My goal as a trader is to discover how dissipated and degenerate I can become and still execute my systems' calls. As to analytic ability, I find that I am less likely to say, "Oh, no, that can't be happening!" Now I say "Fuck me! I am going to code and test that absurdity!" If you remember the scene in Lawrence of Arabia where Peter O'Toole dances in the desert in his new lily white arab garb, that's what I do. My body sways to the gentle perambultions of the one-minute chart, while my head is beating out rap moves to the one-second. Never fear, NOTHING is OT on ET. As to it being my personal thread, it is more like a personal vendetta. I imagine that as a sponsor they are screaming to get it deleted or demoted. If so, I will just start it over. And over.
And now it is time to "Say something nice to the girl!" besides "Hi, cunt!" The attachment is my highly idosyncratically personal perversion of the capabilities of 11. It is an ultra-compressed one-minute chart of 120 days of data. Don't try that at home with 10.6. It reminds me of the dialogue in the beer commercial. A bunch of guys wander into a ladies fine literature reading group, seeing that there are babes there. They mingle and schmooze. One fine babe asks a scruffy sports guy, "Do you like "Little Women?" He replies with total naivete, "I like all kinds of women." As an unrepetent backtester, I want a chart that lets me see the whole abortive mess at one glance.
Right-click in the back-tester and select properties. You should be able to configure the Point Value in that dialog.
Although Im not an esignal user its obvious that version 11 was put out too soon, even if its still in beta. This reminds me of companies like Microsoft; when they put out new versions of windows knowing damn well its not even close to being ready for the mass market. Its the old proven gimmick of stretching the truth on the readiness of a new product launch to get the new revenues coming in. Truly bad business model.
Jay, thank you. I have been ragging on you mercilously, and you have taken it like a man. But trust me, I, may be old, but I am not stupid. I did that. Now YOU go fucking do it. I win, you lose. And ask your masters for a raise: "I don't NEED this shit! I TOLD you it wasn't ready for prime time. But Noooo. You had to fucking insist on releasing a piece of shit! And I have to take public shit from some old drunk who might be dead in the morning!" I may be amomynous, but I try not to post unless I think I am right. You catch me out, I will fucking apologize. But right now you owe me a lifetime description.
Who is the fucking customer here? Who pays YOU? The only reason I am putting up with this shit is that it temporarily amuses me. And I know I have a viabull alternative. Do YOU have a viable alternative to losing me writ large?
I am not quite sure how they make this happen, but the clock in 11 is running about 3 seconds behind the tape. Verified by the IB clock, which is almost always right.
Thanks for suggesting comparison to the windows clock. It agrees with 11 on my computer as well. But on a one-second chart the ticks are showing times 4 seconds later. I'll compare 10.6 to 11. And no sooner had I said IB was correct it went wrong.
