you should check with IB for historical data. if you need a lot of data... try TradeStation, or eSignal. IB is not a primary data provider... it is more a quote service for its clients.

I have never said your method doesn't work... (nor did I say it works) Your own guilt conscientious let it out.

MultiCharts and NinjaTrader are TWO very different programs. Both have trial versions, you should download and try them out yourself. MultiCharts uses EasyLanguage while Ninja uses C#. There are lots of free EasyLanguage indicators on the web; C# is more powerful, but also requires more skill to code. Each has its own strength. You really have to find out for yourself. p.s. I use InteractiveBrokers for broker and datafeed.

. An Open Letter To B Denis: It is ok to use my indicators. They are for everybody. It is ok to copy and paste them in your website. The license is public use, there are no obligations attached. BUT it is not cool to remove my credit and claim it is yours. Your behavior illustrates your attitude, Your attitude illustrates how you conduct your business. Have a nice day. TAMS .

you should consider yourself fortunate... if you have read the thread (which I am sure you have), you must have noticed that TRO only posts charts... when someone asks a question, he would give cryptic answers, then tells the people more information "OVER THERE". when people ask "where?", he would say google for it. He wants you to go to the other site ! If it weren't for us to put pressure on this guy, do you think he would favor you with a response? LOL have fun. carry on...

MultiCharts cannot do sub-second analysis yet. According to one of their forum replies, they are considering adding this feature.

hahah... am I a fan ? ... LOL... I am only a user of MultiCharts. I have used many other software... they all have strength and weakness... nothing is perfect. Back to your question, You can connect MultiCharts to TT via a supplied dll. I assume it is through API, because FIX is very expensive, and it has to be individually setup.

never heard of it. .....how much does it cost ?

You have been banned from many sites... for good reasons.

can you post some sample charts?

The only purpose of your existence here is to divert traffic to other sites. You have minimal contribution to this community.

Another 1st poster testimony LOL wow... I didn't know TRO has stooped so low.

all common oscillators are doomed to fail unless the indicator can dynamically change its tempo to match the market's temperament.

but his account is in deficit !

China Unveils 'Fastest Train' in World http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,581221,00.html?test=latestnews China unveiled what it touted as the fastest rail link in the world on Saturday, the Agence France Presse reported. The train will run between the cities of Guangzhou and Wuhan. At an average speed of 217 miles per hour, the high-speed train reduces the 664 mile ride from ten and a half hours to just three hours, an official Xinhua news agency said, according to AFP.

Ford brings Wi-Fi to the highway http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/26/wired.ford.wi.fi/index.html (WIRED) -- Ford is making its cars into mobile Wi-Fi hot spots. The next generation of the Sync in-car entertainment and information system will use a USB mobile broadband modem to establish a secure wireless connection capable of supporting several devices simultaneously. The system will be available next year on selected models -- no word yet which ones -- and you won't need a subscription or hardware beyond the modem... [snip] Several automakers already offer in-car Internet access -- Japanese drivers have been using it since 1997 [snip]

I don't use Jurik, so I don't know the requirement... the MACD is just an example done by someone... Is it representational? Probably not. I don't think his original purpose was to make a point, he was only doing it for experiment's sake, without any scientific basis or benchmark for comparison. Does it serve to illustrate a point? it would only mean something to someone if he think it has value. Each MACD is 2 moving averages smoothed again by a moving average... I doubt many real life trader has to drive so much TA and requires so much iteration in one tick. but then there's always someone doing the unusual thing... so you'd never know. The point is, no matter how slow your software is, the difference between 1,000 MACD vs 10 Jurik is not material... it won't be slower than the latency between your eyes and your finger, nor the latency between your computer and the broker's server. I don't know anybody who has tested the Trader/Datafeed/Broker latency. I doubt any retail trader has the tools, the expertize, nor all the software/datafeed/broker combination to carry out such a test. Probably the only people who can do such test is a magazine... If you are bend on doing high frequency trading, the best bet is to do it through a professional trading environment. e.g. a prop or a fund that has the infrastructure to handle the required speed. In a home based trading station, or a standard office building, the Last Mile is your unavoidable weakest link. This is only my 2c. :-)>

MultiCharts indicators are compiled. My understanding of TradeStation (I could be wrong) is it uses p-code. Theoretically compiled code is slightly (ever so slightly) faster than p-code, but practically, with today's CPU, and with the requirements of trading applications, it doesn't matter: You won't see a noticeable difference, not even if you are doing multiple regression type of analysis. Someone did an experiment on MultiCharts, he nested 10 MACDs, one on top of the other, applied it to the same symbol 10 times, then replicated the set up in 10 charts. ie. the computer has to calculate the MACD 1000 iterations every time a tick comes in. Well.... it hardly budged the CPU. I don't think this is just MultiCharts, pretty well every charting software can do the same. If not, blame it on the CPU and buy a more powerful computer. p.s. one exception might be web based charting software, because they are not designed to do heavy duty work like this.

TRO is a moving target. If you go through his old posts in various forums on the internet, you will see a recurring pattern: 1. he tells you what a great method/system he has (with colorful tempting charts) 2. gives you some indecipherable buzzwords to make you feel inadequate 3. re-directs you to another site (tells you to google)... promises you more information over there 4. suggests that if you make a donation, he will give you the other half of the indicator (he won't say it explicitly, but you get the message) MOST IMPORTANT PATTERN: 5. Two months later he comes up with a "new" and "improved" indicator The cycle repeats. LOL He has done this to the TradeStation/EasyLanguage community for a few years. I guess the TS/EL people got smart and nobody is buying is indicators anymore, so he has moved on to the MT4 crowd. The cycle repeats. LOL

read some of my posts and you will find the coding process .

Unless you make consistent losing trades and have a track record they can depend on, otherwise I don't see any scheming criminal who would dare to stick their neck out to bet against you. .

From John Carter's Trading Plan

. why don't you post some charts ? .

they said bad tick filter was in the plans... with today's high quality datafeed, they must have put it in the back burner.
