    It definitly is an investment vehicle.

    I realized this the first time I wanted to register a Domain. The domain name I wanted was listed for around 1K, I didnt want it that bad.

     

    When cell phones first came out many were buying the easy to remebr (xxx-0000) number and then leasing or selling them. for example I have a phone number that ends with four zeros and back about 7 years ago I recieved offeres between 5K -10k for it... I still have the number.

     

    With Domains I think there is still much potential out there, but it was a really good investment idea in the early 90's... that was when you could register some nice domains and make a killing on them.

    BF,

    I will check that thread out as time allows, your the 2nd person on this forum that mentioned it to me, so i better put it on my list of things to do.

    Good job anyway! I am not trying to knock your hard work.

     

    Actually if you are familiar with the error in VWAP_H you could probably fix your algorithm to mimic the actual Vwap. The thing is it is processor intensive (not over duly on 5 min bars) as every time you have a new piece of data you need to re-weigh all the previous pieces of data with the new total volume. But sounds like you knew that anyway :D

     

    Thanks for your comments. I like to fool myself into believing that after a short conversation with a Trader I can tell at what level they are operating... For example the more defensive or bravado displayed -- is indicative of a trader engulfed with performance insecurity or lower level of trading competence.

    On the other hand It is always a pleasure to converse with those (you) that display the opposite—it allows for all involved to have good time.

     

    As you stated it is very PC intensive to calculate VWAP properly, but well worth it if your using smaller intervals.

    What actually happened was that several Forex traders that I talk to were talking about the need for a VWAP indicator. It was easy for me because it was not something I really needed. Does it not seem to be like that with almost everything in life. The less attached you are to it the easier it comes to you.

     

    In any case these Forex traders I mentioned are all using 5m or higher intervals. Most are using 15m 30m 60m and higher for their trading needs. This is why I didn’t think they need it the VWAP very precise. In contrast if you’re using strategies that are dependent on low intervals i.e. Entries/Risk is dependent on low intervals then there is value in having the precise VWAP calculation. Just my view point.

    I edited my original post with something else that occurred to me about TS Vwap_h. If you like I can post an ES chart tommorow with my VWAP on. Might be interesting. Averaging across 5 minutes also introduces inacuarcaies, normally fairly inconsequential but last week i did have one day where my 5 minute chart several points off my 1 tick chart (on the DAX). :D

     

    Sure...

    Re: comment on VWAP_h Function, yes I understand what your refereing to.

     

    If you are not using tick's or bid ask volume changes then you have something quite novel there :D

    Guess it must use 'ticks' as a substitute. Certainly doesn't look bad but it is worth mentioning ES ticks are somewhat different to FX 'ticks'.

     

    A logical guess... but thats not it.

    I made a comparison with ES only because many traders are familiar with ES.

    It will work the same with any Instrument.... Stocks, Futures of any kind, Forex, simply anything you can plot on chart.

     

    Bye the way... for anyone interested.

    Looking at this riddle from a programmers point of view, one will never solve it... instead, look at it from a traders point of view, offcourse it is implied that one has enough trading experience.

    From what I seem to recall, the intent by the programmer was to have the tool match what Jperl was demonstrating in the Market Statistics thread as close as possible. Comparisons were made to other implementations and it most closely matched the Ensign ESPL code used in the Market Stats thread.?

     

    Fair enough, I was not aware of this fact. My comments were made in reference to someone asking about VWAP Bands in post that was not involving Jp work.

    Im not familiar with jprl work, All though I know of a trader with that handle that used to log in a trading room which I participated in. from what I recall, he posted charts with somehting similar to VWAP and some SD bands. Yet I dont know him personally i.e. My focus was Price Action with a concentration on volatility and him being very focused on Statistics, our style of trading was very different so we didnt really have much in common to talk about. I guess The only thing we did have in common was Voltility. Thats as much I know of him.

     

     

    What are you comparing in your screen shot?

     

    The screen shot shows the ELD you referenced over my VWAP and (3) SD Bands. This why I said that ELD is inaccurate... That is if ones intent is to project SD bands from VWAP.

    ..... ..... can you elaborate?

     

     

    I really dont know what the intend of the person who coded those bands is/was, maybe for their use that code works fine.

     

    That said if the intend is to have the bands above/below the VWAP by x SD then it is not accurate. See the screen shot below. The VWAP is accurate but the bands are not accurate, they dont line up.

    In view of the fact that vwap needs volume to work at all, how have you gone about substituting it ?

     

     

    Paul

     

    What you state regarding VWAP on the surface is true, after all even the name of it iplies Volume.

    That said many, Volume infact is not needed to get an indicator to plot same as what a Traditional VWAP Does, Regardless if volume is or is not available. However continuing to Think that volume is needed, will keep one from finding or even thinking the possibility exists.

     

    Last of all, what I mentioned above is supported by the posted screen shots and a video on VWAP_syn or synthentic Volume, so it is not confused as just an opinion.

     

    The video is available here on TL under the video tab...

    if you cant find it look in Forex or volume channel.

    Below I Have Included some Screen shots of My Tradestation VWAP_syn indicator that will work on FORX or any Market that does not report Volume. Yet it can be used on Markets That do report volume as well.

     

    Is anyone using VWAP to Trade Forex?

    One Millions of ways of pulling the trigger to buy or sell but only very few ways of having risk adjusted returns and most trader here do not understand or have the knowledge of risk based trading models.. This is why 90% of traders lose ,, this is why they deserve to lose ...

    By giving us some examples of these models, maybe we too can see the light, and shed our ignorance as you put.
