lowest value occured prior to today, it will only return a count of 
0.00 any Ideas on how to get this to generate barssince would be

[amibroker-ts] Re: System optimization philosophy?

2007-04-02 Thread brian.z123
Hello Brian Siddha,

Since money management seems to have more statistical importance for
making profits than buy/sell signals.

Don't you believe it!

In the beginning was the signal.
On the first day, God said,*Let's evaluate* and saw that it was good.
On the second day, God looked in his/her wallet/purse and said,*Now 
how much shall I put on?* etc.

 Interesting replies. Thanks!
 
 Since money management seems to have more statistical importance 
for 
 making profits than buy/sell signals, does it then make sense that 
 the optimization focus should be primarily on money management? And 
 then (secondarily) optimizing the remainder of the system around 
the 
 money management (stops, scaling in/out, etc.) portion of the 
system?
 
 For example, I first develop a mildly optimized basic buy/sell 
 system. I then integrate money management into the system and then 
 optimize the money management portion. Only after that do I then 
 optimize the remainder of the system. Does this make sense in your 
 experience, from a statistical analysis standpoint?
 
 Or is this a matter of simply using something like IO (which I am 
 still learning how to use -- does more comprehensive documentation 
 exist somewhere??) since it tests all dynamic variables at one 
time? 
 Since I am not yet up and running with IO, these questions may have 
 more importance to me than otherwise.
 
 My main problem with IO right now is how to get it to use all 
 symbols, and not just a single symbol, for testing. No matter how I 
 set things, it seems, it always seems to default to the current 
 symbol. Is there a solution?
 
 Thanks again, in advance!

Hi Padhu,

i haven't yet got there but i'm in the process, through Interactive 
Brokers.

You should be able to trade on IB's IdealPro platform. Minimum trade 
amount is 20,000.

From what I can see up to now (been a week in development) Amibroker 
is recognising a trade done through IdealPro as a regular position, 
so I can't see any problems up to now.

[amibroker] Re: HELP! Save Quotetracker data in AB local database

2007-04-02 Thread hrokling
I'm having a similar problem, although I'm using the IB plugin for 
backfill:

I have created a database with local data storage enabled. Adding a 
symbol to the database, I set the plugin to get 30 day 1-min 
backfill. So, after having pulled down the 30 days of data this 
should be stored locally. Save database and close AB. Load up AB 
again, but change the plugin backfill to 1 day. Then, when selecting 
the symbol only 1 day of data is shown - backfilled from IB. 
Shouldn't this be pulled from the locally stored database?

[amibroker] create custom weighted index

2007-04-02 Thread carlacash26
Hi, hope you could help me in creating my own custom index.

I have 8 stocks that I would like to include in the index, and each 
of the stocks have their own weighting in the index;

O= (Open of A * 42) + (Open of B * 60) + (Open of C * 231  ETC...)
H= (High of A * 42) + (High of B * 60) + (High of C * 231 ETC...)
L= (Low of A * 42) + (Low of B * 60) + (Low of C * 231 ETC...)
C= (Close of A * 42) + (Close of B * 60) + (Close of C * 231 ETC...)
V= Volume added together

Is there any smooth way to create this with the weightings?


I have found the following info:
A sample formula could look like this: 
Code: 

AddToComposite(C,~myindex, C); 
AddToComposite(H,~myindex, H); 
AddToComposite(L,~myindex, L); 
AddToComposite(O,~myindex, O); 
AddToComposite(V,~myindex, V); 

You would need to copy this formula into Automatic Analysis window. 
Click on Filter - choose appropriate category you want to calculate 
index from, then click OK. Now click SCAN. Then choose View-Refresh 
All menu. In the ticker tree you will see ~myindex ticker.

[amibroker] OT: Need technical advice with a Web page

2007-04-02 Thread Yuki Taga
Can someone explain to me exactly how they have (below) encoded a
requirement for me to communicate with their computer to simply
perform a copy operation from my clipboard to my application?  Is
there any way around this?

At the following link:  (if you have a Japanese capable browser)

http://www.tse.or.jp/market/STATISTICS/06.html

you can find the 33 TSE industry groups, how they closed both the
morning and afternoon sessions.

