Scaling Charts
When scaling the charts bigger (candle charts for example), also the space between the candles is scaling bigger and is losing lots of space on the chart. It would be great if you could scale the space between the candles independently to save space on the chart. Thanks!

Alert Trade information
When you set a Trade as an "Action" in the Alerts tool, you can select: Buy, Sell, Liquidate, etc. However, in the display (see screenshot below) it just shows "Trade'. It would be good to have the display show the exact trade action selected e.g. Buy, Sell etc,

Horizontal line which starts at various time points
To start, you will want to make use of the Hour(@) and Minute(@) functions to get the current time. You will multiply the Hour(@) by 60 and add it to the minute to get the current day's time integer. In a custom study, you will create four parameters for the example you propose, such as "hour1," "minute1," "hour2," and "minute2."
Then you might code the formula as follows:
a1:= Hour(@)60 + Minute(@);
b1:= hour2 *60 + minute2;
c1:= hour160 + minute1;
d1:= (Close(@),D)[-1];
e1:= a1 xabove b1;
price:= IF(a1 >=b1, g1, f2);
f1:= a1 xabove c1;
f2:= IF(a1…1 vote -
Manipulating dates / Dates as parameters / Dating events
From the discussion of the parameter values, here: http://news.cqg.com/blogs/coding/2014/04/parameters-inside-cqg-code, I am guessing that the unique date and time specified in parameters are the usual POSIX values most computers use. Is there a way to extract unique date/time values from an event, like a peak or a cross? And can you define a date/time range, and a date/time difference, in a way that lets you use such ranges or difference in a formula or study? I saw the discussion of the TIMER function, here: http://news.cqg.com/blogs/coding/2013/09/timer-helper-and-cqgs-setreset-function

Renko bricks
I have identified several functions, most recently High Low First (HiLo1) , which do not work when trading on Renko bricks. When I say “don’t work” I do not mean that they give the wrong answer, but rather, that they do not give any answer at all. I have sometimes spent a lot of time trying to understand why something isn’t working before finally trying in on candles instead.
I have not been able to identify any commonalty in these functions , functions that work on candles but not on Renkos. The High Low First function is a good example,…

How do I change the time frame on a chart?
In the lower left corner of an active chart, you will see a blinking cursor. This is the command line. If you are on an Intraday chart and want to look at a Daily chart, type a comma ( , ) and the letter D (,D). Other entries for Historical timeframes are: Weekly (,W), Monthly (,M), Quarterly (,Q), and Annually (,Y). For Intraday timeframes of 1 minute to 60 minutes, just type the number (1, 10, 15, etc.).

Portara - Where is the best place to Roll A Futures Contract
I am often asked where the best place is to roll a futures contract even from seasoned traders. There are many variants but in the end it boils down to a date and an underlying reason why. If you don't know the nuances of the various sectors and markets that have developed over the years and why for instance you need to choose long periods in the metals before expiry date compared to only a day or so in the indexes then you face problems. This presentation demonstrates a few very simple methods of how to determine an optimal place;…

Portara - Robustness Testing & Strategy Optimisation Using Data
Traders often try to use their backtester — personal code or software application — to create ways in which to test system models for robustness. However, perhaps there is a much easier solution? Perhaps manipulating the data itself, rather than the code, is a far easier way in which to draw result comparisons. In this simple video you will see the creation of alternative data sets based on:
- Increasing and decreasing the volatility across a commodity or portfolio of commodities
- Cropping intraday bars from the beginning and end of your daily session
- Randomising the opens and closes of the daily…
