Generally, I've learned to wait until ".3" version is out for a while... keeping an eye on "known problems list" during that wait: http://www.csidata.com/custserv/updates/index.html#2102 Sometimes it takes more revisions than ".3"... take a look at this list (found from...

Unless I'm beta testing, I wait until the ".3" version is available before upgrading. Can't remember where I originally heard that recommendation... Advantage is you have a stable program, and probably won't have to bother with upgrading for another 1.5 years.

I find that my HDD runs way slower than my dualcore (T7600) and so creates a huge bottleneck. I tried a faster HD when I built my Pentium D 820 last year. Western Digital Raptor 10,000 RPM SATA 1.5 Gb/s hard drive (74 GB capacity). I guess the faster spin (10,000 RPM) and data flow (SATA 1.5 Gb/s) ...

Hey, heres another idea maybe I should post on a different link. Why not have those who think they are profitable post their trades here and everyone can be judged on their merits and all this could be kept track of by the admin. You dont have to reveal the parameters you used or any coding. They d...

Natural logarithm

If Range > 0 then Amplitude = .25*(10*Log(Value2/(Range*Range))/Log(10) + 1.9) + .75*Amplitude[1]; One possible problem that could occur when translating to VBA for Excel is that Easy language Log function is always the Natural logarithm. Until I became aware of it, that caused me some problems whe...

Ehlers' description of how to use SNR

John, Thanks for checking. I was being too lazy to pop it into TS. In chapter 8, "Signal-To-Noise Ratio", in Rocket Science for Traders Ehlers describes how he uses SNR: "We want the signal amplitude to be at least twice the noise amplitude (6 dB SNR) so that there exists a reasonable...

EasyLanguage. SNR.

Hi JW, Where this code say Range[1] for example, this means use the value of ‘range’ one day (or time period) earlier than the current value, yes? Yes, you're correct. "[1]" means value calculated for Range on the preceding bar. But it's relative: meaning, as you go bar-by-bar through ...

how has it worked out

... how has it worked out for you? Hi JW, It was good for learning EasyLanguage, and I occassionally use some of the concepts, but don't directly apply his systems and indicators. His simpler examples, especially about moving averages, encouraged me to think more broadly about how to make indicator...

Re: MESA & related

...when I plot the output the phase chart appears to be back-to-front (ie cycle slope is down and to the right, rather than up and to the right as per Ehlers example screen shots)... Hi JW, See one of Ehlers websites. There were typos in the book. Corrections are on the website. BTW, Ehlers's examp...
