Hey folks,

Randon:

I'm happy that you're happy!!!

As far as exporting data from the platforms to Excel (well to a text file that is readable by Excel anyway) I cannot speak for Oanda but both Deltastock's platform and MT4 have the facility (GCI allows you to export DIRECTLY to an Excel Workbook). Just remember (with the exception of GCI) that what you're ACTUALLY doing is exporting the data from the platforms to a TEXT file FIRST and then from WITHIN EXCEL you import the TEXT file.

As far as your comments on money management: I can tell you that it's probably THE MOST important lesson that I have learned (the hard way).

The reason for there being 80 days or so worth of data is purely because when (if) I export my data to use it with Excel I always export from 02/01/2008 to date i.e. from the beginning of the year. The minimum that you require to start with and get a meaningful 'ASI plot' is 7 I would say and then just keep adding from there.

Charts with SI System entry and exit points: I don't see the reason for posting those charts here i.e. if you have the book then those entry and exit points should be obvious???

Boca:

Quite correct: what more can I say!!!

Looking to go long: MF TODAY must be higher than EITHER MF's for the two previous days.

Looking to go short: MF TODAY must be lower than BOTH MF's for the two previous days.

Delta problem: as I (think) I already told you they reckon that the Microsoft .NET Framework and all its updates are not installed correctly. This you need to do yourself using Windows Update (as discussed yesterday) ensuring that ALL the latest versions and updates are installed i.e. not just the Windows 'Express' Updates but all the Windows 'Custom' Updates as well.
