You didn't really quit did you?

 

No. I'll probably never quit. I know how to trade. I just need to have daily stop loss limits in place in case I start trading against the plan and let my emotions take over. It's really that simple. And I bet it's this way for a lot of "FUTURES" traders that experience losing weeks or months worth of profits in a single day. It's just plain stupid. If your a futures trader you have to have a planned stop and trade only signals that you recognize. If you start trading against your plan the best precautionary measure you can take is to have a daily stop loss in place that will close out your positions when you get down X amount of dollars.

 

There's been days where I've been down $5k and I made it back to positive, but there's been just as many days where that $5k loss turned into a $10k loss. I pretty much know that when I get down X amount of dollars, that the day is going to be a loser and that I should quit, but sometimes I let the emotions turn on and I use increased leverage to get back to breakeven. This is pretty much like a gambler going on tilt. Experienced traders know the end result is more often bad than good in this scenario. You correct bad behavior by reducing leverage, not increasing.

 

To some it up. Use daily stop loss limits on your account. Trade your signals that you have planned ahead of time, and only take trades where you feel comfortable with the risk of having your planned stop loss hit.

Crap. Guess too good to be true. Was chopped too many times today, this would have probably helped. Thanks for the reply. IB TWS does accept VOL-NYSE@NYSE as a symbol input. It also has a description available, but no quotes on it and no way to specify UP or DN.

Justlurking:

Depend on the charting software you are using, meaning whether it will accept Opentick.com data ? If it does, I think all it cost you is $1.00 NYSE exchange fee per month to get $UVOL and $DVOL.

Thanks OAC. I found an old post dated back in December where you had mentioned that Opentick supports $UVOL and $DVOL so I tried a quick download and it worked, for history that is. I will run some tests to see its usefulness and take it from there. Whats that you say, a whole dollar! lol. I hope I get some good results with this. If you have any other internals supported by Opentick that's worth mentioning, I could use all the help I can get.

 

thanks

This is similar to IB adv-decl :

The IB ticker symbol VOL-NYSE works similarly. The advancing volume is reported in the bid, the declining volume in the ask, and the unchanged volume in the bid size. Similar custom instruments can be setup easily to track the NYSE advance/decline volume spread or ratio.

Most charting programs are unable to handle this peculiar type of symbol from IB.

 

BTW, Opentick may no longer be accepting new subscriptions. Did you subscribe to OT recently?

Starting to make sense now. Whats odd is that although most charting platforms may not support these symbols, I don't see quotes in TWS either! I'll have to verify during market hours and see if I can at least get any field populated.

 

Luckily I am already an OpenTick subscriber so I am able to download historical UpDnVol for now.

 

thanks

WOW. How above that 12:1 closing strength of the DVOL?

 

Mid day there was some price action chop but all in all this should have helped you stay focused on trending short trades and scalping long trades if you even had the nerves to attempt a long.

I don't see chop on this indicator...That's precisely why I'm saying it's helpful. With some indicators it's about what you don't see. ;)

 

If you were watching say the SPY (see below)...you had a period of chop from 2:15 till about 3pm Friday. Hell you had a range break upwards so some got sucked into going long there no doubt. If you were looking at this indicator, you would have been pretty assured that the trend was still down and should have kept out of the long range break.

Yup MC, I was one of em'! I've just added the $UVOL and $DVOL as your posts clearly show their value (Thank you). Apologies if this is a daft question, but I'm not clear how this indicator differs from $TRIN? Also, I use eSignal and as far as I can se, I can only display it in two separate charts as opposed to the single chart in your posts. Any thoughts on these fronts would be appreciated.

Cool...hope this setup helps you stay on the right side of the trade. :)

 

http://tradersbase.com/tbimages/mc/VIX-TRIN.jpg

Check out this chart to see what I think of the TRIN. IMO VIX is way better, I do run the TRIN but only to see if it closes outside the extremes (2.0 and .6). Many use the TRIN as something inverse to the market to try and spot trends, but again JMHO VIX shows trends and moves much more clear.

 

BTW...I also run an $ADVN comparison with $DECN to compare advancing issues to declining in the same fashion as the UVOL technique.

 

If lil old Think or Swim platform can do the comparison I'm sure you can do it on the beast esignal. I've never used esignal though so I'll be of little help there. You just need to do a comparison of the 2 tickers though. I'm sure somebody here uses Esig and could help you out if comparison isn't enough.

