Update to the MTU/VOC deal.
MTU has been in consolidation and pushing a little higher, while the discount continues to blow out and is now back to the 6%+ level..

Another update:

Well the discount to the deal has evaporated since mid-Jan. Any traders keeping an eye on the chart could have traded the ratio once it "broke-out" to a <3.5% discount.
Note: data switched to 30min from 15min for this update.

Interesting once we know how this finished up to revisit the anxiety raised by the market providing an outsized return at one stage. Possible there was something brewing that never came to light. maybe the market just had it wrong for a while.
 

The market is full of mysteries... I would really have like to know if there was a real reason behind it.
 
I am sure other PTF users have been recieving emails from the new owners.

It is fantastic that they have chosen to honor our lifetime licenses and perhaps even better news is that they are taking feedback for an upcoming reinvestment into improvements for the program.

Over on another misplaced thread, an ASF user suggested IQfeed would be available sometime this year. Live prices for our pairs would be a massive step up and something I would certainly pay the data fee for.
Interestingly, I can imagine that it will reduce the profitability of the theoretical system - as quite often I find that the backtests/trades on the signal page are riddled with trades that were advantageously taken due to the staggered open.

As a side note, I downloaded the book that they offered to us for free via email...however I never found out how to access it! Not sure if it was just me being drained after a long day, or if there was some little trick that I missed after the checkout proces :dunno:

P.S Just closed my first trade since reporting season :dance:
 
Re: PTF, IQFEED

I am Freddy, just found this thread courtesy of old thread. I have been in touch with new owners - they respond within 24 hours. My problem is not being able to get the "Alerts" working; CSV or Email. PTF has agreed with me that the Email part fails due to their software not issuing an SSL security parameter. They are attending to this with a new release soon. If you want to get in touch use this email address: support@pairtradefinder.com. They do not sign their emails with a person's name.

Is anyone else having my problem? I use Windows 7 Professional SP1 and Thunderbird email through Bigpond.

Have just completed a sequence of test trades from 2 Dec 2015 through the reporting season to 7 Mar 2016.

IQFEED has informed me that they hope to have a service for the ASX running before June 2016. That would provide us with more timely pricing.
 
As per the email today, looks like we have a "PRO" version on the way.
I'll certainly be interested to see if it's worth the money...

I am not sure I like the latest promotional email... buy an old version of the PTF for $99 so you can get 30% discount on the new PRO version.

Given that the PRO version hasn't actually been released, it doesn't seem like that good a deal!? If I already have PTF installed, why would I buy another copy? If I haven't got PTF installed, why would I buy a soon-to-be-outdated version now?

I think the PRO version sounds promising... but I'd like test it after the release rather than pre-purchase some discount.
 
Exactly my thoughts after reading the repeat email I just received. It doesn't take long to notice that the over-the-top marketing is influenced by the previous owner which occasionally sent some crazy marketing schemes through...lol.

Your reasoning is spot on, it's pretty clear that all they are offering is the ability to "buy" a discount coupon for the new version.
I guess only a bunch of financial types could come up with such a scheme - perhaps what they have failed to realise is that we are cut from the same cloth!

FWIW, I had a look at the website and even went to the order page for the license offer... if you can beleive it theres a check box that must be ticked that asks if you want ANOTHER two licenses for an extra $49
 

Every f**ng public holiday and Yahoo data goes crazy.
Heres hoping the PRO version gives us a live data option...!

I guess this gives me a chance to upgrade to the latest version. I am running v3.22 and one of the spammy emails received from PTF said the latest is v3.25.

Have you tried refreshing the pair?
It may revert to EOD data (remove not the intraday signals) but at least you keep your pairs (if it works)
Click to expand...

That's the way to re-set it. I have been doing that after every public holiday for the last N years...
 
Here is an official reply from PTF re this problem.

"I would suggest you to refresh pairs. This should solve the problem.
Also we are working on getting aboard different and better data vendors that would remove this issue under product PTF Pro.
For the time being and if you are on Yahoo feeds, refreshing pairs is the way to fix the problem.

Regards,
PTF Support"

It looks like they are actually working on a new release.
 
Have you guys been checking the update times of each pair int PTF's Home page? There is something very bad going on.

For instance SRX In Trade shows 10:30am and $29.14 but SRX Watching has $29.00 at 2:31pm

It is now 3:27pm.

I hope an upgrade is coming soon.
 
More problems. I have SRX/VRT that shows as a selected pair for trading but stops prematurely when viewing the Pair Charts - see attachment. This pair appears as "Watching" on the Home" page.

Any experience with this anomaly?

I have other pairs showing the same thing Even a Refresh does not fix it.
 

It is showing 2 rows of prices for 21/3/2016 which it shouldn't.
Try delete, close PTF, re-start and add the pair again.
 
CMW buying just under 10% of IOF as the shareholder vote was scheduled for this Friday. That combined with Morgan Stanley being allowed to vote their 8.9% stake has vastly diminished the chances of the 75% needed for approval.
Will be interesting to see what CMW intentions are. As a group they are smaller than IOF by market cap, although they do have access to some big money via their South African 25% owner.

I haven't been trading this pair, but noted that the discount to the offer did expand a little today (2.22%) as DXS went up on the news, while IOF lagged a bit - despite being much more wild.
