Tams

Because SP is pit traded, with real human being screaming at each other. In the evening, these people go home to their wives and kids.

the volume behavior can give you a hint.

you have to add some annotations on the chart, with arrows pointing to the key features you are talking about. Otherwise it is just a guess-watchamean game.

MultiCharts is very capable with multiple time frames. You can even have "time" and "non-time" based resolutions in the same chart. e.g. one data series in 5 min resolution while another data series in constant volume bars. However MultiCharts cannot "cross-talk" between charts. You will need a 3rd party add-on to handle the communication (GV, ADE, etc.,) , and the process is complicated.

if you rollover on open of Thursday, the ESZ9 price was 1028.00.

traders.com has articles with source codes in different languages. you can easily compare the complexity of one programming language with another.

so much for the free HSI data

I remember someone wrote an EasyLanguage program that can extract calendar items in a text file and print it on the chart. e.g. if the text file has an item that says 20090911, 955, Consumer Sentiment, it will go to the chart and print "Consumer Sentiment" on 20090911 at 9:55am. I think he manually prepare the text file, it would sure save a lot of time if it is available ready made.

The thread title is automatically formatted as 1st letter in upper case, and all the remaining letters in lower case. It is not possible to make all caps when needed. e.g. Arsi should be ARSI http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/arsi-6725.html Ttm should be TTM http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f56/ttm-confirmation-dots-6762.html

you can take a look at one of the clones and see how its done. the search button is at the top right corner of this page.

I am very happy to help anyone who wants to help himself. Make sure you have downloaded and read the free manuals, there are lots of useful examples in those pages. p.s. I give more help to people who contribute to this TradersLaboratory community.

can you post an alternative? TIA

for those for who are willing to play hide and seek, with a cute mixture of silliness, mock arrogance, and potential bigotry, the answer is YES.

Rollover Day is on Thursday 10 September 2009 Because of the long weekend... the rollover seems early, but actually it is no different from any other contract month. ;-) http://www.mypivots.com/articles/articles.aspx?artnum=10

There is no rectangle or triangle or circle in the EasyLanguage arsenal. You can build triangles and rectangles with TL_NEW. p.s. there might be some functions out there to speed up the drawings... I will let you know if I come across one.

next time tell us what you have tried... so that you don't waste people's time.

I can answer questions, but I can't write the code for you, ...unless you make a US$500 contribution to this charity: Room to Read http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/charity/ .

then you have to add a counter to keep track of your daily profits. or reset the strategy every morning. ;-)

have you tried coding it ??? this is similar in concept to your time question. var: profit.target(200); if netprofit < profit.taget then begin

oops............................

the dot is only a plot format. go to Format Study under the Style section, select type.

can't read your mind... you have not described what you want to do, nor have you illustrated what you want in your chart. what does your chart illustrate ? -- what you want to do? or, -- what the code is doing, but not what you want? suggestion: use the Paint program to write some note on it, and to draw some lines and arrows to point to exactly where you want your "highlights". one of the biggest stumbling block people encounter in programming is --- they have not articulated WHAT they want to do before they start coding. i.e. you must have clarity in what you want before you can instruct the computer to do what you want. my suggestion -- follow these steps religiously : 1. write out your logic one step at a time, 2. write out your logic one thought at a time 3. write out your thoughts one action at a time 4. write out your actions ONE LINE AT A TIME you will see yourself much clearer this way.

sorry... i have no access to that web.

In all seriousness, C# is a powerful language, with lots of "accessories", bells and whistles. There are lots of free resources on the web, and a large and supportive community. Most importantly, C# is supported by more trading/charting software than any other languages, your investment in learning this language will not go unused. If you feel you are at the limit of EasyLanguage, I think C# is the obvious choice for the next level of trading programming.

hell no, let the sucker suffer. he will soon learn...LOL
