Robert/Eugene,

What are the chances of adding Andrews Pitchforks to the drawing tools?

Is there any way a user could code this tool?

Thanks

Wealth-Lab 5 has an API for such things like new drawing instruments. This is possible to implement as a new Chart Drawing Object, like Fibs, Gann etc. - to be placed right next to them. Once Fidelity finally makes the API docs available, skilled programmers who know how these pitchforks should be constructed can try coding them as native drawing tools.

Eugene,

I guess this means that there are no plans to add to the drawing tools.

Do you have any idea when Fidelity will release the API docs?

I know of no plans to add these interactive discretionary tools.

Sorry, no idea on the API docs, as well as what's stopping them from being released even though it looked like they were confirmed to be released in sycn with WL 5.6.

We've been asking for the API docs for over a year (since August 2008 if I remember correctly). I'm reminded of a salesman I previously worked with who literally avoided calling back potential clients. Needless to say he didn't last too long. Why would Fidelity build an API, document it, remove the documentation and refuse to provide it again despite noting in the WL 5.6 documentation that they are providing it. Sounds like too many decisions at Fidelity are made by a committee.

I'll upload a demo of the PosSizer pack (customers only; support ticket) with "Random PosSizer" shortly. Hope that helps a bit to illustrate the PosSizer API.

One of the items on my wish-list is to be able to assign different commission values to different symbols, like the old Commission scripts...

You can do that if you write a Commission class that does that.

In fact, in the latest Community.Commissions, we added a configurable commission structure based on IB "Bundled Commissions". For stocks, you can specify the minimum commission, the per share amount, and the max commission based on the percentage of the trade value. Also, you can specify the per-share commission for a futures contract.

Just dropped in to tell that we're still waiting for the API docs, so I'd expect the Commission API be documented there as well.

And meanwhile you can start some nice .NET tool to analyze Community.Commissions, it's not obfuscated ;)
