strategy using multiple time frames?

[Kanpo]

does anyone know if it's possible to create a strategy in 2ki using, for instance daily data to determine trend and minute data to determine actual entry and exit points? i don't need to know exactly how to do it. i'm just wondering if it's possible at all at this point.

Yes it is and you would need to install and use the global variable dll. Even after doing that it is not easy to code.

Is it not possible to add daily as a second set of data and then reference it from easylanguage? or was that implemented after 2k?

 

[Trader333]

Yes it is possible in TS2000i as I have said using the Global Variable and I do know because I and others use it.

Thanks, Paul. Can you tell me where I can get that dll? Also, I've been reading about service pack updates. Do you know where I can get those?

Attached is a zip file and you will need to do the following:

Place the file called globalvariable.dll into the directory as follows:
C:\Program Files\Omega\Program

or replace C: with whatever directory your program files are in.

Doubleclick the the GV.els file which will load and verify 4 functions into your tradestation studies. Also it is a good idea to join the technical trader forum on these boards as you will get more information on using the global variable as I am not the best person to ask on how to use it.

I have no information on service pack updates so cannot help you with this.

We use MUlti time frame analysis in our forum. The forum is called TECHNICAL TRADER and is free to those who are ready to become a pro ... The forum can be accessed by control panel/ Home page and you have to apply for it

Multi time frame analysis is vital and TS2K is an awesome platform for mechanical strategy .

You have to work hard to code some concepts which I have explained on the BB but once it is coded , you are way ahead of other traders.

Yes, quite so.

And the more timeframes you are able to display, the more complete the picture you get.

Why people do not see this truth is a mystery.

Multiple time frames in easy language

Why not just reference a hidden data stream 2 , 3, 4, etc instead of mucking about using global variable dll's?

Its fairly basic coding unless you are trying to do quite complicated things

I think the reason is that hidden datastreams do not work in Radarscreen and the only option is a global variable.

Yes thats absolutely right - I had assumed it was a chart/strategy problem.
