Trading with Market Statistics VIII. Counter Trend Trades in Symmetric Distributions

Recommended Posts

 

Why do you choose a "regular session" to start plotting your Volume Histogram and start calculations of PVP, vwap and SDs? I understand that majority of trades occur during regular session, and all institutions are then active, but statistically wouldn't it make more sense to include 24h of data?

The answer to your question is yes. In normal times (which this is not), starting the VWAP before regular trading hours usually wouldn't make much difference. Remember the VWAP is volume weighted, so including price data prior to the open would have little effect. However these are not normal times and there has been considerable volume pre-open in some markets. Under those circumstances starting the VWAP early could be helpful as you have pointed out.

This is only an hour and a half in (or so). Left chart is a 1 tick chart so 100% precise, right hand is 1 minute. You can see there is a wee bit of a discrepancy as you would expect (volume is assigned to the average price of the bar). I'll try and do one at the close but will be travelling later.

 

 

There is a couple of seconds between the screen grabs as stupid Multicharts wont save the whole workspace. This should let you see if you are close.

 

Cheers.

Managed to upload a file, seems slightly different le.... I am in Asia timing so i am nt sure if its accurate, anyway posted e coding i made,

 

Could u roughly check plszzzzzzz ??

 

day:= BarsSince(BarIx(@,StartOfDay) = 0,1,10000)+1;

day2:= BarsSince(BarIx(@,StartOfSession) = 0,1,10000)+1;

priceX:= IF(price = 1, Close(@), IF(price = 2, High(@), IF(price = 3, Low(@), IF(price = 4, Mid(@), IF(price = 5, HLC3(@), IF(price = 6, Avg(@), IF(price=7, Open(@), 0) ) ) ) ) ) ) ;

vol:= IF( HasVal(Vol(@)) AND Vol(@) > 0, Vol(@), 1) ;

a:= Sum(priceX* vol,day)/ Sum(vol,day);

b:= Sum(priceX* vol,day2)/ Sum(vol,day2);

c1:= Sum(priceX* vol,Period)/ Sum(vol,Period);

VWAP:= IF(DaySessionPeriod = 1, a, IF(DaySessionPeriod = 2, b, IF(DaySessionPeriod = 0, c1, a) ) );

 

DAYSES:= STDDEV(@,day)/100;

SES:= STDDEV(@,day2)/100;

ANY:= STDDEV(@,Period);

STD:=IF(DaySessionPeriod = 1, DAYSES, IF(DaySessionPeriod = 2, SES, IF(DaySessionPeriod = 0, ANY, ANY) ) );

R:=VWAP+((STD*DEV3));

Ok here are 1 tick and 2 min vwaps for the whole days session (Friday). Note the early hour is included. Also note that the time scale is UK time (we don't change to summer time until next weekend so a confusing part of the year). I could have my session times off by an hour I am not trading the DAX right now so haven't checked. Let me know if the session dosen't look right and I'll make adjustments.

 

Things could vary a little with different data sources and on the 2 min how you decide to average the value for your 2 min bar. Importantly you can see both 'work' in so far as price tends to respect the lines. The pvp is a whole other debate, I have some reservations and observations there. That's for another time.

seems similiar........

 

u any idea if my coding is correct though?

 

Not really to be honest I don't know CQG script. If you follow through through the threads there is detailed descriptions of the algorithm in one of them. Did you get the same closing prices (or similar) for the VWAP and bands?

 

Edit: a cursory look would suggest that things might not be correct. Every time you have new volume you need to re calculate the weighting using the new total volume for the whole day. This is discussed at some length in one of the threads as it is a common mistake that people have made in the past. It is probably in the thread where SD is first introduced.

I could be wrong! but the common mistake is that people dont go back and divide every piece of data by the new total volume. I don't know cqg well enough to tell but there is normally a loop but I don't see that.

Well, I don't know CQG script as well, so be careful with my thoughts!

 

First thing what I see is:

 

vol:= IF( HasVal(Vol(@)) AND Vol(@) > 0, Vol(@), 1) ;

 

My understanding is, that the IF syntax in somehow:

 

IF (

what is it,

-> true then do Vol(@),

-> false then do 1);

 

Now false would lead to a volume of 1, my question is:

 

Why not zero or "nothing"?

R:=VWAP+((STD*DEV3));

 

I can't see how VWAP or DEV3 are calculated.

So am I missing something? Where do these values come from?

 

Without knowing it, no further conclusion is ...

 

BTW: What parameters are you using? You have to need some, maybe I just missed them (day, day2?)?

Maybe, what I like to say is, that I can't see how you

draw the 1, 2, 3 SD bands on your charts, while I just see

that a SD is calculated. The R might be a different thing,

but without all information, how should ...

hmmm....

 

these are the coding they gave me though.... i will go back and see if there is any more.

 

 

But u guys seem to know it better though. Is the script above considered a "code" ?

Jerry,

 

I haven't seen you mention the following scenario:

 

For long:

 

The VWAP is above the PVP and lower SD1, SD2, etc. is also above the PVP.

 

I know you mention bounces off of the upper SD1 and VWAP are high probability trades.

 

But I watched you video on the symmetrical YM trade and obviously price was not above VWAP on that trade.

 

Would it be a high probability trade to take bounces off of the lower SD1 and SD2?. I realize that price is not above VWAP.

 

Also in that YM trade, you mentioned that you were using no stop loss. I assume that you were using a “stop” based on your full risk tolerance. If the trade had not worked out and the VWAP went below PVP, would you have exited the trade immediately?

 

Thanks

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
