can I summarize what you said as follows,

an indicator that computes the standard deviation of all
the data upto the calculation point.

What you described can be implemented using scripts.

Basically you will use the heap object to store the various 'hits'.
Once you've decided to output, use the report object to display
the result in a report window, from which you can easily export
to a text file for further analysis.

You will need to decide when to accumulate hits and when to
reset the 'hits' in the heap.

If you encounter any problem, let us know and we will be glad
to help.

Hi Louis.  Yes, this is correct.  Each bar would calculate an upper band & lower
band based on
all of the data up to that point.  NOTE:  Ken coded an indicator called
xrangeband which
essentially does this but uses percentile bands.  I tried to modify this for my
needs but I'm not
having any success.  As always, I very much appreciate your help.

As part of the stability testing for NeoTicker, I am installing and running
different virus scanners and firewalls with NeoTicker.  The first one I
tried is the McAfee virus scanner and firewall.

There is no problem found with the McAfee virus scanner.  However,
the McAfee firewall will break eSignal 6.3.  This is true regardless of
whether NeoTicker is running or not.  The implication is some of the
eSignal stability problems are related to firewalls (McAfee and
other brands).

I am unable to tweet the McAfee firewall to a point that eSignal will
work.  I am not an expert of the McAfee product so a solution may exist.
I just don't have a one.

Some other firewall will work fine with eSignal.  Our company uses a
dedicate
machine that does packet filtering as the office firewall and eSignal works
fine with our office firewall.

The McAfee virus scanner and firewall does not create any problem for
other data feeds.

I have esignal not responding at times ( shown in task manager) could this be a firewall problem.

Its usually ok with N/T on its own, but if I run the esig program (even  on its own) I have this problem, as a result, I am unable to use the esig program.

I use Mcafee Anti virus but zone alarm (free) as firewall.

Lois

First I want to thank you all for showing me how to use the color
study indicator. It is just great!!!!!! I just absolutely love it.
Such a great visual aid to notice the subtle changes in momentum etc.

Well, Lois, I am a request for you. I am not a good programmer...
actually I should say that I am not a programmer at all. I can
understand the concept you were trying to explain, but I could not
even start to write the code. Is it possible for you to atleast do a
skeleton code that does the actual pattern search and report it? I
maybe able to modify it further. I am not even sure I can do that
too. :(

Hope you all have a great day and good trading everyone

I use NTEOD version 2.73. I am noticing that last Good Friday
(3/29/02) does not appear as a holiday on my charts. When I checked
my menu bar, I don't see any holiday list manager as menu option. I
tried setting everything to default settings, but my holiday list
manager has vanished!

Is there a fix for this or that Holiday list manager is not a feature
of NTEOD?

Thank you very much for your help
AM

As a follow up to this and my already mentioned problem with the
holiday list manager, 29-Mar-2002 appeared as a gap in all my
intraday and eod charts in NT2.72 despite them all being switched to
use the default 'US Stock' calendar which contains that date as a
holiday.

Louis, I have tried the "Add List" function but it is not working.
My computer locks up & I have to reboot.  I start out by opening a
chart, then adding a data series.  Then I click on chart manager and
then "add list".  When I try to add a symbol, that's when my computer
freezes.  Am I doing something wrong?  Perhaps you could take me
through a detailed example of how to use this function?  I really
don't understand how I can open multiple charts at the same time
using this feature.  WISH LIST SUGGESTION:  Currently one must first
open a time chart and then add a data series.  It would be nice if
when one chooses Window-Open...an open file dialog would pop up that
would allow the user to choose a directory path and then choose
either a single data file OR multiple data files to open.  Then when
the user clicks "Open", the program would create a chart/window for
each data file chosen.

Best Regards

Holiday list does not work right in many Win95/98/ME installation
and has been disabled.

You have to use Win NT/2000/XP in order to have it functional.

It looks like you are doing the right thing.  The procedure is for add list:
1. Add a data to a chart
2. Press Add List, then specify a symbol list
3. The symbols in the list will be added to the chart, using the first
     data series as a template.

I can't reproduce the crash.  Can you tell me which symbol list you are
adding and what kind of data series you've added to the chart?  Also
if the crash is reproducible.  Thanks.

I've tested ZoneAlarm 2.6.362 with NeoTicker.

I've found no problem running NeoTicker with ZoneAlarm.  However
for eSignal 6.3, in one occasion, the eSignal program has trouble launching
the Turbofeed manager, but this problem is not reproducible.

In ZoneAlarm, I allow full access including server for NeoTicker,
eSignal and Turbofeed manager.

There is no known issue with ZoneAlarm and other data feeds.

