rcar1046 In your chart the 3 is not made as a lower high and lower low are required. A safer (but not safe) entry would be below the 2. The rh would be created in your chart by the 3 being made and then the 2 broken. If the breakout bar is followed by a correction, a higher low in this case...

Eamonn If eSignal are the "leading" real-time quotes service then we're all in deep trouble. I've had no end of problems with their historical intraday data which I have found very dodgy.

Thanks Trdr With the number of stocks I want to cover and at intraday level, manualy checking even the system tester output is far too time-consuming. There seem to be two very fundamental problems: 1. the data goes wonky sometimes. 2. the system does't know/can't warn you when the data has...

Real-time data problems I run v 9.0 professional with e-signal for data.. I have been getting massive data spikes on running the system tester. e.g. a low of $1.57 on MCD against the typical price of around $29. This is despite clearing the cache prior to running the test. The period I was...

MrB THe way I work it is that under Tools/User Preferences I've set my default stop loss to 15 PIPS. This is then automatically applied to all market and limit orders and can be varied when placing both types of order. They show up as a red horizontal line. You can change the stop either on...

I found the charts/system excellent but gave up (the demo version) because it was incredibly unstable/unreliable.

Well, in my demo a/c I was in long EURO just prior to 14:30 and got 75 pips. I then went out and cut the grass, missing the drop back and then further drop on the 16:00 news. There are various sources of the upcoming news such as: http://money.cnn.com/markets/IRC/...

Warning! Remember, UK British Summer Time means US NFP announcement is 14:30 today. US clocks change over this weekend so next week we're back to 13:30 for most US numbers.

FC another of your bags of cash to start with schemes? I've tried adding a stop but it not only reduces the profit but also the max drawdown. I think 0.25 gives the max profit and only worsens the max drawdown marginally. The gap between achieved profit and missed profit (diff between...

Blether currently using OANDA's demo account (or FX Game as they call it). Charts take a bit of getting used to but been fairly reliable so far.

Serious Doubts I only used their demo system but gave up after a 4 weeks due to severe unreliability. I really like their platform burt on the basis of the demo system I would not start a live account with them.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Don't rely on it: Some Expert Systems and Expert Advisors produce markedly different trades - see other threads in T2W. Check how it is actually entering and existing a trade and see if this is achievable. Make sure you allow for slippage and commission/charges. back-testing...

Wonder why he was sent there? sorry - that's terrible.
