  2. Whats the best java/web based futures charts that allow for drawing channels and allows you to expand the chart. Dont care about the cost. Reason being the firewall at work wont allow vendors such as IQ feed to connect to quotetracker for example.. Looking for an alternative. I took a look at prophet but I'm not likeing what I'm seeing...

  4. Agreed! Prophet is garbage! I sent in a bug fix several times over the course of a year. It was never fixed. On top of that, they could not render the current bar properly. Everything else for the platform was pretty good and I had the full tilt subscription. I cut them loose when they said they declined to fix the render issue...

  5. See if this view helps ....

    Note the Channels. Note the gaussians and how the FTT signals the retrace then the reversal on the both price and Volume.

  8. IQFEED and IB have always been my work horse as far as data has been concerned. Prophet was for remote stuff and equities since I was not too concerned about immediate data. The move to futures pushed IQFEED/IB. I've had Tradestation for play and now I have Esignal for play. I also have ensign but I've been trying to cut them for weeks to no avail. Always a bloody answering machine. Then there are the accounts but none of those except IB are worth mentioning. Too much redundancy now that I see this post. Also EFX for forex. Again, for purposes of esignal is OK. For goodies, IQFEED/IB works well for me...

    Hello Spyder,

    A question about your chart.

    Why did you not mark the 10:30 bar as an FTT? To me it looked like, on ES and also on YM.

    regards,
    Ivo

  10. good to know...

    also i am sure it is a pain to re create by hand the Volume / Volitility Potentials Sheet...

    but i think we can do that with a cross tab query in MS Access which will take the last 20 days data that has been input into a table and display it as a summed and averaged matrix just as you have it now...

    then i can give you the accessDB and query and you just export the days 5 minute bars into excel each day with a formula to get the high low difference and each volume reading and then copy paste that into the Vol/Vol table and run the cross tab query and you could have the sheet updated everyday or every week or whenever without a lot of work.. just take a few minutes...

    cross tab queries are tricky so i use the words 'I Think'...

    something to consider down the road...
