  1. the mechanics of programming is easy... you just need to read the manual. the challenge is not in the programming language, but in how you define, in plain English, what needs to be programmed. the computer is just a dumb machine. it executes actions according to your instruction. you just need to give it that "Instruction" for it to be smart.

    Better Momentum

    it is only US$167 Momentum Indicator – It’s Time to Update this Classic Indicator
  3. You have already imagined it, you have already visualized it, now you have to 1. quantify it in logics, (ie IF this happens, THEN do this, ELSE do that...) 2. articulate it with written words, flow charts, diagrams, pseudo codes, then we can program it.
  4. every TradeStation and MultiCharts software comes with 150+ autotrade strategies. have you looked at them? what comments do you have?
  5. not familiar with Firsttrade... you can call them and see if they have a data feed. if you are swing trade, why bother with min data? you can get EOD data free from yahoo or google, but i don't know of any places that has free min data.
  6. who is your broker? most broker provides some sort of data feed. some provides more, some less. e.g. with InteractiveBrokers, they have a xls worksheet template that you can use to extract stock data directly from their server. with TradeStation, they even give you an analytical software... no excel required.

  10. here's A Neat Little System by dougcs EasyLanguage source code included below. enjoy ! A Neat Little System.txt
  11. do you have statistics on the hit and miss of your weekly pivots?
  12. if you want to see a piece of art... click here The Art of Engineering
  13. save a click? this can be disastrous... TL ranking can come off a point!
  14. can you post some chart with notes to describe your observation? thanks
  15. you have to understand one thing... those exit orders (including stoploss, profittarget, etc.,) are NOT regular orders (ie BUY and SELL). they are part of the "Strategy Engine". Look up "Strategy Engine" in the EasyLanguage manual, read it in detail, understand its purpose and behaviors... then use them accordingly.
  16. Rread my wording carefully, you will get my point. if you try to add meaning to it, you are on your own.
  17. not just multicharts... tradestation as well. ppl often get carried away when tweaking their codes, they adding conditions upon conditions to their strategies as an after thought and forgotten that IF one of the condition does not meet the criteria, the stoploss will not be in place anymore.
  18. do not put stoploss/breakeven/profit target in a condition. it might not execute.
  19. you should always provide a link to your source... 1. give the original author credit 2. so that ppl can understand the background... instead of starting from nowhere.
