Richie, i just saw Roberts email where you realized the OEX had dropped EMC for now HSY. thanks so much... i couldn't figure out why my OEX labels weren't working and the chart not updating. i went to check the cboe website on friday but it was last updated 8/31 and still showing EMC. just curious... would you happen to know if theres a way to get on an email notification from cboe and naby mntman - Trading Discussion
Quotefingerlake What time frames do you use? actually I have a full time job so have been unable to learn day trading. so instead I've been studying swing trading which is usually a few days to a few weeks at max... so my time frames i use for swing trade charts are daily with between 1 month to 6 month time frames. depending on how choppy the trend is sometimes i have to zoom out to 6m to gby mntman - Trading Discussion
Quotefingerlake Do the scans work on lower aggression periods (ex 2 min)? Yes.. like robert mentions on his website they will work on any time frame. i ran a check just now with the scan and found CIEN which shows both RSI and Macd divergences on a 2 min chart. (sorry for the large pic... i was hoping it would be scaled down as a preview). Note: Example of roberts scan with 2 minby mntman - Trading Discussion

QuoteTrader Robert's Overbought/Oversold indicator was reading overbought at the close i haven't used this one. i was very curious about it when i first saw it (for my once a week analysis) but i don't really pay much attention to the DOW so i never bought it. i follow more SPX, NDX, RUT and OEX indexes. i thought the math was pretty interesting concept though when i read roberts post on itby mntman - Trading Discussion
cool... thanks RichieRick... I've wondered about this too and never knew if it was possible.by mntman - Trading Discussion
Quoterobert According to Alexander, the breaking of the centerline between two indicator bottoms is an absolute must for a true divergence. really enjoying your macd divergence indicator! in times past there has been times i got frustrated expecting a divergence and it not yet play out (ie march '16). but using yours based off Elder's definition of breaking the zero line really has made a diby mntman - Trading Discussion
awesome! thanks robert... once again it seems impossible to stump you. how does this actually work? it seems like the condition would be a loop upon itself? i guess maybe "condition" is the actual curve and all we're doing is telling it the highest or lowest arcs on the curve? condition == LowestAll(condition) I'm so used to thinking in price (high or low) that i didn't rby mntman - Trading Discussion
would you guys happen to know if its possible to add a bubble to a lower study? i tried the "addchartbubble" using highestall(high) but it tries to add it as the upper price, but i may have been doing it wrong too. i use roberts rising tide on a 30dma and was thinking it'd be kinda cool to see the dates of the top and bottom of the average curve in the study to see when they peak.by mntman - Trading Discussion

robert be honest... are you a witch or something? i don't know how you do it... you got to be the smartest man alive hands down! seriously thank you so much! took me days to get mine halfway working when it only takes you seconds. till now I've been using just the limited std TOS comparison study. i figured the % and how to rank them in order last night, but my % script is stuck to just 1by mntman - Trading Discussion

QuoteKevinR What is causing this weird bug? i thought i read one time that not all data feeds come in at the exact same speed at opening bell, and thus some symbols are updated slightly earlier than others. I'm not sure how true this is, and if maybe it depends on which exchange a symbol is being traded from? maybe some more experienced future traders know.... i tried googling it but unfortuby mntman - Trading Discussion
