Hey cnms2... can you help me out with the formula for the painbar studies if you don't mind...thanks...
The top bar is based on Price Channel (6) because 6*5min=30min if (price.Channel.Upper-price.Channel.Lower)>=4 set Color to Green and stop else set color to Red and stop displayed as Band Bottom The bottom bar uses Volume+EMA (5) if vol+EMA,vol >=10000 set Color to Green and stop else set color to Red and stop displayed as Band Top
You've probably already figured out the solution to the arrow glitch, but if not, here it is. Hold down the ALT key only until you've pressed the mouse button for your 1st point of the trendline. Then draw the trendline. You shouldn't see the arrow.
I've done another IB Excel DOM that's different enough I thought others might be interested in it. It moves up and down the price ladder, has less distracting visuals (to my taste, obviously), and is based on IB's TWS demo instead of Mak's program. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to remove my username and other identifying info from the file in order to post it here. Can someone more expert tell me how to remove it? Thanks, palinuro
In Excel, select all tabs and do Find-Replace All (yourId to userId) and save as a new file. This gets rid of your IB userid and makes it easy for someone else to reverse the process. This is not all, though: Excel still leaves traces of your Windows username all over the place. So if you want to prevent this, you can switch user in Windows XP (i.e. to another user account called palinuro for example) and save the file you want to post in your shared folder before posting it here, and all the file tags will now refer to this user name. It's a hassle but you are right to be cautious. Hope that helps - I'm interested to see how you get it to move up and down the ladder.
Thanks, PointOne - since I started out learning Excel charts by right-clicking on yours to figure out how it worked, I'm happy to have something to offer you... I'm still having trouble, though. Find and Replace got 65(!) instances of my userid, but when I looked at the file in Word, I found one more, which I still can't get rid of. Any other ideas? Meanwhile, if you just want to get your DOM moving, I could PM you the vba code, though the details depend on how the chart is set up. palinuro
I have a question on Execution software: I use Ninja Trader for sim trading. I would like to try a new strategy where I enter an order in the other direction when I see a signal for change. I would like to do this with my old position still open, effectively hedging any market exposure. When my signal for change is confirmed or denied, I would like to remove one side of the hedge. The problem I have with Ninja Trader is that when I try this it auto closes the old position, even though I never told it to do so. Does any one know if there's a way to switch off this function in Ninja Trader? If there isn't, does any one know Execution software that does not have this problem and that I can use for sim trading?
