Twas the Days Before Xmas

and it was as quiet as a mouse. Waiting for the ECB had a lot to do with it too. Volumes are very low. Only two trades this morning in the DAX. Adding insult to injury, eSignal dropped the Eurex feed for almost half an hour. I switched to the TradeStation feed into MultiCharts rather than the Market Delta/eSignal combination I usually use for discretionary trading.


Having complained about that, I'm really satisfied with the two trades so far today in the quiet market. Although "Greed is Good", I also think about: "Bulls make money. Bears make Money. But pigs get slaughtered."






I'm watching the MF Global affair unfold a little more today as Corzine appears before the U.S. House Agricultural Committee. We do need our industry regulators to get their act together and provide proper security to our futures trading funds. We pay NFA, exchange and other fees and don't seem to get much for it.

    otra cuestion que te queria hacer, era como hacerlo para diario, semanal y mensual
    aumentas el numero de ticks en las barras de rango, que parametros cambias para hacerlo para mayor espacio de tiempo porque hasta ahora el sistema es para intradia y no lo se aplicar para mas espacio de tiempo ya que aqui el tiempo no tiene importancia

    another question you wanted to do was how to do it for daily, weekly and monthly
    increase the number of ticks in the bar range, which parameters change to do it for longer time because so far the system is for intraday and will not be applying for more space of time since the weather here does not matter

    jenrique42, I use daily bars. I don't need anything higher.

    EL, so for longer term you use daily bars with the same parameters i.e cci 45, cci 6, etc..?
