some Market Profile studies such as the IB, the range for the day, and how it relates to the IB, etc. You get the idea. My question is...is it possible to mine this data from TS, or is the data already out there somewhere and accessible, or is another tool preferable to do this kind of research?? Thanks in advance for any input!
