: How are you able to use ts 5 with its mathematical errors that have been
: written about and proven by many veterans on this list excluding
: myself?
Whoa!! Hold on a minute. What makes you think that TS 4.0 is mathematically
acurrate? :-)
TS 4.0 is still inaccurate due to its use of single precision, as is TS2ki.
For example, you have to change the scaling on the Dow and NDX indicies, as
well as their respective futures contract, just to make sure your data is
not messed up now that the some of the data being sent out is over 6 digits.
With the big drop in the NDX and @cco in April, if you don't change your
scaling, the data will then be skewed due to TS's use of single precision.
Gary Fritz went over this in a lot more details than I can remember.
All I know is that both cannot be use for systematic trading, regardless of
what the Omega advertisements keep saying. Anykind of intensive mathematical
calculations in TS will result in errors, unless it is sent out to a DLL.
As for me, I'm trying to use UMDS with Matlab as a stopgap until something
better comes out. With Omega going off into the brokerage business, I'm sure
we can count out a TS 6.0.
