YOU are not adding to the discussion, and I do not appreciate that. You sound like a desperate vendor, bitter about the success of your competitors. If you want any respect around here (even as a vendor), you should start your own thread and start to share something of substance. You post leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

I have seen one in bikini, I think that one is even better. ;-)>

Hong Kong has been levying FFT for the longest time, it did not dent the market a bit. The number you quote is for equities, futures would cost a lot less. if and when it happens, just deal with it and go on. This is just another expense, no difference from CME charging another buck for quotes, or your ISP charging another dollar for internet... just be happy that the market is providing you with an opportunity to pay.

You will need 3rd party data feed for MultiCharts or NinjaTrader, either from the broker's quote service, or a data provider like eSignal. MultiCharts is a general purpose program. If you are serious in Market Profile (ie making money), I would recommend a program specialized in that discipline. (eg. Investor RT.)

not with OEC, don't waste your time... OEC is only good for basic indicators. It cannot do most of the advanced stuff. I have seen countless people wasting their precious trading time wrestling with OEC. It will take you less than one day's trading profit to buy MultiCharts or NinjaTrader... it will ended up costing you more with OEC's "free" program.

forget about OEC... it won't work in OEC. OEC's easylanguage is not complete, and its implementation is non-standard. you can run simple easylanguage indicators in OEC, but not complex ones like this.

see post #8 http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/coding-forum/10571-easylanguage-help.html

I would suggest you to start with a flowchart... map out how you want the logic to work, then code it accordingly.

starting 2 threads and asking the same question twice is annoying, it will not get you an answer any faster.

MultiCharts can mix and match any symobls and resolutions in the same chart, including mixing time-based resolution, sub-minute resolutions, and non-time-based resolutions.

two ways to approach this: 1. hire a professional programmer 2. learn to do it yourself (and with help from forums like this). to do the second method, you have to first get yourself started. ie. go get the manual, get the ebooks... go through the examples in the ebooks. Then give your idea a try. you can get the ebooks from either TradeStation or MultiCharts website. They are free.

don't spin your wheels go get the ebook... getting started with EasyLanguage go through the examples, everything you need is there. ps. your question is too vague. I can see what you are trying to accomplish, but you have to give more info (eg code snippets).

not impossible, you just have to deal with each situation differently. Tradestation, OEC, etc., can do analysis down to the minute level, while MultiCharts can drill down to the seconds level. when you are using tick charts, you are basically dealing with sub-minute analysis. if the x time is a session opening, then it is easy to find/pinpoint that trade.

open price is even easier... just replace the keyword "CLOSE" with "OPEN". input: specific.time(600); var: specific.price(0); if TIME = specific.time then specific.price = OPEN; bear in mind, TradeStation and most of the chart programs use the bar ending time as reference. if you are using a 5 min chart, the bar 0600 starts at 0555 and ends at 0600. if you are using a 1 min chart, the bar 0600 starts at 0559 and ends at 0600. forget about tick charts, it is a different animal.

input: specific.time(600); var: specific.price(0); if TIME = specific.time then specific.price = close;

in the spirit of sharing, I encourage you to post your enhanced code.

I would stay with 5 min for now... you can always find something to fit into some resolution (eg. why not try 4.9 min? or 5.1 min?). ps. PV works at all fractals... you should see the message from the market, with or without the lateral.

What other scenario can you think of?

you mean you agreed with my view?

:rofl: You are reacting to this at a personal level... you are displaying your maturity level in dealing with emotional matters.

you are reacting to this at an emotional level... you are displaying your maturity level in dealing with a discussion topic.

the event that led to this "unusual" event is also very unusual... I doubt the past historical market behavior is a good guide for this unusual current event.

15 months to election... there is only one thing left to do -- pump up the market !
