I do not want to draw you into a long time consuming discussion on this one topic but I do still have one 'gap' in my understanding and this relates to the bins versus segmentation issue. So I am going to try to explain what I think is happening and see if you laugh!!! :-) Taking your binning explanation, I notice that I can set up different binning scenarios for each variable in the TradeScope. So I effectively end up with rows of buckets, one row for each variable and each row having different lables (ranges) on the buckets. I can then seperately set up segments for the Thermometer on my chart. These may or may not match any of the bin setups I have chosen. A quick aside - in the Tradescope presentation it states that '...the more variables you add, the more hits you will get..' from that I am assuming that each variable added creates an OR condition rather than an AND condition. Effectively the Tradescope is looking for a situation where condition 1 is true OR condition 2 is true etc. (if it is an AND condition you would expect to get less hits with each variable added). So going back to my rows of buckets, I am assuming to build the Thermometer, I do similarly to the process of binning, except that I now look for any buckets from any row that fits into the segment in question and build up the segment from these buckets. If I am a million miles off the mark, feel free to publicly shred me !!!! Again - very many thanks for the assistance thus far. | |
