I heard that Hotspot accounts are government insured. I don't know the specifics.

Our brokers segreated customer accounts protected by FDIC or any other entity?

ATR is a measure of volatility and stockcharts.com has a better description of it that i can put together here. I like it because it shows the average range of a pair over the past X intervals. For me, I like the hourly because I trade the hourly. ...

Hi I'm hopping on the end of the discussion here, but.... what would be really interesting is to find every type of grid that would have been profitable with an automated backtest.... then set up the new grid to bet against the patterns that don't ...

Bob I'm on the sidelines with you. My filter is an ATR(48) > 0.0040 EURUSD hourly. If it goes above 0.004, I stay out. I find these markets just self correcting with all the dollar news.... they should settle down once a clear future begins to ...

Is This My Holy Grail EA :D

Hi. Yeah, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic either. The "armchair musings" are more than just trolling.... I have a vested financial interest in the EURUSD's behavior..... my hope is that the ATR goes back to normal.... we are seeing ...

Well there is a free version control program called CRC that is no charge for a single user. I don't think that is the exact solution for you, though. You might consider writing a java program that polls the files in your folder for "last modified" ...

File Management

Okay, let me see if I understand you correctly.... there are several data files that your EAs are writing to.... and you'd like them to be able to update each other at some point throughout the day. Is that correct?

File Management

Hey Ron Can you bit a little more specific? It is one thing to organize your files in a hierarchy.... it is another to synchronize them. Could you tell us exactly what you are trying to accomplish? -TD

Hi capitalist, I see your point. The dollar fluxuation will be uniform against all currencies, thus nullified. I'm embarassed I didn't realize that when I wrote my last post.

Individual Currencies & Relative Strength

Well there is a marriage to the dollar on all prices linked to Oil (because Oil is priced in dollars.) The way to fix this is to include the dollar's fluxuation against oil with every currency's own fluxuation. In other words, figure out the dollars ...

Individual Currencies & Relative Strength

Yo Beach. I would think that the analysis is more effective if done against ALL currencies in the basket as well.... Suppose the Dollar is neutral, but every pair in the basket is bullish for some reason. It would make the Dollar look weak, when in ...

I'd like to say that "I get it" to those that say luck doesn't exist. There was a woman I used to work with that said "I'm the unluckiest person in the world." all the time. I got sick of it. It was as if, the world owed her a favor. She was ...
