The HIDE button gives you access to the HELP Index (this web site through your default browser).

The T.SIZE if you need to edit any ticker settings.

The HOURS if you need to re-edit your trading hours these are the hours as per you computer clock. I run my computers on USA ET to save me working out the time differences of the US markets to my local time.

T.SIZE: (Symbol tick  size)
The tick size is the basic increment a futures contract can trade at, for instance ES trades in increments of 0.25 or 1/4 point. The Cash indices such as the SPX and OEX are quoted in 1/100ths 0.01 but this would be to small of a move to mean anything. For the ES I use 0.25 and I also use the same for the SPX. For the OEX I use 0.10, for other tickers I don’t trade I first experiment with them a little bit.

If you want to get the best value out of your X-ABCD tables the T.SIZE needs to be tailored to something that reflects about 1/40th of the average daily range.  No less than 1/30th and no more than 1/50th.

Anytime you load a new Ticker Symbol into Wavetrader  II you will be prompted for trading HOURS and T.SIZE. You can put what you like to get things moving but if you need to make changes you can go back and change these entries later.

 

HOURS: (Symbol Trading hours)
These are important and should be entered correctly as they will be referenced to your computers time clock.

For instance if you have your computer clock set to USA ET the trading hours for the SPX would be 09:30 to 16:00
If you had your clock set to Australian EST the SPX would trade between 23:30 to 06:00 in winter and 01:30 to 08:00 in summer.

The reason the hours are important is because the WT II needs this information to update the GANN DAY PERIOD SWINGS at the end of the trading day.

The menus for the HOURS are similar to the TICKER menus and are self explanetary.
