Any Delta Divergence Ideas?

Recommended Posts

The indicator appears to hold potential as a possible entry signal. However, since it requires live data I'm having a heck of a time testing it. Currently I have a very basic system in order for me to get the feel of how the indicator works with live data.

 

My setup is this:

5-minute chart of YM

When Delta Divergence fires go Long/Short on next bar at market

Set Target of 25 points

Set Stop of 30.

Only trade during 8:30 - 14:30 (central)

 

I started testing this about a week ago and looks like it has potential. Obviously there will need to be changes and a lot more testing. Thus to help speed this up I was wondering if anyone else had some ideas on using Delta Divergence as part of a trading system? Or maybe you just have an idea such as a filter to exclude signals. Anyway, would love to hear some thoughts on using Delta Divergence.

 

Thanks all.

Since the Delta Divergence requires live data, therefore with it being difficult to backtest, have you tried the volume divergence indicator I coded up? Just a thought as it may help you with testing out your system.

Blu-Ray,

 

I've not tried that. It's an interesting idea. Are you saying the volume divergence is similar enough that developing my system under this would be worth a shot? If so, that's a great idea.

 

Thanks for the idea. I'm going to look into that.

I think it's definately worth looking at, if this is the route you're going down, as it is the actual volume that has traded. It will also let you know if it's got potential or not, as you can go back months/years rather than just whats on the screen at the time with the delta divergence.

 

Cheers

Try searching ET for posts by 5pillars lots of info and charts on how he does it. This cropped up here a while ago and I had a couple of other suggestions which escape me now.

 

If you are going the system route you might want to consider Neoticker. Its Tick Precise and/or Tick replay features will let you test on bid ask and last data streams.

Thanks for the help. Looks like there is lots of videos on marketdelta.com and a long post or two at elitetrader. I'll try to get to them this weekend.

 

Here are some of the links for others who might be interested.

One thing to note with market deltas video on delta divergence is they are plotting "delta bars" and not plotting over time. Basically, you can set the plots so that a bar is only plotted at X number of contracts on one side of the bid/offer.

Basically like constant volume bars with only one side of volume. Its quite interesting from messing around with it but I believe its a bit different than what 5pillars was doing in the ET thread, I still didn't quite understand how he was trading that stuff. With the delta bars you clearly see areas of congestion vs activity as bars are simply not plotted and just get longer as the market consolidates.

If anyone would want to figure out how to overide Ninja's plots to make delta bars, I would certainly be into helping out on that project. I think Ninja will ultimately crush neoticker in the next few years. Neoticker is amazing but it feels like your running a program written for windows 98.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
