Hi Ron
Thank you for your email. I had sent more two emails to Mike in February to resolve an issue. Later I found out that he was on vacation. When I didn't get a response to him after waiting for two more weeks I decided to post this message. Then I sent him another email and last week he replied and he ended helping me with the issue.
Thanks

Increase the probability of Mike seeing this by using a mention.... Like this @Big Mike

But posting in this thread is really a poor way of communicating with Mike. Did you post in the chat for example?

I'm a part time stay at home dad.
Firefighter, trader, dad.

I mostly trade 3am to 6am.
Up till now took my boy to Montessorri in the day about 7am to 330pm and most nights 6to9pm Judo. Set up my trades in Europe about 9to11pm local then get about 4hrs sleep.
I usually get a short nap or even two in the day. This is part of why I want to get something that tracks my sleep like Fitbithr.
Usually lucky I don't have to clean a lot as my gf is a compulsive cleaner. Sometimes I cook, sometimes we eat at the in laws and others we eat out.

Edit- next year my boy will go to another school he tested out for. Not a montessorri based school, but at 4th grade he needs to expand his scope and options. I like his schools Montessorri approa h and they're one of the oldest with branches in many countries.

Basically create tick based profiles for session, micro comps and long term comp, long comps would use tick data for recent and then minute data for way back in time. All from a cache file you create with a CDA tool. Loading tick data like this from these cache files loads extremely fast, under a second. So the profiles have great detail due to tick data.

So for example with Rancho if you want a long term comp you have to choose between tick and minute data. If you don't have the tick data on your drive and have to get it from your data provider you will be limited to how much they can give you. And loading tick data like this can be a performance hit. Don't get me wrong I love the Rancho tools. They are very well made and beautiful to look at, which is great.

I can post a video about the CDA tools later this week. Maybe later today.
