<snip> until the present build of TS8, which can now read ASCII data files... Hurray!
Bob,
Can you please tell us a bit more about this ascii data capability of
TS8? I couldn't find much details on it.
1) Can it handle daily, minute, as well as tick data?
2) Can it keep updating the chart in realtime if data points are added
to the ascii files?
3) Can I test/execute strategies on ascii charts? How can I specify all
those bigpointvalue, minmove etc? It's okay if TS8 doesn't support
trading of those symbols; I can take care of that as long as trading
signals are generated @ realtime.
4) Any length limitation you know of? (how much tick ascii data it can
load - beyond obvious RAM limitations). How large ascii files can be,
barring OS limitations?
Thanks,
Abhijit
PS : Anyone trade spreads with TS8? InteractiveBrokers gives me $1458
maintenance margin per pair of ER2 / EMD. Is that or something similar
available with TS8. I need the spread commission - don't want to pay 2
outrights. Thanks.
