  1. Ladder Size

    I think it's version 18x12x8063 that I upgraded to today. Doesn't allow the same smaller size ladders.

    Previous version was 18x10x8032.

    Is there an option somewhere to change to a smaller font?

    Or how do I roll back to previous software version?

  2. Preventing impossible trades in backtesting

    I have some strategies that frequently trade on the same bar. Most of these trades are fine, but in back-testing, I have reason to believe that some small number of them are trading in an impossible order. For instance, in a long trade, the price might enter the bar at an intermediate value, fall to the low that meets my sell condition, rise to a high that meets my buy condition, and then exit to the next bar. In back-testing, this would show up as a completed trade, since both my sell and my buy condition are met within the…

  4. Please add colors to the Tabs and add colors to the Pages sections. Just like color choices were added to the Custom Study section.

    My idea helps the user more efficiently navigate the CQG integrated client when switching between Tabs or Pages

  5. Price levels/areas from CSV file

    Hello, need help creating a study that gets a list of price levels from a CSV file (or online google sheet file) and plots them on the chart, this way I don't need to do plot all my price lines daily.

    Plotting price areas (between two price levels) would also be a plus.

    Thanks

  9. Please add the ability to re-order curves and parameters in the formula builder.

    Currently re-ordering is not possible and this can mean to move a curve or parameter all other parameters that will be below will need to be deleted and re-created.
    This is extremely time-consuming.

  12. How to make spread display half-ticks in DOMTrader

    Entering a spread like APM7-2EPM7 into a DOMTrader window will show prices in increments of whole numbers (1100, 1101, 1102, 1103, etc). To change this to increments of 0.5 or other value you can do the following:
    1) In the DOMTrader window right-click on the tab at the top where you see APM7-2
    EPM7 and select "Create QFormula".
    2) Right click on that tab again and select “Edit QFormula”. This will open the Formula window.
    3) In the formula window, highlight the formula (which should show as SPREAD(APM7-2*EPM7).
    4) Click on "Setup" at the bottom of the window and…

  14. 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
    but I have not been able to figure out how to do similar things for…

  15. 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,…

  17. 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;…

  19. 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:

    1. Increasing and decreasing the volatility across a commodity or portfolio of commodities
    2. Cropping intraday bars from the beginning and end of your daily session
    3. Randomising the opens and closes of the daily…

  20. Portara - Discussion on SOB (Start of Bar) versus EOB (End of Bar) intraday txt CSV backtest data

    Some backtesters require data in SOB (Start of Bar) format where others require an EOB (End of Bar) approach. This video contrasts the difference between the two sets of valid timestamp models — for the data importer interfaces that backtesters contain — and researchers inevitable come across. With Portara, you can make backtesting choices for any style of backtester you currently work with — even customized self-designs. Make sure you UNDERSTAND fully the data you are working with.

    The worst case scenario is to purchase data from an unknown supplier only to find 'surprises' later when you reach the data…
