IRT Features

Recommended Posts

Sure, you can either stretch the main IRT task window across all monitors.... OR, any window (charts, quotepages, etc) can be made "floating" and then be dragged outside the IRT task window.

Hey Chad, two questions now that I'm up and running.

 

First, can I get volume levels to appear in the right pane like price? Please see pic for further explanation of what I mean.

 

Second, how do I get candles like the second pic that I took off your site?

 

thanks

JJ

JJ,

 

If you double-click on the volume bars in the lower pane, to bring up the preferences for that indicator, you'll see a "Label Current Value" checkbox at the bottom. Check that. You can specify the default behavior for the labelling in "setup: preferences: charts: general" window.

 

That chart is displayed in "Presentation Mode". Just right-click in the message area just below your main toolbar, and choose "Presentation Mode" to toggle that mode on/off. Here's a little more info on that:

Incidentally, I'm working on some additional aesthetic improvements in 9.0.1:

Watermarks, two-tone backgrounds, etc.

James, if you're referring to the profiles you saw in the last chart I posted, that's already available. There's an indicator called the "Profile Indicator". That particular Profile Indicator was setup to plot 30-minute profiles on 1-minute bars....and drawn as "Hollogram"....but it has a lot of flexibility....can plot 1 day profiles, multiday profiles, etc.

 

Here's more info:

Hi again Chad,

I've looked on the site and watched the Market Profile vidoes but can't find how to condense the info down so the whole days profile fits on the screen without scrolling up. On a bar chart ctrl + up does the trick but not in MP. Can it be done?

thanks

JJ,

 

Hold down the shift-key on the keyboard while either a) using the mouse scroll wheel, or b) operating the up/down arrows on the keyboards. This will allow you to zoom in/out on the profile and fit more in vertically and horizontally. Hope that's what you're looking for.

Actually...in traditional charts (candle/bar), ctrl isn't needed...just up/down key (or mouse wheel) will do it.

 

We used the up/down key and scroll wheel for vertical scrolling in MP charts....so the shift was required for zooming.

 

And although there is no vertical scrollbar in traditional charts, you can scroll vertically by dragging the right half of the vertical scale up down. When you do this, your scale goes into "manual" mode (you''ll see an M in upper right corner of scale). Just click that M to take scaling back to automatic. This should all be covered in the Traditional Chart (& MP Chart) videos at www.linnsoft.com/videos

Hey Chad, I've got an issue with my Value Area Indicator on my candle chart having different values than my MP chart. Is there a way to resolve this?

thanks

 

JJ, there are a few different methods used for computing a "Value Area". That "Value Area Indicator" actually predates the Market Profile chart. You can find more information on how the VA indicator computes it's values here:

 

http://www.linnsoft.com/tour/techind/va.htm

 

But it does not use the tpo-based method that the Market Profile chart does. If you want to match the MP values, use either the TPO Indicator or the Profile Indicator.

Good morning Chad,

 

I'm wondering if I can get the time and sales window to float? The only way I can find to bring it up is with the toolbar on my MP chart and can't find the option to float it.

Is there a way?

thanks

JJ

Right-click inside the Time/Sales window to bring up the T/S preferences. There is a "Floating Window" checkbox in there. Check it.

Good morning Chad, does IRT have a market depth type of window graphically showing bid and ask at say 4 levels away from price? It's a feature I had in tradestation so just wondering if I have it now with IRT?

thanks

JJ

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
