The Henk

A friend of mine took his 996 Turbo through Romania a few years ago and said it was an amasing experience if you are not too afraid to put some mileage and damage on your car (roads are apparently quite s**te.) Yeah ive seen the episode where Jeremy and Co drive through romania, great show Top Gear!

At some point I have to do a proper roadtrip across the US to check those roads out but until proven wrong I reckon the Stelvio pass in Italy is as good as it gets! Ive also heard that the Transfagarasan in Romania is pretty good, and by looking at the pics it looks quite amasing!

Thanks! I really enjoyed that, even understood most of the Dutch too.

Thank you SO much! Ill look into this as soon as im back at the office tomorrow morning!!!

Even though its for a good cause with the charity and all im gonna have to pass on the offer. Im still testing out the Tradestation software, im solely gonna use it for analysis since I place all my trades at an ECN broker which Tradestation (Gain) is not and unless I find a long term system I can be consistently profitable in, im not going to spend $500 plus whatever the Tradestation is per month just to try something out, this is just an idea I have, I dont have a clue if its any good etc...

Im also a big fan of Vintage Porsches and vintage looking Porsches like the "Singer 911" which is basically a 997 GT3RS underneath... Enjoy!

Has anyone got an idea of an indicator or anything? I need something for my "longer" trades... My scalping is going great but I want to do some longer trades when I dont have time to stare at the screens all day...

I have read your post and we DO think alike, the funny thing is if you place a red Boxster next to a grey Turbo, the girl you are with are gonna point at the Boxster and say its nicer, but then again, put her in the Turbo and put the pedal to the floor and even she is gonna be able to tell the difference (im speaking from experience ) I love all Porsches and the Boxsters and Caymans handle SO nicely and are great drivers but just sitting in a turbo feeling the finish on things is just so different from a standard 997...

In my opinion as far as it comes to cars it doesnt get better than the new 2010 Porsche 997 Turbo (gen2). I drove one 3 months ago and it was by far the most terrifying experience I have had! The car is a BEAST! I have driven the gen1 997 Turbo for about 5000-10.000kms and it is a VERY fast car, but the gen2 with all the engine kits etc etc it was just a different thing, especially with the new 7 speed PDK gearbox. I have never driven anything as responsive as that, not GT3's, Lambo's or even the McLaren SLR, the Turbo is in a class of its own. That and the fact that you can drive it all year around makes it the "best" car in the world. Ok I wouldnt mind a Ferrari 599 or a Lambo LP670 or something but that's a different league, and the useability of those cars is uncompareable to a Turbo. I do however also like the new 997 Sport Classic, so its a tough choice which one id choose, most likely id go for the Sport Classic since its gonna become a collectable. Another fantastic car and which gives you alot for your money is the Maserati Gran Turismo, however ONLY in GT S mode, buying the "cheaper" version of this car is just rubbish, its just too slow, as soon as the snow is gone here in Sweden where I live im gonna book that car into a test drive, just need to get it out of my system, I think its SUCH good value for money, surely it cant be that good... or?

Well, it might not look the same but what it does is plot the Inside Bars etc and thats what I want. The TAMS do plot some other stuff which is not that important to me. What Im looking for is inside bars and ccc.

