Marketprofile.eld

Recommended Posts

I have downloaded the marketprofile.eld indicator that some of you have posted here. It does not seem to have changed my chart. Can someone give some help here?

 

Is it something that only updates when the market is open? If so, that is the problem because it is the weekend.

 

If someone could post a screen shot or some simple instructions, I would be most appreciative.

 

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. Please link the URL to the MP indicator you are using from this forum; not sure which one you are referring to.

If you are using the TPO_Pro5 from the TS forum, try a 15 min chart with about 20 trading days of data (see attached for @ES) and use compress setting of 4 so that the letters are not all squeezed together (also try a fix courier font on TS chart). The indicator does not depend on bid/ask or other transient data.

If you using the MP indicator by Antonio (Ant), that is code protected and has expired a while ago (perhaps one year) and no longer display anything on your chart.

There is no support on any of these indicators, it is just a matter of trial and error.

 

Here are some notes from the TS forum on the TPO_Pro5 indicator

{ Regular Session by using @ER2.D you should eliminate the off-hour MP's. Also, you have to use a

non-proportional font like Courier to have the letter spacings show up properly, or a letter "I" takes

up less horizontal space than a letter "M" and throws-off the histogram. You can do this by right-clicking

on some of the letters, "No" to format Analysis technique. Then choose a fixed-width font and check Default.

Then reload the chart with Ctrl-R. Unfortunately, ALL text on ALL your charts will now use the fix-space font

when the charts reload - TS can't have some one way, and others another way...

 

I went 10 days back on data, as little as 5 will work. Try changing the Compression and Length inputs to 3,

or a lower number than the default depending on you screen resolution .

 

According to Robls99 in another post:

The current function for Session time have been changed to:

SessionStartTime(SessionType, SessionNum)

SessionEndTime(SessionType, SessionNum)

where: SessionType is a numeric value: 0 = Auto Detect, 1 = Regular Session

Session Num specifies the specific session that should be returned.

See the TradeStation User Guide (Help tab) for further info.

Can we change the code to a way that we can auto detect session? I tried changing the input to

SessionStartTime(0, 1) and still doesnt work. What can i do?

 

you can look here . For 07/26/07 you see the dates

http://www.charthub.com/images/2007/07/27/ym_rth_mp

By definition, the POC is the longest line of TPO's closest to the center of the range.

 

The value area is where "70% of or thye day's business is conducted." (per Dalton's Mind over Markets).

The value area is approximately 1 standard deviation of the total price movement. Some use a volume value

area, TPO value area or both. The POC or point of control is the price where most of the TPOs exist.

Initiating trades at the POC may be less likely to succeed. You often find random movement at the POC

on a normal day type. At the POC, price is at the middle of the of the "bell curve" and could go in

either direction.

 

ok figured it out. my value area percentage was wrong. When i made it 70% it is fine now

OK. After reading you post and others, I can not get my market profile to match anyones numbers.

 

I have loaded the symbol @ES 15m regular session. It seems that the MP wants to break up the day into 2 parts. Yours does not seem to be that way. Also when I check the numbers against a couple of sources, the numbers are not correct.

 

Here is what mine looks like.

 

Thanks,

Thrunner,Can you please PM or post a link to the .eld file ?thanks!
Hi Mr. Paul, Various members have posted links to eld lately to a Market Profile indicator. I believe they are all based on the TS forum MP indicator TPO_Pro5b because they all look about the same and that is the one I showed above and the one BigEd is trying out. Here is the other recent link I believe by gnassh : http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f6/mp-trading-with-market-profile-3135.html#post27703

 

I personally don't use MP, but I keep it around just to see what other traders may be looking at and acting upon.

 

BigEd, you can try a @ES.D chart instead to avoid the after session activation of the MP indicator. I am not awared of too many MP traders using it for trading outside of RTH (regular trading hr) You can also check your numbers here:

http://www.mypivots.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=0.7&TOPIC_ID=2531⫀ They are free and usually accurate. If your numbers come within a few ticks of what they got, I think that is pretty accurate for MP, considering not everybody is using the same data feed.

Here is the file that I got working. It is from TS fourums. It seems to be the one that Thrunner is talking about. If anyone has an updated one, I would also be interested.

 

 

BigEd, I got it working on the ESZ08.D contract. However, have been trying to get it to work on the ESZ08 contract but do not know how to do it? Do you have an idea?

 

Basically, I need it to produce the market profile for the 24 hour period and not just the pit session. :confused:

Hi,

 

thx for posting this indicator.

I am wondering if there is a version out, that shows the value area only.

Looks like that whole market profile eld needs lot of resources.

