Holy balls you weren't kidding... I love the symbol lookup! I wanted this feature for so long! the equities are awesome as well (I hope we all get data, not just equity clients!). Seems much more polished overall to me. Quote window looks soooo much better by just adding some additional coloring and lines to break up all the data. Cool equity stuff like the TRIN, TICK, etc... "Most Actives" filter... time and sales... I'm friggin impressed. That being said i've managed to kill it twice with "Fatal Errors" but it remains running if you click "continue" and doesn't kill the entire program which is awesome. Once they get the bugs worked out its gonna be a hell of an upgrade and I can't wait. Anyone else spot any cool new features?

"The sweet just isn't as sweet without the bitter baby!" Thanks for continuing to share with us and its awesome to see your system performing and making new equity peaks.

gotta admit I love the RS5 and I can't wait to see one in the flesh. It will be a badass car! I only hope they bring them stateside!

Trader273 & Tams - THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Mine looks a bit ragged.... but does work... this on a 4 range chart.

Yup.... Mine does the same thing, just not as beautifully! lol. Where did you get yours? You're on OEC as well aren't you?

Drrr. I figured it out and got it working perfectly... Thought I would share... Inputs: RangeSetting(.05); Variables: None(0), Value1(0); None = AbsValue(High-Low); Value1 = RangeSetting - None; //High if Close >= Low and LastBaronChart then begin plot1(High+Value1, "BL"); end else NoPlot(1); //Low if Close <= High and LastBaronChart then begin plot2(Low-Value1, "SL"); end else NoPlot(2); Just change the range setting to the right setting for that range you are trading... Cheers!

Simple idea, at least I thought until I tried to code it up. I am trading range bar charts and I would like to be able to have an indicator that plots the given high and low range of the current bar as it unfolds so that I can correctly place stops without all the mental math. i.e.... if the bar currently has a 2 tick range from 985-987 and i'm trading a 4 range bar that its going to tell me based off the current range that a new bar will be created at a move to 983, or at a move to 989... get it? I guess my only question is how can I set a plot in easylanguage to go a set amount of ticks on top of the given price? I had some examples of this in my code library that I cannot seem to dig up... anyone got any ideas? Is it as simple as... " Plot1(Close+.0001, "Buy", Green) " ?

I really would create a different indicator to use.... rather than trying to use the same one for the chart and radarscreen - also make sure that you have set the properties to calculate on close only so its not doing it intrabar and giving false signals. Beyond that, its hard to really dissect the problem without all the code.

add "and LASTBARONCHART" to the statement and then the scanner window will alert you when the last bar on a given chart (on close) equals your signal. You'll have to make another indicator and save it as something different and use that version for your scanner, and the original for your charts.

I don't know if this would make a difference but here are the two of the equity curves... The first attachment is for Outcome 1, the second attachment for Outcome 2. As you can see both have minimal drawdowns but Outcome 2 has a decidedly more upwards and direct equity curve.

understood on the validity of anything statistically significant on these amount of trades... That being said... say each had been produced over 1000 trades.... which would you choose then - higher efficiency and less profit or higher profitability with more trades?

^^^ Very cool to help like that. Thanks for sharing!

I think this is the appropriate forum for this kind of question. I am developing a new method and have some backtesting results done which were then filtered 4 different ways. My question to you is which of these outcomes would you consider the best? My stumble point has been the trade efficiency vs. overall $ profit per contract. I don't know which one is best... I like high efficiency but passing up on essentially double the profit (net of commissions) seems like a somewhat stupid idea... Any thoughts?

lol... i've done the exact same thing myself before... tick/volume chart settings are easy to overlook. But like always, when in doubt - CTRL+R. Sometimes the data will go corrupt on your machine and you have to manually delete the cache as well and restart the program to have a fresh new download of the data to your machine but that only happened to me on rare occasions. Cheers!

Wait a tick... how did you do that? I've been having a hell of a time getting my bars colored in paintbar studies and have resorted to simply drawing colored dots on the close prices of each par which while annoying and doesn't look great, is still functional... Can you walk me through in a bit more detail how you got paintbar functions on your chart?

Congrats man! Drinks are on the markets tonight I suppose? :rofl:

Initially I hated them but they have grown on me. They need some tasteful modification and then they are HOT.

+1 - I'll take a manual any day of the week. I hate that companies like Ferrari do not make and will never make a proper manual tranny again. Some of us derive so much of the pleasure of driving from nailing the perfect double clutch'ed downshift for a corner - not just pulling a paddle and having the ecu rev match the engine... snoooooze. Thats truly the only reason why i'm on the fence about the IS-F... no manual tranny option and that is a key component I don't know if I can overlook. But the comparable BMW/Audi alternatives are 5-10k premiums at current second market prices and thats a lot for a clutch pedal. My other concern with the M3 was that they mentioned that it wasn't just the tranny going to crap, but that the entire chassis had softened up and creaks and groans were developing aplenty.

Yea... the initial release batch for most of their cars are like that... obviously some more than others - the Enzo you had to be selected to have the option to purchase it, but on their more normal releases (16M, Scuderia, F458, upcoming 599 GTO) you can't just walk into the showroom and order one unless your willing to pay EXORBITANT over sticker prices. And even then its a crap shoot. Typically unless you already own at least one Ferrari they won't let you have one of the new cars. The more Ferrari's are already in your stable the more of a "shoe in" you are at the dealer getting you a car (assuming their is a build slot still left which usually isn't the case). But typically the way it works is say, I purchased a Scuderia, then Ferrari will send documentation to you about car features, spec sheets, etc... so if you're walking into the dealer without that info - you're really not going to be walking out with a car. And i guess I should mention much of this is getting more and more strict to avoid people just putting in orders for cars to flip around for a cash profit. It had become such a problem with the brand that the company has really started to restrict owners of new cars to avoid people flipping the cars.

^^ +1 My problem with the M3 is the new DSG box. Motor Trend reported on their long term loaner than after 30k miles the entire car had "loosened up" with its chassis and the DSG box wasn't tight and smooth anymore. Personally i'm waiting for potential gearbox revisions and more long term reviews before i'm plunking down my hard earned cash for one. But I do love the car. Honestly i'm pretty caught up on the IS-F and the second hand market is ridiculous... you can wipe 27k off the sticker on a used '08 with 19k miles. And you'd never have to worry about reliability. I'm on the fence between that and the 996TT - (which also has insane value for money used right now). You can get 95% of the 997TT performance for 1/3 the price. Very cool to find fellow car guys here!

lol. small world. I don't know about you but it was a rare car where i lived. There were 2 (including mine) in a city of 1.2 million. I loved that car. Handled like it was on rails and the blow off sound was addictive!

Buddy, you are one of the few with the cash flow to walk into the dealer and pick one up! (well ok - you'll have to wait a bit until they come up second hand with like 1,000 miles on it so you don't pay outrageous dealer markups and since you weren't already selected by Ferrari to purchase it) but still.... Life's too short not to own a piece of engineering perfection in your garage!

it tries to predict turning points in the market... its a modified version of the ZigZag indicator TRO refers to as a "Semafor"... problem as far as I can tell is that like the ZigZag it still repaints?
