Re: Y-axis and X-axis No Z-axis.
Instead of total volume or open interest, maybe holding the largest single order size during that particular timeframe. (I am thinking small timeframes here. Like 1min bars or tick bars.)

Re: Systems Workshop: "Buttonwood" E-mini daytrading system
Hi Orionsbelt, I already tried the 95Trend (as well as Ehler's Even Better Sinewave indicator). Neither really seemed to help. But here is what I did for the 95trend: if (barnum==barsback) { signal=0; } # Get the Value of 95Trend trend = 95Trend(); if (trend > 0) signal=-1; if (trend < 0) signal=1; ...

Re: Versioning of QScripts
Nice!
It is a little too simple! I will have to find a way to over-complicate this.
(just kidding, thanks for the response. Much easier than what I was planning on building out. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of the Wave59 crowd as well.)

Versioning of QScripts

My current machine I keep in a pristine state and have practically zero software installed on it as it is my "production machine." Normally I did all of my work after market hours or the weekend. My quest...

I normally would post all the stuff that I have tried and failed, but I do not want to sway anyone from not trying various indicators. I really love the fractal indicator, so I am trying to fo...

Re: MACD Histogram
PS: welcome to our group.
Wave59 tends to buck the mainstream, so definitely ask questions. Always a lot to learn over here.

Re: Systems Workshop: "Buttonwood" E-mini daytrading system
@orionsbelt, To answer your question around signal vs. plot. plot is a reserved word for QScript which plots. (Take a look at the QScript help on it for examples.) The word signal is just something that Earik chose to act as a variable to use to track if we should be short or long. (He could have ca...
