Herman,
This would lead to much bigger problems than you think. Now
daily (compressed) data in intraday database match intraday data.
This allows to use multiple time frames and price levels in
different time frames match each other.
With your suggestion implemented you will have daily data
that do not match intraday data. In other words
your single formula would operate on different data
and generate different signals.
Right now if you calculate highest from intraday it is also
highest from daily (compressed) data.
With your approach this would not work.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Thank you Tomasz and others for all your comments however I really
think i understand ALL the issues and i am NOT arguing with any of them. The
problem has been confirmed: I am not seeking an explanantion; i am seeking a
practical solution.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

The
differences appear in all price fields (OHLC) and seem to exceed that which
may be caused by Form-T trades so there is no garantee that adding a Form-T
filter would solve the problem. If it is an easy test we could try but
perhaps the effort would be better spend on development of a function that
allows us to access both the eSignal EOD and eSignal RT DB from the same code.
I know this will introduce other problems however i think we can code around
those.

Herman,
TimeFrameGetPrice as any other timeframe funciton COMPRESSES
data.
In your case it creates DAILY bars from intraday data. Those intraday
data contain
ALL trades, while EOD records published by NASDAQ do NOT include all
trades.
Hence the difference.
As Jayson pointed out this is by nasdaq regulation and you may only
wish NOT to receive Form-T
in intraday data - this is doable but would require changing the plugin
to REMOVE Form-T records
from intraday data.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Hello Jayson, I think everybody misses the
point.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
<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>
<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>
<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.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Herman,
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>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

<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Considering the trend of EOD traders moving into RT
this is an important topic; nobody wants to throw out working EOD
trading systems that took years to develop; the idea is to improve
existing EOD systems with RT data, not to start from scratch
developing new systems.
<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.

[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.<SPAN
class=796213912-16032004><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>
<SPAN
class=796213912-16032004>
<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.
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

<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

the Daily mode <SPAN

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

Did you do what I suggested ? I.e. creating
eSignal database with base time interval set to "EOD (daily)"
?

<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!
<SPAN
class=531415316-15032004>
Many