For years, I have been quickly copying and pasting this data into a
.csv file that I then import to AB.  I copy all four columns, then
paste into Excel, then copy only the closing value column from inside
Excel, and paste it over the other three columns. (Something about
the table prevents copying of individual columns, but I easily put up
with the tiny extra bit of work.)  This gives me a line chart in AB
by the way, because OHLC are then the same.

Over the weekend, however, they have apparently revamped this site. I
can copy just like I used to, but when I paste, I am alerted by my
firewall that my computer wants to connect, repeatedly, to some TSE
computer (as well as to localhost).

Since I never had to do this before, I tried blocking it via the
firewall, but it just freezes Excel if I do that.  Finally, I allowed
it, and it works *almost* like before.

I even tried e-mailing myself a copy of the page, but even though
it's being opened as a temp file by my mail client, I still get the
pop ups from the firewall when I try to paste the data into Excel.  I
have never had this experience before.

Very annoying.

It usually do this by saving the webpage (HTML only) and then open

I can copy those four columns, select a cell in Excel, paste the data using

It sounds like there is a new firewall complaining.

Did something change in your computer?  Or in the Internet Service Provider?

That works, thanks.  Do you get a warning box after the file-open
request complaining about two missing .css files?  I do, but the file
opens anyway, and I'm able to copy the one single column I want
anyway to the clipbord, and paste it with no problems.

Disadvantage:  The old way, I could paste directly into the target
.csv file, then copy one column and paste it to four columns.  But
with this method (from one htm file to the target .csv file) I cannot
paste all four columns at once, but first have to do one, then paste
over the others.

I still want to know why my clipboard is calling www.tse.or.jp for a
paste command into an Excel .csv file.  I've been doing this with
various sites for years, including sites where I had to use the Paste
Special - Text operation.  I've never had an outbound connection
alert on something like this -- ever.

[amibroker] OT: Esignal no longer offers the Basic Subscription

2007-04-02 Thread Paul Ho
I got this info from Esignal. Although they will continue with existing
basic subscriptions.
that means new subscribers will need to subscribe to the Premier plan which
is $30 more a month for not really much more. (I think its 500 symbols) as
compared to the 200 limit. but AB does very well with 200.
 
Anybody knows Whats happening there?
 


Re: [amibroker] OT: Need technical advice with a Web page

2007-04-02 Thread Yuki Taga
Hi Howard,

The fiscal year ended in Japan (for most companies) on March 31.  So
there are a lot of changes that usually surprise us on April 1.  ^_^

For years, I have had no trouble copying this data and pasting it,
selecting a single cell in the file I want to copy to, getting a
four-column-wide copy, which I then quickly adjust to suit.  No
problems, until today.

But the TSE site was extensively redone over the weekend.  Tonight, I
cannot do as you say you can do (which baffles me, for sure).  I did
try the Paste-Special - Text before posting my first note.  I get
all the rows that way, but no columns -- all four fields come out as
a single column, which then makes separation of the numerical data
(all I want) all but impossible.

Absolutely nothing new on the box.  This is a working box, not a toy,
so I don't tinker with anything unless I absolutely have to, and of
course I have a backup ready at all times in that case.

When I try the regular Paste command, that gets the job done, but
apparently it is calling the TSE for a .css file that puts some
special formatting in the Excel file, formatting that I discard
anyway, because I save as .csv, which will not accept certain types
of special formatting.

There are something in the neighborhood of TEN or ELEVEN connection
requests going out.  The first and third are definitely identified by
the firewall (Kerio Personal latest) as www.tse.or.jp.  They are both
HTTP (Port 80).  The rest are all localhost requests to okay port
1657. And Kerio pretty much stuffs my machine if I reject the
connection requests.  I have never, ever, come across anything like
this before.

I have found a workaround however ... and that is simply to disable
all traffic via the firewall, before pasting.  There is a delay of a
very few seconds, which I never had to put up with before, but
nothing hangs, as it does if I try to refuse each connection request
as it comes up from the firewall.

But I find it extremely strange that you can apparently do this
without needing to fight anything.  I suppose I could make a
permanent rule for these, but I'm wondering what the heck is going
on.

Best,

Yuki

Yes, you can safely ignore the warning box (click OK).

