dcstrategies' suggestion is correct, but you can always find a time frame to fit an indicator after the fact The point is that it is unlikely the TTM branded indicator is any better, it is a limitation of any indicator to give the signal you 'expect' at any given setting.

Thank you Richsan, but I don't think Multicharts can read TS elds. In addition, there are so many required functions in this indicator that it may be difficult to import them one by one manually into MC. The best solution may be for raven to ask this in the tssuport (MC) forum. Someone there should have had done a study on this.

The waivers is in effect March 3, 2008, and continue through December of this year. The volume of EMD is about 4-5x lower and there may be some range spread at opening, closing and near EST lunchtime 11-1, 2. As some have mentioned in the other thread: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f18/fyi-er2-is-moving-1918.html EMD may be a little less jumpy than ER2 during these periods (see cyan line below for the range spread). http://cmegroup.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=693 CME Group to Waive Fees for S&P 400 MidCap Equity Index Contracts PRNewswire-FirstCall CHICAGO (:CME) CHICAGO, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CME Group, the world's largest and most diverse exchange, announced that CME Globex® and clearing fees will be waived for all S&P MidCap 400® and E-mini® S&P MidCap 400 Index futures and options on futures for all market participants. The waivers will go into effect March 3, 2008, and continue through December of this year. The waivers in the S&P MidCap 400 products are similar to the fee waivers for the S&P SmallCap 600® products already in place. The S&P SmallCap 600 and MidCap 400 contracts, along with other products in the equity index complex, are attractive alternatives to the Russell 2000 contract, which will no longer be listed on CME Globex following the September 2008 contract expiration.

A bit of shadenfreude with Bear Sterns. Someone stucked a $2 bill to the entrance.

For example if you are doing analysis using tick charts, the volume could be aggregated differently over time so that the volume data looks quite different. Attached please find comparison of two charts from TS, one @ES and the other @ES.D (day session version of ES continuos futures); the magenta arrows show some of the differences. If you apply some indicators based on volume, you will get quite different looking signals. Even the candles looked different. However, using a time chart, the differences are absent (not shown).

If you are reading Suri's book, I don't see how you can avoid trying out TS; almost everything Suri does is done on TS. After all that has been said about TS, it is a fairly reliable, inexpensive and popular platform with good support.

A little extreme, but thanks.

You will probably get more answers if you could please post a chart of live vs historical data and the chart/testing platform with one or two volume indicators. Volume data integrity is one of those dirty little secrets in data feeds. It is like making, or God forbid, eating sausages, you don't want to know how they make it ; but I guess you gotta know.In the end, you may have to try different feeds until you find one that works with your strategy. I am guessing you are using NT, you may find Zenfire a good datafeed for your purpose.

Januson, there is nothing wrong with looking at the MP levels because there are so many traders looking at them. Just as there are so many looking at the VWAP, SD1,2,3. I am not sure what data feed you are getting for the Nordic OMX (Esignal ?), but you can probably try some of the free/low cost MP indicators for Tradestation/Multicharts or Ninjatrader; and try the free VWAP indicators as well.

Even if it increases your sampling size, overtrading is wrong for most beginners because there is no edge and commission and slippage adds up easily. It also reinforce bad habits if you don't have an edge and it tires you out before you can find a better set up - often you will get into a bad trade and become reluctant to enter the next trade which could be a much better setup. LBR (Raschke) has mentioned how most professionals will trade less with less size and break even on a lot of choppy days but make it up on large, usually trending days where their setups are optimal. LBR doesn't need any plugs, but there are many free articles on her site as well.

Thanks for the indicator, BR. The problem with MC may be with scaling to symbol setting. By default the scaling of a MC indicator is to screen, which is something TS doesn't do.

BF is right about the TS forum, there are more detailed info there, unless you don't have an account yet, in that case you can't browse TS forum. MINI DOW JONES ($5) * YM $3,503 $2,802 $1,000** You'll need 10 transactions; but don't forget the exchange fees for YM which is about $60/month. I don't know the minimum account size.

