Hi Matt, That Celeron is not the quickest horse in the barn Should be OK, though. The Aero desktop of Vista is really tough on the graphics co-processor, but it sure does look great. Try turning it off and see if things get better. How is the EA ...

Hi Matt, Glad it didn't affect you. I can't believe I missed that though. Must be getting old How much ram is on the new laptop? Also, what virus protection are you using? McAfee in particular really nails performance. I put AVG on my Vista ...

Beta11 Bug Fix — Hi All, Well, it's been a while since I had a bug fix version out, but here it is The bug was in the TrailingPSAR function. Actually it was 2 bugs. One only I would have noticed and it wouldn't affect the EA, but the other ...

Hi Ken, I think I found it. You're using the PSAR TS I'll bet. I'll post the fix in the next few minutes. Sorry about that. It was in the Legacy flag code I put in. I did that last and it looked fine, but I see where I made a mistake. Rick

Hi Ken, Hmmm, what type of trailing stop did you use ATR or PSAR? I never saw it scale out during a loss in testing, but I will attempt to duplicate this immediately and if I find it I will fix it quickly. Rick

Hi Apfx, Nice to see another P&F fan. There is a nice atricle on P&F for Forex in this month's Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. Your blog is a masterpiece! Rick

Trading with Point and Figure

Beta10 Release — Well, here is Beta 10. It only has a portion of the MM I promised. I will finish the rest this week. I am almost done, but don't want to rush it out before it is tested. I have added scaling out of trades to this version. The ...

Hi Orion, I didn't hear of any except that Matt was keen to get his TrailingPSAR set to original functionality. I am adding a bit more for this release (like Matt's PSAR flag )and will post it shortly. Rick

Beta 10 Update #2 — Hi Supernovae, I am currently implementing scaleout in profit, scaleout in loss, and pyramiding. Scaleout in profit will be done today, but the other 2 won't and I apologize for that. Just not enough time. I completely ...

Beta 10 Progress — Hi Supernovae, Just got scaling out on the profit side working and am about to do the same for the loss side. Last is pyramiding. I have a question, though. Would anyone be interested in an option to scale out progressively? ...

Hi Matt, That is really helpful! Thanks for your hard work. I cannot blame Dave if he is late. As a programmer, I know that all time estimates are pure fiction Rick

Hi Matt, That is really great! My test from when I was in Helsinki used just QQE entry and fixed TP's and has also done well on the lower TF's. Like you, I am mostly a longer TF trader, but as I have said many times, SN seems to be able to handle ...

More Thought On Scalping — Hi All, Inre-reading my posts, I think I have given the impression that i don't scalp or tatr SN is not good for scalping. Neither is true. I like to scalp because I like the challenge, but I approach scalping from ...

Hi Wolfe, I have also heard horror stories from equities traders. Forex is a bit wilder, but some equities brokers that are also market makers will move a market to take out stops same as Forex. Heck, even Pimco (where Bill Gross works) is being ...

Followup — I should also mention that since MBT has an SDK, I can write a true black box. MBT has no native charting. Ninjatrader, OpenQuant, e-Signal, etc all charge for their platforms and feeds. If you don't mind using MT4 to view price and ...

Hi Wolfe, Thanks for that info. To be honest, I have always approached the markets with the thought that either the brokers or the market makers were not acting in my best interests. That is why I trade mostly on the 4HR and Daily charts. This keeps ...

Hi Matt, I agree with all your points about IBFX. It doesn't usually affect me much as I usually trade the H4 and above. I actually like to scalp, but with a non-ECN broker you are at their mercy. When I switch to an ECN broker, I will scalp a bit ...

Hi Matt, OK, I know you are an enthusiastic user of PSAR TS and I like it too. I will add a flag to switch between a BE start and the straditional start (and I will probably use it, as well). Just one kid, my daughter. It was her reward for good ...

Hi Matt, Yes, I am with IBFX and the widening is really troubling. I remember a while back that they said that the live servers don't show this behavior to the same degree as the demo servers, but I haven't compared my live account during news ...