I have minimal programming experience.  I'm barely good enough to write simple
VBA macros
for Excel.  However, It is my intention to learn how to program in one of the
languages that
Neoticker will accept so I won't have to bother Ken, Lawrence & Louis so much.

1)  Which of the programming languages would be easiest for me to learn?

2)  Is there a "Programming for dummies" book available?  There is such a book
written for VBA
for Excel.  This really helped speed up my learning curve.  As a beginner I am
looking for some
materials that will hold me by the hand and take be through the basics before
moving on to the
more advanced concepts.

Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated!

We are close to finishing the coding for NeoTicker 2.8
(realtime version).

We want to know if users prefer a beta program.  The
beta will be released in about a week and we will closely
follow up on bug fixes, etc.

Before 2.8,  we usually do the beta testing in house
but NeoTicker has grown to a point it is difficult to
catch all the bugs ourselves.

Want to hear your opinions.  Thanks.

Decision Time:

a)  DELPHI - Most examples are in DELPHI, this would be easiest to learn since there are so many examples.  You will probably never use Delphi for anything other than Neoticker.

b)  VBSCRIPT - This knowledge would be highly leveragable to other things such as Excel AND you have some experience. It's also easy, just fewer examples.  For NeoTicker, its slightly more challenging than DELPHI, IMHO.  VBSCRIPT is a very useful skill.

c) JAVASCRIPT - This is very common for web authoring and is the most popular of the three.  However, Microsoft is trying to push it out of the Windows architecture, it is also the most complex language, and there are even fewer examples.

I recommend VBSCRIPT since you also use VBA in Excel.

Lawrence and others,

I few things I would like to see to improve my productivity. I realize the
next release is already locked down.


- data window wishes
    -- a shortcut key to pop it up
    -- a user option to set the window type to "always on top".
    -- If I click on the tool icon and it is already selected (or light in
color) and it is not visible, NT assume I want to close the window. I would
like it to pop to the top.  I think that it is correct W2K action, but
currently it closes the data window, then I need to click on the icon again
to make it reappear.  Same is true if I do this via the main popup menu, If
Data View Window is checked,   Don't know if it is worth your time to
change this since it conforms to windows standards ( i think?).  If you
provided an Always On Top option then every time I clicked on the icon
would be to open the data window.

- Toolbar wishes
    -- I want the ability to be able to right double click or some
shortcut/hot key to cause the toolbar to appear.  The location would be
where I double click from.  It would be for a one time use and disappear
after I click on an Icon.  If that icon had templates associated with it,
then that sub-list/menu would pop up.


- Time and Sale window
    -- The ability to pause  the scrolling in the window.  When I take it
off of pause it skips to the current or scrolls to the current time/sale it
is up to you - Skip to current is ok with me.
    -- Ability to select fonts
    -- Ability to filter records displayed via a filter - My first choice is
on Volume  -- Ex.   volume > 1000  then display

- Main Popup window
    -- It is too long. it needs to be customizable.  There are a number of
things I have never used.  I am sure it is the same for many others, but
-  I confident in saying, they have a different set of 'daily use or
favorite' menu items.

Chart Mgr  --> Objects tab
It would be nice to be able to see the start and end date/times.  There
have been times I go to delete an object as it is no longer valid and there
have been 'extra' trend lines (as an example).  I guess I clicked or dbl
clicked or something (obviously)!!!  If it truly was an error, most of the
times it was with both start and end at almost, if not the same point.  The
problem I am having is this. When I select an object, it could be one of
two possible, but very different scenarios.   Scenario One - it is a
historical object, that I want to keep, but is off the current visual
window and I don't see it when I select it.  The second is an object that
is on the screen, but is not immediately obvious to the eye, because I am
looking for a line not a point.  Do I delete the selected object or
not.  That is the real problem - the delete key.    ; - (

Question - What does happen to objects that are associated with a window
that are old?  An Old object has a start and/or end date & time prior to
the start of the data being used to create the chart.  I would hope they do
not go away, but stay in the file,   From time to time I do like to load a
lot of data and zoom out to be able to get a better picture of what I did,
why and see how it fits into the big picture instead of only see the
current right side of the chart.

John

One thing I want to add here in favor of VBScript is the source code
debugger of VBScript.
It makes it much easier for you to understand the problems of your code
than
to put in lots of print statements to see which values your variables
have
and to track the execution flow through your scripts.

