  1. You are unlikely to get more detailed help here than on the TS forum. The advices on the TS forum from the likes of solidus, mmillar, Javln, goose are all good and should be followed. The whole idea of optimization is to avoid calculations that you don't need or want and be sure you don't have to do it intrabar if you can help it. That is the basis of STO (same tick optimization). When plotting text, avoid updating the same text intrabar by:

  3. It was free then CME raised it to $55 after the CBOT buy out, then they lost some volume and got some flak and they changed it back to $10. For an instrument to be succesful, they do have to attract all types of traders.
  4. This is not by ghkramer. The original author is Gregory Wood as previously posted here on TL: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f6/market-profile-trading-concepts-175.html#post12607 TS8 already has an Activitybar called Pricedistribution so normally this is not necessary for TS users. Multicharts usage: 1. Import into Power Language Editor 2. Replace all occurances of 'v[' with 'varray[' without the quotes of course and use replace all (Ctrl H) 3. Compile, apply to a chart and turn the last input option (hist, for history) from false to true.
  5. Michael Zweig, not to be confused with Martin Zweig. Martin, who once owned the most expensive apartment in NYC.
  6. I don't know where do you get your facts, and understandably no one at the Treasury or the Fed has too much credibility right now, but Paulson should have had divested himself of GS holdings back in June 2006.
  7. Not sure if sector rotation occurs intraday, that seems unlikely. Perhaps you are looking for correlation. Try this code and discussion: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/excel-help-needed-3762.html#post34620
  8. Nice call on the 40 pt ES. How about a 100 ES point day ? :o 6.01 million contracts traded 9/18/08, that is probably a record. 100 point range in ES in about 8 hours. They are probably trying to gap this up to reduce selling by the longs and force covering by the shorts.
  9. You may be looking for wake on lan instead: http://lifehacker.com/348197/access-your-computer-anytime-and-save-energy-with-wake+on+lan
  10. Progster & Swisstrader have Renko indicator and strategy for TS. Suri Duddella has them as well, however they all charge a few hundred for them. Unfortunately TS and MC do not support Renko natively. One alternative that is 'free' (advertisement supported) and supports Renko natively is Quotetracker.
  11. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&hs=7uB&q=better+volume+download+emini-watch&btnG=Search The first search result from the above google search should be it. There is a big button that says 'Free Code' on that page.
  12. It is the same as that downloadable from his site, except for the copyright notice that you left out You should just download the eld from that site if you are unable to verify the source. {***** Copyright www.Emini-Watch.com All rights reserved *****}
  13. You won't be blowing it. CME seat holders are just like any other traders, except they could deal with size. They blow up accounts just like every other trader, sometimes more spectacularly so. I would ask him/her how often do seat holders fail and how often they have to go and throw up in the bath room
  14. Welcome to the forum. What you have posted is based on the infinite impulse filter (IIF) described by John Ehlers in his 2002 article, "Zero-Lag Data Smoothers." You can just copy and paste and verify the TS code portion in that Ehlers' article. The Moving Average Triangular that is built into TS is another option if you can't get this to work.
  15. I think you are missing the point which is that the lowest risk, highest profit trades that JC and HS take are in marketing their merchandise and subscriptions. It is not in the trade setups that they market. So if you would like to learn to make money from them then do what they do (marketing) and not what they say they do (trading).
  16. Thanks fs, where do you find these things :o JC said he made annually, $40K from his book, $980K from his web merchandises and $1.2Million from his subscriptions. He acknowledged that he is no programmer, just good at powerpoints and presentations. He has found a niche and he tells a good story to newbies - he has found a very low risk way of making money in the trading business and in the video he credited most of that to the internet.
  17. Probably need to read 'Time Warp Without Space Travel' by JE again. It is always good to attribute code you copy and post. In this case, JE in the title of this thread is John Ehlers.
  18. Don't really mean to imply that the Soultrader/Ant pivot indicator is worthless. It may be more accurate to manually input the HLC because the Close value or settlement price is sometimes different from the Close you get for your instrument on a chart based on your datafeed. The most accurate settlement price will be the one you get from the exchange, such as CME. It is also arguable whether projected pivots mean anything in modern trading. They are imaginary lines that traders can choose to follow or not. It is probably more helpful to study support and resistance at natural pivots (recent highs and lows) as other threads have done, such as the ones by DBphoenix. There are many floor trader's pivot code that will extract prior HLC, the ones on TS forum are not any better than those available with a search.

  19. Not sure why this indicator is still being used. I don't believe Soultrader is using Tradestation any more and Ant is not around anymore. This indicator merely calculates the simple pivot formula based on MANUAL inputs of prior Daily HLC (High low close) and Weekly HLC. If you wish to use this indicator, please go to something like: http://www.mypivots.com/dn/ and pick the instrument of your choice and find the HLCs and fill them in manually. There are pivot indicators on the TS forum that will calculate the prior HLCs and current pivots automatically.
  20. Please try the TRO VC modification for Forex.http://kreslik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=8577
  21. The odds of BSC going bankrupt was much higher than 1 in 15 million (lottery odds) over that March weekend, it was probably closer to 1 in 5. Funny, I just realized the phrase "beware the Ides of March" suited that weekend perfectly.
  22. Unfortunately, this appears to be a planned misadventure by Georgia's president, Mikheil Saakashvili, to fulfill his election promise of taking back the seceded regions. He was counting on a lack of reponse by Russia during the Olympics - he was wrong. This is not to say that Georgia has no claims to the seceded regions, but this was a miscalculated way of trying to get them back. US and NATO should not get involve in this.

  24. Oh good, does it mix well in a cocktail? But seriously, how do you take this stuff, in a milk shake? It looks like you need to take 1.6-9.6 grams daily (2-12 pills daily).
  25. Neoticker looks interesting and Lawrence Chan writes a nice blog :http://newsletter.neoticker.com/ Flatwallet has written a good review right here on TL: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f92/re-experience-with-neoticker-3327.html#post37285 A lot of good info by Flatwallet, especially the part where you can save 33% off NeoT with the openecry offer: http://www.openecry.com/special/announcement.cfm
