4:44 pm:<Mike> Hello Christine2. Welcome to the Linn Software Chat room.
4:44 pm:<Christine2> hey everyone
4:44 pm:<Mike> nice chart you posted :)
4:45 pm:<Mike> Chad/Bill thoughts on a feature to auto post charts to a ftp site?
4:45 pm:<LS_Bill> Mike, in your AutoTrader trading order, the subject instrument (myTrack) is NO`M right?
4:45 pm:<Mike> yes
4:46 pm:<LS_Bill> what do you have as the
4:46 pm:<LS_Bill> Broker alias for NO`M
4:46 pm:<LS_Bill> in the setup for NO`M
4:46 pm:<Mike> ER2M6, tried ER2 though also
4:46 pm:<Daniel> need @
4:46 pm:<LS_Bill> ok, now, do you have ER2 setup in I/RT as a valid future type?
4:46 pm:<Mike> no Dan not for AT
4:46 pm:<Daniel> opps never mind
4:47 pm:<Mike> one sec Bill cpu maxed
4:47 pm:<LS_Bill> ER2 must be setup as a future type, otherwise I/RT cannot talk to Autotrader about ER2
contracts
4:47 pm:<LS_Bill> get an intel mac ;-)
4:48 pm:<Daniel> :D
4:48 pm:<Mike> yes Er2 is futur etype
4:48 pm:*** eyevee has joined us
4:49 pm:*** Jay has joined us
4:49 pm:<Mike> does AT need expiry in string?
4:49 pm:<Mike> Hello Jay. Welcome to the Linn Software Chat room.
4:49 pm:*** Jay has left
4:49 pm:<LS_Bill> looking at IRT handing of trading orders, if you had it setup this way you should see
"expiry=200606" in the order to autorader
4:50 pm:<LS_Bill> but the stuff you emailed me earlier did not show expiry, so this must be a setup problem,
or a bug.
4:50 pm:*** DTN-Jay has joined us
4:50 pm:<LS_Bill> NO`H must be setup as a future of course
4:50 pm:<Mike> right
4:50 pm:<Mike> NO`M is yes
4:50 pm:<LS_Bill> hi Jay
4:51 pm:<Mike> Bill hwo can i revert to 823 adn old db?
4:51 pm:<DTN-Jay> Hi Bill
4:51 pm:<Mike> Hello DTN-Jay. Welcome to the Linn Software Chat room.
4:51 pm:<LS_Bill> just replace the data_f folder Mike
4:51 pm:<Mike> ok
4:51 pm:*** ready has left
4:51 pm:<Daniel> Jay DTNMA has how many days back of Tick data download capability?
4:51 pm:<LS_Bill> 8 days I think
4:51 pm:<LS_Chad> guess I need to update this page ;) http://www.linnsoft.com/tour/volumeprofilechart.htm
4:52 pm:<LS_Bill> yes, a little behind chad
4:52 pm:<LS_Chad> couple changes made
4:52 pm:<Daniel> you sure Bill...I'm using the @ ES# continuos contract symbols and it looks like I get 10
4:52 pm:<LS_Chad> ha...didn't even have a scale...who did that lousy work
4:52 pm:<DTN-Jay> correct, 8 days of tick (calendar days)
4:52 pm:<LS_Bill> Jay, DTN Market Access is how we refer to the dtn historical server access
4:52 pm:<Daniel> ok
4:53 pm:<Mike> brb carpool
4:53 pm:<Daniel> so behind the 8 it gives me minute data?
4:53 pm:<Mike> Bill i try find cause later tonight again
4:53 pm:<LS_Bill> to distinguish with DTN. IQFEED and DTN Satellite
4:53 pm:<LS_Bill> ok Mike
4:53 pm:<LS_Bill> 120 days of one minute bars
4:53 pm:<DTN-Jay> gotcha
4:54 pm:<Mike> Bill i recall some asked about dtn after hours prices?
4:54 pm:<LS_Bill> you have to dl the minute bars first, then the ticks.
