Yes, I suppose that for a technically inclined user like yourself, such a feature may not be necessary, since you can figure things out for yourself and write your own scripts to drive mas to do what you want. For a less technical user, however, I suspect that having such power available in a relatively-easy-to-use UI would be very useful. Jim |

It takes a while to get a hang of it, but once you do, it's extremely powerful. I grabbed an old Windows VM with cygwin(also used the a version a bash that came with a old version of the mks toolkit) and the result is the same when running the mas server through it. I still get the mangled indicator names that look like they contain a CR(\x0d). I will be mailing you a copy of the indicator file that I used in this build. However, I think it is correct and the issue happens when the indicator is being added to the server. I'll take a better look at what happens then. > > I also have a question about LINEAR SUM.

In terms of Linear Sum, it looks like I'm using it incorrectly. However, I've taken a very quick look at the debug data and something confuses me. I'll post more information when I get a chance. Also, when the server dumps core, the server does not crash and will let you try again. Thanks for your help, Ryan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I noticed that you once > said a similar thing about a list of overbought/oversold. You guessed it - The maintaining of these lists takes place outside of mas proper. I have a cron job set up on my Linux system to first grab the latest EOD data and insert it into the database; then mas is run with this up-to-date data. (The following is somewhat inaccurate, but close to reality, for the purpose of brevity.) A series of analyses is run with the mas server, which is configurable and is currently configured as follows: A long-term trend analysis is run with criteria to send "buy" (uptrend) or "sell" (downtrend) signals based on weekly data to the "mailer" program (which in this case is a script that parses the signals and updates a downtrend, uptrend, and sidelined list accordingly). Then a short-term trend analysis is run on the tradables in the downtrend list, looking for good short-sell signals; then a short-term analysis is run on the uptrend list looking for buy signals. These short-term signals are sent by actual mail (e.g., the mailer is elm) to the user for him to look over and decide if each signal is worth acting on. The sidelined list is ignored because (with the system I was using when I was actually trading) I considered non-trending stocks as more difficult to trade and thus not worth the risk. I have considered moving this functionality into mas proper, but it would be a good chunk of work. Do you think you (or others listening in) would be interested in such a feature? Jim |

Thanks for the report. It's still a bug (espcecially since it core dumps), but I guess the cause is because of the space in the "Program Files" directory name, rather than the symbol not being in yahoo's database. I believe the bug happens because the DOS shell is used to start the different mas components and the shell can't handle names with spaces.

It sounds like you've taken into account the issue in the FAQ about needing to edit the .ma_clientrc file when you create a new indicator (just in case, the Q/A is at: http://eiffel-mas.sourceforge.net/support/FAQ.html#charting%20GUI under: "I tried adding a new indicator to MAS.") So the problem is most likely caused by something else - I suspect it is the UNIX vs. DOS text format (specifically end-ofline sequence) issue, or another formatting issue such as using spaces to separate fields instead of a tab. So first I'd suggest checking the format of the lines you've added against the syntax described in the first line of the file ( # Format: 'keyword<tab>f1<tab>f2...'), making sure 1 tab is used to separate each field; then check the actual characters used to end the lines you added and make sure they're the same as the original version of the file. (If you're not sure how to do that, just attach the file in an email to me and I'll check for you.) Make any needed adjustments and hopefully this will fix the problem. If it doesn't, please post a followup (though a followup saying it worked would also be helpful if that's the case). (By the way, this whole procedure points out an obvious interface/usability issue which I hope to solve in a future release.)

I believe I've used a DOS window before to create indicators and have not run into this problem (though I may be wrong - I may have just used cygwin bash), so I'm not sure how it would occur. (Have any other windows users encountered this problem? Have you found a fix?)

Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to answer all your questions on this issue, but I can say that the core dump is very likely caused by one of your functions or operators (likely LINEAR_SUM) being configured to try to access data beyond the available boundaries (i.e., before the first record or after the last record). I know it's difficult to figure out what's going on here, but you might try experimenting with different offsets or whatever and see if you can get rid of the core dump. Also, I've added a -debug option to mas that I believe is in the 1.6.6g version (not 1.6.5) that could be very helpful to you for figuring out what's going on. The output will be quite verbose, I'm afriad, but if you can figure out what it is saying, you can probably get some clues as to what is going wrong - unless it core dumps before it gets a chance to output anything, which would be unfortunate. Please keep us informed of what you find. I may have some time later to help more on this, but for any other mas users reading this who think they may be able to help - feel free to contribute. A developer-oriented question: Did the core dump cause the server to terminate? (If so, that's something that needs to be fixed - mas should recover and let you try again.)

> Hi everybody, > > Perhaps a newbie question : is it possible to use MAS with -w option behind a proxy? Do you mean a web server proxy? Since with -w mas does http queries, I would guess that if accessing a site via the proxy with your browser works, then it should work with mas; but I don't have personal experience with this to say for sure. Has anyone else tried this? I wouldn't call it a newbie question particularly, but it's a good one for the FAQ, once we have a definitive answer. Jim |

Thank you for your rapid answer. But I have found why my symbols don't work : in fact, after having installed MAS, I couldn't even delete one line of the symbol file without crashing the server (I have already provided the Seg Fault message). The explication is that I installed MAS in the "Program Files" directory, and this seems to be a problem it : I finally installed MAS in its default directory "Applications" and everything was OK. I don't know if this is documented in the FAQ. In any case, thank you for all!

Hi everyone, Just started using MAS a couple weeks ago and I think it's excellent. However, in that time there are a couple things I have noticed that I would like help on. First, I've noticed that there is an issue with the addition of new indicators and the ability to graph them in 1.6.6g for Windows(Other versions of 1.6.6g are seemingly unaffected. I must admit that I did not test 1.6.5, so it might exist there as well). If I create a new indicator for 1.6.6g under Windows, I am unable to graph them. Using the CLI, I can see that the indicator is added successfully and outputs the correct data, but I am unable to graph it. I have double-checked that the format of the .ma_client.rc is correct. I can add an indicator that originally came with MAS 1.6.6g and graph it with no problems. It is possible that the server is chomping the Indicator Name and no longer corresponds to the name originally given. An easy way to test this is to create an indicator and give it any name. Now, create another indicator as a One_Variable_Function and attempt to use the indicator you originally created as it's input function. I've noticed that the indicator name for the indicator you originally created is correct in the list of Indicators to add, but when you select it, the indicator name gets chomped. This does not happen to indicators that came with MAS. As an example of the above if it is too confusing: I am attempting to add an indicator called Testing. It takes input from an indicator I created called Bollinger Squeeze Percentage. (Note: Also notice that the indicator Testing seems to have a line feed at the end of the indicator name) ------------------------------------------------- Choose a name for root function that does not match any of the above names: Testing 's (ONE_VARIABLE_FUNCTION) input function 1) Simple Moving Average . . . 36) Parabolic SAR 37) Bollinger Band Difference 38) Bollinger Squeeze Percentage 39) No Input Function 38 ? (y/n) ollinger Squeeze Percentage --------------------------------------------------- Same example, except using Parabolic SAR: --------------------------------------------------- 34) Upper Bollinger Band 35) Lower Bollinger Band 36) Parabolic SAR 37) Bollinger Band Difference 38) Bollinger Squeeze Percentage 39) No Input Function 36 Select Parabolic SAR? (y/n) --------------------------------------------------- Again, this seems to be Windows only. I also have a question about LINEAR SUM. I am having problems with this function. This problem exists in both 1.6.5 and 1.6.6g so it is likely something I'm doing wrong. I'm guessing that the function LINEAR SUM is a sum of a value over the last n-periods. So, let's assume that I want to find the total sum of volume over the last 10 periods. I have been doing the following: N-RECORD ONE VARIABLE FUNCTION (No Input Function) | | LINEAR SUM(Integer Value for n-value = 10) (No Input Function) | | VOLUME With a value of 10 for the n-value N-RECORD's ONE VARIABLE FUNCTION However, when I attempt to view the results for this indicator of a stock, MAS core dumps. I would appreciate any help anyone has on this. Is it something I'm doing incorrectly? Am I incorrect in assuming that LINEAR_SUM creates a sum of a value over the last n-periods? Is there another way to do what I want to do that I'm missing? The only other way I can think of at the moment to do the the above is creating an indicator with ten addition operations and with corresponding SETTABLE_OFFSET_COMMANDS. However, I'd rather not do something like this as it is very inefficent. :) Thanks for your help, CT __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

