> TIP-OF-THE-MONTH

> erratic price fluctuations occurring at the beginning or end of a trading
> session?
>
> To avoid erratic price activity occurring at the beginning or end of a
> trading session, you can instruct your system to only generate orders
> before or after a specified time. For example, if the session time for an
> asset is between 9:30am and 4:00pm, you can instruct your trading system
> to only generate orders between 10:00am and 3:30pm. You can accomplish
> this by including the following EasyLanguage syntax in your trading
system
> using the QuickEditor:
>
> 1. Click the 'Formula' tab.
> 2. In the 'If' box, enter the following entry/exit condition:
> Time > 1000 and Time < 1530 and {your condition here}

> OMEGA RESEARCH USER GROUPS
> What is an Omega Research User group?
>
> Omega Research assists in the creation of user groups which are groups of
> traders using investment software who meet at regularly scheduled
meetings
> to exchange ideas, share their experiences, and learn about the software.
> This is a great way for users to gain insight on how others use their
> products in order to acquire the knowledge necessary to make informed
> decisions on their investments.
>
> How Can I Benefit From Joining?
>
> Omega Research User Groups are an integral part of the development of
> individual traders. Through the exchange of knowledge and the interaction
> of users; knowledge can be gained that otherwise would only be acquired
by
> long hours of trial and error. In an industry propelled by ideas,
> knowledge, and information, it is essential that contact is maintained
> with your peers. Omega Research provides this service for the purpose of
> uniting people with similar interests so that they have a support system
> run by users for users.
>
> Now, more that ever, the individual investor has the power to make
> decisions based on a wealth of pertinent information. Disseminating this
> information into useful strategies and ideas and sharing it with others
is
> what the Omega Research User Group Program is all about.
>
> There are close to 100 User Groups around the world. To find the User
> Group nearest you, or to start one in your area, email Pedro San Juan at
> user.group@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or call him at 1(800) 292-3476.
> OMEGA RESEARCH CUSTOMER SUPPORT
> This month we are going to give you some tips on how to maintain your
> computer so that all your programs, including Omega Research
applications,
> will operate at maximum efficiency. All of these utilities and
> suggestions are specific to the operating system and computer you use, so
> some may vary slightly from the descriptions below. It is very important
> that you contact your computer technician or computer manufacturer if you
> have any questions about the following procedures:
>
> SCANDISK. This is probably one of the most important utilities. It
> analyzes your hard drives for errors, both file errors and physical
> errors, and in most cases allows you to fix these problems quickly and
> easily. We recommend you run this program (selecting "Standard" scan)
> weekly or after any problem, such as a power failure or crash. The
> "Thorough" scan will check the entire disk for physical errors. This
> procedure should be done about once every month, as it takes
significantly
> longer. Scandisk should be run after market hours when no other programs
> are running. To start this utility, click on START - RUN, type SCANDSKW
> and then click OK.
>
> DEFRAG. After many days of using your computer, files begin to fragment
> on your hard drive. This is due to the way the disk operating system
will
> break files into pieces to store them in the next available location on
> the hard drive. The user is unaware of this process, however when the
> files become fragmented, it takes longer to read them since one file may
> be split among several locations. This will result in a gradual slowing
> of your computer. Running the Disk Defragmenter will help keep your
files
> organized. To run this utility, click on START - RUN, type DEFRAG and
> then click OK. Defrag should be run after market hours when no other
> programs are running. We recommend you run this utility once every week
> to two weeks, depending on how quickly your drive becomes fragmented.
>
> SHUT DOWN NON-ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS. Our software must share resources and
> memory with Windows and anything else running in the background. The
> fewer applications and utilities you have running, the more efficiently
> our program will perform. Utilities such as screen savers, virus
scanners
> and automatic scheduling programs (such as System Agent, Norton
Scheduler,
> or Task Scheduler) should be disabled. We highly recommend that you run
> any scheduled programs manually, since they might interfere with data
> collection. Also disable any power management features, both in Windows
> and in your computer's BIOS. In Windows, click on START - SETTINGS -
> CONTROL PANEL. Then double-click on the POWER or POWER MANAGEMENT icon.
> Please see your computer manual or contact the manufacturer for
> instructions on how to disable the BIOS power management setting.
