DLL...C++ holy moly...you guys are waaay over my head. Just entered SAWS on 30 min crossover at 59 3/4. I have been adjusting the SMA for each stock I am watching trying to find the best combination to take out as many whipsaws as I can. SAWS seemed to do well with SMA 5/8. So.....time will tell. paper trading is sooooo much easier ggggg MMK

Screening Software .. If I'm following the conversation correctly it seems that we want to screen a stock database for : 1)Recent high intraday price volatility Suggestion: calculate daily range or a moving average of daily range as a percentage of a moving average of closing price 2)For stocks that satisfy selection criteria in (1) Monitor and alert in real-time for 5/8 moving average cross-overs on 60 minute interval charts Suggestion: make sure that the screening software is capable of monitoring any moving average/time period combination that seems worthwhile What are anyone's suggestions for appropriate software ?? SI has a deal with IQ-charts for real-time charting @ $35.00/month .. the package has a 'scan' feature which may be able to do some/most of the above .. Go to the 'charts' section of SI and 'click' on 'real-time charts' for a link to IQ-Charts I also found this service .. linnsoft.com but haven't had the time to check how flexible the package is .. Costs appear to vary from $42.00 - $84.00 per month Another package that I know can do what we want is Bristol Financial Services' "Insight" software .. This is a very flexible real-time pattern recognition program that will 'alert' for MA cross-overs as they happen for as many as 1,000 unique issues simultaneously It used to cost $150.00/month not including price data .. so this is fairly expensive but I know it can do the job ..
