hey couch - do you think you could post a couple of your setups at the end of the day, if it's not too much trouble of course

 

[acouch]

as you can see the one shown with the gap to be filled, the other is my trading chart, and of course you see the road map every day
hope this is of some help

I looked at Fib trader once, liked it but trying to scroll the screen drove me nuts !

I couldn't find even basic chart controls like ... lets say the bars were really tall and skinny and I wanted to shorten the length and fatten them a bit. Is there an easy way to do that? You screen dump of Fib Trader looks good

(I have of course assumed the second chart of fib trader )

Cheers

hi freddo,
yes second shot is ft..to thicken the bars you left click on the ft banner top of chart there you can make ajustments..but you are right it isn't a very user friendly software.
for those of us that use it, some of us have been very fortunate over time that frank did so much work on it..gave us some guidelines..but still it can drive you crazy setting it up .but it is all there if you have the patience.

Hey Freddo and Julius,

have either of you tried CQG data factory?
https://www.cqgdatafactory.com/

I stumbled upon them the other day and went through the process of purchasing spi data. It says they have historical tick data back to 2000 but there were a few caveats.
I didn't go through with the purchase but will try buying a months worth just to check it out.

Regards,
Julian.

jools we both got ours from adest and its rubbish...i'm going to look at purchasing some from tickdata.com but it is $xpensive$

Julian

Never heard of them but thanks for the link.

I'm trying to work out how much they charge.

Cheers
Freddo

freddo check these guys out to : http://www.tickdata.com

they are supposed to be top notch

 

[Freddo]

Thanks Julius.
I see what you mean by expensive,
they are supposed to very good though

 

[Freddo]

Seriously Fiboncacci Trader has the WORST chart controls I have ever come across.

Thank goodness Metastock and Amibroker are soo much easier

check out my chart in the trial copy looks like....

And do you think I can compress those bars????

Have looked at http://www.fibonaccitrader.com/HELP40/default.htm
where it says click on the little boxes... little freaking things are about 1 x 1 pixels in size

Anybody know how to drive this thing?

freddo,
to expand the bars..left click on mouse along the bottom of the chart where the time is..this will expand the bars if you run the mouse above that on the chart, this will move the chart back/forward..
she is tricky that is for sure

[acouch]

oops..on your chart..it is where the dates are down the bottom

Thanks ac... that worked
LOL if I click on the little arrows pointing vertically together which I thought would shorten or compress the bars they get bigger, If I click on the arrows point away from each other they still get bigger

Sorry everyone I know this isn;t purely SPI related I am trying to build some testing of FrankD's work as well as Fibonacci for the SPI

 

[julius]

nothing is intuitive with FT...you just have to keep trying until you work it out

it has some great functions but as a whole i find the lack of flexibility pretty tough

I find it very hard to find helpful sites. Every one I go to spends half the description talking about Japanese bricks!

Whilst knowing how the bricks are formed I have yet to find how to trade them. Bricks size would seem to need be set to an appropriate size for varying price stocks. Setting charts to use the closing price, H/L/C or O/H/L/C etc gives a totally different chart.

I like the idea of them as they filter out noise and time. Good luck and I'd like to hear how you go.

 

[Trembling Hand]

Boy! this is getting ugly. Was thinking Japans open might help but nope.
