ValueTrader

A quick tip (you may already know) there are loads of features on WIN7 that are memory consuming, and really slow things down. When i switched from XP to 7 i googled 'Speed up Windows 7' and found loads of sites with step by step instructions on disabling some of the 'Bells & Whistles'. Another useful thing with WIN7 is you can use a flash memory stick to boost your RAM. (probably not needed if you've just built your own PC though! good luck with it. VT

Panic over, i've solved it now. If anyone would like the completed code (Easy Language for Open E Cry) let me know. VT

HI, I've tried a few VWAP codes in EL on my Global Zen platform with no problems. The lastet one i've tried: LegacyColorValue = true]; inputs: iStartTime (0800), ResetMinutes (60); vars: PriceW(0), ShareW(0), Count(0), VolWAPValue(0), VolWAPVariance(0), VolWAPSD(0); if mod( (TimeToMinutes(time)-TimeToMinutes(iStartTime) , TimeToMinutes(ResetMinutes) = 0 then begin PriceW = 0; ShareW = 0; Count = -1; Value1 = 0; Value2 = 0; VolWAPValue = 0; end; PriceW = PriceW + (AvgPrice * (UpTicks+DownTicks)); ShareW = ShareW + (UpTicks+DownTicks); Count = Count + 1; Value3 = 0; if ShareW > 0 then VolWAPValue = PriceW / ShareW; {Calculate the individual variance terms for each intraday bar starting with the current bar and looping back through each bar to the start bar. The terms are each normalized according to the Variance formula for each level of volume at each price bar } For Value1 = 0 To Count Begin Value2 = ((UpTicks[Value1]+DownTicks[Value1])/ShareW) * (Square(AvgPrice[Value1]-VolWAPValue)); Value3 = Value3 + Value2; End; VolWAPVariance = Value3; VolWAPSD = SquareRoot(VolWAPVariance); Plot1(VolWAPValue, "VWAP"); Plot2(VolWAPValue + VolWAPSD, "VWAP1SDUp"); Plot3(VolWAPValue - VolWAPSD, "VWAP1SDDown"); Plot4(VolWAPValue + (2*VolWAPSD), "VWAP2SDUp"); Plot5(VolWAPValue - (2*VolWAPSD), "VWAP2SDDown"); Comes up with 2 syntax errors and Unsupported attribute 'LeagacyColorVale" Does anyone know the fix for these, and also can anyone reccomend a site to learn EL coding. Thanks VT

PREMAL... your 'SIMPLE FREE STRATEGY' is an old MP technique known as one time framing, and like any other strategy it is usless unless market structure is taken into consideration. I f trading was this easy the markets wouldn't work. When you've blown your account trying to get this to be consistantly profitable, send me a PM and i'll forward you some links of hundreds of equally 'simple' techniques that 'guarentee profits' . Better still why not google 'emini trading systems' and give them a try. Theres one born every minute.

Depends what you excel programming ability is. My Excel Profiles give me multiple days, & overlays, of any number of days. As for the 'CBOT/CME official versions' You're splitting hairs really. I dont know of any proffesional trader ( employed by an investment bank or such like) that uses market delta.

You dont need to have a tick by tick updated profile to trade. Take a look at Don Jones' site @ cisco futures.com There you'll find everything you need to know about MP. I use have my own excel based MP charting. It can Run via a DDE link, but i prefer to update it manully, by simply inputing the h/l data gives me somthing to do when price is in no-mans-land.
