New Features in Investor/RT 9.1

Recommended Posts

We are on the verge of releasing 9.1 and I wanted to start highlighting some of the new features to look forward to. We should have a beta ready next week, possibly early in the week. I'll be adding to the list below over the coming days.

 

1) Support for the TransAct/Infinity platform.

 

We are putting the finishing touches on the integration of Investor/RT and TransAct/Infinity data. We are excited about launching this combination in beta over the coming week. This should be a very powerful combination.

 

2) Ability to compute the average volume or average range of time periods throughout the day.

 

Over the years I've had a number of request along the following lines: "Is there any way for me to compute the average volume of the first 5 minutes of the session over the last 10 session (50 session, etc). Then compute the avg volume of the 2nd 5-minute period, etc. And then be able to compare the volume of that period today with the average to get a relative strength. I've no added options to Session Statistics indicator to do this type of per-bar averaging, and to do it not only on volume, but range, change, and many other criteria.

 

Below is an example:

These are 30-minute bars/brackets, showing the average ranges and volumes over a 50 day period of each 30-minute bracket. The relative strengths are also included (dividing the current value by the average, then multiplying by 100). From this chart, you can clearly see, not surprisingly, that the first 30 minutes of the session carries the heaviest volume and largest range (on average), followed closely by the 2nd 30-minute period.

 

3) Cloning Trendlines and extending them into the future.

 

Trendlines can now be easily cloned (duplicating the trendlines with those of same length and slope) and dragged so that the endpoints extend into the future (past the current bar).

 

4) Cumulative VWAP from any starting date/time

 

We've added the ability to create cumulative VWAP lines beginning at any past date/time and going to present. These can be easily duplicated/dragged/dropped for quick positioning at extreme highs / lows. These are useful for creating support and resistance lines during uptrend and downtrends when drawn from extreme lows and highs respectively.

 

5) Market Profile custom TPO sequence

 

Users may now specify their own sequence of TPOs instead of the standard ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQ.... Users may specify not only letters, but numbers, or other characters such as +, -, $, #, etc. The sequence specified will be repeated if more there are more letters in the profile than specified. For instance, if a user specified simple "+" then "+" would be used over and over for each TPO. This new feature works well in conjunction with the ability to custom the color of each TPO. Here is an extreme example:

Awesome updates, Chad.

 

Couple of questions:

 

A. Will there ever be support for OEC / Open E Cry in I/RT or Market Delta?

 

B. Is there support for tick-by-tick data replay on demand ?

forsearch,

 

I have now downloaded and taken a look at the API for open e cry. That could be in our near future but no guarantees.

 

Take a look at this video on global playback: http://www.linnsoft.com/videos/playback/

 

Thanks - will do.

Another note on the feature I mentioned above to "compute the average volume or average range of time periods throughout the day." This can be applied to any time-based periodicity, including minute bars, or second bars. You can also do averages of the cumulative values (volumes, ranges, etc) for the session, at each bar through the session. You can see a good example below which shows the 10 day averaging of the cumulative volume (3rd pane). You can clearly see from the curve how the volume ramps up in the morning, levels off around lunchtime, and then ramps back up into the close. The 3rd pane shows the relative strength...how the cumulative volume of the day measured up at each bar compared to the average volume at that point for the previous 10 days.

Here's an hourly chart showing the average volumes of each hour (10 day). I've flagged the first bar of each week. About 450,000 contracts, on average, trade during the first hour of the session for the ES.

A new option has been added to the Zig Zag Indicator to allow users to automatically draw fib levels at users specified percentages. Also, the user now has the option to "box" each leg of the zig zag. Here is an example of both in action:

    • 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.
