9/5/2007 Dynamite Sentimentor V5.3.20
OneClick Recording and PlayBack

The most effective way for a trader to train a new trading technique or a new market is by way of having live data of this market in conjunction with a PaperTrading feature. However, it can get extremely time consuming to really get confident with the various characteristics of a market – simply because they will probably enfold over multiple trading days, if not weeks.

Also, in a training environment such as seminars it is extremely helpful to have real data at hand representing special market conditions such as mini crashes, reactions to announcements of economic data etc.

The OneClick Recording and Playback feature of DySen addresses these needs. It allows to easily convert price data into a Recording that can be used as a Playback thereby giving the trader the live experience of receiving the data.

At a glance OneClick Recording and Playback provides the following functionalities:

  • Convert a zoom in a MasterChart into a Recording with the click of a button
  • Convert the last trading session of a tradable security into a Recording. This allows to train on that data without having seen the chart before.
  • Use Live Recording for capturing the trades and the orderbook.

The Playback allows you to receive the data in realtime or in any acceleration you choose. It also allows to Pause or move forward stepwise for a most detailed examination of the market.

6/12/2007 Dynamite Sentimentor V5.3.0.6  released 

Supports historcial data from Interactive Brokers for charting and analysis.
Please read the hints in the DySen DirectTrade manual.

 

5/22/2007 Dynamite Sentimentor V5.3  released 

Fipertec pioneers the industry with providing the first platform supporting Mulitple Stops and Profit Targets in a completely graphical and intuitive environment.

Most often a trader uses Multiple Stops and Profit Targets to lock in an intermediate profit without closing the complete position, e.g., when the intended price level is reached but the trade continues to move in the right direction. Once having secured an initial profit that ideally also covers the overall commissions of a trade, the remainder of the trade is a kind of “free lunch”, assuming that the stops are adjusted properly.

DySen  provides you the following functionalities:

  • define as many Profit Targets and Stops as desired
  • assign the volume carried by each target/stop individually
  • rely on the built-in targets and stops, use manually drawn lines as stops, or program your own using DySen-Express
  • DySen takes care of the management of all targets and stops by placing, amending, or canceling the corresponding orders as needed
  • Let your study amend the price levels of the targets and stops automatically or use Click Stops to adjust them directly in the chart
  • DySen displays all information of the Profit Targets and Stops directly in the MasterChart and indicates the trajectory of the tightest target/stop in each period.
  • switch to “tightest price” mode for using just one stop or target reflecting the tightest stop or target price
  • DySen takes care of overfills

Click here to read a detailed description for using Multiple Stops and Profit Targets.

In addition the MasterChart displays two new numbers: "Risk" and "Target". They display the result if all Stops or all ProfitTargets were triggered at their respecitve current prices. Note that the display is updated when dragging a ClickStop. This allows for most easy adjustments.

2/22/2006 Dynamite Sentimentor V5.2  released - Cascading Studies

Cascading Studies is a powerful new DySen module that brings true intermarket analysis combined with multiple time frame analysis to the trader’s desk. With the click of a mouse embed an existing study for, say, the Dax-Future, into a study for, say, the Eurostox-Future. Now the outcome of the Eurostox analysis is taken into account for trading the Dax.

DySen allows unlimited flexibility when combining studies:

  • Embed as many studies as you want into one (container)-study.
  • The embedded studies can use any aggregation. So for example a longer-term trend study can be used as a filter for a short term swing strategy. Even non time-based aggregations like Renko or Point & Figure can be applied.
  • An embedded study may contain embedded studies itself which allows for a complete hierarchy of cascading embedded studies.
  • The complete range of backtesting and optimization tools is available for cascading studies. So taking the example from above, an optimization of the Dax study can also optimize the embedded Eurostox study.
  • An embedded study behaves just like a “normal” sentimentor, so it can also be used as a Stop or as a Filter.

Among the possible applications of the Cascading Studies module are the following:

  • Quite often a given symbol A follows in its direction another symbol B. So by trading A as soon as B emits a signal gives the trader the opportunity to trade as early as possible, even before A itself generates a technical signal.
  • A study can embed other studies based on the same symbol but applying a different time frame. This Multiple Time Frame analysis allows to trade if there is the same signal in, say, the daily-based study, the hourly-based study, and the 1-minute study.
  • Compute your own external sentiments and embed them into a DySen study using DDE.
  • Embed a number of studies for shares for trading a corresponding index future.

The following screenshot shows an example where the outcome of a FDAX study is used for trading the FESX:

The next screenshot shows an example for embedding price charts:

12/17/2004 Dynamite Sentimentor V5.1.2  available
  • The new ChartTrader is a grid similar to the SpeedTrader that is displayed directly in the MasterChart.


    The ChartTrader requires a SpeedTrader to be activated in the given chart. The columns of the ChartTrader behave exactly like those of the SpeedTrader, i.e., left/right clicking in a cell creates the corresponding Limit/Market/Stop orders. 
    The ChartTrader is placed in the "extension place" of a chart. To extend that size, go to Extras|Options/Visualization and choose at least "15%". If the availbale place is too small, the ChartTrader is automatically hidden or not displayed to avoid unintended order placement.
    For a complete documentation see the updated DySen DirectTrade manual from the Help menu.

11/18/2002 DySen-DirectTrade

Fipertec is currently developing the new module "DySen-DirectTrade" allowing to convert signals of DySen studies directly into orders. The first supported trading platforms will be "Interactive Brokers", "Patsystems", "RealTick", and a specialized platform for Forex trading. Negotiations with more partners are on the way.
Using drag & drop a DySen study can be connected with a portfolio position - a signal generated by the study is then converted into an order and is directly routed to the exchange. Position sizes can be defined using money management rules.
A "PaperTrade" account allows newcomers to train under real market conditions.

DySen-DirectTrade also provides the new funcitonality "TradeGuard". After activating the TradeGuard, a study assigned to a position is getting active after the trader has opened a position. The TradeGuard will close the position automatically as soon as the exiting conditions described in the study are met. A study may contain the classical stops such as TrailingStop, ParabolicStop, KaseDevStop, ProfitTarget, etc. as well as any sentimentor, e.g., trend reversal or breaking of a manually drawn trendline.
Using the TradeGuard one of the most difficult tasks in trading - defining and executing exits - can be delegated to DySen. As soon as an exiting condition is met, DySen creates the correponding closing order and routes it to the exchange.

The binding to TWS of "Interactive Brokers" is scheduled for December.

    Sentimentors developed with DySen-Express can be used exactly as the built-in sentimentors.
  • The sentiment generation for most of the built-in sentimentors can be configured through dialogs.
  • The MetaSentiment can now be expressed using logical operations.

7/15/2002 DySen Express

A new module called "DySen Express" will be available in the very near future.
DySen Epress provides three levels of functionality that enable both beginners and
experienced trading system developers to express and realize their trading ideas:

Level 1 allows to specify the sentiments a Sentimentor should expose on certain "events", e.g., if the RSI enters its overbought zone. These specifications are entered in easy-to-use dialogs and require no programming knowledge at all.

Level 2 enhances the computation of the MetaSentimentor. Logical expressions referring to the sentimentors of the study can be defined, e.g.
(CCI > 60) and (CrossingMa = 100 or RSI=100) : 100;

Level 3 allows to program complete sentimentors using the language "Express". This language will have a functionality comparable to the well known EasyLanguage of Omega Research. Sentimentors developed with Express can be used exactly as the built-in sentimentors.

With DySen Express the Fipertec fulfills a great wish of its customers to configure and program sentimentors individually.
DySen Express is scheduled for August.
