4. 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 APM7-2EPM7 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 change the Tick Size from Auto to 0.5
   5) Click OK

6. 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 periods that extend over multiple days.

   Let me be more concrete. I would like to find programmatically, for each day in a specified date range, say June 15 to Aug 14, the difference between the opening price of a security and the closing price the day before. Can I do that? And if so how?

   Second question: I’d like to return the dates and times when certain rare events occur. Say, for example, I want the dates and times when the 12 period moving average crosses the 144-period moving average in the first hour of the daytime trading session for a security. Can I get those date/time values? If so, how?

7. 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, in that there is no obvious conceptual incompatibility between Renko bricks and a function that inquires whether the high within the brick occurred before the low in the brick or, conversely.

   Do you have a list of functions known not to work with Renko bricks? Alternatively, can you provide a rule of thumb, or some way that I could use to identify or predict which functions will fail in this setting?

9. 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; a sweet-spot to work with. I discuss a method to find best roll position for TYAA (Financials) Metals and Dax. You can apply the same reasoning and logic to any globally traded future by simply observing behaviour..

11. 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 or intraday session
    4. Horizontal and vertical mirror imaging sets

    Why do this? Well, if you want to know, from a risk profile, whether your systems hold up when volatility explodes, you may find answers that surprise you. Say you want to consider whether the the open you follow in a 24h market, is statistically significant to your test results or not? If you are trading a volatility off open momentum model, then this is the type of robustness test you may wish to consider. Say if a trending portfolio suddenly alters its regime?

    Data is king of kings — treat it that way.

12. 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 importer read-in stage. For instance, who wants to purchase an expensive data portfolio only to find double timestamps, non contiguous data, zeroes and date issues destroying the all-important data parsing from your backtester.

    The moral is: Get your data right first and don't blame your backtester's framework! :)

13. Conditions for Marking a Bar / Marking Todays Bars

    Hello. I like to mark all bars of the current day (today). I did not find a condition for that. At the moment I solve this task with the LocalDayOfWeek(@) = x formula. But this is not ideal as I need to change the "x" every day.

    Thank You.

14. Window titles and divider sizing.

    When switching from windows 7 to windows 10, the width of the window borders becomes too wide and the ability is lost to adjust the title bar font sizing. Please allow for the ability to use slimmer window widths and the ability to adjust the title bar fonts.

16. OCO bracket created on two existing orders

    Let's suppose the trader already placed the two dis-joint orders such as a BUY limit @ 90 and a BUY stop @ 110. Bid/ask is at 99/100.
    Is it possible to join together these two orders into one logic OCO after they are already placed on the DOMTrader as described above?

20. Customize chart window title bar in CQG running on Windows 10

    CQG on Windows 7 (via Control Panel>Personalization>Window Color) allows chart windows in a page to have:

    • customizable title bar size
    • customizable title bar fonts
    • customizable colors.

    It would be great to have this capability for CQG on Windows 10 as well if you plan to stop supporting Windows 7.