>>> mrjerryhobby@... 04.04.2002 05:03:39 >>>

  Decision Time:
a)  DELPHI - Most examples are in DELPHI, this would be easiest to
learn since there are so many examples.  You will probably never use
Delphi for anything other than Neoticker.
b)  VBSCRIPT - This knowledge would be highly leveragable to other
things such as Excel AND you have some experience. It's also easy, just
fewer examples.  For NeoTicker, its slightly more challenging than
DELPHI, IMHO.  VBSCRIPT is a very useful skill.
c) JAVASCRIPT - This is very common for web authoring and is the most
popular of the three.  However, Microsoft is trying to push it out of
the Windows architecture, it is also the most complex language, and
there are even fewer examples.
I recommend VBSCRIPT since you also use VBA in Excel.
Jerry

   maxreturn1 <cjh@...> wrote: I have minimal programming
experience.  I'm barely good enough to write simple VBA macros
for Excel.  However, It is my intention to learn how to program in one
of the languages that
Neoticker will accept so I won't have to bother Ken, Lawrence & Louis
so much.

1)  Which of the programming languages would be easiest for me to
learn?

2)  Is there a "Programming for dummies" book available?  There is such
a book written for VBA
for Excel.  This really helped speed up my learning curve.  As a
beginner I am looking for some
materials that will hold me by the hand and take be through the basics
before moving on to the
more advanced concepts.

Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated!

yes, I would participate in a beta program and test the
functions I use anyway. But please do not make the
mistake to relay only on the user beta tests, I see them as
a valuable add on to your own beta tests.

For long term usage I would recommend thinking
about an automated testing tool. I have made very good
experiences with that sort of tools in a big standard software
project with more than 20.000 installations and 2-3 releases
per year. Of cause you have to put in much effort in building
the testscripts but this investment pays off with every release
you can test automatically.

Nice Regards,

Franz

Subject: Re: [neoticker] Is a beta program for 2.8 a good idea?

At this point I would agree an 'user' beta might be a good thing.  I am willing to participate, but it will have to be limited, as I will be out of town on vacation starting 4/12.  Off-line testing and limited time on some nights only.  I should be able to participate in the future ones.

Here is the more updated what's new for 2.8.  You may notice
some features/bug fixes are marked "not done".  We are still working
on those.

Louis

----------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features and Improvements

DDE Link Manager

- NeoTicker can now continuous update an external application such as Excel
through DDE link. The DDE link manager provides the user interface to set up
such DDE link

Time Frame Manager

- A centralize place to create time frames. You specify information such as
trading hours, holidays, time or bar driven and associate these information
with a specific name. Currently, only the DDE Link Manager supports time
frames created by the Time Frame Manager. Time frame service will be
available to other windows such as charts in upcoming releases.

Top List Function Window

- A new type of function window.

- For internet feed such as Quote.com, eSignal and MyTrack, the top list
function window reports the top list sent out by the Internet data provider.
Examples of top list are highest volume in NY, most active in NY, etc.

- For M3 users, NeoTicker creates customized top list.

Formula-driven Tick Filter

- NeoTicker introduces a new type of tick filter. Currently you can apply
individual tick filter to data series in charts.

- The filter is user customizable using NeoTicker's formula language. You
can decide whether to filter ticks based on condition written using
NeoTicker's formula language. Furthermore, you can modify tick value, volume
and time information using formulas.

- Usages:

- Filter out bad ticks

- Modifying tick value

- Modifying tick volume

- Modifying time stamp (e.g. time warpping effect such as diluating one hour
of trading into three hours).

- A Tick Filter Manager is provided as the user interface


Quote Window

- You can now auto sort by timer

- Sorting accuracy has been improved. Digits that are outside of the
significant value of cell display are now used in sorting

- Quote window now supports formatting. Cells can be formatted globally or
by column

- Quote window column properties form can now switch to another column by

using the new switch column arrows button

- Quote window now have tool buttons to help speed up common operations.
This option can be easily turn off in main window>visual tab.

Time Chart

- You can re-arrange the display order of data and indicators. For example,
display one indicator underneath a data, another indicator on top of the
data.

- User panel in charts to let beginner users get to work quickly (easily
turn off in main window>visual tab). The user panel lets new user enter
symbol, indicators, adjust days to load and managing panes without going
through the popup menus.

- Intelligent new indicator placement. For a new indicator, it will create
new pane if needed or find a pane that is suitable for the indicator. This
option can be easily turn off in main window>visual tab.

- Pressing the arrow keys will scroll the chart one bar at a time

- New bar spacing adjustment (buttons, shift+ and shift-) that adjusts chart

zoom level at 1/20 of the regular zoom level

- Custom days to load can now help you estimate the number of days to load
based on a calendar day

- Ctrl-F11 is now a short cut to capture chart image to file

- Chart grid line can be turn on for horizontal only, vertical only, all, or
none

- Show all and hide all for data, indicator, drawing objects in chart
manager

- Improved tolerance for drag and dropping data and indicators between panes

- You can pan a price axis directly by dragging the price axis area. If you
hold the shift key, you can rescale the price axis. This operation will
automatically turn off auto scaling.