Absolutely not an expert here. But why don't you start looking at Bid/Ask volume (from a reliable tick datafeed source) at support and resistance levels? These are transient data which will not be stored but it will give you insight into the nature of the auctioning process.

Thanks. No price indicator can paint that reversal in real time. This is like a Zigzag or price action indicator, it won't know the price peak (HH) or trough (LL) until 2 or more bars later.

Not that I am aware of. Suri has begun to market quite of few of his indicators, although the prices are not explicitly listed on his website. The closest free indicator is the Suri ZigzagFib from the TS forum.

Change to March 2008 Contract Expiration Date Due to Good Friday Holiday Because the Good Friday exchange holiday coincides with the third Friday of March (the standard March quarterly expiration date), March 2008 CME Group Equity index futures and options will expire on Thursday, March 20, 2008 instead of Friday, March 21, 2008. Specifically: • The open outcry trading of expiring contracts will conclude at the close of the regular trading hours on Wednesday, March 19, 2008. • Trading of expiring E-mini equity index futures and options contracts will conclude prior to the open of regular open outcry trading hours on Thursday, March 20, 2008. Expiration dates/times by contract are provided below:

Now I see a sample chart of the bars in question I can see why you say they are simple. In real life, you won't find too many adjacent bar double top or double bottoms like that (I don't think the sample chart is even an actual chart). If you just want to program such a pattern, the logic provided above (or similar logic) will let you program such pattern matching in EL, but you are unlikely to find many matches. There are a lot more practical three bar group patterns you can explore, for example the ones mention in Suri's book {Suri TBG1; Go Long above H[3]} if H[3] > H[2] and C[2] < C[1] and L[1] > L[2] and H[1] > H[2] and C > H[3] then TB1Long = true else TB1Long = false ; {Suri TBG2; Go Long above H[2]} if H[3] > H[2] and C[2] < C[1] and L[2] < L[3] and O[1] < C[2] and C[1] > C[2] and L[1] < L[2] and C > H[2] then TB2Long = true else TB2Long = false ; {Suri TBG3; Go Long above H[1]} if H[3] > H[2] and C[2] < C[3] and O[1] > C[2] and H[1] > H[3] and C > H[1] then TB3Long = true else TB3Long = false ; {Suri TBG4; Go Long above H[3]} if H[3] > H[2] and H[2] > H[1] and L[3] < L[2] and L[2] < L[1] and C > H[3] then TB4Long = true else TB4Long = false ; {Suri TBG4; Go Short below L[3]} if L[3] < L[2] and L[2] < L[1] and H[3] > H[2] and H[2] > H[1] and C < L[3] then TB4Short = true else TB4Short = false ; The first ELD ...SURIBARS below is not an actual indicator, just the functions for matching the three bar groups pattern. The second ELD, ...SURI.CANDLEREADER is an indicator, capable of matching several candle stick patterns, written by Suri. You should be able to use that as an example to explore more simple patterns. 20070716084205SURIBARS 1.ELD 20061205194606SURI.CANDLEREADER.ELD

They locked the forum to nonsubscribers. That is actually one of the few benefits of TS, the collective wisdom of close to 10 years of programmatic and strategic trading experience from those who are willing to share. You could probably share a TS account with a trusted friend or family member just to get to the TS forum. And yes, they do lock threads and censor/delete posts and threads and you can be banned from that forum; they also know the TS account number of every poster.

I suggest you take a look at the code for Head & Shoulders ShowMe within TS for example of how to find these patterns. These are not simple one, two or three bar patterns (for example, looking for a doji, which is basically Open=Close for the current bar) and it requires looking at pivots or swing bars over many bars (could be dozens of bars). The code for H&S is about 200 lines. In addition, no two independent implementation of these indicators will look exactly the same because there are too many variables involved. Even if you don't do Easylanguage, you could start by drawing a few bars of what the rules entailed in the pictures you posted and see if you could have defined them mathmatically (e.g., H[4] < H[3] AND H[3] = H[1] AND C[3] <> H[3] AND C[1] <> H[1] AND C[0] < L[1] in the simplest 5 bar permutation for the Double top reversal bar pattern).

