The whole thing is in bad taste, especially the posturing of public figures to a contrived media event.

If you like literary discussion try Arts & Letters Daily at Arts & Letters Daily - ideas, criticism, debate. Lots of pointers to books, essays and articles.

Best wishes. You've been a role model for all your contributions and willingness to help others.

Timsk, you've been a feature of T2W for years and I've always read your posts with interest, not least because of their maturity and pragmatism. Please keep posting, wherever your endeavours take you, because you do make a difference to this site. I'm sure you'll return to trading after some...

Nice site with good content. It's a bit busy though and the page too wide. You should try a few approaches to the layout, it's the only way to settle on something comfortable.

Some info on release 8.4 https://www.tradestation.com/support/whats_new/tradestation_0840.aspx I don't have it yet so can't comment properly.

It's generous of you to put in such commitment. Many thanks.

An aspect of finding better oscillators involves using Moving Averages which are smoother and react faster than SMA. The reference standard here is the propriatory Jurik MA. Two open-source contenders are the Hull and the Gaussian MAs. TradeStation forum link to Hull...

I've posted the modified function TT_Osc_Cross below. It's been changed to use the comparision operators (<,>) instead of TradeStation's cross over/under as per your post. The cross is defined as the oscillator line crossing the SMA line. I'm not entirely sure I follow the distinction of...

Vista is bloated and slower than XP. The speed difference tends to be masked because it's running on newer machines. A lot of people have trouble with graphics drivers et al with Vista since it was pushed out before vendors could fully iron out problems e.g. NVidia. Of course I only found out...

I'll change the code over.

This is an illustration of Glenn's oscillator testing example as it might be done within the TT_MTL_CYCLE3 context. There's currently an issue with invalid data so this is untested. // Get the cycle value for all timeframes CycleHistory60 = TTCycle(CycleLength, Smoothing) data6...

There's been discussion of have a short sma of the oscillator line as a crossover signal. Some functions for this: TT_Osc_Cross: // Pass back an indication on whether a short MA has crossed above or below the // the oscillator. // Returns: // -1 - Crossed downwards // 1 - Crossed...

I thought the same. The TT_MTL_CYCLE3 code makes a good testing framework for oscillators. It's all in one place and allows control of the other factors in trade entry. Generally the oscillator testing code should be similar to, or reuse, the trade entry code. The testing environment is...

This thread is for all discussions on oscillators: investigation, coding, testing, etc.
