What are SP_D3A and SP_TICK16?

Before summer started, my son was learning probability at school and his teacher gave his class some interesting questions to solve. The background is that they’ve just learned fraction, decimal numbers, etc.

What are SP_D3A and SP_TICK16?

(Lawrence: Many people asked for an update to this chart. Here it is. Once the new daytradingbias.com site is up, it will be updated daily at its new home.)

For users who connect NeoTicker to IB TWS for order placement or data, do not upgrade to TWS build 907.7 release on August 2, 2010 until further notice, as current version of NeoTicker IB order server is not compatible with TWS latest build.

For users who have already upgraded, you can download and previous version of TWS from IB site.

Using direct connection has its advantage (over Wi-Fi)

It is best to use direct connection (i.e. with ethernet cable and all that) over Wi-Fi connection, because it can remove one potential cause of disconnect easily. Interference within your home can sometimes disconnect your computer from the Internet.

For example, there are some wireless home phone that, when in use, can drop your computer’s Wi-Fi connection quality significantly. If you experience data lag or disconnect when you are on the phone, then see if you can move the base of the wireless home phone away from the computer to improve the situation.

I promised to provide some details on DaytradingBias.com. Here it is!

The concept came from the mass amount of emails I received throughout the years asking for help from retail traders, both beginners and struggling ones. It is no secret that learning to trade is not easy and that daytrading is well-known for its 90% failure rate within first year.

I have answered as many emails as I could and posted some pointer articles in the neoticker blog site. But it seems like the knowledge and information are lost in cyberspace as I keep receiving more questions on similar topics almost all the time.

DaytradingBias.com is my effort to organize the knowledge and information in a way that is easy to access for all.

General trading related materials, educational materials for trading, and commentaries on various markets will be posted in the DaytradingBias.com website, while NeoTicker specific materials will stay with NeoTicker blog. This will make DaytradingBias.com pretty platform neutral and encourage healthy discussions among traders no matter what tools they are using.

We have been working on our side project, daytradingbias.com, for quite sometime already. Most of the stuff we want to put into the site is now ready.

Will post more information about the site soon.

Our sales office will be closed.

Support normal hours.

This is indicator was featured in the article “Average True Range Trailing Stops” by Sylvain Vervoort in June 2009 issue of TASC. The indicator is named TASC modified average true range, it has two plots and three parameters. Download of indicator script is available below.

TASC Modified Average True Range

These two indicators were featured in the article “An Anchored Vwap Channel for Congested Markets” written by Andrew Coles, in July, 2010 issue of TASC magazine. They are daily (TASC VWAP Channel) and intraday (TASC VWAP Channel Intraday) with different sensitive level settings for upper and lower bands. The two indicators accept two parameters, and will plot Vwap along with upper and lower bands on a chart.
