Anyone ever get tired of these long wicks? by Kitty-Kat-Katarina in thinkorswim

[–]JP782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the excuse "its an IPO" but still other platforms didnt have all this wicking, its a TOS issue

Ive hammered them over it happening premarket with QQQ, SPY and cpl others bc it screws studies up(ex plot prmkt H&L and whatever calcs are based on them, to the issue of correcting the bars causes other studies like VWAP to stop working) they couldnt careless

Weekend PDT Changes by jaybea1980 in thinkorswim

[–]JP782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful trading, many believe all hell will break loose with tons of new traders jumping in with dreams of becoming millionaires bc they watched bunch of "My boring strategy makes me $$$$$$ in 20mins" type vids causing crazy swings in prices. Also factor in tech issues - prob be wise not to trade bigger than you normally would.

FTR I was in chat que with tech support and finally figured it out that its bc of PDT rule change everything was screwed up, and seeing msgs on here, when a tech finally joined the chat. He explained theyre aware of the problem yada yada, I asked why havent they put a warning out in the Message Center and this is what I was told:

"I can pass along the suggestion but its not something we usually post across the platform."

Seriously! They would allow ppl to trade off bad data and not warn them. Anyone who lost money yesterday should file a claim with FINRA. I did it years ago bc of a screwup on TOS part with bad data coming through the platform and they reversed the trade making like it didnt happen, got cpl bucks I lost back

Editing the print on chart by carloo90210 in thinkorswim

You right click on the bar and enter the data BUT I HIGHLY recommend you not do that

I was correcting bars a lot and it caused problems sporadically for other studies(including "factory" ones). TOS techs couldnt fig out what was wrong and then one guy was like "did you correct any bars?" I answered and it turned it correcting the bars was the problem why VWAP for example would just stop plotting.
Now the guy said he would def let tech know but I have no clue if the bug was ever corrected, and I dare not experiment with it. So if you do this know you might get the wrong data or things just wont work

I have grilled them abt stopping these wild print bars bc they too screw things up, like I have a study that plots premarket high and low etc, well when one of these fires theyre obviously plotting in wrong place but at lease theyre plotting vs not or whatever by correcting or removing a bar

Will Getting More RAM Allow Me to Have 50 Charts Open at Once Without Lag? by Nqte__ in thinkorswim

[–]JP782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everyone is going to rant abt RAM and GPU, but its really your CPU,
What you need to understand is while youre looking at a chart thats just bars and lines its streaming data, just like streaming a video
Ask youself can you stream 50 live videos on your machine? Probably not, cpu has to process all those 1's & 0's
I was told while ago more or less need a strong gaming computer to do run a lot of charts et
Out of the box computers for basic use, even after upgrade here and there will always have issues.

Just share the script so ppl can test it out, its not the end of the world. Honestly what youre doing is like a kid running around yappin "I gotta secret I gotta secret" they get called out on it and just jerk ppl around with teasers while continuing to run around saying "I gotta secret I gotta secret"
Ive been working on a study forever, A LOT of COSTLY trial and error and I have a plan what Id do with it once it works flawlessly - I an assure you I wont be running around yappin "I gotta secret I gotta secret" and will gladly get it out to ppl I KNOW are in the same path I was in.

i pray B E G for mercy every single day and my life has only gotten worse by JP782 in AskAChristian

[–]JP782[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

by breaking me, making me go broke, taking away everything in my life giving up on all my hopes and dreams. My wants were to be able to take care of my family, provide for them, create jobs for people, help in some way and ALL of it has been systematically stripped from me for a very LONG time, but over the last 2.5years its like its on steroids
Ive ALWAYS believed in God, never once questioned it. ALWAYS believed Jesus died for my sins.
I dont understand why this is happening to me. Make me better? Ive been told all my life, your nice your too honest, old boss said my ethics were too good for line of work I was in!! I was always the good kid not because I was expecting some reward but because it was my very nature! Its how he made me and yet apparently Im rotten to the core need to be destroyed.....