Can't help you re. the firewall. I do get the same firewall notice 
and when I deny connection it still pastes indeed.

If you can write some VBA you could automate and speed up all your 
copy/paste activities. Tha's what I do with various web data I 
collect:

- save the webpage
- open in XL
- run my one-click macro to process/copy/paste anything anywhere I 
want in the blink of an eye. You can also suppress any warning boxes 
etc.

In case you're not familiar you can start with 

Tools - Macro - Record New Macro 

to record your routine and work from there. If these are daily 
routines then that's definitely worth looking into.

David,

I have posted a running sheet in the root of the group files that
contains clips from a good cross section of archival posts on using
fdata with AB via various paths including ODBC plug in.
It is well worth a read for any aspiring AB Fundamentalists.

ODBCPLugin.doc (the file will come down in a few days).

My *hunch* is we can do things with these methods that other retail
software can't e.g. there are so many different types of fdata
available and also different user requirements that only the flexible
approach of AB can handle this.

I now have to put my office hours where my mouth is and have a go at
it myself.
Some good people are using this approach or have tried it.
From the talk it seems to have it's problems or are we making it
harder than it needs to be?

experiencing successful virtual trading, backtesting, papertrading

 improvement, etc. - and now I see that AB supports fundamental data!

 A couple of questions:

 - What data sources provide historical fundamental data? What
are
 people using? (The matrix lists QuotePlus as a source of fundamental
 data, but it isn't clear if they provide HISTORICAL fundamental data
 that I can use for backtesting)

 - Are people actually doing this? Anyone have good success?

 I've been asking the P123 guys to add more TA functions, but they
 don't really seem to put a high priority on it.

 I think AB + access to the same historical fundamental data that
P123
 uses (Reuters, I believe) would be excellent.

 Comments, tip, wisdom appreciated!

  I got this info from Esignal. Although they will continue with existing basic 
subscriptions.
  that means new subscribers will need to subscribe to the Premier plan which 
is $30 more a month for not really much more. (I think its 500 symbols) as 
compared to the 200 limit. but AB does very well with 200.

  Anybody knows Whats happening there?

Hi Randy,

This seems to work just fine, thanks.  But ... it doesn't solve the
outbound connection attempts.  It seems that lifting *anything* from
that TSE page prompts an outbound connection.

[amibroker] SP Website (.xls constituants list)

2007-04-02 Thread Michael.S.G.

I have noticed the SP website has changed.
Now SP appears to only have the data in web pages now, and I am unable 
to download the ASX SP 200 (etc) in .xls format.


Anyone know if SP lists can still be downloaded in .xls format from the 
SP website??



KR
   Michael.


** Special Note (AS OF 3/4/07) **
I have also noticed within the SP a NEW GICS sector code of [65 
Financial-x-Property Trusts]
LINK 
http://www2.standardandpoors.com/portal/site/sp/en/au/page.topic/indices_asx200/2,3,2,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0.html


However, both the GICS map and ASX listed companies fail to show this 
new GICS sector yet.
LINK 
http://www2.standardandpoors.com/portal/site/sp/en/au/page.topic/indices_gics/2,3,1,7,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.html

LINK http://www.asx.com.au/research/companies/index.htm

No doubt a new GICS map will be released sometime this month and changes 
to ASX listed companies will follow suite.

Re: [amibroker] OT: Need technical advice with a Web page

2007-04-02 Thread Michael.S.G.
Yuki,
No problems here in copy/paste data from that website. (Copy from 
Firefox, Paste to OpenOffice spreadsheet)

Do you have automatic updates switched on for windows?
Are you using Firefox or  Internet Explorer? (Has IE been updated at all?)

Because when I try and copy/paste with Internet Explorer - It FAILS.
When I paste as unformatted - EVERYTHING goes to the 1st column.
When I paste as formatted - EVERYTHING goes to the 1st cell.
When I paste as HTML I get some extra cruft about document source (The 
website address) pasted in the top cell and the rest of the cells are 
pasted ok (ie 4 columns).

Suggest you try Firefox before anything else.

KR
Michael.

 AddToComposite(L,~myindex, L); 
 AddToComposite(O,~myindex, O);