Hi, that would be fantastic! Basically this "Price Action Trainer" by TAMS does what I want, even though its not graphically as pleasing but thats just cosmetics. Ive added the "code" underneath. ----------------- // Price Action Trainer // Version: beta 0.1 // Author: TAMS // License: Public Domain // // Description: // This indicator reads the Price Action as the market unfolds // it then prints the following action names on the screen: // ib = Inside Bar // FTP = Flat Top Pennant // fbp = flat bottom pennant // ccc = congestion, convergence, centering // Input: text_col(red), TL_offset(1), text_offset(.25); Variables: id.tl (0), id.txt (0), old_id(0), ccc(0), id.tl.top(0), id.tl.bot(0), inside(false), insidebar(false); inside = high <= high[1] and low >= low[1]; insidebar = high < high[1] and low > low[1]; ccc = 0; {== CCC ==} if inside[1] and inside then begin ccc = 1; old_id = id.tl ; if old_id <> -1 then begin id.tl = tl_delete( old_id ); text_delete( id.txt ); end; id.tl= tl_new( date,time[1], high + TL_offset , date, time[1], high + TL_offset * 2 ); id.txt = Text_New( Date, Time[1], h+ tl_offset * 2.5, "CCC" ); Text_SetStyle( id.txt, 2, 1 ); Text_SetColor( id.txt, text_col ); id.tl.top = tl_new( date, time[2], high[2], date, time, high[2] ); id.tl.bot = tl_new( date, time[2], low[2], date, time, low[2] ); end; {== NON CCC begins ===} if ccc = 0 then begin {== FBP ==} if high < high[1] and low = low[1] then begin id.tl = tl_new( date, time, high + TL_offset, date, time, high + TL_offset * 2 ); id.txt = Text_New( Date, Time, high + TL_offset * 2.5, "fbp" ); Text_SetStyle( id.txt, 2, 1 ); Text_SetColor( id.txt, text_col); id.tl.top = tl_new( date, time[1], high[1], date, time, high ); end else {== FTP ==} if high = high[1] and low > low[1] then begin id.tl= tl_new( date, time, high + TL_offset , date, time, high + TL_offset * 2 ); id.txt = Text_New( Date, Time, high + TL_offset * 2.5, "FTP"); Text_SetStyle( id.txt, 2, 1); Text_SetColor( id.txt, text_col); id.tl.bot = tl_new( date, time[1], low[1], date, time, low ); end else {== InsideBar ==} if insidebar then begin id.tl= tl_new( date, time, high + TL_offset, date, time, high + TL_offset * 2 ); id.txt = Text_New( Date, Time, high + TL_offset * 2.5, "ib" ); Text_SetStyle( id.txt, 2, 1 ); Text_SetColor( id.txt, text_col); id.tl.top = tl_new( date, time[1], high[1], date, time, high ); id.tl.bot = tl_new( date, time[1], low[1], date, time, low ); end; end;

Ok, well Ive found an indicator which basically plots what I want on a chart but I havent found one that works on the radar screen which is what Im after. Basically I want to be able to watch multiple pairs in an easy way and when there is a possibility of a trade to give that specific pair more attention. My coding experience is minimal, I have done the basic tutorials etc but unfortunately there is no way that I can even remotely know how to code an indicator like this, so any help or directions on where to look would be highly appreciated!

Anyone? ............................................................

Paying everything once a per year is a fantastic idea! I love the fact that by doing so you dont have to feel the stress of having to earn money each month for bills etc. Ill take that advice! Thank you!!! :cheers:

Ok to make things easier to explain ive done this picture showing exactly what Im looking for. Basically what I want to do is to trade a simple daily inside bar break out strategy, I would however like to "scan" the market using the Radar Screen since these trades dont come to often. As you see on the picture id like a indicator which not only plots the high and lof of the IB but also how many bars ago it was plotted on the radar screen. If possible I would like to add CCC to this too, so that it plots a CCC and how many bars ago this were. So what do you guys think? Is this possible? How much coding is needed? What do you guys think of the idea?

Unfort its on my other computer, im writing this of my laptop. It is however exactly what you gave me plus what was already in the "inside bar" indicator from trade station, I havent added any code myself.

Hi Ive written the "code" given by daedulus in easy language, verified it but im not sure its functioning the way I want it to because im not getting any indications on any pair on any time frame (at least not on the charts), on the radar screen I am getting "quotes" whenever there is an inside bar (I guess)... Im am however really rubbish at easy language so im probably doing something wrong.

Hi Whenever I add that extra line I get absolutely nothing in my tradestation, im not very good at Easy Language and I am probably doing something wrong. You dont by any chance have the full code I need?

Hi Daedalus. That is very similar to what I wrote, I could not get it work properly though. What Im looking for is very similar to this, I would however like to have the choice of getting indications on both 1 Inside Bar and when there are numerous Inside Bars, the price etc is not important id rather just have a text that says IB or something in the Radar Screen. Also at the moment its indicating whenever there is an inside bar at this very moment which is not necessary. Since im planning on using this for a daily chart I just need notification whenever a bar has closed and not when its about to close. All the help is very much appreciated!!

Thank you for the quick response! Im looking for something similar, I do however want it to work in the Radar Screen which this one does not. It could be anything, just plot a point or anything there when there is an Inside Bar so that it draws my attention to that pair, doesn't necessarily need to do anything fancy etc...

Hi I am wondering if there is an Inside Bar indicator or CCC Indicator for Tradestation that works in the Radar Screen? What im basically am looking for is an indicator which on a daily chart tells me if there has been an Inside bar or an CCC in any of the 20-30 pairs that im watching through the Radar Screen. I have been trying to code one myself in Easy Language but unfortunate my skills are not good enough to get it to work... If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be a VERY happy man.
