One size doesn't quite fit all so I have added a routine which sets a Population Multiplier in our Genetic Algorithm according to CPU speed. Of course, CPUs nowadays are multi-core, but since it is not clear how TradeStation utilizes processing power, it was decided to keep this simple.
if ( nCPUSpeed > 3000 ) nPopMult = 12;
else if ( nCPUSpeed > 2000 ) nPopMult = 9;
else if ( nCPUSpeed > 1500 ) nPopMult = 6;
else nPopMult = 3;
In other words, if the CPU is over 3GHz (3000) it will look 4 times deeper than an old or low entry processor running under 1.5GHz.
No other functionalities added in this release, except for Swing2 which calculates Fib automatically (hence eliminating synch issues). The RetrievePivotInfo indicator is left for tutorial purposes.
DLL version is 1.21 (Dec 10th 2008)

Technical description of my TradeStation Trading Toolset (voisin DOT bruno AT gmail DOT com)
Welcome!
Welcome to TS-Trading-Technique,
where technical details will be published for my TradeStation trading toolset, developed over the years (well... been using TradeStation since 1993...). It is not quite an end product, not quite work in progress either. It does work, and this technique is both the completion of Phase 1 (working toolset and API), and opens the door to both developments of advanced A.I. tools outside TS (which I may eventually release as well as "Phase 2"), and the development of more advanced indicators within TradeStation. Note that since most of the complex calculations are done in the DLL, none of the indicators are protected, allowing the user to further develop indicators in EasyLanguage.
A common question is: Why don't you just write a documentation!? Well, maybe i'm lazy, maybe I think it is a waste of time since nobody ever reads docs, and maybe I believe this bit by bit teaching and coaching is the best way for you to absorb, digest, and finally make this technique your own...
This ''blog" complements the MarketSnapshot public blog, which will be now dedicated to daily/weekly screenshots and market comments. Another private blog exists, and specific chart analysis can be arranged: voisin.bruno AT gmail.com or with Skype (leave a message on "foretrade")
