1/27/2010 12:58:57 PM " also uncovered a nasty little detail about TradeStation's data.... it is a consolidated data flow... Form T trades came through and screwed up the daily open. But Radar Screen quote fields had the correct open price. I had to write a routine to retrieve that number, too. That gave access to quote fields in Strategy's and indicators in a later version thanks to my embarrasing posts showing their numbers were wrong" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRO, can you elaborate on this? What is :consolidated data flow?" I had a problem with running statistics based off the opening print, b/c they were innacurate. But the innacuracy was based off of erroneous odd lots going off (creating the opening print in TS'e eyes) right around the open.... ie. the stock was tradeable .40 away from where it supposedly opened. Is this what you are refering to? |

1/27/2010 1:30:42 PM No I don't believe, some code has to be changed around to get it to work in ts 2000i. |

1/27/2010 1:51:37 PM How about from 10;42 -11;17? And 12;20 -13;07? Are those not swings thru the zones with minimal chance to cash? What am i missing? |

What am i missing? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes. But remember stockfetcher only supports daily, so once the price has gone -.10 to -.50 that counts as 1 and the reverse for longs. We don't have the stats of how many times that happens in a day. So, If price goes from -.10- to -.50 10 times in one day stockfetcher only counts 1. This took me a long time to figure out and some coin. Like I said in a previous post there are some nuances you need to figure out with practice/observation. Another example would be AMZN now, even though it went from -.50 to +.50(no additional trades supported) this morning I shorted it because it had not filled the gap. I'm out now. Just some things to think about. |

1/27/2010 2:44:58 PM Good trade. I missed it, but I would of made the trade because it was the only trade left in AAPL. It never went to +.50.  |

1/27/2010 4:39:55 PM so tell me if i'm wrong. you cannot make 2 consecutive long trades or short trades in a row. let's say you go long, take profit, then drops back to maybe .03 green then goes above .10 again? can you go long again? |

Check it out yourself, use the filter and change 100 days to 1 and count how many times the stock goes to +-.10 to +-.50 and look at the filter. The filter will say 1 even if it happens multiply times in a day. Using the MTC and Gap filters, there is only 3 plays per ticker. 1)long to .50 - only supported once 2)short to .50 - only supported once 3) long/short can only fill once, but can trade it until it fills--your option(how i traded AMZN today) I hope this helps.
