  1. volume... without broad participation, there will be no follow through
  2. if you don't need intuition, you won't have a subconscious mind. some people don't.
  3. there are busy traders (daytraders, scalpers), and there are easy traders (3-4 days swing traders, option traders, overnight stock traders, etc.) Busy traders are the high concentration traders -- they are focused during the market hours -- they don't have time to talk, and they don't want to socialize with strangers because they are a distraction. Most importantly, they don't want/need people gawking over their shoulders. 6000 ft is a lot of space... you can easily divide it into quiet trading spaces, and BS trading spaces, seminar space, or even a workout space, etc., But seriously... I don't see how this can work. Here are my 2c... 1. most wannabe start out traders are under capitalized... they can't even afford proper software, let alone pay your rent. 2.most serious traders want to trade... not hang out. if you are offering space, it is not going to be an attractive proposition, because space is not a problem to most traders... all they need is a small desk at the corner of their home. to make it viable, you have to offer value-add that traders cannot readily obtain elsewhere or otherwise. let's run through a quick list of what a trader can use... (not a comprehensive list) 1. computer/LCD? You don't want to get into the IT equipment rental/maintenance business. 2. FO internet, datafeed, bloomberg, reuters? used to be a precious commodity 10 years ago... but anybody who wants it can get it now. 3. software? well... everybody wants to play with that $10,000/month artificial intelligence all mighty pattern recognition software. Are you going to have that in house? 4. tutor/mentor? those who have arrived don't need it. Those who needs it can't afford it. This is an area where you can provide value add. 5. as a resource center with video, books, seminars, workshops, etc.,? maybe an attraction Finally, your proposition has to be pervasive enough to motivate people (especially experienced and profitable traders) to travel from all over the city, beating traffic both ways, to your office. I take up trading because I don't want to travel to an office !!! .
  4. I know a few members are located in UK (or Europe)... just look at the box on the right hand side of the post, you can see their location. If you start a thread, I am sure it will get the ball rolling.
  5. you can do it yourself... just click on "Edit Settings" at the top right column of the 1st post.
  6. don't just say "many thanks". this is not primary school, you don't say "thanks" because your teacher told you to. people have made effort and spent time investigating your problem, testing out solutions, and taking the time to make a post to explain the workaround for you. the least you can do is letting people know whether this has solved your problem. just my 2c
  7. Internet is the medium... we know for many years that it is replacing the newspaper, radio, fax, telex, telephone, courier, the dictionary, the library, the encyclopedia... today, even email is at risk ! People are transitioning to FaceBook and Twitter ! change we must... we must change James: I applaud you of new ideas... a constant stream of new ideas. I would say... whatever idea it is, go for it. This is where good people meet, This is where good people connect, This is where thoughts are exchanged and progress made. TL can be the enabler You can make this the medium where people CAN meet and connect, and prosper. Go for it !

  10. I will start with a cliche... The Trend is Your Friend
  11. >Is it freewere? NO can you get it free? YES if you have an account with brokers that offer it
  12. MT4 is a language EasyLanguage is a language MT4 programs read MT4 indicators EasyLanguage programs read EasyLanguage indicators MT4 programs cannot read EasyLanguage indicators EasyLanguage programs cannot read MT4 indicators Hope this helps
  13. if you amend this code to the indicator in the previous post, your file log will get an automatic filename in this format: symbolname-YYYYMMDDhhmm e.g.: ESZ9-200910221313 i.e. you can have this code in any indicators, in any chart, with any symbol... your log files will be given a different name automatically. // Scan Print (for use in scanner) // version: beta 0.2 // Author: TAMS // License: public use // // this indicator is for demonstration purpose only // // Description: // this indicator scans the last bar on the chart, // if the close is higher than previous bar's high, // it will make a printout to // a) the Output log window, // b) the printer, or // c) a file. // // see this thread for discussion // http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/scan-print-6194.html // Input: Send.to.Log(true), Send.to.printer(false), Send.to.file(false); var: File.name("c:\docs\scan_print.txt"); {========== end of variables ==========} {---------- auto filename ----------} if currentbar = 1 then File.name = "c:\docs\" + getsymbolname +"-" + numtostr(currentdate+19000000,0) + numtostr(currenttime,0) + ".txt"; {---------- end of auto filename ----------} if time <> time[1] then begin if c > h[1] then begin if Send.to.Log then print(NumToStr(date+19000000,0), " C>H[1] " + getsymbolname); if Send.to.printer then print(printer, NumToStr(date+19000000,0), " C>H[1] " + getsymbolname); if Send.to.file then Fileappend(file.name, NumToStr(date+19000000,0) + " C>H[1] " + getsymbolname + newline); end; end;
  14. this is free with account FOREX Trading Software, Advanced Charts for FOREX Trading, Free FOREX Data Included
  15. Blue-Ray: You need to enter the following information in the Settings Page: Name of Platform: TradeStation Version: EasyLanguage BlackEagle: ELD stands for EasyLanguage Document. EasyLanguage is used by TradeStation, MultiCharts, plus... to a limited extend, OpenEcry, TraderStudio, etc.,
  16. didn't Darwin say something like that?
  17. MultiCharts allows you to export data in 2 ways: 1. Use File > Export, it will export every data point (price and indicators) of every bar of a selected chart to a text file. 2. Use EasyLanguage Print command in your indicator. see these threads for discussions: Print (EasyLanguage) http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f56/print-easylanguage-6000.html Scan Print http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/scan-print-6194.html
  18. the error is here just remove the stop below: p.s. 1. as Blue-Ray suggested, you should super-impose the price bar, BB, and indicators to see if the triggers are firing at the right places. 2. use the code box when posting codes. See the little "mountain" icon at the top of the message window. 3. always acknowledge helps people rendered you. You have 2 previous threads that you have not responded.
  19. do you have this code in an indicator? if not, change the following code: if Tradeline< Lowerband then Buy next bar at Lowerband stop; if Tradeline> Upperband then Sellshort next bar upperband stop; to if Tradeline< Lowerband then plot10(Lowerband, "B-Lowerband"); if Tradeline> Upperband then plot10(upperband, "S-upperband"); set the plot type to a large dot... you should be able to see if your logic is firing.
  20. look up IntrabarOrderGeneration
  21. read post#3 again. you might have missed my edit.
  22. I see what you mean I think it is the symbol... the search engine is not sensitive to the symbol. I found the same problem with Google... there must be a way to search $ as well.
  23. no, I am a bot. :-) with a $ in front? sorry...even Google can't help you. :-(
