HAL9000

Why? If no one can rebuild your system, why you share it? If a retail trader without a T1 or higher don't gets your data, what should s/he do with your information (better: data)? What about the things you don't like to name? Once more: Why?

Really? Message is too short so far. Anyway, just for fun: Hal P.S: Am I so stone old: HAL what does it stand for? :helloooo:

Some more, just simple questions: Do you know a data vendor, that sends transaction data real time, as far as possible? You know, transaction for transaction under real time constraints? (Or in other words for newbies: Nearly to BOOM!) Another question, which data vendor do you use? Do you use a T1? If not, what do you use? Hal :question:

Maybe that's the point. One year ago, maybe I would said: "Damn, give me your calculation, if you show me your your charts"! Today: "I accept the given!" You, start a thinking process. I think. Maybe, my conclusion is different (not right, or wrong, just different), but anyway, its about thinking. Think! OK; P.S. for now: "There are a thousand ways to scalp a cat!" and sometimes I am the cat. :crap: Hopefully, not more often, than not! THINK! Lost contact for now, Hal P.S.: What does Hal stand for, BTW?

Well, regarding your definition; for me is a definition, whatsoever defines a calculation that leads to a defined result. So if persons a, b, c would use this definition, they should have the same result. Just to clarify this. I am still interested. :beer:

Urma, well, maybe you gave me not a definition, but I agree with you in some point. Let me explain; well some people like tape reading. You know, if nothing works, just read the tape. But I am a poor (proud customer) of IB. They sample 300 ms frames and you are not able to see spikes at all. But they have 5 sec bars, which should be exact. Yes a 5 sec bar is also in addition 1 sec late. Anyway, these 5 sec bars seem to show me the following (I have implemented a 5 sec bar tape reader :crap:): Watching corn and other things, 5 sec -> 130 contracts -> 60 trades and so on. Or in other words: No big volume on a single transaction. Now I am asking myself, what are all these data vendors worth, when they show up 100 or more contracts on a single trade? I wonder. Are they sampling the data as well? Currently I would draw my conclusion this way: Transaction size may be hidden. Volume stays. Maybe because of many "small" trades tick charts work!? So now, what's your view?

Hi, so I would like to ask you, what in fact, is your definition for the description of commercial traders?

Hi Brown, I will join in too, like on CG Anyway, give me some minutes or a day, but from my side its still simulation, just that you know that upfront. I am not proud of it, because I am behind my time table ( right!? ). Anyway, its a good idea, maybe you or somebody else sees, what my problems are. Some I already know, but ... Lets have some fun. Ryan

Hi Logan and Walter, its just my guess, but I see two reasons. 1) Yellow is still above green. 2) Black is still above magenta. So for me, acting on the M1 5 CCI would be more than aggressive. Again, its just my guess, and now its up to Walter.

Hi, actually I don't intended to post a reply. But now I do. When I turned to futures, I discovered Woodie, I learned something about Money Management there (from others) and about the CCI. I will not judge about Woodie, I also don't know, if his system works, or not. I have tried to back test his patterns (with no success, maybe my fault). Well, some time ago; I got many, many emails to buy Woodies DVD's, that's why I understand Brown. But in fact, I think, I understand all of you. My personal opinion about Woodies strategies is, that he prays to ignore price, but isn't the CCI an oscillator? And what is an oscillator? Anyway, the CCI is useful, and even Woodies CCI might be (more) useful, if someone uses it right (within the right context). Lets just talk about the indicator (tool) here. PEACE P.S.: It is an OT here, but I trusted Bolze (I never was a client of him). Do you have heard about him? And now I stay quiet on OT's and Woodie.