4:54 pm:<Daniel> huh..in a TPO chart?
4:54 pm:<Mike> was that you fcat?
4:54 pm:<Daniel> I just use 10 days back and the continous contract symbol and 10 days fill in
4:55 pm:<LS_Bill> DTN historcal server does no provide a daily bar (OHLC) until well into the evening
4:55 pm:<LS_Bill> daily historical downloads I mean
4:55 pm:<LS_Bill> of course, you can get the day's OHLC from intra-day if you have it
4:55 pm:<LS_Bill> using a scan
4:55 pm:<Daniel> are you saying that I am filling in a TPO chart with 8 days of ticks and 2 days of minute
data behind that?
4:56 pm:<Daniel> when I do a 10 day tick DL?
4:56 pm:<LS_Bill> after you have used IRT 2 more days you will have the last 10 days of ticks
4:56 pm:*** David has joined us
4:56 pm:<LS_Bill> each day you only need to dl that one day's ticks
4:57 pm:<LS_Chad> for those that haven't been using the betas, here is what volume profile looks like now
4:57 pm:<LS_Chad> http://www.linnsoft.com/tpo/charts/vp_vol_bs_color.jpg
4:57 pm:<LS_Bill> IRT will retain the last N days of ticks
4:57 pm:<Daniel> oh ok I see...I am missing 2 day son the end...
4:57 pm:<LS_Chad> also....posted a few chart defs here that some of you might be interested in
4:57 pm:<LS_Chad> http://www.linnsoft.com/tpo/charts.htm
4:58 pm:<fcat> y mike it was me
4:58 pm:<fcat> sorry was at the fridge
4:58 pm:<LS_Bill> daniel, if you do a dl of ticks and ask for 10 days, you get back 8 days worth. nothing more
4:58 pm:<Daniel> Bill btw way...it was the way I saved the ibprefs.txt file that rendered it useless.
4:59 pm:<Daniel> yeah I see that now Bill
4:59 pm:<LS_Bill> ok
4:59 pm:<Daniel> 9999 shows up now
4:59 pm:<Daniel> we'll see tomorrrow
4:59 pm:<LS_Bill> ok
5 pm:<LS_Bill> fcat do you use a scan get grab day's open , high, low close?
5 pm:*** krunch12b has left
5 pm:<fcat> no
5 pm:<LS_Bill> you can run that just after the close and post history to update yoru daily charts without
waiting for dtn daily bars
5 pm:<LS_Bill> just make sure you have intra-day data for all your instruments
5 pm:<fcat> feed is always active at open and close
5:01 pm:<LS_Bill> in that case you have OHLC
5:01 pm:<LS_Bill> so you can just post history and your charts will add the day's bar
5:01 pm:<fcat> yup
5:01 pm:<DTN-Jay> We are wrapping up some development that should reduce the time to post the current day's
bar too
5:01 pm:<LS_Bill> if you want the official DTN daily bar you scan schedule a 1 day download later in the
evening
5:01 pm:<LS_Bill> good Jay, this will help
5:02 pm:<Daniel> Jay do you have a link for the futures continuos contract symbols at DTN?
5:03 pm:<DTN-Jay> All auto rolling symbols are root + # (@es#, C#, etc)
5:03 pm:<DTN-Jay> The same history code being wrapped up will include daily continous contracts for those
symbols
5:03 pm:<fcat> yes I post session 0 everyday at 3:02 and session 31 at 3 :17
5:03 pm:<fcat> central time
5:03 pm:<Daniel> ok and ALL futures have continous contracts?
5:03 pm:<fcat> haven't had any daily bar issues doing so that way
5:04 pm:<fcat> always right on the money
5:04 pm:<DTN-Jay> pretty much "all" futures contracts
5:04 pm:<DTN-Jay> we still have some issues with the scheduling of the roll .. that is part of this release
too
5:04 pm:<Daniel> great
5:05 pm:<DTN-Jay> since some contracts roll trading before exp. - different rules for diff commodities
5:05 pm:<Daniel> yes
5:05 pm:<fcat> my issue has been getting pre/post market data from iq feed to flow into IRT
5:05 pm:<Daniel> bonds/oil/gold/ etc
5:05 pm:*** Cliff has joined us
5:05 pm:<fcat> it's incomplete
5:05 pm:<Daniel> into a chart?
