As our office is located in downtown Toronto, we are affected by the traffic redirection and security measures imposed by the police from Friday to Sunday.
Fedex may not offer normal service starting tomorrow (Friday).
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Construction work is done.
We are taking this opportunity to clean up the office. i.e. throwing away old stuff like old computers etc.
The whole place looks new!
2nd installment on the changes in NeoTicker 4.30 that will help users utilize their computers and data services in ways never possible before.

Construction work in progress at this moment.
Will make sure backfill is working properly with minimal downtime.
We are in the process of relocating our in-house network servers, data servers, etc. into a new location within the office. And it turns out that everybody wanted to expand the # of servers, so we’ve made adjustment to our plans to expand the server room.
That in turn will affect our data uploading capabilities (i.e. backfill servers) in the coming 2 weeks in case someone unplug the wrong router within the network. (I hope not!)
Any abruption to backfill data should be short and timed so that it will only happen during off peak trading hours.
NeoTicker 4.30 is coming soon. There are things current users need to know and there are things power users wanted to know.
As usual, many new users do not understand why going from 4.20 to 4.30 is such a big deal. So, I am here to explain why.

This article shows how to use NeoTicker as simulator with data from our backfill server, the symbol used in this example is ESD_F. (Note: For all available backfill symbols refer to Suppoted Symbols post.) The example replay data for 1 day at regular speed.
There are two parts to run NeoTicker simulation:
I will detail these two processes step by step below.

As we are working on the next major release of Grid Optimizer, we listed out various areas that we would like to see improvements on,
– database component that is in use in version 1 is not as efficient at 200K+ records
– how to squeeze out more horse power from each computer during optimization as the current generation of computers are much more inline with our concept of parallel computing
– OLE automation is missing
All these items, however, require us to make architectural changes. Thus we’ve finally decided to go for a version 2.0 release as oppose to staying with the version 1 naming.
I like what I see so far from the prototypes. I am sure you will all like the coming release of Grid Optimizer.
I have received a lot of emails over the past several months about the S&P Breadth Chart and related questions on trading, that I will try to answer some of them here right before March Break.
(Lawrence: I wrote this article some time ago and due to some unusual circumstances, it is delayed til now that I get the chance to proof read and post it)

The last NeoTicker 4.20 build was released for several days now. We are now on full speed to work on various features we have wanted to put into NeoTicker for a long time.
Several new features are in beta testing right now for the first release of NeoTicker 4.30 –
1. Ability to reduce memory footprints on nested indicators
2. Several drawing tools related new features and advancements
3. An edge that many people, both NeoTicker users and other traders, have been asking about – due to my frequent posting in several trading forums in real-time
As usual, I keep asking for more changes and improvements after testing the new version while those requests are not in the specifications I made. I suspect that my programmers are not that happy at the moment. =)
Just an update to let everyone knows our issues with junk mails and messages are resolved.
Thank you everyone for being patient and understanding during the time we were struggling with this kind of unavoidable problems in this Internet age.
Edit: There were several days during this period where many of our emails are completely removed at the ISP end due to the flooding of incoming emails. Should you find that we may not have responded to your messages for this very reason, please resend your email.
We receive tons of junk mail all the time. And tons of junk posts in forum and blog site everyday. It is normal everyday business for us to clean up these messages and posts.
But this time its different – Someone obviously bombed our domain with thousands of messages and posts at the moment. Not sure if it is malicious attack or just bots exploiting potential weaknesses.
We are dealing with the issue now and it will delay our response. Sorry for the inconvenience.
