Sitting straight 'bad for backs'

When they looked at all test results, the researchers said the 135-degree position was the best for backs, and say this is how people should sit.

I thought this was interesting for anyone who sits at a desk all day. And for all our Grandmothers who tell us to sit up straight :-)

Fixed Or Added In v0.8.7

• Changing a trade's status from Closed back to Open, click Save, none of the closing details (price, date, etc) are removed.
• Fixed this: "There was an error while attempting to send an Alert: Could not find the details for System with ID: ."
• Fixed this: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when trying to send a trading alert.
• Update licence to include SMS.

Fixed Or Added In v0.8.6

• Add Direction field on Alerts - Long or Short - so can use all rules (some rules, such as some of the Candlestick patterns, need a direction).
• More activity when auto-trading, including the last date used for calculations.
• As well as an email and a message on the screen, alerts can now also play a sound and/or send SMS messages.
• Can send alerts via SMS. Some countries/networks allow free SMS, while others require Clickatell account and the purchase of (fairly cheap) SMS credits.
• Can periodically send "Everything's Fine" SMS.
• Upgraded Npgsql dll to v1.0 (that's the thing which lets a .NET app connect to PostgreSQL). Was previously using RC3.
• Upgraded to latest Oanda API:
  fxClient-VB-VS2003-2006-11-1.zip
• Now handles Oanda transactions with description 'Funds Withdrawn'
• Stop showing "duplicate key violates unique constraint" error during Oanda price data downloads.
• Code was preventing subscribed users from using Alerts, and allowing non-subscribed users.
• MACD calculations now using Exponential Moving Averages instead of Simple Moving Averages, to bring it in line with Oanda charts.
• Added link to Knowledge Base from Help menu.
• Fixed up the other links under the Help menu that were still pointing to old pages.

Came across the title of a book today called "A Mechanical Trading System..."

Cool!

"...Using Simplified Elliot Wave Analysis"

DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!

Elliot Wave Analysis is hardly mechanical. Or maybe I'm just judgemental.

Here's my test for mechanical-ness:

#1. Will the today me, in this mood, think that a rule is met, and will the tomorrow me, in another mood, agree that the same rule is met?

#2. Will I think that a rule is met, and every other person in the world agree that the same rule is met?

I say "Bah!" to Elliot Waves fitting either of those 2 rules.

Fixed Or Added In v0.8.5

• Fixed a "object reference not set to an instance" error that prevented auto-trading.

Fixed Or Added In v0.8.4

• "[OHLC] Of Last X Bars Clear of Entry" rule has a quirk. The Close of the current bar is checked to ensure it is above the entry price. If not this rule will return false, regardless of what the user set as the [OHLC].
• Now handles more types of Oanda transactions - Funds Added, Fund Withdrawal, Fund Desosit (sic), Fund Deposit (in case they fix the spelling), Change Margin, P & L Reset.
• When saving price data to a text file, include the currency. Also change the date format to yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mm:ss
• Have File Loader window handle Oanda tick data file formats.
• Have File Loader window handle file format that TS itself outputs.
