Funnily enough, John, the prospect of waking up in the morning to a train crash is my biggest concern. But then I think "Hey, isn't that what the stops are for?"

Besides, I wouldn't walk away completely. I'd still look in frequently to check that it was working. I can also envisage that a major hardware upgrade would be on the cards.

All of this may be jumping the gun though. Firstly, I've read that coding projects have a habit of over-running by a factor of between 2 and 5. Secondly, even if the coder delivers, I'm still not 100% sure that my system is flawless and profitable.

It may all turn out to be a major embarassment!

joh/hils...there is free software out there that will monitor your automated systems for instance i have a monitor running from another location (my mates house!) that pings my autmated set up constantly...if for whatever reason the internet connection dies it will text me straight away or you can even set ip up to call your land line.

also if my broker looses connection from routing software or chart packag looses its feed I am instantly notified and if I am not in the house you can connect via XDA

i have been doing this stuff for a long time and it is no longer difficult or expensive

there is no need in this day and age to be sat at a screen.

if you need info on any of it let me know, as i say it is all FOC

hilary - 09 Jul 2008 15:51 - 9930 of 11056

That set up sounds terrific, Treble. I did a quick bit of Googling, but nothing immediately stood out.

Does your software have a name per chance?

Treblewide - 09 Jul 2008 16:26 - 9931 of 11056

hils.....will drop you a note later...heading out to the gym right now...if you get nowt by tomorrow MAM mail me as i have shit for brains

Treblewide - 09 Jul 2008 16:36 - 9932 of 11056

very quickly

have a look at above...you need to sign up for a text alert account (there are loads) and you need to embed a line of code into the source of the utility above that will be supplied.

email me and i will send more detailed repsonse later.

peace

hilary - 10 Jul 2008 08:11 - 9933 of 11056

Thanks for that, Treble. I can now see how that would be a starting point and it's certainly sown some seeds.

I'll be in touch again if and when I can get this up and running.

FX thread is OK for me.

Falcothou - 15 Jul 2008 09:25 - 9935 of 11056

Dollar appears to be in freefall

jeffmack - 15 Jul 2008 09:36 - 9936 of 11056

Hadnt been paying attention the last couple of days but you are right. Did you catch any of it.

goforit - 15 Jul 2008 10:08 - 9937 of 11056

yesireeeeeeeeeee. back to uk tomorrow, so good morning to finish my trading week!

Falcothou - 15 Jul 2008 10:14 - 9938 of 11056

Just made a few on the retracement, and there was moneyweek predicting a crash in sterling this week! May be next...

We are just about start writing to a new GTIS feed which will have streaming spot, forward and outright forward rates for the following pairs. We will stream all of them on one page, what other tools would be useful as we now have the data? Sensible suggestions please Delboy and Daisy!


AUDUSD
EURCHF
EURDKK
EURGBP
EURJPY
EURNOK
EURSEK
EURUSD
GBPUSD
NZDUSD
USDCAD
USDCHF
USDDKK
USDHKD
USDJPY
USDNOK
USDSEK
USDSGD
USDZAR

hilary - 15 Jul 2008 11:09 - 9940 of 11056

As you've got a SEK feed, Doris, the Dollar Index (USDX) would be useful imo.

USDX = 50.14348112 EURUSD^(-0.576) USDJPY^(0.136) GBPUSD^(-0.119) USDCAD^(0.091) USDSEK^(0.042) USDCHF^(0.036)

Daisy: Ruddy heck, i failed O'levels maths but got O'level woodwork so you lost me at the first = sign :-). I'm sure someone here went to Uni and did maths.

goforit - 15 Jul 2008 11:35 - 9942 of 11056

possible to have gbp/jpy.........can be a luverly mover.........!

Bullshare - 15 Jul 2008 12:19 - 9943 of 11056

goforit. These are the ones in our current feed, I'll look at the pair for you

jeffmack - 15 Jul 2008 13:55 - 9944 of 11056

bought some USD/CHF at 1.0036

MightyMicro - 15 Jul 2008 22:44 - 9945 of 11056

Bullie/Doris/Mike: I'll give you a call. (I feel strangely uncomfortable with that Doris moniker . . . )

chocolat - 15 Jul 2008 23:05 - 9946 of 11056

My mother nearly called me that :S

And before you say anything - she wasn't English.
Well that's the only excuse I can come up with ;)

MightyMicro - 15 Jul 2008 23:31 - 9947 of 11056

Oh, 'ello, Choccie. Don't get me wrong, it's alright on a girl. But Mike? As for Daisy, we used to have a Guinea pig called that . . .
