Dakota R/T Released


We recently released BioComp Dakota R/T, the intraday version of Dakota.  A limited number of discounted "Early Adopter" Dakota R/T licenses are now available on a "first come, first served" basis and already more than 60% of them have been sold.  "Early Adopter" means you get in early at a reduced price as the product moves from beta to full release.  If you would like the intraday Dakota at an affordable early price, you might act today:  Order ›

Dakota End of Day Sponsor License Revived
The "Sponsor" license of Dakota end-of-day has returned to the price list due to numerous requests for product-lifetime upgrades.
 
 Hanging Out in Bars
No, I'm not talking about drinking on a Friday night, but "trading bars".  Dakota R/T sports 4 configurable bar types: Time (a given number of seconds, minutes, hours, days per bar), Tick (a given number of trades in the quote stream), Volume (N units of volume) and Range (a given number for High-Low per bar).  Each of these have their own advantages and in Dakota R/T, you can have different swarms with different bars for the same security, each giving you an alternative look at when to take or exit positions.  You can also convert historical bar files of one type to another, such as converting 1 minute bars to 30 minute, or convert tick stream history files to bars.  Dakota R/T smartly converts tick histories to bars without loading the ticks into RAM but steps through the history assembling bars of your type selection.  This allows you to build bars from 10's of millions of ticks!  You can then build swarms and go on-line via Medved's Quotetracker to your favorite feed using the same bar-type.
 
Dakota / AMIBroker Book Coming
Howard Bandy is writing a book on using AmiBroker and BioComp Dakota together for system development and testing.  This is great, because there are a lot of Dakota users with AmiBroker.  Howard's got his draft table of contents published on his web site.  Go take a look and send him your comments and encouragement!

Customer Quote
T.B. in California says...
"I think it's awesome that you give the user so much control defining time-based bars.  Being able to define a bar in seconds is really cool."