5:05 pm:<Daniel> u still with that issue?
5:06 pm:<fcat> into anything
5:06 pm:<fcat> y dan
5:06 pm:<DTN-Jay> Pre and post market is sent in a different field in the feed.. that too is on our list of
things to change - plus adding pre/post data to intraday backfill
5:06 pm:<fcat> can't get last price
5:06 pm:<fcat> or complete tos
5:06 pm:<fcat> time and sales
5:06 pm:<LS_Bill> Jay, I'm working with Lonnie on that after market last price issue
5:06 pm:<Cliff> Jay, why are you changing field of pre- and post- data?
5:06 pm:<fcat> only bid/ask and vol
5:06 pm:<Daniel> hmmm
5:07 pm:<LS_Bill> seems that the last price is not being sent after hours, just bid ask, server bug we think
5:07 pm:<fcat> for example time and sales on aapl are ticking off right now
5:07 pm:<fcat> time is ok
5:07 pm:<fcat> vol is ok
5:08 pm:<fcat> last price just keeps repeating the closing price
5:08 pm:<fcat> bid/ask are correct in L2
5:08 pm:<DTN-Jay> Cliff - legacy reasons due to exchange regulations. They have some crazy rules for display
of the data..
5:08 pm:<fcat> last price just wrong
5:09 pm:<Cliff> Jay, thanks...will it still be possible to differentiate -post market data from regular
session in any way other than time?
5:10 pm:<DTN-Jay> That is our intention -yes
5:10 pm:<Cliff> Jay, I remain concerned with data coming in after 4 EST that is actually related to trades
that occured before 4 EST and is just being reported late--it has the potential to take on the appearance of
post-market activity when it is not
5:11 pm:<DTN-Jay> Yes.. we plan to provide an indicator with the last value to show what type of trade it is
5:12 pm:<Cliff> Jay, thank you
5:12 pm:<LS_Bill> I'm seeing AAPL tick now at different last prices in my time and sales window
5:12 pm:<LS_Bill> IRT maps the after market price from DTN IQ into "last trade" price
5:12 pm:<LS_Bill> so it now appears to be working fine here
5:13 pm:<LS_Bill> you not seeing that fcat?
5:13 pm:<fcat> you're kidding
5:13 pm:<Cliff> Bill, will IRT be able to recognize the indicator Jay's referring to so that the user can
exclude all data that does not include it thereby guaranteeing that the data relates to true post-market
activity?
5:13 pm:<fcat> I have 61.81 over and over in my time and sales
5:13 pm:<LS_Bill> I see a tick at 61.95 and then .94 and then .92
5:13 pm:<LS_Bill> then .96, it's moving
5:13 pm:<LS_Bill> hundred lot trades
5:13 pm:<LS_Bill> 1 lot
5:14 pm:<Daniel> fcta ..what is the session setup you are using
5:14 pm:<Daniel> fcat*
5:14 pm:<Daniel> 8 am to 8 pm?
5:14 pm:<LS_Bill> let me send you my user profile ;-)
5:14 pm:<fcat> session 31
5:14 pm:<Daniel> yes buts what sthe timein that session
5:14 pm:<LS_Bill> I'm using the day session ending 4:15pm
5:15 pm:<Daniel> in order for time and sales to report the correct time of the trades...the session must be
set correctly.
