I am not kidding... if the indicator is the basis of the membership, then you have a case against him, because he is the one who promised 50/50. I would talk to a lawyer for advice. Good luck.

you should sue him for half of the membership sales, LOL

as in any business, if you split the sales, you should also split the expenses that generate the sales. if the website is for generating the sales, then yes, you are responsible for part of the expenses.

I gave it some more thought... yes, actually it can be done. Not only that, I found 3 methods that can achieve the above in TS. The first method is the classical way, it uses DLL, and requires some serious programming. This is a logical method; this is what most programmers would think in terms of problem solving. So probably this is what the TS EL engineer was referring to. The second method uses a trick to get the begin/end points to move forward or backward by 1 or more bars. I have not tested it out yet, this is only a concept. The third method will require some math... I mean lots of math calculations. but it can be done.

this is true for Win95 days... but not with today's machines anymore

did he contribute to the business venture? eg. sales & marketing efforts? if he did, then he owns part of the code the same way you own part of the brand, sales, and marketing.

did he contribute to the logic of the code? if he did, he is the part owner of the code the same way you are the part owner of his logic.

I did not know Kiwi is banned... or why he was banned. All I know is one thing: a public forum is like a house party. you can be a funny guy, and entertained the whole party. or you can be a great conversationist, and kept everybody interested. but if you also do something not acceptable to the group, no matter how small the infraction, or how insignificant the offends seem, if it is not acceptable to the host, you will be invited to leave. That's plain and simple.

you can only do it in MultiCharts. MultiCharts can perform analysis down to the seconds level, while TradeStation can only do minutes. (for now) ps. there is no need to start a new thread on this. You should just append the question to your previous thread of the same subject.

there are many PhD thesis and academic research papers on this subject. you can find the documents in many universities' websites.

no, you cannot do that.

don't understand what you mean. do you have a screen shot? code?

are you plotting it as a dot? you can change the plot width to 1. That should make it almost disappear. if this is part of a bar (ie bar high, bar low), then you can change the plots to close, and all the points will "disappear" as a tiny dot.

The following keywords should not be used inside a condition: SetBreakEven SetDollarTrailing SetPercentTrailing SetProfitTarget SetStopLoss These exit instructions are part of the strategy engine. The orders are posted to broker when there is an open position. The target and stop will be automatically* withdrawn if the position is closed. for more info, read EasyLanguage Essentials Programmers Guide Built-in Stops.......... pg. 90 Quote: Built-in Stops EasyLanguage includes built-in exit commands that may be included directly in your strategies. These special commands will be active even on the bar of entry; that is, they are evaluated on each tick (regardless of any setting for Intrabar Order Generation on the Calculation tab of the Format Strategy dialog). These stops are not written in EasyLanguage, but are part of the strategy engine.

167.109 there are 2 codes posted; one is for TS, the other is for MultiCharts.

excellent... next step is to do forward testing. Does TradeStation have papertrading accounts? It would make testing a lot easier.

if it is too good to be true, it usually is. what program are you using? instead of jumping into autotrade, I would suggest you to revise your code to plot a green dot on the chart for every buy signal, and a red dot for a sell signal.... and a black dot for exits. you can then visually inspect the chart to see the plausibilities of such a strategy. if everything looks ok, then go ahead to coding it in autotrade.

then do at least one thing that is not dim -- get TradeStation or MultiCharts.

That's right, in trading, you want something stable... Most trader do not require a rocket fast computer, just any quadcore is plenty fast enough for most requirements, but it has to be stable. Therefore OC is most likely not a good idea. Backtesters might want something different, but that's another story.

trading buddy do not have to be someone you talk to all the time during the market hours. as a matter of fact, I would prefer not to talk a lot when I trade. a trade buddy can be someone you do your pre-flight with, or someone you do your debrief after the market. if you do not have discipline to carry out a trading plan, you have to look inside yourself to find out the underlying reason for such a self-sabotaging behavior. maybe your subconscious self is telling you there are contradicting logics in your plan, maybe your subconscious self is telling you your analysis is incomplete, or faulty. maybe you need a good fk. by the market, or whatever. other than a pair of shackles, nothing can prevent you from doing what you are not supposed to do.

above all, you need: 1. a trading buddy. 2. a mentor, both are important in your development both are instrumental in your success both are difficult to come by not because they are not out there, not because nobody is willing, but because trading is such a generic term, it encompassing a wide range of activities. trading could mean 3 trades per minute, or trading could mean 2 trades per month, or anything in between. different instruments, frequency, expectations, risk tolerance, analytical method, also define the traders differently. therefore looking for a buddy/mentor is a trip in self-understanding and SELF-DEFINITION. We are so lucky because we are living in the internet age, it makes the job of searching for a buddy/mentor that much easier than the previous generation. here are my suggestions to find your "mate": 1. post your thoughts often, let the people know you, your thought orientation, your trading style 2. ask questions often, see who is willing to share, and see what they can share 3. DO NOT engage a paid mentor. not because mentors do not worth money, not because mentors do not deserve to be paid, but because there are lots of snake oil salesmen out there. if you don't know how to trade, you don't know how to discern a fake from a gem. so my advice is -- don't pay. secondly, some of you might be surprised, there are lots of successful traders out that who are willing to share, to teach, and to help. but you have to push the right button to get them to talk. a good mentor can tell if you are sincere a good mentor will not waste time on gamblers, get rich quick lazy bums. or undisciplined brats. ... more later. good luck

use InteractiveBroker's demo system. it streams stale data all weekend long. (24/7) they even give you $2,000,000 to buy and sell on their account.

GIGO how the auto-system works depends on your understand of how the market works human mind is pretty intelligent; it can fudge its way through. Computers can't.

done some sailing and scuba diving too...
