Access violation when opening order management?

Hey has anyone else been receiving an access violation when trying to open order management? I have tried connected to IB using both the IB Gateway and Trader Workstation and I receive this error regardless. I have tried complete uninstalls, tried installing both Wave59 v2.35 and v2.36 and I am stil...

Re: Any Hive users?

I created a couple hundred hives last year when I was playing around with that feature. I'm traveling right now but I made a reminder to look at my notes when I get back and will let you know the combination of indicators I had some success with. Most of the hives I tried and failed to create were a...

Hosting an MTS

In case anyone is interested in hosting an MTS they have built on a VPS closer to an exchange, I've been using the following for the last 8 months. https://www.speedytradingservers.com/ They aren't the best VPS you can buy out there but I have had no issues with them so far and they are a bit cheape...

Re: Finally enabled my first mechanical system

Congrats on taking your first system live :) If it makes you feel any better, I just turned off my MVS system I shared last year as it did nothing but lose money on my live account for 6 straight months so I've definitely learned this isn't easy. Also, sounds like your system bought just before the ...

Re: MVS with Adaptive Batch Exit and Adaptive CTS

Just in case anyone stumbles across this in the future and decides to give this system a go.... don't. I turned it off after letting it run for 6 months on my live account. It did nothing but lose money. I'm pretty sure I over optimized and overall made it far too complicated. I have since built a n...

Re: Systems Workshop: "Buttonwood" E-mini daytrading system

Hi Earik, I finally had time to come back to Buttonwood. I turned off my previous version several months ago as I suspected something may have changed with the weather filters as Buttonwood was trading every day without any gaps which was greatly impacting its performance. I just now had time to inv...

Re: MVS with Adaptive Batch Exit and Adaptive CTS

Hi Sheikh, Sorry, I didn't respond earlier. Life got busy and I wasn't able to check the forums for a while. To answer your question, yes, I'm still running this same system. I've tried adding improvements but still have not come up with anything better. Below is an update. As I finished the system ...

Re: Systems Workshop: "Buttonwood" E-mini daytrading system

After it happens to you once or twice, you just assume that the market is out to mess with you personally, and you take actions to make it harder... Yeah, certainly seems to be the case sometimes :D And legging into systems sounds like a good idea. I'll probably start doing that in the future as we...

Re: MinorPivot System

This is great, thank you for sharing :) What indicator is creating the black dots on the end of some of the bars? It won't be too hard to code, but I'll have to experiment around with identifying the pivots and may have to use a regular expression for that if I'm not able to use the black dot indica...
