Where to Find Web Based Futures Charts?
Harlequin replied to Dinerotrader's topic in Beginners Forum
Futures exchanges usually charge data fees, these are not passed on by most brokers but if you just want real time futures data Barchart Real-Time Data Services is one option but it is not free. -
Backtesting Morning Range Breakout Using Excel VBA
Harlequin replied to pmsinc's topic in Automated Trading
Does anyone have EL code for opening range breakout that works in MultiCharts? I couldn't find anything with Google but it feels like reinventing the wheel writing it from scratch. -
Do you mean when you post? If so under "Miscellaneous Options" there is the option "Disable smilies in text"

I stay away from breakouts on the ES. Buying pull backs and selling rallies is working much better for me.

In my experience I would say pivots act as support and resistance. However that may cause a bounce or just a consolidation before continuation. Coming up with a successful strategy to trade pivots will not be easy. IMO Tams gave good advice, observe what happens at pivots and you can learn a lot about the market action of the day.

PowerLanguage/EL How to Recalculate at Session Close
Harlequin replied to Harlequin's topic in Coding Forum
Thanks for help. Looks like Sess1StartTime is what I need to use, I'm just having a problem making a loop which increments each every day at that time. I'll search for that thread on Globex high/lows and see what I can find. Cheers. -
I currently use if Date <> Date[1] then begin to get an indicator to update at the end of each day, but that means I have to wait to midnight for values to be updated. I'm trying to get this to happen at 4:30PM when Globex reopens. Is there any way of using the session end time instead?

Why didn't I think of that:doh: PLEditor_129.zip

I would upload it but .ico is not an allowed file type.

Welcome. Corn is great place to start with futures. I wouldn't recommend currency futures for a small account, maybe the minis but I'm not sure about the liquidity. Good luck. -
The SP and ES can never get far away from each other as there are many arbitrage traders. They work in pairs communicating with radio head sets, one in the pit and the other sat in an office with electronic access. Mainly they are just looking to get the 5 cents offered in the different tick sizes. Eg. buy 827.70 in the pit and sell 5x as many at 827.75 in the emini. As Ben so succinctly puts it "picking up nickels in front of a steamroller". It's difficult to which leads the other as action in one will always be followed by the other. So I think they take turns depending on where the big players choose to strike. I used Traders Audio for a long time and learned a lot about how trading works from Ben's commentary. The trading style I use now means I now longer use it but it was a valuable part of my education.

Yes that's where I found it. Getting bored this weekend and as I know nothing about Gann so I thought I'd do a little research. But I'm not paying $437 for a Gann wheel Lambert - Gann Publishing Company : The Official and Complete Source for W. D. Gann's Work, Trading Resources and Supplies. :haha: Thanks for your help.
