Re: CSV DATA USE IN W59

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...

The most robust system

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...

Re: Mechanical Systems for Intraday

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...

Re: Scale setting from Qscript

Yeah, you can't really do it from a script. Has to be from the format chart.

Re: Wave59 Text size

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...

Re: SYSTEM TRADE SIGNALS FROM ONE CHART PRINTED ON ANOTHER

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...

Re: ChatGPT

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...

Re: 180 degrees difference...why?

I've met hundreds and hundreds of Gann traders. They all seemed to be very knowledgeable, and many of them were able to do deep dives into Gann's coded messages and hidden techniques that really surpassed anything that I was ever able to decode reading through his stuff. I met a couple that told me ...
