Hello Trentham, Thanks for the nice words, and I'm sorry I didn't remember to update the blox when I made the change to my local version of the _Weekly_AvgTrueRange indicator. CHANGE NEEDED: Line # 57 needs to have 2 instead of a 1 to prevent the out-of-bounds array error that is happening with the ...

I didn't notice the forum you posted when I provided the link. The above link won't work unless you are a TB customer. With that in mind, maybe getting a peek at the image that is shown in the posting might be helpful to give you confidence the effort isn't hard: http://www.tradingblox.com/forum/fil...

When using Weekly data Trading Blox's built-in indicators will provide the ATR and ADX without much more than addition of the length variable and an indicator name. Weekly data is an approach used often when the entry and exit decisions are only made on the first and or last bar of each week. If you...

Another approach is to create a table of symbols along with their position size limit values that TB can load during the Before Test script execution cycle. A good module to handle this is the module doing the unit sizing of the positions being offered for market action. With a table approach, the s...

If you have UA running in each computer, and UA is the same version as well, then there must be a difference in how the Roll-Timing is established in each installation. Consider having both computers operating at the same time in the same location so you can see both screens. Then bring up each symb...

Re: Exits not more important than entries?
Interesting example. If there is a spreadsheet, consider adding that to your posting so the details can be understood. Personally I have always thought that a good entry is something worth working towards in the belief that a good entry is also a good exit in the stop and reverse sense. I never unde...

Re: ADX signal question
What I'd like to program is a filter of sorts that checks for the ADX now vs say a week ago. Is it rising??? Was the DMI+ above the DMI- a week ago. These filters should hopefully only allow the original ADX signal to be triggered long in an uptrend. There is nothing mentioned above that would be d...

However as I pointed out the edge ratio is calculated using fixed exit points so if I am replicating that through my exit protocol shouldnt it give a similar result? Maybe not, if the E_Ratio you are using is like the one posted in the Marketplace. Its a maybe not because that calculation uses aver...

Tradesim is also capable of doing this type of multi-system portfolio simulation. It is a simulation package which piggybacks on Metastock (www.compuvision.com.au). TradeSim's operation is more of test result blender and analyzer rather than a Portfolio Suite Tester. It is limited to a blender beca...
