|How did you hear about us: |

| |

| |

|Please choose from the following indicator formats: |

| |

|Paint Bar Study – This colours the bars or candlesticks on your chart according the criteria you specify. Ideal for |

|identifying conditions that persist over multiple bars, such as trends. |

| |

|Show Me Study – This plots dots above a price bar or candlestick according to the criteria that you specify. Ideal for |

|identifying specific conditions that are normally limited to one bar, such as the first trading day of the month. |

| |

|Sub-pane Indicator – This plots an indicator in a separate sub-pane below your chart. May use lines, histograms, or bars, or a|

|combination of these. Ideal for dynamic and evolving indicators where comparison with previous bars is necessary for |

|interpretation, such as the Relative Strength Index. |

| |

|Multi-Display-Format – This allows you to combine any of the formats offered above into one indicator. Ideal for strategy |

|signals that involve multiple criteria, such as a setup that requires trend identification and an overbought oscillator on |

|particular days of the week. |

| |

|Please specify the format you would like your indicator to take: |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Use the box below to give any guidance on how you would like your indicator to be displayed (e.g. ‘I would like the momentum |

|to be shown as a histogram, with higher bars colored green and lower bars colored red). |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Do you want your indicator to provide signals based on other indicators, or do you want us to program based on your own unique|

|code? |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Please specify clearly the information that you want the indicator to display. It is essential that you are able to break this|

|down into simple points, each one containing a single piece of information. Each term that you use should be susceptible of |

|objective interpretation. |

| |

| |

|Here is an example of a poor spec: |

| |

|If the trend is up and no indicator is overbought then give a signal to buy towards the end of the session . . . |

| |

|A programmer will be left asking the following questions: |

| |

|How are you determining the trend? Which indicators specifically, mustn’t be overbought? Which session do you mean, and |

|precisely how close to the end of the session should signals be given? |

| |

|An example of the same specification clearly described would be: |

| |

|If the closing price is greater than a five period moving average . . . And a fourteen period RSI is not above 80 . . . And |

|the time is within thirty minutes of the close of the S&P cash session . . . Then give a buy signal by painting the bar |

|yellow. |

| |

| |

| |

|Your specification can be typed below: |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|If you require us to carry out programming based upon formulas that you have conceived yourself (as opposed to existing |

|indicators), then you will need to state these in simple language. An example is provided. |

| |

| |

|Example: “Add together the past five closing prices. If these are greater than they were one bar ago, then divide by the |

|current low. If they are less than they were one bar ago, then divide by the high.” |

| |

|Please explain briefly how intend to use the indicator. Providing this information will enable us to offer you advice on the |

|type of inputs that you could use, markets where your idea may work well, additional filters to consider, and ideas about the |

|best way to display the information clearly on your charts. For example, if your idea was to use a Fast Stochastics to buy |

|pullbacks in trends, then we’d probably suggest to you that an indicator such as the RSI or CCI might be a better choice. |

| |

| |

|If you’re not comfortable sharing this information with us, then you may just leave this field blank. You can outline the |

|indicator’s intended use here: |

| |

|Should the strategy be ‘locked’ to prevent other users from viewing the code? |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|This feature is useful when you wish to share your strategy with others without revealing its contents. |

| |

|If ‘yes’, then please specify the password you would like to use: |

| |

|Please note that this security mechanism is a built-in feature of TradeStation, and consequently Delphic Trading can accept no|

|liability for its failure. |

| |

|If you wish to ‘lock’ the indicator yourself (so that nobody ever knows the password but yourself), then we will be happy to |

|provide detailed instructions to enable you to do this. |

| |

|Do you have a specific deadline by which you need this programming work to be completed? If so then please specify your |

|desired completion date: |

| |

|As part of this service you will receive from us a signed confidentiality statement. If this does not meet your needs, then |

|please forward a document stating your own requirements to us, and we will be happy to consider alternative terms. |
