Wave59 Technologies

Earik,

It would be great if we could have 30 second and 10 second bars available for charting on Wave 59. That's standard on all other platforms now, and opens up a whole new world.

What do you think?

Todd

Doable.

That would be terrific, Earik. To revise my original request: I should have said 30 second and 15 second bars, not 10 second. We need these. Lot's of relevant information to be had at those levels.

Thanks!

Todd

Hi Todd,

I'd probably just do it as a setting where you enter however many seconds you want. So 1 second up to whatever.

Earik

Hi Earik,

Yes, of course, that would be perfect. So...next week?

Todd

So...next week?

LOL. I wish. Every now and then, I get totally bogged down in c++ quicksand with the W59 codebase, which is how I feel right now. This last Mercury retrograde was not fun.

Hey Todd!

How long do you hold your position if you trade off 15 sec chart?? Just curious ))

regards,

Sure, it's not a question of how long to hold a position. It's a matter of controlling risk with cleaner entries/exits. Market time series fractals behave the same way as you "drill down" into increased sampling quantization. So that's it. Those smaller time frames are important these days.

Hope that helps!

Yes, having bars on sub-minute time frames would be useful in my intraday trading too. If I could add to the discussion, it would also be very helpful to be able to pass variables from one script to another without having to write them to a file. The process of writing, reading and parsing the files seems to be a drag on the speed at which the scripts can run. I think the kinds of things I'd like to monitor on a sub-minute time frame would work better if the system didn't have to go through the read-write process.