5:16 pm:<LS_Bill> fcat, I just figure it out
5:16 pm:<Daniel> cant expect to use a 9:30 - 4:15 session and have the trades time stamped properly
5:16 pm:<fcat> 3:30-3:15 dan central
5:16 pm:<LS_Bill> I was working with DTN IQ today and found a bug causing some IQ fields not to be transmitted
into IRT properly
5:16 pm:<Daniel> right so that is worng
5:16 pm:<LS_Bill> I just fixed that bug this afternoon
5:16 pm:<LS_Bill> turns out the "after market" last price was among those missed fields
5:16 pm:<Daniel> fcat its set wrong
5:17 pm:<fcat> beta 11 or 12 bill
5:17 pm:<LS_Bill> so this is a bug in IRT
5:17 pm:<LS_Bill> beta 11 will have this fixed.
5:17 pm:<fcat> great
5:17 pm:<fcat> ty bill
5:17 pm:<fcat> weeeeeeee
5:17 pm:<Daniel> that still wont fix it Bill
5:17 pm:<LS_Bill> ?
5:17 pm:<Daniel> it wont reprt the correc time of the trades
5:18 pm:<fcat> the correct time is reported now dan
5:18 pm:<fcat> in session 0 or 31
5:18 pm:<Daniel> it shows the correct time even though the session is not set up to fil the chart with data
during after hours?
5:19 pm:<fcat> trade just went off 100 shares at 16:18:43
5:19 pm:*** zonez has left
5:20 pm:*** arno has left
5:20 pm:<LS_Bill> 100 x 61.92
5:20 pm:<LS_Bill> I see it
5:21 pm:<fcat> yep except here it shows 61.81 of course
5:22 pm:*** arno has joined us
5:22 pm:<fcat> yes dan
5:22 pm:<fcat> chart set for session 0
5:22 pm:<LS_Bill> stale price sure
5:22 pm:<LS_Bill> this fix I made today was causing a number of fields to be missed actually
5:23 pm:<LS_Bill> for example, when first connecting to IQ, IRT now fills in tick count (count of trades
today), up volume, dn volume
5:23 pm:<Daniel> so I can use a day session only inst setup and IRT will fill in the chart with after hours
data with just a chart override?...you must be mistaken.
5:23 pm:<LS_Bill> and then IRT maintains these counts from the realtime feed going forward
5:24 pm:<fcat> not fill the chart but time and sales/L2 will display the data
5:25 pm:<Daniel> with the wrong time
5:25 pm:<Daniel> or no trades will show up
5:26 pm:<fcat> trades showing up right now with correct time
5:26 pm:<fcat> just wrong price
5:26 pm:<fcat> aapl set back to session 0
5:26 pm:<Daniel> hmmmm time and sales view only allows "edit" now..I cannot get to the windows prefs for
some reason
5:26 pm:<Daniel> fcat try this for me...
5:26 pm:*** Christine2 has left
5:26 pm:<fcat> fire away
5:27 pm:<Daniel> what the full session of the stock
5:27 pm:<Daniel> 8 am - 8 pm?
5:27 pm:<fcat> right now set to 8:30am-3:00pm cst
5:28 pm:<fcat> session 0 default
5:28 pm:<Daniel> ok...creat a custom stock session and call it full stock session or whatever name
5:28 pm:<Daniel> set it to 8 am to 8pm
5:29 pm:<Daniel> isnt 8 am to 8 pm the full session time of when stocks trade including pre and post regular
trading hours?
5:29 pm:<fcat> done
5:30 pm:<Daniel> isnt 8 am to 8 pm the full session time of when stocks trade including pre and post regular
trading hours?
5:30 pm:<fcat> inet trades 7am-8pm
5:30 pm:<Daniel> central or eastern?
5:31 pm:<Cliff> eastern
5:31 pm:<fcat> nas trades 8am-6:30
5:31 pm:<fcat> y cliff
5:31 pm:<fcat> sorry
5:31 pm:<Daniel> set it to that session time with aapl
5:31 pm:<fcat> done
5:31 pm:<Daniel> now close reopen chart and or time and sales
5:31 pm:<Daniel> all should be perfect with time/data and price
5:32 pm:<fcat> no...because last price isn't coming through
5:32 pm:<Daniel> even on the chart?