 

Thx,

 

Goody

I use the TPO_PRO5b and it works just fine. I use mine on a 30 minute chart and I am pretty sure you can only use it with symbol @ES.D . I suppose u could type out the month and year but its not necessary. The important issue is, it need to be set on market hours only.

 

Does anyone know of a ELD for TS that shows the continuous plotting of the VL, VH and POC with just the horizantal lines and no letters?

Hi Brad

I used the TPO Pro5. ob eld . The one I used is for TS 8.3 or 8.4 and will not work on the TS 2000i (I think thats the name). Also, the version I use will only work on a 30 minute chart (not sure why). If you look on the TS forum it is there and has been for some time. Hope that helps.

The error message you are getting might be related to the RANGE of the security you are plotting...it might be hard coded .. also try it on daily REGULAR session, not globex. See if it works for you.

Does anyone know how to get this indicator to work for FOREX?

 

It does a great job with emini futures, but I get an error message if I try to use it for spot currencies. Anyone has any clue on what changes should be made to the ELD?

 

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

Your most likely getting an array bound error ... if so

Change the compress input in this manor, increas that input by 1 until the profile is ploted.

 

note: by doing that your telling the indicator to combine X ticks as one tick.

where x = the number of the compress input your using.

 

Or

your using TS costum sessions charts... if so the code as is will not work with costum sessions charts.

 

 

Take care

    • $AIZ Assurant stock nice breakout, from Stocks To Watch , see https://stockconsultant.com/?AIZ  
    • Date: 28th March 2024. The US Dollar Strengthens As Economists Believe The ECB Will Struggle To “Hold”. Early this morning, the Fed Governor advised “there is no rush to cut rates” and “the data within the upcoming months” will be vital. The US Dollar Index rises to a 1-month high. The value of the USD will largely be based on today’s data on economic growth, consumer sentiment and pending home sales. Dollar and index traders are closely monitoring tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index which analysts expect will read 0.3%. A higher inflation reading can potentially pressure stocks and support the Dollar. Strong declines in NVIDIA and Netflix stocks pressured the NASDAQ on Wednesday. Though, buyers entered late in the session to boost the overall price. EURUSD The latest comments from members of the Federal Reserve are supporting the US Dollar. The forward guidance between members of the Federal Reserve is mainly not aligned. The Chairman advises the Fed does not need much more proof for the regulator to feel comfortable reducing rates. Whereas the Fed Governor, Mr Waller, advises there is no rush, and he wants to see a few months of data before determining the next move. Therefore, the upcoming inflation and employment data will remain vital and could even push back rate hikes further. According to economists, the Federal Reserve will cut the interest rate on 3 occasions this year, but the timing of the first cut is less certain and may change depending on upcoming data. A positive factor for traders is that EURUSD exchange is not witnessing conflicting currencies. The US Dollar is trading 0.12% higher while the Euro is declining against most currencies. The Euro is trading 0.06% lower against the Pound and the Canadian Dollar and 0.16% lower against the Japanese Yen. Yesterday, the head of the Bank of Italy, Mr Cipollone, said that the authorities were confident that inflation would return to the target of 2.0% by mid–2025. He also supports the lower of interest rate and will use this as a basis for adjusting monetary policy. The Euro is generally under pressure as investors believe the European Central Bank will struggle to avoid cuts if the Fed decide to delay their adjustments. The US Dollar will be influenced by four major economic data releases. The US Final GDP, Weekly Unemployment Claims, Pending Home Sales and Consumer Sentiment Index. If these read higher than expectations with the weekly unemployment claims dropping, the US Dollar is likely to witness further support. However, investors should note the main release will be tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. Traders are expecting no major news for Europe and volatility levels may fall tomorrow as European markets are closed for Easter. Technical analysis currently points towards a continued downward trend. The price is trading below the neutral on the RSI and below the 75-Bar EMA. However, investors should note this will also be dependent on upcoming US data. USA100 The price of the USA100 was under pressure throughout the whole US session but was saved by an increased volume of buyers late in the session. However, a positive point is the components held onto their value. Even though the index fell in value, only 28% of the components declined. Investors will now turn their attention towards tomorrow’s PCE Price Index and the upcoming earnings season which will start in mid-April. The price is now trading slightly above the Moving Averages but slightly below the 50.00 on the RSI. Therefore, technical analysis remains at the “neutral” level and continues to indicate a larger price range. If today’s economic data is positive the stock market can witness confidence and support as this continues to indicate a soft landing. Though, if the data is too strong, it could also trigger a hawkish Fed which is known to be negative for the USA100. Always trade with strict risk management.
