4:33 pm:*** LS_Bill has left
4:35 pm:<LS_Chad> why's that eddy?
4:35 pm:<eddy> i finally found teh cause of the IRT NT bug i was experiencing for a while
4:36 pm:<eddy> causing crash to IRT with the dll request
4:36 pm:<eddy> lloks like this is coming from the fact i am using the multibroker edition of Ninja
4:36 pm:<LS_Chad> great
4:36 pm:<eddy> and NT must mix up some instrument name
4:37 pm:<eddy> with the mono broker version (simulation edition) got no crash...
4:37 pm:<eddy> thats a huge relief...
4:38 pm:*** LS_Bill has joined us

4:46 pm:<Mike> Chad can you put what's new in 853 on web site please so i can read it and others thanks
4:47 pm:<eddy> Just a quick question for Chad about the VB indicator
4:47 pm:*** LS_Bill has joined us
4:48 pm:<eddy> what's if the ask bid spread is 2 ticks and a trade is done just inside.. you considered it on which side / Bid or Ask volume ?
4:50 pm:<Mike> did you see my question Bill?
4:50 pm:<eddy> best would be to consider it as the same side than the previous trade..
4:50 pm:<Mike> yeah garee
4:51 pm:<Mike> Chad and Bill seem occupied again
4:52 pm:<LS_Chad> one sec eddy, I'll check
4:52 pm:<LS_Bill> I don't know the answer or I would have responded
4:52 pm:<Mike> I repost: bill is charthub ability on osx irt?
4:53 pm:<LS_Chad> if it's at or above ask, it's considered ask volume...if at or below bid, bid volume...otherwise, not included
4:53 pm:<LS_Chad> in between is not included
4:54 pm:<LS_Bill> that's consistent with how the time and sales are color coded
4:54 pm:<eddy> ok, so VB ask + VB bid might be different from total volume..
4:55 pm:<eddy> i know for some mkt, it had an interest to put inbetween trade at the same side than the prev trade
4:56 pm:<LS_Chad> yea, it would be different if there is in between
4:57 pm:<eddy> this is would be intresting for mkt trading with 3/4 ticks BA spread
4:58 pm:<eddy> Chad : have you observed big deltas of VB indicator result between esignal feed and dtn feed for example for futures ?
4:58 pm:<Mike> like a value of trillions?
5:01 pm:<LS_Chad> yea....that should hopefully be fixed in latest 8.5.3
5:01 pm:<LS_Chad> have you been running the last 8.5.2 build?
5:01 pm:<LS_Chad> but yes, that was a known problem that I'm hoping I addressed
5:02 pm:<LS_Chad> but not 100% sure yet
5:02 pm:*** LS_Bill2 has joined us
5:02 pm:*** LS_Bill has left
5:02 pm:*** LS_Bill2 is now known as LS_Bill
5:03 pm:<LS_Chad> If you see it again, in 8.5.3, please let me konw
5:05 pm:<eddy> i don't have dtn feed btw, was just wondering if they were matching esig in terms of ticks...
5:05 pm:<Mike> ok Chad but can't use vb for me
5:06 pm:<Mike> Bill here: bill is charthub ability on osx irt?
5:06 pm:<LS_Bill> no, this was done for MS Windows only to begin with

