Here is a chart for today. Indicators: Volsplitter 100+ Bid/Ask Volume Stochrsi Blowfish 100+ blowfish 1-10 smooth of 6 on the 100+ volume

thanks blowfish i'll try that.

Thanks again tams, This seems to be beyond my scope of programming, I will just continue to plot it manually in excel. Thanks

thanks tams, I am aware of the the open and close keywords and that they return the open and close of the bar, my problem is that i need a daily bar and reference the open and close of certain times mainly the open at 9:30 the close 10:00 the open at 15:00 and the close at 16:00, That is where i'm having a problem. How can I call up these values on a daily bar.

I can run that today. But if you look at the charts i posted the volume per bar are approx 4181.

Here is the chart for the rest of the day. Again it does track similar at times.

I was using various strategies and I had tried various systems . I was like any new trader jumping around from this to that. The indicators I mainkly use at EOT are something they call bonnie's bars. They are on the pics above coloring the bars red and green. I don't really use the vol splitter as a main focus but I make sure that I am trading in the direction of the big traders, I track them on several time frames. I also use thier cycle moving average and allas's average, they also have several other indicators that i look at. Along with that I have some basic indicators that I like use. I can't really put my finger on what changed, except I have the confidence to execute the trade and using there high level chop I have been able to stay out of some choppy trades. The main thing I guess is confidence, everyone is different when it comes to trading what works for one person may not work for another. I'm convinced if the holy grail existed there are those that still would not follow the signals. So the change for me is confidence and if it cost me $233 per month then i'm glad to pay it. I think i mentioned before that i would pay that much for a simple 2 moving average indicator if it gave me confidence. Anyway that's my opinion for what its worth , go with whatever works for you and gives you the confidence to trade with.

sorry tams i assumed it was a well known indicator. The smart money indicator takes the following information: The closing price at 10:00 am - the opening price at 9:30am it then takes the price at 4:00pm - the opening price at 3:00pm It then add those 2 numbers. It then adds these to a running index. Example: Todays Open was 933.50, At 10am the close was 929 for a value of -4.50 Today's open at 3pm was 931.50 and close at 4pm was 938.25 for a value of 6.75 Take the index form yesterday assume it was 600 add -4.50 and then add 6.75. The final value would be 602.25. My problem is trying to get the values at those times I can't figure out what reserved word to use to call that value.

Does anybody have the smart money index coded for tradestation? I am having trouble calling up the time functions on when to start and stop. I basically want to take a price at a certain time and take the difference of a price at the end of a different time. I was trying to use the cantradetime with the time reserved word but can't get it ot give me what i am looking for.

Here are some charts with the eot volsplit running withthe stochrsi. It doesn't really track the same. They are both based on price to some extent (what price large buyers will buy or sell) so sometimes it does seem that they are going in the same direction but my guess is that if you take other ocillators you will get similar tracking. I was tracking 50 lots I will post charts with 100 for tuesday. It's important to look at the nuances of the differences because after all it all breaks down to whether the trade is profitable or not. I have now used these indicators for almost 1 month and it has improved my trading. Besides the volsplit they also have some other great indicators. I think that it is worth what they charge. It is not the holy grail but it does provide confidence in trading. Compared to other indicators packages out there they offer a good value, I personally hate paying , but when it works it works. As to trying to replicate this I would suggest looking outside the box. They obviously are using something that is not easy or transparent otherwise it would have been replicated by now.

daedalus, try to increase the days back in the symbol format. It works fine on my ts.

I agree ctrlbrk i am pretty comfortable with the indicators i use, but i am always interested in new ways to improve my trading.

Here is a pic of the chart with indicator. The indicators are the ma i'm plotting. Thanks Tams I was looking at the code an realized that was the problem. Sometimes you can stare and stare and it just doesn't jump out.

Sorry, I'M Using tradestation 8.4.

I bought paintbar factory ones and it turned out to be a basic moving average. The problem with all these is that they show you the best examples especially in charts with perfect swings, take a perfect chart and apply any indicator to it and it will most likely look good. Live and learn I guess.

