EMATS buy

    The EMATS are reversing today, if you are short, close it. If you are in cash buy 1/3 a postion in the SPY.

    Yes, EMAs.  Strange, isn't it?

    Yes.  I trade off of a realtime feed from IB to Multicharts.  That's why I'm confused.  It probably doesn't make a lot of difference, but I would like to figure out why your values are different from mine.

    That is really weird, I tried both Log and Linear ? you are using EMAs and not Simple moving ????

    Yeah, both of the platforms

    Yeah, both of the platforms I mentioned are using today's values.  To see what I'm talking about, go to freestockcharts.com (Matt uses this for his realtime mechanical system charts).  And Multicharts has different values from freestockcharts.com and Stockcharts (although with the 34 still below the 54 EMA).

    Algyros, do you not have a real time platform to trade off of?

    I see that on Stockcharts; I was just wondering about the discrepancy.  I've tried playing around withe market hours data, data with pre and/or post market data, and I can't reproduce those values.  Can anyone help me figure this out?

    I have the same problem

    Then it makes no sense, is it showing today's date? SPY chart

    I have SPY charts set

    Posted by algyros on 16th of Feb 2010 at 04:28 pm

    I have SPY charts set up on both Multicharts and FreeStockCharts.com, and neither of these show a reversal.  On both, the 34 EMA is still below the 54 EMA.  Do you have a theory as to why this might be the case?

    I use Decision Point and

    I use Decision Point and it uses the same platform as Stockcharts.

    I see the 34 above the 54on both linear and logrithmic.

     It shows the same on Stockcharts with the 34 at 109.71 & 54 at 109.69.

    Thanks, ditch! Are they any

    Thanks, ditch! Are they any other trading popular strategies that are switched to "buy" now or are just about to? I am curious what the "written" rules others use out there.
