There are plenty of EL specialist for hire. Look in the TS forum to start. If you are interested in a macd strategy, perhaps the thread: A Leading MACD ! https://www.tradestation.com/Discussions/Topic.aspx?Topic_ID=22670

This is silly. It is like saying TS doesn't read or write any files because it has to call Windows API to process the request. A 32-bit compiled program or code called from a 32-bit program cannot make direct 16-bit API or DLL calls. The most common error you will get is dll "file not found" . If the OP acquired the software legally and the vendor is still supporting the software, the OP should ask the vendor for a 32bit dll.

Isn't TS4 a 16bit application? TS4 can run under WinXP, but it is unlikely that TS8, a 32bit only application can read a 16 bit dll written for TS4.

It is under Quotemanager, Instrument, add custom futures. The 'hieroglyphics' is generated automatically by the setup and presumably describes the rollover of the custom futures, similar to the function in Tradestation.

Multicharts Version 6.0 Beta 2 (Build 3102) allows for continuous futures to be built with customizable rules. For example with the following setting for CL from IB data.

How about 232 tick bars These are elementary EL questions which you can ask on the MC tssupport forum. The fact is you are having a short circuit logic problem in your thinking. By definition, you can't know the H or the L of a bar until the bar is closed. You can however, create a derivative of price that can meet a certain criteria (often this is called an indicator), so that the condition is met intrabar. IOG (Intrabar order generation) logic was created for such purposes.

Sure, we all love to be able to buy or sell something 5 or 10 bars ago.

These are all glorified zigzag indicators. They are what they are, telling you the recent highs and lows after the fact by repainting. They don't teach you how to trade.

This is not an ad. I don't even know what they do, but they have the data for download in their homepage. CME may have it buried somewhere in their website as well. SlickCharts - Free Emini Tick Data Download for CME Emini Futures

Perhaps you could post the answer you got from the TS forum? ... but I think not. There are those who would take and take and never return anything.

You don't have a point.You claim, therefore you are right? Should congress decide to take away the Federal reserve's authority on monetary policy?Let them. Let's see how long international trade and currency flow will function without central banks. Let's see how long the trading exchanges and bourses will run before they shut down without credit.

As far as I can tell, Bernanke has always been an academician or a public servant. He never worked for Goldman Sachs, taken any campaign contributions or taken a bonus from wall street. Heck, he hasn't even sold an indicator or a trading course on the internet. It is easy to demonize a public servant for any mistakes they may or may not have made because it is a lot easier to be a critic than a governor. If there is any legitimate conflicts, collusions or misconduct, a public servant should quit or be fired. However, I don't see anything in Bernanke that suggested he wasn't just doing his job in the interest of the American people.

Software Support number is 1-800-292-3442 for subscription clients. Their recorded message may asked you to please call back during their normal business hours... which are: 8:00 am to 6:30 pm Eastern time. Brokerage clients has a different number and longer support hours. You will need to post your TS version number and installation error message. Sometimes you can solve this problem by re-verifying the built in studies, but your description of the protected studies suggest the problem is with the specific version incompatibility (ie, there may be a newer version of TS that will install properly).

What you want is probably something like this, but it is really up to you to debug and figure out the logic: inputs: CompBars(6), UpColor(Blue), DnColor(Red), BarWidth(1); vars: haClose(0), haOpen(0), color(0); if BarNumber = 1 then begin haOpen = open; haClose = (O+H+L+C)/4; end; if BarNumber > 1 then begin haClose = (O+H+L+C)/4; haOpen = (haOpen [1] + haClose [1])/2 ; { ......................... ......................... ......................... ..... } if haClose > haOpen then color = UpColor else color = DnColor; for value1 = 1 to CompBars begin if haOpen <= MaxList(haOpen[value1],haClose[value1]) and haOpen >= MinList(haOpen[value1],haClose[value1]) and haClose <= MaxList(haOpen[value1],haClose[value1]) and haClose >= MinList(haOpen[value1],haClose[value1]) then color = color[value1]; end; if color = UpColor then buy next bar at market else if color = DnColor then sell short next bar at market ; End;

These Waldo patterns are not as amusing as they seemed and they are hard to spot at times. Waldo #2 is generally back plotted by one bar (ie, plot1[1] ) whilst Waldo #3 is plotted in real time or end of bar. The EOD reversal today (11-19-2009) or beginning of a reversal in ES showed the efficacy of this pattern (Waldo #2, yellow dot at 13:00 exchange time). http://books.google.com/books?id=GZtlA991lNYC&pg=PT199&lpg=PT199&dq=demark+waldo&source=bl&ots=GsiDAoHonR&sig=nKmYjAteHAV1_DxVu20rxx3uuqU&hl=en&ei=yLIFS7vCBoH_nAfd5PjJCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBAQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=demark%20waldo&f=false

Set a state for the condition and remember the state. Reset the state only after a trade has been made or the endBar has been hit. numEntryBars is the number of bars for the delay, which is 5 in your case. https://www.tradestation.com/Discussions/Topic.aspx?Topic_ID=91786

You are showing the oscillation of tick data over 15 min when you set the range setting like you did. This is the instruction from TS.

mmillar had coded CRB in EL prior to TS's implementation. You are still left with problematic realtime reloading of your third party data. Therefore Blueray's suggestion of using MC is probably a better one.
