@tony, I did try to search for some discussions, and found a few but they seemed pretty old. Things change, and I thought I'd get some more current info.
Sounds like I should consider looking at IB vs CQG vs Rithmic... I'm personally not worried about lower margin requirements.

Re: Broker discussion?
@arnie, thanks much for the info. This is the kind of thing I'm looking for. You make a good point about the feed. Frankly, I've been avoiding tick-based strategies because I know that IB collapses ticks into some number of ms. (Or something like this). It hasn't really been a huge issue for me but ...

Re: Broker discussion?
@TJ, thanks. Yeah, I have been using this configuration for a couple of years now. I know that nothing can be done with the reboot issue, but I am at a point where I am hoping to find a better configuration/combination of tools and providers, so thought I would seek out others that have experience w...

Broker discussion?
I'm currently using MC with IB for futures trading only. I've been considering moving some or all of my account to AMP Futures, which looks to have comparable (and in some cases better) pricing. I'm curious to know if there are people that have done a recent migration from IB to AMP (or I guess the ...

Re: Need help to create a parabolic SAR strategy
Here's a basic version of what you described. If two consecutive bars closes are ABOVE the parabolic SAR on those bars, AND the bar previous to the to has a close BELOW it's parabolic SAR, then we buy at market on the next bar. Opposite for short. I added the test for the 3rd bar to ensure that this...

Re: Running MC 24h - IB server reset - MC needs restart [SOLVED]
on the one hand it's glad to hear but on the other hand it's fantastic that there are other users, who have the same experiences! I've sent logs months ago, but no success. It was just said, that they will fix it with MC 9.1. I cannot provide logs, because as soon as I activate logging MC is unusab...

I also had this problem with MC 9.0. I'm using the latest IB Gateway. I still have the problem with MC 9.1.

Re: Multiple Data Series issue
Thanks for the pointers.
Using the clues in your posts, I switched to Average() from XAverage(), as well as using regular MA as the stock indicators. Everything seems to work as expected with Average().
Now, to figure out how to make it all work with EMA.

Re: Multiple Data Series issue
Thanks.Quick glance at your code and one problem is you are using a series function inside a conditional.
I removed the conditional, same issue.

Re: Multiple Data Series issue
3. the 3 idioms below: 1. vars: myvar (0, data2); 2. value1 = rsi(close of data2, 14); 3. value1 = rsi(close of data2, 14) data2; I agree here, it seems like my issue is not with RHM. Here's my indicator: inputs: fastma(13), slowma(26); var: fma(0), sma(0), fma2(0, data2), sma2(0, data2); fma = XAv...

Re: Multiple Data Series issue
Well, the GOOD news is that the results are exactly the same in Portfolio Trader as they are on the chart.
Seems to me like that I'm either doing something completely wrong, or there's a fairly major issue somewhere.
Any other details I can provide to help resolve the issue?

Re: Multiple Data Series issue
Hmm, I was hoping that was a hint that you had better results with intra-day + intra-day. I changed the charts to 15m (data1) and 1hr (data2), and still see similar results as a I scroll back in time. The newer bars line up better, but much farther back, I find that they've diverged. I am about to t...

Re: Multiple Data Series issue
Thanks for the tip, good idea. However, this just makes it more confusing. :) I'm plotting the 4 MAs on a single subchart, and with (or without RHM), the values are still not at the correct points to trigger the logic. I also notice that closer to the right of the chart, the values plotted on this n...
