Re: data mining in tradestation?

I used a few things to measure volatility: price channels, ATR, Bollinger bands, and Keltner. They are useful in some ways but not in others.

About candlesticks, one thing I've done wrong with them was identifying setups based on a single or 2 candlesticks. These i found out led to alot of false signals. In mining, it's better to group the bars at least 5 or more and describe them in more details before the false signals are taken out. One or two bars cannot say much when 50-60 bars have already been voted, even if they are tops or bottoms.
