Here’s the link for this week’s eotpro Elite Series seminar: http://eotpro.acrobat.com/p27832528/. We had some good questions this time… so much so that I didn’t get to go over many of the functions!

This one’s for you, Rafal!
This will go into the May release. It’s a complement to the existing functions for identifying divergences. This one identifies hidden divergences.

I didn’t even get to turn on my platform today, so I have no idea how the markets went. But, according to Jessica, I don’t merely offer market information. No sirree. I am also a lifestyle advisor. So, here’s a tip from me to you: take a day or two off every now and then. The markets will still be there tomorrow. Get a swedish massage. Or alternately, massage a swede or two.

Here are a few screenshots I put together as advertisements for my eotpro elite functions series. They’ll be posted on tradestation forums during the week, but loyal readers here can see them now.
They show off example trades from the setup I have been showing in the live room lately. This was just a simple system I threw together with little or no thought, but over the last week or two in the live room it’s held up pretty well. I think with some tweaking and study it could be tradeable. It’s conservative, in that it doesn’t trade many times per day, but has a very high win rate so far. Not to mention, Bonnie’s Bars tend to keep the losses in the 0 to 2 point range, which is pretty sweet.
What’s interesting to me, is that it doesn’t even use a volume indicator! Funny… and that makes me want to test it on forex data, when I get the chance.
Anyway, as the ads proudly state, this is just one of the many ways you can combine these indicators. I’m biased, of course, since it’s my code… but I’ve been very impressed so far with how well the elite functions and indicators work in concert. Little demonstration ideas like Alla’s MACD and this setup have turned out to be very promising in their own right. I had no idea that would happen so easily, when I put them together.

I come in at about the 46 minute mark. But you may want to watch Bill and Glen’s sections. Glen previews a new scalping method he’s working on, which looks pretty cool. Here is a link to the streaming video:

It was great that there were so many questions. I enjoyed the Q&A part. On the other hand, there were so many questions that I only got to show off a small fraction of the elite package I’ve made available. I was able to go over quite a bit more at my first seminar.

I downloaded the latest tradestation build tonight, and played with the simulator and new matrix features. I’m pretty pleased with the new stuff. I know a lot of folks say “too little, too late,” but I have actually been pretty happy with TS.

Someone was asking me how easy it is to make a basic strategy out of the elite function series I am offering through eotpro.com. In particular, their mail said:
Do you have an example strategy with the Easy Language code that utilizes some of the Elite functions? …. For instance take the first PattyB signal after a bias line change, but only if Market Sync is with the trade.
My response:
…here is a strategy that gets in on the first patty b after a bias line change, if market sync is with it. It keeps a stop 2 ticks behind the last plot cycle, and gets out if it shows $200 profit:
vars:
pb(0),
ms(0);// set up the indicators
pb = $rtFirstNPattyBs(…pattyb input values…);
ms = $rtMktSyncPredict;// entry rules
if(pb = 1) and (ms >= -1) then buy next bar at market;
if(pb = -1) and (ms <= 1) then sell short next bar at market;// keep a stop beyond last plot cycle
sell next bar at $rtPlotCycleStopL(2) stop;
buy to cover next bar at $rtPlotCycleStopS(2) stop;// take $200 if we can get it
setprofittarget(200);
That’s not intended for real-world use! But, it’s an example of how simple things are simple, with these building blocks. The kinds of things that eotpro clients tend to ask for are packaged up, ready to be dropped into a strategy or custom indicator. Stuff that trips up non-programmers, like tracking the bias line and making sure you only take one signal (and only if it’s within the first few bars after the bias change, etc.) is all taken care of for you.

I’ve been listening to TRS-80 this morning, so I thought I’d post one of their videos.
Their music is good for when your mind isn’t in its normal state…
Ok, here’s another couple videos… “American Smooth Division”:
… and “Cliff Evans”:

Every Thursday night, the eotpro folks hold “indicator night,” where they go over their indicators and answer questions from clients and guests. Well, last night, I gave about an hour seminar on the new functions and indicators I’ve been working on. And, it was recorded!
Here’s the link to the streaming video:

Watch it. Because I said so!
The first half hour is Bill going over the major eotpro indicators, and then I come on and go over a big chunk of the new stuff I’ve put together for them. If you just want my portion, you can seek to it, but if you are unfamiliar with the eotpro indicators you’ll probably find that first part interesting as well. Even though it’s over an hour, we still didn’t touch on everything.
It’s a big package I’m releasing, full of things that people have been requesting from me, based on my videos. And, until now, I’ve always had to turn them down… either because the needed functions were not there, or because I do not release indicators I use to put food on my table for free. Both of those issues have been taken care of now, and I’m pretty happy with the reception I’ve gotten and the excitement generated so far. I’ve been getting phone calls from around the world asking about the availability of these indicators. Good for my ego, not so good for my phone bill.