5:33 pm:<fcat> no
5:33 pm:<Cliff> as long as we're talking about sessions, how difficult is it to set up 2 sets of charts for
one's symbol universe with 1 set showing regular hours (0930-1600 EST) and the other set showing pre-market,
regular hours, and post-market (i.e., 0700-2000 EST)?
5:33 pm:<fcat> flat
5:33 pm:<fcat> 61.81
5:33 pm:<DTN-Jay> Bill, Chad and all - Have a great evening...
5:33 pm:<fcat> over and over today's close
5:33 pm:<LS_Bill> nite jay
5:33 pm:<Cliff> Thank you Jay
5:33 pm:<fcat> time and sales same
5:33 pm:*** DTN-Jay has left
5:33 pm:<fcat> thanks Jay
5:34 pm:<LS_Bill> daniel and fcat, discuss this next week, after the bug is fixed
5:34 pm:<Daniel> k
5:34 pm:<fcat> time and vol ok
5:34 pm:<fcat> just last screwed
5:34 pm:<LS_Bill> it's a bug, fixed now for beta 11 tomorrow.
5:34 pm:<Daniel> it just that I have never seen the correct time and sales stamp or chart data flowing without
the inst set to that full session.
5:34 pm:*** David has left
5:35 pm:<fcat> thanks bill
5:35 pm:<fcat> outstanding
5:35 pm:<LS_Bill> today I was adding a new data column to IRT, a new one DTN IQ is sending called "Financial
Status"
5:35 pm:<tuna> bill you want to slip floating windows int beta 11 as user optional?
5:35 pm:<LS_Bill> it was in the course of testing this that I discovered the bug that was masking about 10 dtn
iq fields from IRT
5:36 pm:<Daniel> a chart override only brings it the trades but ofeten the chart or time and sales will stop
and report "trades" in time and sales but never show the correct time...it would stay at 16:59 pm for all
trades going forward
5:36 pm:<LS_Bill> among these were tick count, up volume, dn volume, delay, last trade price (after market)
and a few others
5:36 pm:<LS_Bill> these fields were in a special category, handled in a special way, different than normal
fields, and they were all being missed
5:36 pm:<Daniel> k
5:37 pm:<fcat> great
5:37 pm:<fcat> happy here
5:37 pm:<fcat> temporarily
5:37 pm:<LS_Bill> this was a bug introduced about 3 months ago or so maybe longer
5:37 pm:<LS_Bill> all of these were working fine at one time
5:37 pm:<fcat> :)
5:37 pm:<Daniel> BTW Bill "no data on connection last 36 minutes" with 9999
5:37 pm:<Daniel> :-(
5:37 pm:<LS_Bill> daniel, I don't thnk this is a mac "performance" issue
5:38 pm:<Daniel> right
5:38 pm:<LS_Bill> I think somehow the connection is being dropped or something and IRT is not handling it
right maybe
5:38 pm:<LS_Bill> do you see this on the windows IB?
5:38 pm:<Daniel> which TWS are you using?
5:38 pm:<Daniel> nope never on XP unless after hours and very rarely
5:39 pm:<LS_Bill> on windows, I update TWS weekly
5:39 pm:<fcat> I won't bug you with my mysterious erasing 1 minute chart data tonight since you got my post
market data issus handled :)
5:39 pm:<Daniel> build 854.4 Nov 29,2005 9:22:13 Am TWS/OS X
5:40 pm:<Daniel> that's the most current version withthe launcher
5:40 pm:<LS_Chad> I've got Reversal Bars (Point and Figure) working in Volume Profile charts now
5:40 pm:<Daniel> are you using the script launch on OS X or the launcher?
5:41 pm:<fcat> brb
5:41 pm:<Daniel> reversal bars as in tell me when to reverse the trade? ;-)
5:41 pm:<LS_Bill> one sec
5:41 pm:<Daniel> k
5:41 pm:<Daniel> what is rev bar Chad?