I doubt it will affect performance. You will find that a 20 day moving average of volume is a pretty much a flat line (look at it on a chart) on a minute chart.

The Hang Seng index futures front month is slightly different from US stock index futures in that it is a monthly contract and the front month is the current month and the roll over is Last Trading Day = The Business Day immediately preceding the last Business Day of the Contract Month; Trading Hours on Last Trading Day 9:45 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. They take a 2 hour lunch break, how civilized In the sample IB chart of HSI below, the option pricing is not to scale to the underlying futures.

Try this Volume Avg indicator modified for RS. Adjust the input for AvgLength to longer periods e.g. 20 days x 390min /5 on 5 min charts; 390min is 6.5 hrs Reg Trade Hrs. inputs: AvgLength( 30 ), AlertPct( 50 ), UpColor( Green ), DownColor( Red ) ; variables: VVol( 0 ), AvgVVol( 0 ), TVol( 0 ), AvgTVol( 0 ), AlertFactor( 1 + AlertPct * .01 ), AlertStr( NumToStr( AlertPct, 2 ) ) ; if BarType >= 2 then { ie, not tick/minute data } begin VVol = Volume ; AvgVVol = AverageFC( Volume, AvgLength ) ; Plot1( VVol, "Vol" ) ; Plot2( AvgVVol, "VolAvg" ) ; { Alert criteria } if VVol crosses over AvgVVol * AlertFactor then Alert( "Volume breaking through " + AlertStr + "% above its avg" ) ; end else { if tick/minute data; in the case of minute data, also set the "For volume, use:" field in the Format Symbol dialog to Trade Vol or Tick Count, as desired } begin TVol = Ticks ; AvgTVol = AverageFC( Ticks, AvgLength ) ; Plot1( TVol, "Vol" ) ; Plot2( AvgTVol, "VolAvg" ) ; { Alert criteria } if TVol crosses over AvgTVol * AlertFactor then Alert( "Volume breaking through " + AlertStr + "% above its avg" ) ; end ; { Color criteria } if UpTicks > DownTicks then SetPlotColor( 1, UpColor ) else if UpTicks < DownTicks then SetPlotColor( 1, DownColor ) ;

Thanks for the update, O Z. The Bill Williams Awesome Oscillator is not well known in the TS circle, but it seems to be a staple with Metatraders.

The Scapler is actually part of the indicator package in the latest NT so currently you don't need to import it. It was originally ported/coded by Gumphrie, but there is no guarantee that NT won't remove it from NT once TTM starts marketing their TTM suite for NT. So here it is the attached and code listed : // Scalper v0.1 by Gumphrie, inspired by John Carter's TTMScalper // v0.2 - removed the period parameter as pretty much useless and changed all the high/low calaculations to be one bar ahead // v0.3 - fixed possible plotting error // v0.4 - additional check for highest and lowest // v0.5 - reduced cpu usage & added trigger bar alert arrows #region Using declarations using System; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Drawing2D; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Xml.Serialization; using System.Text; using NinjaTrader.Cbi; using NinjaTrader.Data; using NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart; using NinjaTrader.Gui.Design; #endregion // This namespace holds all indicators and is required.

Thanks for the video, I think However, we really didn't needed to hear "next slide please" and waited 30 seconds and then "Gavin, did you hear me, next slide please" :rofl: I don't think we needed to hear "you will make obscenely amount of money" either. There is some truth to what he presented, but this video really has zero technical content as to setups until about 35 minutes into this 41 minute video, and all of that was about following the Tom Williams' Trade Guider indicator. I did learn, however, that Richard Ney was a good looking guy, no wonder he was a Hollywood actor. erierambler, a hint for your next avatar ?