- Time chart now supports mouse wheel scrolling

- Bar space is better preserved during refresh and morning morning restart

- Improved scroll to end behavior during morning restart

- Candle stick now supports hollow drawing type

- Session break drawing is now supported

- Data view now supports user defined colors and background

Indicators

- New indicator meta style - region. A region of the chart is colored
according to indicator value

- Parameter entry UI has been updated for the following indicators - fml,
fml2, vol formula, highlight, highlight bar, color fml

- Highlight fml can change position to any formula result, not just high/low

- Almost all indicators have been internalized for performance. Indicators
that are expected to be modified by users are in script form, e.g. trading
systems.

- New and improved markers (up, down, left, right). All markers line up to
exact price point

- New indicators are introduced:

- aroon up, aroon down and aroon oscillator

- bar since

- cumulate

- gap, gap up, gap down

- highest, highest bar

- lowest, lowest bar

- MACD modified

- max, min

- ADX rating

- Adaptive moving average

- zig zag

- value when (status: unfinish)

script formula - DT or DateTime

Holiday Lists

- Import/Export holiday lists

Trading Systems

- More transaction object methods - linkid barsnum

Main Window

- "Program>Internet Options" has been renamed to "Internet Options for Web
EOD Data"

- Better explaination for the large caption/regular caption option in main
window

Data Feed

- In disk cache, there is a new option "Auto Verify Cache". When a cache
file is missing, if this option is set, then data is always request from the
server. If this option is not set, then data is not request from the server
unless it is today's data. Turning off "Auto Verify Cache" avoids attempts
to reload data in empty spots inside the cache and speeds up loading. The
performance boost is especially noticable for long term minute charts.

- MyTrack support (beta). Currently support minute time frames and above,
Level 2 and news. What is missing:

- subminute time frames (seconds, ticks)

- volume distribution

- option chain


Indicator Writing

- For datetime and formula parameters, you can now set the field type to
such. When the indicator is in used, the user can use the respective UI for
these parameters for easy data entry

Misc

- If you have customized colors in a color dialog, the colors are saved and
will be available in all color dialogs. This lets you easily create
consistent colors among different parts of the program.

- Ability to send symbol list directly between function windows without
first saving the symbol list to a file

- Many managers are moved from the Program menu to the new Manager menu to
reduce the size of the Program menu

Bugs Fixed

- In quote window, create a new blank line, click on the new blank line,

sort ascending, then click on the first row will cause a symbol to

disappear

- Keep pressing the clear button in ticker setup can cause a crash in a

complex group setup

- Floating point overflow in formula causes crash

- Extremely large value indicator in chart causes crash

- The formula reference help page link is broken in the script editor

- Disabled icons is completely gray, not hollow

- 'disablesafemode' is broken for Win95/98/ME for holiday list

- 2nd monitor to right will cause the drop down combo display away from the
TopGrid control (status: not done)

- eSignal CET (GMT + 2) data loading problem in eSignal, GMT + 3 not working
(status: not done)

- dataview column width save and restore corrected

- esignal news processing could affect data collection

- Excel object setvalue call will no longer attempt to rename newly recreate
workbook to specified name as various versions of excel have different
behaviour towards this workflow.

- Scroll to end problem for some chart spacing (status: fixed, not verified)

- Bar driven chart too many ticks - quote.com (status: under investigation)

- Quote window background color restore incorrect

- Further refinement of close to edge scrolling and setting of zero right
side bar permitted

- Set default in indicator setup window missed some values (status: not
done)

Now I now why these "strange" prices occur:

when the entry price is calculated NT takes the
entryprice * pricemultiple. Wouldn't it be better not
to calculate the net amount paid for the position and
leave the entryprice instead, as it appears on the
chart ?

Comments welcome.

Michael

Laurence,


Is it true that the 2.8 version of neoticker (not the M3 version) will be
able to use a  mytrack data feed and if so what is the cost of the real time
feed. Neoticker with mytrack is exactly what I am  looking for.


Kind regards,




Andrew

Yes, NeoTicker will have beta support for myTrack
in 2.8 verison.

The fee for the real time myTrack with NeoTick could
be as low as US$45/month . With US$19.98/month for the
basic real time plan + US$25.00/month for the SDK
activation to allow NeoTicker to run on myTrack.

Of course if you need to track different exchange you
need additional exchange fees. Please go to myTrack
website for more detail:

Ken,


Thank you very much for that information. Its the response I have been
waiting for since last summer.

Kind regards,


Andrew

Just a note the myTrack support is beta.  There are several
missing pieces: no tick data, no second data, no option chains.

We expect to put these in eventually.