5:43 pm:<Daniel> hmmm....I am using TWS on both machines XP and OS X so that is not the issue either
5:43 pm:<Daniel> no matter the TWS version which I also update weekly on XP
5:44 pm:<LS_Chad> like point & figure
5:44 pm:<LS_Chad> http://www.linnsoft.com/tpo/charts/vp_reversal.jpg
5:45 pm:<LS_Chad> that's a 6 tick reversal bar
5:45 pm:<Daniel> so it's something else...I wiped the HD and did fresh install or Tiger/IRT/TWS...same thing
happens.
5:46 pm:<Cliff> can anyone address my 2 sets of charts ? above
5:46 pm:<Cliff> 5:33 p.m.
5:48 pm:<LS_Chad> Cliff..easy to do
5:48 pm:<LS_Chad> setup the symbol on a 24 hour sessoin
5:48 pm:<LS_Chad> set session override of one chart to RTH, other to overnight or whatever (can setup custom
session of whatever times you like)
5:48 pm:<LS_Chad> just looking at candle/bar chart? or TPO? VP?
5:49 pm:<LS_Chad> all have a "session override" option
5:49 pm:<LS_Chad> that control the range of times that are shown/loaded for that chart
5:49 pm:<Cliff> Chad, thank you--can you also see my ? at 5:13 as it relates to this topic
5:50 pm:<LS_Chad> I'll let Bill handle that one
5:50 pm:<LS_Chad> thereby guaranteeing that the data relates to true post-market activity?
5:50 pm:<LS_Chad> [17:13] Cliff: Bill, will IRT be able to recognize the indicator Jay's referring to so that
the user can exclude all data that does not include it thereby guaranteeing that the data relates to true
post-market activity?
5:51 pm:<Cliff> What I'm trying to do is avoid having data that's merely reported late shown as occuring in
the after-market when, in fact, it occured in the regular session
5:51 pm:<Mike> back
5:51 pm:*** Terry has joined us
5:51 pm:<Mike> Hello Terry. Welcome to the Linn Software Chat room.
5:51 pm:<Terry> Hello
5:52 pm:<Terry> Just checking in to see whats happening
5:52 pm:<Cliff> since trading ultimately consists of data analysis and response, I naturally want to be sure
that I'm analyzing and responding to accurate data
5:53 pm:<Cliff> that was for Chad and Bill re: after-hours data issue
5:53 pm:*** js has left
5:53 pm:<tuna> what instruments cliff?
5:54 pm:<Cliff> this also has some relevance to the regular session by way of wanting to exclude trade data
that occured pre-market but is being reported late in the regular session
5:54 pm:<Cliff> Tuna, stocks
5:54 pm:<tuna> even the cme wont post last price till well after the close
5:55 pm:<fcat> gotta run
5:55 pm:<Cliff> right, basically I want to be able to exclude data that is being reported in a session other
than the one in which it occured
5:55 pm:<fcat> thanks for all the help guys
5:56 pm:<Cliff> alternatively, I want to include only data relating to transactions that occured in the
session I'm trading in
5:57 pm:<tuna> dunno cliff,,,settlements can get real screwy at times
5:57 pm:<Cliff> so when I'm trading after-hours, I don't want a lot of late reported trades from the regular
session showing up
5:58 pm:<tuna> hmmm
5:58 pm:<Cliff> and from what Jay is saying this should be easy to ensure so long as IRT will recognize
whatever tags DTN will place on trades that actually occured pre- and post-market
5:59 pm:<Cliff> if the tag
5:59 pm:<Cliff> if the tag's not there, the trade doesn't get reported as pre- or post-market trading
5:59 pm:<Mike> Cahd still here?
5:59 pm:<LS_Chad> y
5:59 pm:<Mike> Chad sorry
5:59 pm:*** Terry has left
6 pm:<Mike> Chad, those playback buttons on VP could they be placed in title bar to save room?