5:50 pm:<Mpt> I joined because some friends told me they wanted to form a bond group
5:50 pm:<eddy> you trade ZB, ZN ?
5:50 pm:<Mpt> always, but has been kind of tricky latelly
5:51 pm:<Mpt> mostly FX for last 2-3 months
5:51 pm:<eddy> using CME 6E and co or on FX platform ?
5:51 pm:<Mpt> TT XTRADER
5:51 pm:<Mpt> CME, no SPOT
5:52 pm:<eddy> ok good choice
5:52 pm:<Mpt> spot only 10 bucks a handle to be worthwhile for the spread
5:52 pm:<Mpt> only had that kind of money at corporate level (previous jobs)
5:53 pm:<eddy> lol :-)
5:53 pm:<eddy> u are using IRT since long ?
5:53 pm:<Mpt> I used windotrader and MD till Jan-Feb
5:54 pm:<eddy> ok
5:54 pm:<Mpt> then I was fortunate enought to find chad
5:54 pm:<eddy> lol / found him 5 yr ago :-) after testing evry platform that could have existed at that time
5:54 pm:<Mpt> and was able to add most of the stuff I needed at IRT , like range VP bars and max and min deltas
5:55 pm:<Mpt> windotrader is top of the line
5:55 pm:<Mpt> great people, but expensive
5:55 pm:<Mike> RIT do most of wt yet?
5:55 pm:<Mike> IRT
5:55 pm:<Mpt> cannot tell you mike
5:56 pm:<Mpt> since I left it in Jan
5:56 pm:<eddy> i VP bars nice...
5:56 pm:<Mpt> they always add new stuff as well
5:57 pm:<Mpt> max and Min deltas and VP range bars I had tried to have in MDelta, but they never moved an inch on my ideas
5:57 pm:<eddy> I tried the very first MD.. then left after few months
5:58 pm:<eddy> they didn't had tick bar at that time
5:58 pm:<eddy> then it became a mess CPU wise
5:58 pm:<Mike> all IRT now :)
5:59 pm:<Mike> Trevor makeing many videos
5:59 pm:<Mike> for PC viewing only to bad
5:59 pm:<Mike> His MD nwo work on macs!
5:59 pm:<Mike> wonder hwo many users he has?
5:59 pm:<Mpt> both old MD and IRT still lacks the ability to plot horizontal lines / developing VAs on VP charts itself
6 pm:<Mpt> but for sure IRT will get there on day or another
6 pm:<Mike> sure Chad could add that ability
6:01 pm:<eddy> i always daytarde on a very short timeframe so never really used VAs.. do you use VAs based on 30 min /1hour bars , or only on dailiyes ?
6:01 pm:<Mike> JP is 30 min st uff
6:01 pm:<eddy> you too on that timeframe MPT ?
6:02 pm:<Mpt> developind VAs are timeframe independant
6:02 pm:<Mpt> I only look at range bars
6:02 pm:<Mpt> and 30 letter profile
6:02 pm:<Mpt> to see what others are seeing
6:03 pm:<Mpt> MP are just a piece of the solution, an important one (depends on each specific Mkt)
6:03 pm:<Mpt> volume
6:04 pm:<Mpt> fibs
6:04 pm:<Mpt> news
6:04 pm:<Mike> honestly i never foudn it useful for trading to me
6:04 pm:<Mpt> your cash balance account
6:04 pm:<Mike> your head
6:04 pm:<Mpt> your money management experience
6:04 pm:<eddy> you could reset your VA every x minutes and cut your session in 3 for example / don't catch you say it is independant
6:04 pm:<eddy> x = 130
6:05 pm:<Mpt> and your morning plan.....
6:05 pm:<Mpt> developing value ares are independent
6:05 pm:<Mpt> as times passes it develops equaly
6:06 pm:<eddy> volume - price - and news to stop trading when the other gets crzy and that you know in adv that vol going to increase...
6:06 pm:<Mpt> no matter what timeframe you use
6:06 pm:<eddy> oh, thats not wjhta i undertood initially
6:06 pm:<eddy> ok said like that i agree
6:07 pm:<eddy> ok, need to go / late here / have a good vening..
6:08 pm:<Mpt> for equities you need to look at volume of mkt for bias direction for sure
6:08 pm:<Mpt> http://charts.dacharts.com/2006-09-12/!!MPt_2006_09_12_1.png
6:08 pm:<Mpt> http://charts.dacharts.com/2006-09-12/!!MPt_2006_09_12_2.png
6:09 pm:<Mpt> http://charts.dacharts.com/2006-09-12/!!MPt_2006_09_12_3.png
6:09 pm:<Mpt> those that fail to take bias from Add/decl pay huge price for their bias erros from time to time
6:10 pm:<eddy> hep - a marketshaman guy :-)
6:10 pm:<Mpt> nope
6:10 pm:<Mpt> not billy style at all

6:11 pm:<eddy> you knwo you could reproduce it withe IRT excel dll :-)
6:11 pm:<Mpt> so all BS on his bottom line
6:12 pm:<Mpt> oh , i have my own spreadsheed with chats done by www.Mrexcel.com for me 5 years ago
6:12 pm:<eddy> do you you know the other guy who used to make MP semianr with him ?
