Hi Chris,
Glad to help and just give a shout if you need anything
else. If you do stocks at all, TC Gold does update (20 min delayed) throughout
the day with the end of day data generally available by 5:30 PM or so (I
generally wait until after 6:30). You will know it is the day's final data when
you get the day's Worden Report at the end of the download.
FWIW, I used to use the TC charting a fair amount,
however the language is a real kludge compared to AFL. Many indicators and
other things are not native and while they sometimes can be written, it is
hardly worth the effort. I coded an ATR scan once and I think it took me
over 40 lines of code just for ATR, plus it couldn't be changed on the fly (as
one can do in AB with parameters). TC supposed strength is in it's
scanning ability (definitely not it's charts), at least it seems so until one
uses AB. Sigh, when you get used to driving a Porsche, it's hard to be
satisfied with a 1960's era VW Bug. <VBG> Of course your mileage may
vary.
For several years now my primary use of TC has been
simply as a data provider to AB and to read the daily Worden reports for market
views and other user's thoughts. When one takes advantage of the
occasional sales (generally once a year) and signs up for a burst of
two years the daily cost is really quite minimal. A number of
years ago I signed up for the Platinum (their real time feed) during one of
their sales, but found that it really did nothing for me and didn't interface
with AB so converted back to Gold (the EoD data). They credited all the
dollars I'd paid for Platinum to the Gold which became an almost 5 year
subscription. That was a great deal.
Anyway, give it a spin for your six months and then
decide, but mastering TC code or their chart interface would not be high on
my list when I have AB.
Peace and Justice ---
Patrick

Thank
you Patrick..... still a 24hr+ newbie at this TC stuff.... great
hint.
This is were they get you... free for 6 months, and after
the learning curve you are hooked! I think Bill G had the right
idea when he gave away v1.0 at PC clubs (via lottery), saved paying
a salesman <g>.
Again thank you for the hint.
