233 Tick Chart

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am a beginner trading the emini S&P500, I have noticed that a lot of traders use the 233 tick chart. I am using a 5 minutes chart using MACD and Stochastic but I’d like to know further more about the 233 tick eg. How can I to interpret this chart, how can I combine this chart with other studies to know the entry points so I need some help to understand what the 233 tick is all about.

 

Thanks guys

This 233 tick chart was made popular by John Carter and his book. Other than that, tick charts at different number are personal preferences. I use 600 and 3000 tick charts. 600 tick is closer to 5 min charts, 233 is a bit too fast for me.

Tick charts work well in combination with fib's but its the same as any other chart. If you feel comforable using a 233t (2-3min chart equivalent on the YM) then use it but have an anchor like Walter just said.

I've used 15 minuite candles ES for many years, The market moves in 30 minuite intervals,,so the 15's jus work for me... What tick chart setting is best to use in conjunction with the 15 min? I've been watching a 233 but it doesn't seem to flow with all my 15 min interval charts, but I can tell jus by watching it for a few days that it is useful! I just need to get the proper setting to flow with 15 min intervals. Any help is greatly appreciated...Thank you....ST

Stalor do you want it as a trigger chart (I.e. faster) or to be a similar speed to the 15 minute? In any case get a rough idea of the total ticks for a day and then divide by 6.5 * 4. Thats 6.5 hours * 4 15 minute bars an hour and will give a similar length bar to the 15 minute. Divide by a further 5-7 to get a faster 'trigger chart'. From memory 2000 tick was roughly equal to 15 minutes but I think you will need double that nowadays.

What basis do you have for this observation?

 

Well fs My basis is 8 years of experience watching & trading the market. All seasoned traders I've met & know will tell you that 10:00 10:30 11:00 11:30 give or take 5 minuites are key reversal times in the AM ,,,,,2:00 2:30 3:00 are the PM reversals or continuations which ever the case may be. It's been my experience that more volume usually comes into the market around those times. Traders call the time between 11:30 & 2:00 the doldrums, for obvious reasons, thus not good odds for catching a runner. Hope this helps.....ST

 

I've started watching a 512 on the ES & 233 on NQ they seem to pair up well that way & do give a lil different perspective than a time chart.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
