I agree. I did a search for Puretick on the TL site with no results. However a search via Google did find find a thread on TL talking about Puretick. Thanks, John

I need a charting program where I can record and then playback the day's action. I work full time, and just don't have the ability to spend any focused time watching while the market is going. So, I have come up with the idea to record and then play it back later. I am planning on trading futures, so that is what I want to record. I will likely stick with one of the emini products like ES, YM, or NQ. I presume I will need to fund an account to get the datafeed. However, if I can just get past feeds somewhere and play those back, I am willing to do that too. What are the options and recomedations that you have? Thank you.

I have been looking into various trading methods for awhile. I ran across VSA awhile back, and the premise of using volume to trade was introduced to me then. I have also discovered that MP also uses volume. Using volume as a factor just makes sense to me, which all the MACD, grid trading, etc stuff I had looked at before didn't. Anyway, I can only trade for the 60 to 90 minutes of the day since I have a day job I have to go to after that. Can I realisticly use MP, or some derivative thereof, for entering and exiting trades during that timeframe? I would think so based on what I have read, but wanted to get some input from others. Thanks!

I program for a living. I have been doing it for 11 years now. Started off with COBOL and now program VB6, C#, and T-SQL. - I agree with the others to stay away from C++. Unless you want to program full time, as opposed to trading full time, C++ is not the direction you want to go. - I say to pick a language that CQG supports. Try to figure out if you can which language might have the most CQG stuff written in it. - I have always found it is easier to learn programming by taking an existing program that you know works, and tweaking it to see what happens. See if you can find a simple indicator and then tweak it. Change a 10 period moving average and change it into a 8 or 12. Modify it to display in a different color or style. Those are all likely settings that can be changed programatically. - When you look at something you know works, it eases the pressure of having to know it all to get going. You don't need to know it all, just modify it for what you need. This will obviously leaves gaps in your knowlege. You might decide to fill in those gaps or be satisfied with what you have if it is working for you. - If you get something working, but it is not fast enough or whatever, you can then post it and have others critique it or pay to have a professional make it into everything you want it to be. Hope this helps.
