Hi all,
I'm dusting off my old TS2000i to experiment with a few forex ideas, and
it's been so long since I've used it that I seem to have forgotten a few
things!!
I'm just feeding it ASCII data -- 1min bars running from 0000 to 2359.
(The ASCII-file support is even flakier than I remember. I've crashed
it 6 times in the last 2 hours...)
Before I set up GS, I just ran TS and pointed it at the ASCII file. I
tried to set the session times to 00:00am - 11:59pm, but TS keeps
setting the session-start time to 1:00pm! (Or sometimes 1:00am, but I
don't know why it changes??) Does it think the data is in GMT or
something? I tried setting the "Offset to Datafeed Time" in Desktop
Options but that didn't change anything.
Then I remembered I could set up symbols in GS and I wouldn't have to
enter the tick size &etc every time. So I set up GS and created a
EURUSD symbol in the FOREX exchange. But I can't get TS to see it. If
I enter the symbol & exchange in the symbol "Settings" dialog, it
doesn't recognize the EURUSD symbol. If I set the exchange to FOREX and
search for *, it doesn't return any symbols. What am I doing wrong?
On another subject: has anyone cobbled together a hack to do decent
portfolio testing in TS2000i? I could dump out the equity curve for
each symbol and just add them together, but that doesn't account for
profits from other symbols, so the position sizing is wrong. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Gary
