[MAS-discuss] Problem on windows 2000 (fix confirmed)

[Chris B. <chr...@jm...>]

Just thought you'd like to know that this fix worked for me:

https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=454914

Once I replaced the file, it appears to be running fine.

[MAS-discuss] Re: [mas-test] trouble viewing chart w mas-gui-alpha-0.2]

[Pedro P. <ped...@ho...>]

Hi David,

When you select a tradable you have to press enter on it, once you do
that it will load with that tradable. I understand this is probably not
very intuitive and we will work to fix it in future versions. You can
then select the indicators from the indicator icon next to the
tradeables. The reason it gives you that null pointer is probably
because it is trying to redraw the tradable before it is loaded. Another
bug we'll have to fix so thank you for that :)

Let me know if it all works ok.

[MAS-discuss] Hello

[JB <jb...@bw...>]

Hello, I've just installed MAS on windows 2000 and it worked like a 
charm. The interface needs a little work (imo) but testing went well.

I plan to use the software to chart futures and have a server setup with 
daily data and rolling contracts. I will be testing and taking notes 
over the next few weeks. Anyone interesed in futures on the list?

[MAS-discuss] rt-charts?

[Heart <web...@h-...>]

Hi,

I found your chartsoftware for linux and have a questions about it:

- is it possible to fill the data in realtime? e.g. with TWS from IB
(Interactive
Brokers)?

Or is there any other alternative to get realtime charts for emini futures
(CME/Globex) like ES, NQ, ER2?

Thanks a lot. I'd really want to see a realtime-chartsoftware which runs
under linux!

Heart

Oops!

I was cleaning out my mail directory and responding to some old emails
and accidentally hit 'R' instead of 'r' and didn't notice until it was
too late that I was also sending this to mas-discuss.

Please disregard this and the previous email and sorry for the noise.

Hi Manjunath.

Did you ever get MAS working for you on XP?  If not and you're still
interested in trying I think you'll find that installing Service Pack
2 for XP will allow you to install and run MAS successfully.

I'm interested to hear back from you even if it's just to say: "Nope - I'm
no longer interested in using MAS."

Thanks!

[MAS-discuss] MAS on TiVo?

[Jim C. <jt...@di...>]

I just saw this announcement today:

http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/01-31-2005/0002939107&EDATE=

and it got me thinking about how MAS might fit well into a home
entertainment system.  I can imagine, for example, a person watching a
movie and, taking advantage TiVo's ability to record a movie in progress
for delayed viewing, taking a break, checking out the stocks on his watch
list, and, if he sees the opportunity, making some trades, then going back
to enjoy his movie.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how MAS would fit into a setup like
this - Would people find it useful to be able to view their charts and do
analysis using their TV set instead of or in addition to their computer?
Can you envision yourself doing this someday?  Can you think of advantages
and/or disadvantages to having this functionality available?  Etc.


Thanks.
Jim

I (the author of MAS) think this would be a useful feature.  What do others
on this list think - Is it useful enough to be added to the official
version of MAS?

[MAS-discuss] MAS GUI Client source code changes

[David H. <pu...@da...>]

I've recently added "bookmark" functionality to the client based upon
the 1.6.5 version (GUI1) of the code downloaded from sourceforge. This
enables one to "bookmark" commonly used charts and pull them back up at
a later time. If this is potential value to anyone other than me I would
like to share my effort. Let me know if there is interest.

[MAS-discuss] Looking for Cedrick, Stephen, and Paul

[Jim C. <jt...@di...>]

All -

Sorry for the interruption, but I've not been able to contact 
Cedrick Johnson, Stephen Osborn, or Paul Tazzyman (all of whom, I believe,
are or used to be subscribers to this list).  My email to Cedrick bounced
with a fatal error.

If any of you guys get this email, I'd appreciate it if you could get in
touch with me, even if it's to let me know you're no longer interested in
what we were working on before.  And if anyone else knows any of these
fellows or how to get in contact with them, I'd appreciate it if you would
contact me or let them know I'm trying to reach them.


Thanks.

[Jim C. <jt...@di...>]

All -

I'd like to invite those of you who are interested in trying out
cutting-edge versions of mas (not released at sourceforge).  You'll have
access to newly added features, and in return we would like some feedback
to help us determine what other features are needed, how existing features
could be improved, etc.

If you're interested, please send me an email - jt...@di... and we can
discuss the details.


Thanks.

RE: [MAS-discuss] Request for feedback re. 1.6.6q on XP with SP2

I had problems with 1.6.6q on XP Professional but upgraded to XP Pro with
SP2 and it cured it fine.

