In the article An Introduction to Time Distribution Analysis, I introduced an indicator that can be used to generate reports based on user defined criteria. This indicator is a very good example that illustrate the concepts behind the NeoTicker indicator object model, which is the foundation for writing indicators and trading systems using regular programming languages (Delphi, VB, VC++, VC#, VB.NET, etc.) or one of the supported scripting languages (Delphi Script, VBScript).

Most trading platforms can draw multiple charting styles - bar chart, candlestick, line, square, etc. For the more advanced ones, you can even plot point and figure charts, renko, kagi, momentum bars, volume bars, etc. Of course, NeoTicker can do all these charting styles, with the ability to varies the underlying data series through our superposition technology. The problem is, such charting styles can involves the use of retraction that retracts the bars that are already drawn, due to the fact that the latest price update is not the actual last price print for the underlying data series. For a visual trader, that is not a problem at all, because they already understand that retraction can happen and it is expected. For a system trader, however, that affects the fundamental operation of a trading system because the data series retract. Managed Series is our solution to this issue.

In the article An Introduction to Time Distribution Analysis, I introduced an indicator that can be used to generate reports based on user defined criteria. This indicator is a very good example that illustrates the cross language development capability in NeoTicker.

(Lawrence - this article requires some basic knowledge in at least one of the programming languages supported by NeoTicker. e.g. Delphi, VB, VC++, VC#, VB.NET, C++ Builder, or NeoTicker’s built-in scripting language, Delphi Script.)
