Here is the API documentation file. Simon apichm.zip

Hi All, Had some time today to look into this project. After finding out the opentick no longer provides their api services to anyone. I have decided to base this project using openecry API feed as I already have an account with them. The first step is to find out what their API can do by checking out their documentation and sample software. After that I will start construction of the database on a Microsoft 2008 SQL Server. Good trading to you all. Regards Simon

The company that I was looking for was named opentick.com but they have closed their business down. Regards Simon

Here is an updated version of the chart. Regards Simon

I see what I can do, but this may take a week.

Hi All, I'm starting this thread, it is going to be based on open source licence. The aim of this application project is to produce software that will record hourly price of instruments into a MS Sql server. This server can be sitting locally or somewhere else via the web, you can then use .NET xml technologies to retrieve information. The first part of the project is to find out a cheap or free hourly market data provider that has an API feed. What are the advantages of this kind of application? Well for all you system builders out there, You can then develop other applications that can utilize the information and build systems with your formulas and strategies that your third party applications cannot provide. After we will find the right market data source. We will then get into developing the database structure. I will post SQL files here so you can create your own databases. At this stage I am only interested in 1hour timeframe so that will be the focus for this project but you can change that to suit any other time frame. The last part of the project is to develop using vb.net a small application that will utilize the market data API feed and record new bar information into the database. The information that I want to record is OPEN, CLOSE, HIGH and LOW for multiple instruments, with an update feature in case the comptuer has been switched off for a number of hours. I am willing to provide a MS 2008 database that will have web access available but only to those people that will assist me in this project. I will build a .NET web query xml page where you can utilize this information for yourself and your other projects. By having multiple clients talking to the database server, no matter what machine is switched off the database is constantly being updated from all those other machines that are switched on. By helping you have a choice to utilise this information for your own projects. I hope this makes sense. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me. Regards Simon

Hi Blowfish, Thanks for your reply. I think that is a great idea extening those zones to the next areas. Let me know when you can post some pics of these new zones. I am going to be setting up my trading workstation this week, so hopefully I am going to get my PL dots up and fully running. Regards Simon

Hi Blowfish, Do you mind sharing your version of the zones, maybe post some pics. I am curious. Regards Simon

Thanks for that link, I had a look at it and have not gone that far in the course. I am still programming the first part of the course into multicharts. I like these concepts in the pdf but will have to be patient and wait until I finish programming everything else before I get to this part. I have provided a direct link for other Drummond Geometry followers maybe they will have some answers. http://drummondgeometry.com/docs/pdf/new_concepts.pdf Regards Simon

The 5 and 6 lines are very important in Drummond Geometry, especially when you look from the higher times frames. The most important concept is if they are holding or breaking (Yes or No pattern). I have not put them on my last chart, I use Multicharts as my charting software if you look at some of my earlier posts in this thread you will see the 5/6 lines there. Regards Simon

So you want to be a trader? :crap: Million Dollar Traders - Part 1 BBC2 - 12 January 2009 1/3 - Make Me a Trader This series involves eight novices of various ages and backgrounds who are trained up as traders and given real money to invest. As luck would have it, the show was filmed last summer during the most volatile stock-market activity in years, so for the newcomers it's like taking their first sailing lesson on the day of a hurricane. The programme gets across the psychological pressures of the job brilliantly. "The biggest battle is with your own mind," reflects Emil, a Toxteth fight promoter who takes to trading like a duck to (stormy) water. Amid the talk of "pairs trades" and "shorting on the open", there's the strong sense that share-juggling with other people's money is dramatically harder and more stressful than you might imagine. http://rapidshare.com/files/239677990/Million.Dollar.Traders.E1.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/239691735/Million.Dollar.Traders.E1.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/239694621/Million.Dollar.Traders.E1.part3.rar Enjoy, Regards Simon PS.

Hi All, Here is a crude chart of the daily AUD/USD with the large time frame PL Dots. There is a high probability that it will return to the monthly or quarterly PL Dots. Your views will be welcome. Regards Simon

Hi All, I have returned to Australia from my 18 months holiday since then. Thanks for your time. Simon

Hi All, A few months ago I found a company offering market data with a microsoft .net api feed for developing software. But I lost the link and do not remember the name of the company that was offering this service. Does anybody know the name of the company or their link? Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards Simon

Hi Angel, the indicators that I developed are for TS Multicharts, I am going to put more effort and upgrade my ram on my computer, it looks like my computer is a bit too slow with 1meg ram on it, so I am going to get a brand new computer with a lot of horse power and attach four monitors as I developed other software that I use with Drummond Geometry. This is good because my other software calculates time and price points in future, combine this with Drummond Geometry methodology just gold. Simon good trading to you all.

Hi Ryan, Thanks for your reply. Yes, you are totally right, when I started this thread I was not sure if anyone understood me that is why I wrote it that way. Simon

I think the ultimate way is to take your laptop and satellite internet connection to the cave where you can trade while you are meditating. Therefore any personality issues can be addressed very quickly and transmuted thus becoming one with the markets. :helloooo: Regards Simon

Hi TraderXMan, I was referring to lesson 11,12,13,14. Trend Runs, Congestion Entrance, Congestion Action and Congestion Exit once you go into congestion entrance that is where you setup the dotted line and the block level. I have created a indicator for the the trend run, congestion entrance and congestion action. Have a look at the attachment. Simon

Hi Guys, To all those traders that are using Drummond for their trading is anyone of you have developed an indicator for the Trend Run, Trend Congestion Entrance, Congestion Action and Exit. Can somone post a picture of your charts with that indicator on. Thanks Simon

Hi Blowfish, Thanks for your help. I have setup my charts with most of the Drummond information, I am sure the coding can be improved but for now, it looks very good to me. To all those people who are reading this thread - there is a lot of information on this chart and probably confusing, but if you studied Drummond Geometry it will all make sense. Good Trading to all. Simon

Hi Blowfish, Thanks for the chart. Simon

OK Next Question to all Drummond Geometry traders. I am trying to program in Multicharts the Hi and Low 11 Zones. Can someone post a chart of yesterdays CME EUR currency 10Min with the High and Low 1-1 zones on it. Need to check if my formula is correct. Simon

Hi Blowfish, OK I have played and played, this is the best I can come up with. It looks good to me. There are four time frames on this one, the dark red(brown) is the daily with the live dot as the white line. Next I am going to put in the RU and Su zones from the 1 hourly and daily followed by the 6s and 5s points. Simon