Hi BF, you said: For example, I have been trying to build up the guided missiles. My expression is so far, and I've attacked no one yet, so maybe I'm wrong, that Guided Missiles make only sense, if you already own all cheaper things. It seems to me, that behind the names and pictures are only Attack and/or Defence Bonus points that a player buys. How much investing will be in Attack and/or Defence is a strategic/tactic deccission. But you basically should make your investment after looking at Cost / Bonus point. Seeing it this way, one should buy the simple weapons first, as much you are allowed to buy. OK, enough for now, I will focus now on buying more defensive weapons, because of NukeVille (got one (10) hit already and lost). Tomorrow might be time for my revenge. See you, Hal

Oh well, micro scalping, noise, well I myself haven't made a final decision, so micro scalping would be OK for me, but I think if you do it, you should do it using a machine, an automated system. But initially I started to write this, just because of the commissions. What do you pay, hopefully less than one tick? Otherwise look for a new broker or lease a seat. Just one more thought, try the ES, but I think you will find different problems. Do it, just as an exercise. Just a last remark, this all is no offence, I understand what you would like to do and I myself have (had) similar ideas. I'm toggling between drift and noise, and currently surely more to drift. Regards, Hal

Hi Walter, well, I think that you don't know me yet, but I really like your work here (just to all others, that I don't mention here, here are a lot of very good people). Currently, I've implemented some of your ideas. So far mostly the indicators (and the developers will be remembered, thanks a lot). Anyway, while I was watching my current chart today (1000 tick, 2000 tick, it really doesn't matters), I saw a long, long flip for scalping to the short side at, lets say, 1368.00. Yes, maybe you should start a new thread. I would really appreciate it. Regards, Hal P.S.: And I have to say thank you anyway.

Hi BF, I've played A.'s Army a while ago (two years), but I would like to join your team. If I'm a not good at all, or I will just not find the time, throw my out. Anyway, I would be happy to be a part of your team. Just sent me a PM with information, how I should go on, or post it here. Regards, Hal

Maybe it was just luck today, but look at the S2 pivot (modified floor) ... Regards, Hal P.S.: Watching Mark is quiet entertaining, and yes, there is some value in it; So, thank you Ines, for sharing this!

Hi James, Januson, maybe I'm wrong, I don't use fibs yet, but regarding to the fib1 example, wouldn't it be right to place the 0 % mark at 566.20 (end of move) and the 100 % mark at 549.06 (start of move)? For example, as result the 61.8 % line should then appear below the 50 % line. Regards, Hal P.S.: Maybe my use of you in my above post is somehow misleading, and but you should try would have been better.

Well, janusson, and now draw another one 0 % at 543.00 and 100 % at 566.20 I think, that this makes the difference. 0 % is the point, where you are, 100 % where you come from. A 100 % retracement leads you back to the point where the move started, but you try to analyze it from the end of the move (i.e. start of potential retracement, 0 %). Regards, Hal

Hi januson, well, I think that fib1 is nice, but now I'm confused. But lets get serious, as I see it, lets assume you have been looking for a retracement into the 50 to 61.8 % area. Well, it failed! Thats it. So now draw one more; the 0 % line at 566.20 and the 100 % at something like 543.00. Well, what do you see? Regards, Hal

Hi Neslon, I don't know, if I understand you right. But just in case, if you have downloaded ELD files, ELD files are needed/usable for Tradestation. Anyway I don't use either, so I maybe wrong, but it is just my simple understanding. Cheers, Hal

Hello Shawn, as far as I understand this indicator (the original and this replica), I think that everything is OK. Just that you know, I don't own a license regarding the original and I don't use this replica. OK, but let me try to explain: In your first example, a red (sell) bar is plotted after some time (pivot bar). To do this, you need a trigger bar just behind it. A trigger bar is a bar with no new high behind a potential sell pivot bar. Now we need a close on a following bar lower than the low of the trigger bar without a new high, to mark the potential pivot bar as such. Hopefully this is understandable. Otherwise, try to explain your example two, and we can discuss it here. Cheers, Hal

The best one, I've read for some time! :applaud: And its also well worth to think about its content. :thumbs up: Cheers, Hal

Hi email, I agree so far. Hal P.S.: I also try to be polite. (Just in case that your post should be related to me.)

Hi Rene, I think that you will find the answer to your question here: http://www.metaquotes.net/techanalysis/indicators/accelerator_decelerator Hal

Hello James, of course you don't know me, because I'm new to this site. I read some of your posts, and somehow you are family. So I just hope that your unfortunate events are not too unfortunate and that you will be able to return soon. Regards, Hal P.S.: Maybe this is not perfect English, but I wish you all the best I can, right from my heart. The sun will shine again, but maybe, we have to wait some time until ...

Wizard, you should not google, this would be really too easy. HAL 9000 Just THINK. Regards, Hal
