go to your chart... click on your trendline... hold down the mouse... and DRAG the line away. what do you see? do you see another line there? .

First thing first... the picture above is for PLOT, not trendline.

if you have never taken a course in programming... I would suggest you to check out EasyLanguage. Google for EasyLanguage... you will find lots of learning resources and program examples for free download.

can you post the code?

the only reason people trade pairs instead of futures is because they believe they can have an advantage in doing so... there is no free lunch... sad, but true.

Not everybody has access to TradeStation's forum. If it's worth reading... a duplicate is appreciated.

not sure if I understand what you mean.

The best place to learn trading is the discussion forum. You can ask questions about an unfolding event, you can get feedback in real time. The worst place to learn trading is also the discussion forum. There are gems within the posts... There are also half truths and outright delusions. It is difficult, if not impossible, for a newbie to sort out which is useful, and which is not. One good thing about TradersLaboratory is that you can gauge the value of a post by the "Thanks" it has given by its readers. In this information-overload age... the "Thanks" rating is not only an indispensable time saver, it might also save your sanity and capital.

Correct on both counts ! If you encounter any problem, just post the code AND the error messages here, and we will try to fix it for you.

;-) ...................... Thanks for the compliment !

very interesting.... can you post a chart(or whatever illustration) showing such workout?

I see some arrows and lines... but I am not sure if I understand your message. You will need to write some notes on the chart... e.g. this is xxx I want to see xxx over there this is how i want to see xxxx ( a mock up ) to avoid OT.... you might want to start a new thread in the coding forum.

you can use ADE to pass variables between charts of any kind (low res to high res). but I am not sure if I understand your intention. can you post a diagram to illustrate the data flow? http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/ade-all-data-everywhere-easylanguage-5934.html

I repeat... for all the non-programmers, all the people who has not taken at least one computer course at high school or university... please, please, please, stick with EasyLanguage. if you don't know what it is, Google for it. if you don't know who supports it, Google for it. if you need an indicator in EasyLanguage, Google for it. many people gave lots of "good" intentioned advices... feel free to take a detour if you must.

no, I am not a poker player... don't ask me why I have the book... I have to dig it up from the basement and read it now. yes... I would be interested in an early peek of your next work... but I am still working on this one...

I know that book... I have a copy somewhere... let me see...

I almost gave you a recommendation... until I saw your last line... No sir... this is NOT an alternative. You will be a contributor, not an extractor... for a LONG LONG TIME... if you have not reached the stage to answer this question.

can you enlighten us with a chart?

Some programs would use an algorithm to mimic intra-bar price fluctuation, you can get intra-bar order fill, but the price is simulated. (ie. somewhere in between the high of the bar and the low of the bar.)

Someone sent me the above question, I thought I should post the answer here for the benefit of all. MultiCharts has a feature called "Bar-Magnifier". TradeStation calls it Look-Inside-Bar-Backtesting (LIBB). MultiCharts/TradeStation lets you add a second data stream for backtesting. For example if your strategy is to work on a daily chart. You can add a finer resolution 2nd data stream (eg 5min) to the backtesting, thus allowing the program to calculate your strategy rules and fill orders at intrabar prices, as if in real life trading.
