I am a new user of MetaStock 7.2 EOD & I have just realised that I am doing
sufficient trades for my brokerage (Dreyfus) to subsidise almost free
eSignal real-time data. I am presently using Reuters Datalink. Does anyone
know if I can use the real-time feed instead for my daily data & if so how ?

Would it help if you went to the Downloader, called up the symbol and click
1/32's? Then your charts would give the price in 1/32.

I am having a hard time deciphering the value of quotes in the 32nds.
Example: Ten Year Notes.
If I purchased one contract at 104.4375 and the current price is 104.5469,
what would be a simple way to tell what the profit/loss would be?
Thanks

Randdy,
Have you considered using the arithmetic process known as subtraction?
Failing which an abacus might help. This has little balls which visually =

Subject: RE: Steve Karnish Challenge
(( Here are excerpts of the replies I received from the names Steve Karnish
supplied me.
In conclusion, this is the first time I have ever been able to verify
someone's claims with testimony from actual users. Steve challenged me to
check out his system and users and I must conclude Steve won the challenge.
Congratulations, Steve ! And thanks for turning a cynic into a
believer....Rick ))
- ------------------------------------
Bruce:
..In Nov of 2000 I became aware of cedarcreektrading
(CCT) and started watching the signals. I started
trading in Dec 2000 following the signals after
selling my mutual funds and stocks and opening an
on-line account. I only use CCT for signals. Since
then I have started my son and daughter and wife
trading using the signals and having their own
accounts. We have 7 on-line accounts now all trading
using CCT signals.
.. Check out some or all of the 50 stocks and
ask yourself if that's better then 10-12%? Sure, past
performance is not necessarily what it will do in the
future but you have 15 months of exactly what it did
in the past. The future is a guessing game and there
is no crystal ball. However, CCT is as close as I've
seen!
..CCT has been the greatest fun, learning
experience, and guidance I could ever have. And, I'm
making money far and away above the long term market
average using the signals. As soon as I get smart and
settle down I expect to turn 100% per year just using
the signals.
- ----------------------------------
Tony:
I have been trading
Steve's method for seven months..
..So while everyone has been crying with there losses, I have turned 5000
into 28,000 in
half a year. I could only afford to buy 100 shares at a time when I started.
- ----------------------------------
Joe:
1) How long have you followed the signals of a mechanical trading system?
Since 1958. It has changed over the years as I've obtained information
that is worth adding to the system and dropping some things that no
longer
work.
2) Where do you obtain these trading signals? (i.e., published on a
website
or generated thru Metastock or Tradestation)
They are from my own research and testing, resulting in developing my
own technical indicators and system.
3) Does the system over this period of time beat the long term market
averages (10-12%/year)?
Yes.
Since you've asked me to participate in this poll, let me add a comment
regarding mechanical systems: There are mechanical systems that work. There
are traders that can take any profitable system and lose money with it by
not
understanding it and letting their emotions get in their way. I have a
masters degree in applied mathematics, over 46 years of investing
experience,
and ran a computer department for a major airline before I retired. I use to
program trading/investment systems for individuals for free in exchange for
seeing what they thought worked. I have studied over 230 systems, many
selling for thousands of dollars over the years. I have not seen a system
that will continue to work profitably forever without modification caused by
changing market conditions i.e., commodity volume caused by derivatives. As
I
have said, I think Larry Williams is the best trading system developer I
have
run across. I also think, based on the calls he has made over the years,
that
Steve Karnish is a good trader and has technical indicators that have
consistently been profitable.
A mechanical trading system is not for everyone. It may not be for you, but
whatever you eventually do, good luck.
- -------------------------------------
Glen:
1. I have followed the system since July 2000 (a total of eleven months
now),
trading commodities only. I have been in the market, long or short,
constantly
throughout that period.
2. I obtain the signals from the Cedar Creek Trading website.
3. Yes. I have greatly exceeded 10% growth/return.
4. On 4 or 5 occasions I have elected not to follow a signal. Once or
twice I
benefited by that decision. In the other instances, I ended up wishing I
had
followed the signals.
5. Five losses in a row.
6. 20% is the largest drawback, occurring after the above-referenced five
consecutive losses.

I know we can compare system tests to find out which one would perform best

Is there a way to reverse this: For a given system, find the stocks that
give the best return.

You can change the display units from decimal to 1/32's.

Do any of you trade the cotton market? I have a few times but the market
fills are very slow. Sometimes close to an hour. I'm not sure if it is my
broker or if it is the cotton market itself. I don't have a problem with
other markets that trade similar volume.

If you trade the active months (high O/I) and buy and sell at the market,
you
should get better a lot better fills than that. There are around 10,000
contracts traded daily. Hope you've been short lately.

Dear Listmembers
some time ago I visited the site of Phyllis Kahn (www.gannangles.com), she
apparently has a mechanical trading method bassed solely on static time
projections. Is anyone familiar with the aforementioned method or her
newsletter?
I tried to visit the site again but this time it required a password...
What I would like to do, is produce this method employing excel but I can't
find any info on the method.
Is anyone familiar with it?
Kindest regards

Joe,
I always trade the heaviest month for Volume and Open Interest. My market
orders get filled close to where the market is at at the time of the order.
Its the notification back to me that takes so long. The delay has only been
with cotton. I am placing my orders online and if I call the order desk for
a fill they won't have it right away there either.

If the Expert Commentary is in graphic format, to the best of my knowledge,
it can not be translated directly to a ".txt" file.
I have done this only once or twice. Copy text graphics to a paint file
"bmp" file, print it out and then scan and convert to a "txt" file. I have
found this to be time consuming.
