I don't understand the illustration.

You are describing the concept of "Minority Control".

I regularly open 8 chart windows and 20+ charts. My CPU (quad) barely moves. Maybe you have a lot of days in your chart. p.s. tick charts uses more resources. It is best to keep the days to a minimum on tick charts.

that's because there is an error in coding: the code is adding a NEW trendline at every bar. the dotted line you see is not a dotted line... each dot is actually a trendline; if you click on the dot, you can drag the dot out and see the trendline.

This thread is about Adding Sound to your Indicator (EasyLanguage) syntax: PlaySound Plays the specified wave (.wav) sound file. Usage PlaySound("PathFilename") Where: PathFilename - a string expression specifying the path and filename of the wave file to be played Example Play ding.wav sound file located in the root directory of the C: hard drive: PlaySound("C: \ding.wav"); source: EasyLanguage manual

instead of looking for a Red Light / Green Light answer... think about the principles behind price behavior. WHY would the price bounce? if not, WHY NOT? if yes, under what circumstances will the price bounce? and under what circumstances will the price NOT bounce? if the price supposed to bounce, but did not, what message the market is sending you?

of course... the idea of open source is for people to collaborate and improve/refine. Well done! Thanks for the refinements. my notes: 1. the original code was designed for INDU:YM pair. there is a market hour difference between the 2 symbols INDU closes at 1600ET, while YM closes at 1615ET. The code checks for the first symbol's trading session, and stops plotting when that session ends. This is done to avoid the chart going haywire when only one data stream is present. Therefore is it ok to put the cash (or any symbol) as data2, so long as the sessions end at the same time. 2. on the threshold: one way to simplify it is to put a minus sign in front of the threshold: If STRSQZ > Threshold then setplotcolor (1, upcol) else If STRSQZ < -Threshold then setplotcolor (1, dncol) ... ps. nice comments and section separations in the code ps. thanks for adding the neutral color in the histogram. I noticed the error yesterday, and was going to post the corrected code today. You beat me to it. ;-)

that's the market profile code. it has been posted here on TL in numerous threads.

http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/ecalendar/index.html United States : Chairman Speech Released For 5/5/2009 10:00:00 AM Description Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testifies before Joint Economic Committee in Washington on the economic outlook. Highlights This morning, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke spoke before Joint Economic Committee in Washington on the economic outlook. In his prepared remarks, Bernanke was a little more optimistic about pending recovery – but still offered a number of caveats. Notably, he sees the recession bottoming this year with positive growth later this year. Bernanke anticipates monetary policy and fiscal stimulus eventually boosting demand. Also, he notes that recession overseas is slowing. He noted that housing sales appear to be improving due to distressed prices from foreclosures but homebuilders are still working off inventories. The Fed chair, however, warned that a relapse of financial markets could stall recovery. Bernanke still expects further sizeable job losses in coming months. On the issue of bank stress tests, he stated that banks in need of improvement must implement capital plans within six months after the stress tests.

on any sim trading... if the price trades through your order (by at least one tick), you have nothing to worry. unless you are simming a t-h-i-n product, then it might not get filled in real life.

yup, even bad codes can compile sucessfully. first, you have to be sure you have good code... then good results.

James: When uploading an indicator to the Trading Indicator forum, there is a Settings form to fill up. can you add "Others" to the list of platforms? this should be the cover-all for the ones not listed. thanks Regards TAMS

DOM -- Excel / IB Author: mikeytrader 1. This DOM uses IB feed through standard IB DDE connection. 2. Data is replaced instantly in each cell. -- The performance is good because there is no excessive calculations. 3. Left most section shows the DOM Ladder, 3 columns, price, size, accumulated size. I colored the ask side with green and the bid side with red, but only colored to the largest size in each level. This allows you to see the wall easily. The yellow color is used to show which side has the largest accumulated size. 4. Middle section, For each of the 5 levels of the DOM a Horizontal bar expands or contracts base on the corresponding size. 5. Right section, Similar to the DOM ladder on the left side, this only shows the biggest wall amongst the 5 levels of each side, plus the immediate inner pair. Instructions: 1. Save xls to hardrive 2. Launch IB 3. Make sure IB under configure>>api>>enable dde and enable active-x are turned on 4. Open xls; when prompted to "update" just say no 5. type in your IB user id in cell B47 and make sure B48 is the current contract and hit enter 6. save the xls 7. click on the setup button 8. ib data should start to update. The next time you open the xls you can chose "update". p.s. 1. you will need a basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel to use this. 2. this worksheet is a few years old, you will need to update the symbol to the current contract. (see #5 above) . domib.xls

you might try this one: SessionEndTime Returns a numerical value, indicating the time of the day that the specified session ends. The time is indicated in the 24-hour HHmm format, where 1300 = 1:00 PM. Usage SessionEndTime( SessionType , SessionNum ) Where: SessionType - a numerical expression: 0 = Auto Detect, 1 = Regular Session* SessionNum - a numerical expression specifying the Session Number * Custom Sessions parameters will be used if selected in QuoteManager. Example Assign a value, indicating the time of the day that the 4th regular session ends, to Value1 variable: Value1 = SessionEndTime(1,4);

yes... here are the session related keywords (some might be MultiCharts specific) Sess1EndTime Sess1FirstBarTime Sess1StartTime Sess2EndTime Sess2FirstBarTime Sess2StartTime SessionCount SessionCountMS SessionEndDay SessionEndDayMS SessionEndTime SessionEndTimeMS SessionLastBar SessionStartDay SessionStartDayMS SessionStartTime SessionStartTimeMS

... ... pun intended?

you can rename the file extension .zip. James can rename it after download. ...hope that would work.

if you are into stddev... John Bollinger's Bollinger on Bollinger Bands is an easy read.

additional notes: if you want to plot current day's high low... this requires a different routine. because past day's HL are static, all you need is to find the HL once and plot the lines. Current day's HL is a moving target. Your codes needs to detect and compare current bar's HL to see if it has made a new HL, then plot the HL lines accordingly. ... and this has to be done for every bar and after every tick. You can see an example here: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f218/plotting-globex-high-and-low-5630.html

maybe you can call it the Rollotape Newsletter

sorry, I don't know how to extract that...

my last code should do this trick. all you need to do is to copy my codes in lookback=3 to lookback=4. if you need addition lookbacks, simply use my original code here: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f56/trendline-easylanguage-5840.html#post63601 this code is for ONE lookback only. simply apply this indicator to the chart with the lookback at 10, then you will have the HL lines from 10 days ago. if you also need to lookback at day 50, then apply the indicator AGAIN... with lookback at 50. QED !

you can set the color to anything you like when you are trading, but when you are programming, you have to see which line is which.