Hi, I'm trying to code this indicator that will let me know the strength of a trend based on 6 moving averages. Basically It plots 2 lines an up and a down. The up trend from 1-6 and down trend -1 to -6. Based on how many ma's are above or below their previous value. It seems to not be plotting correctly if someone could look at it i would greatly appreciate it. I've looked at over and over and can't find what's wrong.:crap: Variables: aPrice(Close), alength(9), bprice(Close), blength(15), cprice(Close), clength(21), dprice(Close), dlength(27), eprice(Close), elength(34), fprice(Close), flength(40), aValue (0), bValue (0), cValue (0), dValue (0), eValue (0), fValue (0), utrend (0), uTrend1 (0) , utrend2 (0), utrend3 (0), utrend4 (0), utrend5 (0), utrend6 (0), dtrend (0), dTrend1 (0) , dtrend2(0), dtrend3 (0), dtrend4 (0), dtrend5 (0), dtrend6 (0); aValue = jthma(aprice, alength); bValue = jtHMA(bprice, blength); cValue = jtHMA(cprice, clength); dValue = jtHMA(dprice, dlength); eValue = jtHMA(eprice, elength); fValue = jtHMA(fprice, flength); if avalue > avalue[1] then utrend1=1; if bvalue > bvalue[1] then utrend2=1; if cvalue > cvalue[1] then utrend3=1; if dvalue > dvalue[1] then utrend4=1; if evalue > evalue[1] then utrend5=1; if fvalue > fvalue[1] then utrend6=1; if avalue < avalue[1] then dtrend1=1; if bvalue < bvalue[1] then dtrend2=1; if cvalue < cvalue[1] then dtrend3=1; if dvalue < dvalue[1] then dtrend4=1; if evalue < evalue[1] then dtrend5=1; if fvalue < fvalue[1] then dtrend6=1; utrend=utrend1+utrend2+utrend3+utrend4+utrend5+utrend6; dtrend=dtrend1-dtrend2-dtrend3-dtrend4-dtrend5-dtrend6; Plot1 (uTrend); Plot2 (dtrend);

I'm back from a needed vacation and will be trading on friday. I will post results. It's good to see this tread still going. I was thinking that I will also start to include charts of my trades to get some feedback. I think that posting charts would help a lot of us, for starters it would get us to save charts of our trades which many traders agree is an important step in becoming a better trader.

EOT Volume splitter does not provide historical plotting. At first believed that it plotted historical. It doe not. The indicator plots 3 values. It will plot small, med and large traders. The Small and medium can be turned off. I have assumed that it plotted historicall because i always had smallandmed turned off. When I turned them on I noticed no plot on them, but the large plotted. I further investigated it when I noticed they also have a ba pressure indicator. I overlayed the large with the ba pressure and whta i got was that the large traders was exactly the same as the ba pressure historically, but then in realtimethe plotted differently i then started another chart and sure enough it followed the ba pressure until it started realtime. So to clear up any confusion the historical plotting on the large traders is presented as the ba pressure and it will only plot acurately in realtime, on NT which is used in the room it does not even approx. historical and plots only in realtime.

I agree with tams, I personally don't mind paying for information especially if it saves me time.

A crappy to start for the week, I had such a good week last week that i didn't want to give up the gains, well I made stupid trades and a mistake going short when i was trying to cover a short already. It ended up costing me $250, without that mistake I would have been positive for the day but I certainly didn't execute my trading plan. Hopefully I can shake it off and start fresh tomorrow.

Thanks swan. The Eot indicator is also wrong at times. The thinking is that smart money lets the dumb money make money sometimes.

I noticed I have not posted everyday this week. I will continue to post as often as i have time. I will also try to post a weekly summary. So here is my summary for week ending 5/10. I consider my week to start on mon. to sun.

Here are my trades for friday and sunday. I went short over the weekend for a fill at the open on sunday. It was good for $250. Friday was a good day I traded 1 contract and executed my trades about 70% to my trading plan. Had I held on a little longer on some of the trades I probably would have picked up an additional 6-9 points, but it was a profitable day, so I can't complain. I'm still having a hard time holding onto trades for any extended period of time that is one reason i went short over the weekend. I wanted to be able to deal with the stress of being in a trade. For this coming week my goals are to keep executing my plan at least 70% of the time, no revenge trading, try to wait for confirmation before entering, and exiting. I have a habit of entering early. Good luck to everyone this coming week.

dido for me i then freak out. It happened this week i had a nice 4 point gain on the emini, hit sell instead of by i was short 2 right when the reversal happened, before i knew it i was down 2.5 x2 5 points. it sucks.

I found this post on "Re: Trader P/L 2009" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "Topic Of The Month May, 2009"
