I do have a few hives that are still chugging along. Those sort of rebuild themselves as they go, which definitely makes them more robust. I hadn't checked the genetic USM systems on Gold though - that's very cool.
Hi Galaxy, If you search for "ascii" in the help file (help - W59 help), there's an example there. Basically, go: 1) file - new - chart, then check "offline". 2) Click the "browse" button that pops up over the symbol tab 3) choose "ascii" (middle option, on top) 4) The first time you load a file, yo...
Hi gang, I had some free time, and thought it would be fun to pull up an ES chart and apply some of the mechanical systems I've built over the years. I never expect systems to last forever, and there's even a whole discussion about this in the Mechanical Trading book, but even though I know that int...
I've been able to come up with all sorts of things on daily bars, but anytime I get the itch to build an intraday system, I tend to get whacked. It's really an issue of the churn. Back in my early 20's, when the big SP was still the thing to trade, I did manage to trade a semi-mechanical system with...
If you go format - chart, there's a "grid/thickness tab" which has a "screen font size" setting. That will change axis fonts, etc, but won't get everything. For the components in the framework, you might have to mess with your global Windows font settings, which would do it. Of course, your magnifie...
Yeah, file read/write would be the way to do that. Just make sure the time frame is the same so your timestamps line up properly. I'd use dots of different colors to show buy/sell/exit, and you can also use text objects to mark things...
I've thought about messing around with it for systems, but whenever I've had the time, I end up asking it philosophical questions instead and discussing the nature of the universe with it. I think the core tech is pretty amazing. The way I'd see it being most useful is actually as a research assista...
