Hello
Jayson, I think everybody misses the point.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
As my
subject line indicates I found a significant difference between eSignal/QP2
EOD and eSignal RT data. Initially this was denied, now it is explained.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
The
point I made and that is missed by most readers remains exactly the same:
the data differs significantly and you cannot convert short term EOD systems to
RT and expect the same results. BTW, I trade NASDAQ exclusively and wouldn't
think of changing, also pre/after hours data is NOT included in the
comparison.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>AmiBroker does not let you access separate EOD and RT databases from one
program (as far as I know) so it is impossible to convert complicated code that
took years to develop and is based on EOD-quality data to an RT environment.
This means that EOD short-term traders will not be able
to optimize Stops, Targets and Limit orders with adding RT data; using
that type of orders will give you unrealistic results in EOD backtesting. The
only solution i can think of is to maintain two databases and develop some
form of communication between the RT and EOD instances of AB (Composites don't
work because they reside in different DBs).
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
After
going around in circles a few times my original question has been answered:
eSignal RT OHLC data retrieved using <FONT color=#0000ff
size=2>TimeFrameGetPrice() is NOT the same as eSignal or QP2 EOD
OHLC data. The reason for this is irrelevant, the fact stands and
causes problems in system design and conversion from EOD to RT. Now that this
has been confirmed I have to find a way to work around/with
it.

Thank
you for your comments Jason,
best
regards,

I
think Tomasz hit the nail on the head. Are you finding the errors to be in
Nasdaq stocks only? You will not match exactly RT and EOD because of
nasdaq rules. But the real question is, are they errors? I would say no, they
are accurate reflections of the nasdaq rules. RT data by design is a zoomed in
snapshot of what actually occurred during the trading day and does in fact
include trades that the EOD numbers do not see. Did those trades not happen?
Of course they did and of course they will be reflected in the decisions of RT
traders during the after hours session and again tomorrow in the pre market.
Personally I hate the pre and after markets as they just muddy of the waters
but nasdaq has them and if you plan to trade RT data you have to learn to live
with it. An alternative would be to avoid the Nasdaq stocks for your system
testing
Regards,
Jayson

trend of EOD traders moving into RT this is an important topic; nobody wants

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

The
TimeFrameGetPrice() doesn't seem to help here (see code posted
earlier). We may need a way to switch
from eSignal RT or eSignal EOD on the fly. The only
alternative I see is to run two AB instances and use custom
files to share data between them. This means forever synchronizing two code
versions for each system, maintain two databases, and develop additional
data-sharing code. All this work is a very discouraging thought. If you have a
better idea I'd like to hear from you.

If somebody proves me wrong
(wouldn't be the first time) I will humbly and publicly post a retraction and
apology.

[amibroker] Does your eSignal data match your QP2
data???Importance: High
Herman,
As I wrote you in a separate e-mail: if you are in EST
time zone you should turn on pre/after hours filtering and set
START time to 9:30 and END time to 15:59. If you set it
otherwise open or close price may be slightly different
than QP2 data because of after hours trading being
accounted. So please check start-end times you have in
File->Database Settings->Intraday
Settings. <FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>
<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>
<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>Tomasz, I followed all suggestions you made to the
letter. All my settings are correct and I also created the new eSignal
EOD database. If anybody doubts my findings then just run the two
code samples to convince yourself - don't go by my word alone. I fact I
challenge anybody to prove me wrong using the code shown previously.
Anyway you will never be able to reach 100% match
because
intraday data contain all trading (including Form-Ts). My
observation is that Form-Ts start flowing even before 16:00
hence streaming intraday data will contain them while EOD
data not as per nasdaq regulations.<FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff>
<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>I do not expect a 100% match however I do not
expect a 38% error rate accross all price fields (OHLC) either
this is too high to successfully translate any EOD short term trading system
to RT.
<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>
<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>The TimeFrameGetPrice() does not help here. <FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff>What we need is a way to switch from eSignal
RT or eSignal EOD on the fly. The only alternative I
see is to run two AB instances and use custom files to share data
between them. This means forever synchronizing two code versions, maintain
two databases, and develop additional data-sharing
code.
See the following excerpt from: <A
href="">http://www.csidata.com/techjournal/csinews/200010/page01.htm
"A complicating feature of this arrangement was the
inconsistent way trades were reported for the various exchanges. All trades
for Nasdaq-listed issues that occurred in the late trading session (after
4:00 p.m.) were sent from Nasdaq as Form-T trades. By Nasdaq rule, these
trades were not (and still are not) allowed to change the official daily
high-low-last price data, but they do increment the volume. Ostensibly, this
is because Nasdaq uses 4:00 p.m. prices to calculate indices. They
(apparently) have no way to preserve the 4:00 p.m. price quote for each
index component. In contrast, trades on Nasdaq of NYSE-listed issues were
sent as regular trades, which altered the official composite high-low-last
quote.<FONT

Subject: RE: [amibroker] Does your

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Yes Tomasz I did created a new EOD eSignal data base and i found
that (over the same 20-day random sample) QP2 and eSignal data were
exactly the same using EOD, the problem i have is with the RT data
conversion to EOD prices using only the eSignal RT database.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Also, as you suggested, setting AA Settings to the Daily
mode <FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>gave EOD prices that matched the OHLC extracted from
RT data, but they do not match either QP2 or eSignal EOD data - this
suggests that either my code is wrong or RT data is different.
When setting the AA to Minutes and using <FONT color=#0000ff
size=2>TimeFrameGetPrice(<FONT color=#ff00ff
size=2>"O", inDaily, expandFirst
); to extract EOD prices from eSignal RT data
this gives me different prices from both QP2 and
eSignal EOD data.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

Any suggestions on
how I can extract EOD data
from eSignal RT will be appreciated.

Did you do what I suggested ? I.e. creating eSignal

<SPAN
class=531415316-15032004>Hello,
<SPAN
class=531415316-15032004>
I run both
eSignal and QP2 data and am porting some mature QP2 EOD code
to eSignal to see if it can be enhanced with RT data. Before changing
any code I wanted to confirm identical EOD performance in
both data environments, I found huge discrepancies. Comparing daily
OHLC prices derived from eSignal RT data with OHLC data from QuotePlus
I found that taking a Random 20-day sample showed 38% disagreement
between the two data sources. Now the question arises as to which is
the correct one?
<SPAN
class=531415316-15032004>
If you
have both data sources please let me know if you have noticed this
discrepancy. I used the following code snippets to illustrate this
problem. I used two separate AB instances; one configured for eSignal
and one for QuotePlus. Perhaps I am doing something wrong....I
hope so!