6 pm:<LS_Chad> no
6 pm:<LS_Chad> I'll make tab key toggle that area on/off
6 pm:<Mike> then 2. Chad as I can no t see time of splits, can you have time show in title where cursor is? we
see V and P now I see
6:01 pm:<Mike> Chad hard to make a playback floating window? similiar to slideshow idea I recall
6:04 pm:<mptrading> chad , any idea about the max and min values and ability to float windows and saving VP
values in AScii ?
6:04 pm:<LS_Chad> time showing in title..possibly..not high priority...most don't make columns so narrow
6:04 pm:<LS_Chad> not planning on floating playback controls, no
6:04 pm:<Mike> ok narrow columns = see more
6:06 pm:<LS_Chad> min/max columns...will try to get to that soon
6:06 pm:<Mike> reversal help me make good trades?
6:06 pm:<LS_Chad> floating windows...Bill discussed earlier..he's working on that...hopefully ready for
testing beta within week
6:06 pm:<mptrading> reall cool
6:06 pm:<Mike> dogfoot: msft delays vista........tanks market
6:06 pm:<mptrading> ok, I was out, sorry
6:06 pm:<LS_Chad> saving VP values into ascii....should be doable...send me suggestions on how it should be
output
6:06 pm:<Mike> mpt you tell Bill/ Chad your spread stuff can nto be done in any other programs!
6:06 pm:<Mike> fti
6:07 pm:<mptrading> not that it cannot be done
6:07 pm:<mptrading> never seen it been done !
6:08 pm:<LS_Chad> what spread stuff..range bars? or min/max rows?
6:08 pm:<mptrading> it is great software for pair Trading, just figured that out
6:08 pm:<mptrading> Mike was probably refering to MP a spread ratio
6:08 pm:<LS_Chad> ok
6:09 pm:<LS_Chad> yea...if you're putting to use tpo chart, candle charts, vp charts, and custom
instruments....you can get alot of functionality for $39
6:10 pm:<mptrading> custom is just on the Pro, right ?
6:10 pm:<LS_Chad> no
6:10 pm:<LS_Chad> you have pro, mp?
6:11 pm:<mptrading> y
6:11 pm:<mptrading> just upgraded yesterday
6:11 pm:<LS_Chad> pro is basically for giving access to RTL (custom indicators, signals, scans, etc)
6:11 pm:<Mike> pairs in regular IRT I think :)
6:11 pm:<LS_Chad> setting variables
6:12 pm:<mptrading> k, btu I can play with it later
6:12 pm:<Mike> i make a better woodie chart for all later also
6:12 pm:<Mike> Chad someday be great to have a RIT area for users to sahred defs charts etc...

6:14 pm:<Daniel> :-/
6:14 pm:<LS_Chad> possible in future...but certainly not in beta 11
6:14 pm:<Daniel> ok
6:14 pm:<Daniel> link
6:14 pm:<Mike> someday dan need playbactk to go into linked charts
6:14 pm:<LS_Chad> I mean..you can set both up to step forward 1 minute at a time..manually
6:14 pm:<Mike> etc...
6:14 pm:<LS_Chad> and walk each forward
6:14 pm:<LS_Chad> or 5-min at a time, etc
6:14 pm:<LS_Chad> so you can manually keep in synch I guess
6:15 pm:<Daniel> I put it on .3 seconds and make fast decisions...stepping is slow
6:15 pm:<LS_Chad> yea..will do some thinking on that
6:16 pm:<Daniel> I use playback to force myself to make quick confident objective decisions...there is no time
to get subjective.
6:16 pm:<Daniel> k
6:16 pm:<Daniel> thnks
6:16 pm:<Mike> chad eventually playback into linked charts please
6:16 pm:<Daniel> yeah mentioned link
6:16 pm:<Mike> so can all chart types port etc...
6:16 pm:<Mike> time and sales etc....
6:16 pm:<LS_Chad> maybe a ctrl-click or something like that.....on the "+" button..could cause an advancement
in all open charts of that symbol
6:17 pm:<Mike> then need floatign playback control or a window somehwo :)
6:17 pm:<Daniel> yes
