VSA - No Demand/No Supply & Squats

Recommended Posts

A special thanks to PivotProfiler for providing the code for VT, unfortunately I volunteered to translate it into Tradestation. Three weeks later and I'm finally finished. Apologies for the delay but Tradestation doesn't allow future referencing which the code did, so I had to individually make it backwards compatible.

 

For example VT code :

 

c>ref(c,+3) had to become c[3]>c in EasyLanguage.................and doing this for over 150 plots :bang head:

 

Most of the plots require at least 1 bar for confirmation, so I've coded the indicator to show, for example, "No Demand3(1)" in the data window to let you know that it required 1 bar for confirmation before the indicator plotted ( handy for looking over previous charts as well ).

 

I've also coded in Alerts into each one, so all you have to do is format the indicator and enable the Alerts if desired.

 

I've split the code into two ELD's, one for No Demand/Supply and the other for squats.

 

I've also included an input so you can adjust the number of ticks above/below the high/low you want the indicator to plot. Here's a pic of some examples:

 

Hope this helps

Please forgive my ignorance Blu-Ray but could you explain what the numbers on No demand/No supply ranging from 1 to 43 indicate, also what does the bracketed (1) mean?

 

Do I take it that the Squat is part of the Bill Williams system ? This also has numbers ranging from 1 to 35?

The numbers indicating 1 -43 are the different variations of how to come up with a no demand/ no supply.

 

I'm unsure on the squat question as it was PivotProfiler's code, all I have done is to translate it into TS.

 

Hope this helps

Hi Blu-Ray,

 

Thank you very much for providing the indicator. Is it going to work for TS2000i as well?It does not recognize .eld extension.

 

Thank you,

 

Leonid

 

Hi Leonid

 

I don't think it will work, as I'm pretty sure TS2000i only allows 4 plots per indicator and these have over 150 plots, also you can only import ELA files. not ELD's.

 

You could alternatively split it into loads of indicators if you wanted, let me know and I'll attach a text file of the code.

 

Hope this helps

Hi Blu-Ray,

 

Thank you for your prompt answer.

 

I would appreciate your sending me the code. I hope I can make it into less then 150/4 indicators.

 

Thank you very much in advance,

 

Leonid

 

Here you go Leonid, I've attached two text files, just from my observation, the majority of the signals fired are the NoDem/Supp 3 and 14.

 

Cheers

Hi Blu Ray, thanks so much for converting them. I do plan to donate to your time if I use the code. I have a question for you. Since this is Easy Language will it work with both TS and Multi Charts? I have used neither so far, but looking at them. I would think so because both use EL? Currently I use Sierra Charts so I am attempting to do due diligence before making a forklift upgrade to a new charting platform. Thanks again. :):)

Thanks dandxg, I believe it should work with MultiCharts as well, hopefully a MultiCharts user here could confirm this.

Thanks Blu-Ray

 

43 different variations of no demand/supply, hardly a KISS system. As the indicator fires off only after 1 to 3 bars, this is a confirming system after you have done your analysis and entered your trade. Is this what TG offers as software?

Yes there are 43 different variations, but just from my observation there's normally only 2 that will fire off ( No Demand/supply 3 & 14 ).

 

Also you are right, these are NOT buy/sell signals, just an aid to help out with the correct analysis. ( thrunner posted some links for explanations here)

 

I believe it is something very similar to what TG offers, however when PP made the original code he might have added/removed some variations.

 

Hope this helps

hi Blu-Ray

 

Thank you for this nice piece of work, I'm using it daily. However the dots are somewhat misplaced and I've looked into the code to investigate it.

 

Could you please tell me the reason for calculating the following:

HT=Low - NumberofTicks*mintick;

LT=High + NumberofTicks*mintick;

 

HT? LT?

Shouldn't the dot just be placed right under lowest or upon highest and if more than one dot then displace it accordingly?

 

Have I missed something here? :hmmmm:

 

Once again, thank you for your time!

Hi januson

 

It should plot the dot above the high or low, depending on which one fired. The reason for the LT & HT were so that you could put the dot x amount of ticks above the high. If I were to just put it above the high, then depending how big you want the dot, it can cover up the high, so when you're doing analysis you then have to click on the bar to find out the true high, rather than a visual look at it.

 

If you want it on the high/low then just set the number of ticks input to 0.

 

Hope this helps

Yes, it works well in Multicharts.

hi again..

 

I'm using MultiCharts and I think the dots are misplaced, for some strange reason they are flying to high or to low. But it's nothing to do with your code, I've just created a support question at TS Support as it must be a bug in MC.

Hi januson

 

Yes I think you're right about MC, as I've had another member mention the same problem. Unfortunately I don't have MC to test out the fault, however it seems to be working fine in TS.

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.

Hi Blu-Ray,

I was looking through the code and I think I found a possible mistake. Can you verify for Plot21 and Plot22 in the file "VSA No Demand No Supply.txt". Both "if" statements for those plots contain the condition: (H[3]-L[3])<(H[3]-L[3]) which will always be evaluated as FALSE. Perhaps this is a typo???

 

Thanks,

Ben

Thanks Ben for pointing that out, yes it is a mistake :doh:

 

the code should read " (H[3]-L[3])<(H[4]-L[4]) ".

 

I've attached the modified ELD ( Hopefully James or a Mod could move it to the front page )

 

Thanks again

    • 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.