>I couldn't find that symbol axa.pa either. The server's behavior in this case is a bug, of course - If the server requests a tradable that yahoo does not know about, the server should be prepared to accept whatever error status message yahoo returns and report it and continue accepting requests from clients, rather than dumping core and exiting. I've entered this in the sf bug database at: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=844260&group_id=6838&atid=106838 Thanks for the report and comments pointing out the problem. Assuming that the problem is actually triggered by a request for a symbol that yahoo doesn't know about (which seems very likely from the description), I suppose the workaround is to not use symbols yahoo does not recognize and/or to find an alternative source of data (e.g., via email, ftp, network connection, etc.). It would be nice if we could find an alternative web site that, for example, has a complete database of European stocks, but so far it appears that no such site exists (although I have not done a thorough investigation into this possibiliy, so I could be wrong).

Hi, I don't know if this will help, but if you're running mas with the -w option it is getting quotes from yahoo, I did a quick check and didn't see any axa.pa on finance.yahoo.com quote search, there were some others like axafw.pa, and a lot more, so you probably want to look it up on yahoo.com to make sure the symbol you are searching for is displayed that way there.

I cannot understand how to "automatically update a list". Is it that you have a certain registrant that is interested only in "trend" events and you parse the email to maintain a list. I noticed that you once said a similar thing about a list of overbought/oversold. --David |

Of course, the best solution is to find a reliable data service and pay their monthly fees, but for your question about free data service, if an alternative exists, I think you'll have a better chance of finding out by posting in a list or news group with a much larger audience - for example, I think misc.invest.technical, misc.invest.stocks, and misc.invest.futures would be a good bet.

Howdy- I am trying to use MAS (latest version from SF), and it appears that Yahoo's data service is not working (doing a network sniff, I get 503 Service Unavailable, which then I see in the MAS server window as this: Error occurred initiating transfer: File not found Failed to open input file C:\Financial\mas\lib\cached_data\a.txt - file does not exist. Is there an alternate server to use besides yahoo to get EOD data to do my TA? thanks, cedrick |

Hi David, Pawel, Cedrick, Thanks to all of you for your feedback about whether or not to release the new gui for testing now or when it is more complete, I will follow your unanimous advice and wait till it is a lot better to release it. I've also been quite busy lately and might be so for a while so I'm not sure when it will be out but I will try to get it out asap. Thanks again, Pedro |

Hi to all of you on the list, Just wanted to let you all know that we are still working to get the new release of the gui out to all of you who tested the first one, it's taken a bit longer than I hoped since I've been quite busy at my job and have to go some places on business which have distracted me a bit from the development of the new release. I would like to know if you would prefer to see the new release while it's still missing some important "features" or if you prefer to wait for it to be a bit cleaner before you take a look at it? Best regards Pedro |

Hi Stephen - Sorry for the late response. I checked a few days ago and it looked like mas does discard the unused fields and uses the valid ones, so that no data is lost from the user's POV; but I did not check in detail, so I'd recommend you take a look and see if mas's reporting for the records for which the extra fields exist is correct - if the high, low, etc. are correct for each field. I think it should not be too hard to check this. If you do find an opportunity to make this check, I'm sure many people on this list will be interested in hearing the results.

Glad to know it is not just me. When mas says it is discarding the corrupted record, does it throw the entire line away, or does it use the fields it knows how to use and simply ignores the extra field?
