Jimmy,
Sorry about the incorrect email direct, I "hit" reply
to all and.....(shrugs shoulders). I have noticed some
odd emails showing up since signing up for the list.
I read everything with an open mind and a willingness
to learn, however, that does not mean my own life
experience and verifications are worthless.
I was on the 2000i user beta program and communicated
directly with programmers and upper management. That
which I say doesn't work is the end result of a lot of
my direct work with people at Omega and programmers
who told me they could not but any more resources into
trying to make it work properly. My guess it was at a
time when from a business standpoint Omega was having
troubles and was in for the radical business model
change which took place.
There are workarounds for the bar adjustment issue,
but it means operating charts in a single tick mode
with your strategy written in EL to count off the
ticks to the tick bars you want.
Being that I evaluate the quality of my work both
quantitatively and qualitatively, I can't use that
approach as I can't see quality of my signals over any
meaningful length of time.
I listen to all, even the newest member with the least
amount of experience may say something invaluable
without knowing it.
I have been in system development since before Omega's
founding and traded long enough to not have an ego
left. Just trying to help some other poor soul from
frying needless hours and burning up cash expecting
one result and getting another.
Been there.....done that.
