Hi Mario, Unfortunately this is not available at this time. The idea of a permanent chat room for guests is something we will also not allow due to the possibility of abuse and spam. Thanks.

Ive replaced the original file in the first post with this one. Thanks.

Thanks Harlequin, the file has been added.

Hi Tams, Its been added. Thanks for letting me know. Would you happen to have multicharts file extension image I could use for the attachment icon?

Hey bf, Ichimoku is a common term that comes about on the media, analysts, trading desks, etc... Bloomberg analysts like to resort to Ichimoku TA on their programs. (Bloomberg TV Japan was terminated recently btw.. entire department got fired) To be honest, I have no clue how this is being used. Its a simple S&R tool based on the clouds... I played around with it once almost 2 years ago and I found it a big waste of chart space.

Research reports received courtesy of CME Group to be posted on TL. Enjoy! -Leveraged ETFs verse Futures: Where is the Missing Performance? Leveraged ETFs have garnered plenty of attention of late, for a couple of reasons: They provide an alternative way for investors to deploy leverage in their investment portfolio. They also provide investors a way to “short” the market, either as a hedging or speculative tool. One of the knocks on leveraged ETFs is the observation that they tend to underperform their respective indexes (after adjusting for their leverage level). In this article, we highlight one very important source of the under-performance, and discuss some possible remedies using equity index futures and options. -Improving Order Execution: The Ascent of E-mini Equity Index Futures and What it Means for your Bottom Line The desire to effectively leverage the growth of E-mini futures has many clients asking, “Do I have the right order placement and/or execution strategy for today’s market?” The appropriate order placement strategy, of course, depends on the customer’s trading and risk-management goals, which can be unique to their circumstances. To help market participants’ identify their optimal execution strategy, we have compiled a comprehensive, quantitative review of our executed orders. Specifically, we examined: • Distribution of Original Orders’ Sizes • Speed of Execution • Market Impact Costs • Changes in E-mini Volume and Open Interest over the Last Five Years Leveraged_ETFs.pdf EQ221_OrderAnalysis0309.pdf

Please post in the indicator forum is possible. Thanks!

Blu Ray has posted an .leld format here.

Hi Programmer, Okay I have disabled that system and will look into the looping. Could you try one last time please?

Hi programmer, that is just a 10 second warning system. I implemented the warning message because many members were posting requests in that forum. The bar to proceed should popup in ten seconds after you hit new thread. Could you give it a try? PS: please remember to post a screenshot attached to the forum system. Otherwise your indicator will not appear on the homepage. Thanks!

Hi, could you please post this as an eld or txt format with a screenshot in the indicator forum? I would like other members to be able to find this as the coding forum is meant for coding request and help. Would appreciate it. Thanks.

Nice Chad, Ichimoku is big amongst Japanese traders. Never understood this indicator nor have I seen it that often amongst US/UK traders. Im sure it many would appreciate you building this

Hi Tams, Okay figured out what the problem was. The indicator forum is built to fetch images that are attached. So if there are no screenshots of images attached using the attachment manager, it will not show on the homepage. I have saved your image and then attached it to the post. It now appears on the homepage. Thanks Tams, James

Hi Tams, Thanks for the patience. This has been fixed over the weekend and should be working fine now. James

Hi Tams, Im going to consult my programmer regarding this. Will get back to you shortly. Thanks for the notice.

The cheapest commission to date in Japan is provided by Click Securities at 96JPY RT for the mini Nikkei and 700JPY for the big. Unfortunately I do not see any english support or platform available. Also I noticed that Interactive Brokers no longer open accounts for Japanese citizens... apparently our regulatory agency gave them alot of crap for taking local clients. IB needs to establish a branch in Japan before accepting any new clients... is what I hear from my sources.

Okay, this issue has been fixed. Thanks again for the notice.

Thanks bf, found out whats causing it. The new moderation system is having some compatibility issues so have disabled it until I figure out whats wrong.

Updates April 21st, 2009 We have just about finished development after many long hours. Here is a description of the new system. It keeps track of who reported which post Prevent same user reporting same post twice Displays number of times post has been reported, either right besides the report icon, or on the left hand side of the postbit Once a post has been edited, the 'edited by' text is replaced with 'MODERATED +' text wich is clicked on open a lightbox with the moderation info. It also provides the post creator to appeal the moderation ruling by clicking a button. If an icon id has been set via the product settings, a new thread icon will be placed for the report thread to indicate it has been dealt with. Once the appeal button is clicked, a new thread is created in a specific forum. This new thread simply states which user is appealing which post This new appeal post has an appeal status which if clicked on by mods with edit right on the reported post (including supermods/admins), opens A lightbox with an option to change the appeal status to 'denied' or 'approved'. There is also an option via the product settings to display a status image overlay on top of the post message text I will be testing this system in the next few days. There are a few more tweaks needed and will look to implement this by next week. Thank you.

Hi Tams, Ive fixed this. I hope its okay. I appreciate the patience.