I'm having some issues with web connection but the server and client

[MAS-discuss] Request for feedback re. 1.6.6q on XP with SP2

[Jim C. <jt...@di...>]

To all Windows XP users on the list -

I don't know how many of you use XP, but since Windows is so popular, I
would guess that out of the 50 or so people who subscribe to this list, at
least 5 (and I'd bet it's more likely at least 10) of you use XP.  Of
those, I would guess that from 2 to 7 people have tried MAS 1.6.6q on your
XP machine.

So I'd like to request of those 2 to 7 people that you let me know the
following:

Whether you've tried running 1.6.6q with Service Pack 2 installed and
whether MAS ran successfully for you.  If you don't have SP2 - whether
you've gotten 1.6.6q to run successfully.  And if you do install SP2 in the
future, I'd appreciate it if you would let me know if 1.6.6q runs
successfully after installing SP2.  You can either send your response to
this list or to me at the return address of this email.  (Sending to this
list is preferred, since other XP users on the list will likely appreciate 
having this information.)

The reason I'm making this request is that although I'm pretty sure
that SP2 fixes the "access denied" problem that 99% of XP users appear
to get with 1.6.6q on XP, I've only heard from two or three people that
SP2 solves the problem.  (I've not heard from anyone that SP2 does not
solve the problem.)  I'd like to get some more data on this so that
I can more confidently state to future users that SP2 will solve the
problem (or not, if it doesn't).  [In other words, if you respond,
you are helping future XP users. :-)]


Thanks very much!

[MAS-discuss] mas linux yahoo post process ?

[Tim C. <ti...@fi...>]

Following last query, I am woindering how the yahoo post process works.

Is it compiled in?  Is it a script?  I can retrieve data from a manual browser 
query, but it doesn't seem to "arrive" in MAS.  I see that mas_httprc has a 
post-process, but I am not sure where this resides.

Many thanks for any advice

[MAS-discuss] Re: Setting Date for Analysis - Vol 1 #98 - 1 msg

[Paul T. <pta...@ya...>]

Anthony,

The start date is the date from which mas starts to do its analysis ie.
from start date to last or current date.

What to set it to depends on what you are doing:-

when backtesting set it as long as possible,
when doing a daily analysis I set it to the date prior to the longest
MA or other multi-day indicator I use. I think this may not really be
necessary and it could be set to 1 day - so long as you have the data
to support your indicators. Maybe when I stop making money I'll try it
;-)

Note that it can also be set to a number of days instead of an absolute
date - this helps if you start mas from a command file ( -f option )

Regards,
Paul

[MAS-discuss] new user query

I have a question regarding MAS and its usage which I hope someone can

[MAS-discuss] Where are the GUI class files? (Re: missing files)

[Jim C. <jt...@di...>]

I'm pretty busy lately, so this will not be a detailed response, but
I believe you've missed the fact that there is now a jar file (called
mascharts.jar if I remember correctly) in which all the java class files
reside.  You'll need to make the appropriate adjustments (e.g., modifying
script files) to accomodate that.  For example,

java -cp ./mascharts.jar ....

run in the directory where mascharts.jar lives should start the gui.

I've responded re. this issue one or two times before.  Hopefully one of
those responses was posted to the mas-discuss list.  Try a search on the sf
lists page to see if you can find it - I probably included a little more
detail there.

(BTW, "jar vft mascharts.jar" will list the contents of mascharts.jar)

[I can provide paid support if you need further help with this; but you
might try asking here again first in case someone else is able to help;
And for java-related questions, comp.lang.java.help is probably a good
place to start.]

Good luck!

Jim

I think I need some clarification here.  When you say: "all the MA
indicators work on weekly values.", are you referring to this in the
context of market analyzers - trading signal generation, or do you
simply mean technical indicators by themselves?  (All TA indicators can
be applied to daily, weekly, hourly, or any time-period type, so I'm
guessing you are referring to the former.)

And when you say:

"it would be handy to have the data typs ( daily, weekly ) and length
selectable as with most ( many ) of the other operators.", I'm finding
it hard to interpret this due to lack of context.  Can you elaborate in
more detail what you want to do and/or give a concrete example illustrating
the problem?  (An example would be particularly illuminating.)


Thanks.

Jim

[MAS-discuss] Re: Eiffel-mas-discuss digest, Vol 1 #95 - 1 msg

[Paul T. <pta...@ya...>]

Jim,

I don't really need the new operators yet - but it is good to see that
the range of functions is getting better.

I do notice that currently, all the MA indicators work on weekly
values. I currently use some short term MA  analysis based on 50, 15
and 5 day MAs - I currently do this analysis outside mas but it would
be handy to have the data typs ( daily, weekly ) and length selectable
as with most ( many ) of the other operators.

Regards,
Paul Tazzyman.
