  1. I like the new design, but we now have about 3 inches of fluff between each post. It's got to the point of being quite difficult to find the post on the page. If you actually want to read through a thread you have to use the print view.

     

    Is there any chance of putting this stuff to the side of the posts rather than in-line where it interferes with reading the thread. Or even better have a way of hiding it. Maybe collapse the post header down to a compact form with a little [+] button. On other sites turning off avatars and sigs leaves you with a pretty easy to read format. Not so with TL.

     

    I've just noticed the format of the topic review you get when composing a reply. Something like that would be great.


  2. Thank you for the clarification. You have confirmed that you are actually using price. In fact, in every example you have shown here the volume pane is entirely redundant. I doubt you will be able to see that, so it would be pointless for me to further divert your thread.


  3. Unless and until the Volume Sequences complete on each and every fractal then (and only then) can the Price trend change.

     

    1. Sequences Complete.

    2. The market provides a signal for change.

    3. The trend changes direction.

    4. The process repeats - this time in a different direction.

     

    Volume leads Price. Always.

    And price continues in a straight line while these "volume sequences" complete? I'm questioning your terminology here. You've not shown any volume sequence that isn't coloured by price. For me that's a price and volume sequence. Do you understand what I am saying?

    The Volume Sequences (represented by Dominant and Non-Dominant Gaussian Formation) when matched with the above drawn trend lines for each trading fractal create the B2B 2R 2B (uptrend) cycle, as well as, the R2R 2B 2R (downtrend) cycle. Increasing Volume in the direction of the current trend represents dominant Volume. We represent such phenomenon with an increasing Gaussian line in our Volume Pane with the goal of syncing our trend lines with our Gaussian lines of equal weight See Attached.

    To Be Continued ...

    So price and volume move in sync, as you have illustrated, with price and volume peaking at the the same moment. No argument with that. How do get from this to "volume leads price".


  5. "Height of Volume Bars" represents only one possible relationship shown on the chart with Respect to the Volume Bars. By first understanding the fractal nature of the market, and then, applying that understanding onto one's chart, the trader can readily see the same sequences repeat - over and over again.

    Eh? The height of the volumes bars is the volume it is all the information the volume bar gives.

     

    I understand that you are trying to show fractal waveforms in the volume data. I'm not convinced you can extract four separate waves from that small amount of data. You seem to be using price as the primary cue as to where the volume waves are. I don't see how you claim volume leads price from this.

     

    Sorry, I'm not convinced about these sequences either. Never mind, whatever works for you. :)


  6. As you can see, irrespective of the chosen fractal, the market provides the same exact sequences. Combine these fractals, and a trader can 'see' that which must complete.

     

    Learning to thoroughly and properly 'contain' Price and Volume in order to more easily see these sequences represents the first step toward profitability.

     

    HTH.

    I can't see any relationship between your lines/labels and the height of the volume bars.


  7. Both price and volume are indications of transactions. Transactions change both volume and price simultaneously. Volume does not "create price" or "lead price". Combining price and volume data simply gives more information about order flow than price data alone. Maybe not more information, since everything is revealed in the price eventually, but more timely information.


  8. I think the membership can successfully be given a role in moderating the board. Here's my idea.

     

    First you need a few very clear rules about what is not allowed.

     

    Then you need a report post button that appears on all unmoderated posts. Any member should be able to report a post and select which rule it breaks in their view.

     

    Reported posts are approved, moved or deleted by an official moderator as necessary in accordance with the published rules.

     

    Once a post has been approved by a moderator or if it was not reported by any members for a period of time, it is marked as moderated and no longer has a report post button.

     

    Each member has a moderation score. If they report a post that subsequently requires no action by the moderator, their score goes down a lot. If they correctly report a post, it goes up a bit. I think it would work best if the actual scores were not known by the members. Abusers of the report post button will end up with negative scores and their reports can be ignored.

     

    After the system has been running for a while, if it works, you will be able to automatically hide posts with a certain weight of reports while they await official moderation. Then if you find that all the hidden posts end up being deleted, you could make that automatic (subject to appeal). It can be gradually extended.

     

    If it doesn't work, well at least you've got a report post button. :)


  9. Hi Euclid,

     

    I have been looking into this problem with my host. We would like a few more details as your IP is not banned in our system.

     

    Are you directly able to visit http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums'>http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums without an isssue? Which page are you seeing this error. Is there any other error message that you are seeing on your end that could help assist us in finding the problem? Thank you.

     

    I used to get punted to the error page just after the home page had finished loading, but after a few page reloads, it would be OK. It was then OK for as long as I didn't shutdown my browser.

     

    I was getting it on the home page (http://www.traderslaboratory.com) and /index.php?page=calendar. I think I also tried /forums, but I tried it again and the problem has just now gone away and I can't reproduce it on any URL.


  10. Here's some links I found via that 'other' website:

     

     

    Contact the brilliant mind behind this: http://www.house.gov/formdefazio/contact.html

     

     

    Contacting your congress rep: http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/

     

     

    Contact Ways & Means Committee: http://waysandmeans.house.gov/

    (Contact in upper right corner of page)

     

     

    Track status of this bill: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1068

     

     

    At the very least, send an email expressing your concern over this ridiculous 'tax on Wall Street' when many normal guys will be hurt by this tax.

     

    And don't just complain about how it's going to affect you as a speculator. Preventing speculation is one of the stated aims. Make some arguments about how this will be bad for the country including struggling businesses which rely on low cost access to the markets.

     

    Point out that without exemptions for market makers, all derivatives exchanges will be forced to move abroad since they rely on arbitrage which would be impossible under this tax regime. With exemptions, then markets could remain, but speculation would be all but eliminated leaving the markets more expensive for investors and businesses. Also the tax lost from speculators forced out of the market would probably outweigh the tax gain.

     

    Point out that there isn't a huge pot of money floating around the derivatives markets which can be easily tapped by the government. It's all imaginary money - notional contract values. Counting derivative transactions on their contract value is like counting insurance transactions by their maximum pay-out value. The numbers are absurd. There are no billions of dollars floating around that no-one will miss.