    • Date: 15th April 2024. Market News – Negative Reversion; Safe Havens Rally. Trading Leveraged Products is risky Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Markets weigh risk of retaliation cycle in Middle East. Initially the retaliatory strike from Iran on Israel fostered a haven bid, into bonds, gold and other haven assets, as it threatens a wider regional conflict. However, this morning, Oil and Asian equity markets were muted as traders shrugged off fears of a war escalation in the Middle East. Iran said “the matter can be deemed concluded”, and President Joe Biden has called on Israel to exercise restraint following Iran’s drone and missile strike, as part of Washington’s efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East and minimize the likelihood of a widespread regional conflict. New US and UK sanctions banned deliveries of Russian supplies, i.e. key industrial metals, produced after midnight on Friday. Aluminum jumped 9.4%, nickel rose 8.8%, suggesting brokers are bracing for major supply chain disruption. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex fell back from highs over 106 to currently 105.70. The Yen dip against USD to 153.85. USOIL settled lower at 84.50 per barrel and Gold is trading below session highs at currently $2357.92 per ounce. Copper, more liquid and driven by the global economy over recent weeks, was more subdued this morning. Currently at $4.3180. Market Trends:   Asian stock markets traded mixed, but European and US futures are slightly higher after a tough session on Friday and yields have picked up. Mainland China bourses outperformed overnight, after Beijing offered renewed regulatory support. The PBOC meanwhile left the 1-year MLF rate unchanged, while once again draining funds from the system. Nikkei slipped 1% to 39,114.19. On Friday, NASDAQ slumped -1.62% to 16,175, unwinding most of Thursday’s 1.68% jump to a new all-time high at 16,442. The S&P500 fell -1.46% and the Dow dropped 1.24%. Declines were broadbased with all 11 sectors of the S&P finishing in the red. JPMorgan Chase sank 6.5% despite reporting stronger profit in Q1. The nation’s largest bank gave a forecast for a key source of income this year that fell below Wall Street’s estimate, calling for only modest growth. Apple shipments drop by 10% in Q1.

    • The morning of my last post I happened to glance over to the side and saw “...angst over the FOMC’s rate trajectory triggered a flight to safety, hence boosting the haven demand. “   http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/topic/21621-hfmarkets-hfmcom-market-analysis-services/page/17/?tab=comments#comment-228522   I reacted, but didn’t take time to  respond then... will now --- HFBlogNews, I don’t know if you are simply aggregating the chosen narratives for the day or if it’s your own reporting... either way - “flight to safety”????  haven ?????  Re: “safety  - ”Those ‘solid rocks’ are getting so fragile a hit from a dandelion blowball might shatter them... like now nobody wants to buy longer term new issues at these rates...yet the financial media still follows the scripts... The imagery they pound day in and day out makes it look like the Fed knows what they’re doing to help ‘us’... They do know what they’re doing - but it certainly is not to help ‘us’... and it is not to ‘control’ inflation... And at some point in the not too distant future, the interest due will eat a huge portion of the ‘revenue’ Re: “haven” The defaults are coming ...  The US will not be the first to default... but it will certainly not be the very last to default !! ...Enough casual anti-white racism for the day  ... just sayin’
    • Date: 12th April 2024. Producer Inflation On The Rise, But Will Earnings Hold Demand Steady?     Producer inflation rose slightly less than previous expectations, but the annual figure continues to rise. The annual PPI rose to 2.1% and the Core PPI rose to 2.4%. The NASDAQ and SNP500 end the day higher, but the Dow Jones continues to struggle. This morning earnings kick off with the banking sector including JP Morgan, BlackRock and Wells Fargo. All 3 stocks trade higher during pre-trading hours. The Euro trades lower against all currencies despite the ECB’s attempt to establish a hawkish tone. USA100 – The NASDAQ Climbs Higher, But Is the Growth Sustainable? The NASDAQ was the only index which did not witness a significant decline at the opening of the US session. In addition to this, the USA100 is the only index which is witnessing indications of a bullish market. The price has crossed onto a higher high breaking the resistance level at $18,269. The index is also trading above the 75-Bar EMA and at the 65.00 level on the RSI which signals buyers are controlling the market. However, a similar large bullish impulse wave was also formed on the 3rd and 5th of the month and was followed by a correction. Therefore, investors need to be cautious of a bearish breakout which may signal a correction back to the 75-bar EMA (18,165). The medium-term growth and its sustainability will depend on the upcoming earnings data.   Bond yields declined during this morning’s Asian session by 18 points, which is positive for the stock market. However, even with the decline, bond yields remain significantly higher than Monday’s opening yield. This week the 10-year bond yield rose from 4.424 to 4.558, which is a concern. If bond yields again start to rise, the stock market potentially can again become pressured. 25% of the NASDAQ ended the day lower and 75% higher. This gives a clear indication of the sentiment towards the technology sector and reassures traders about the price movement. Another positive was all of the top 12 influential stocks rose in value. Apple, NVIDIA and Broadcom saw the strongest gains, all rising more than 4%. Producer inflation read slightly lower than expectations, however, the index continues to rise. The Producer Price Index rose from 1.6% to 2.1% and the Core PPI from 2.1% to 2.4%. Therefore, it is not indicating inflation will become easier to tackle in the upcoming months. For this reason, investors should note that inflation and the monetary policy is still a risk and can trigger strong bearish impulse waves. EURUSD – The Euro Declines Against Major Currencies The European Central Bank is attempting to concentrate on the positive factors and give no indications of when the committee may opt to cut rates. For example, President Lagarde advises “sales figures” remain stable, but the issue remains they are stably low. Officials said the decline in prices generally confirms medium-term forecasts and is ensured by a decrease in the cost of food and goods. Most experts continue to believe that the first reduction in interest rates will happen in June, and there may be three or four in total during the year. Due to this, the Euro is declining against all currencies including the Pound, Yen and Swiss Franc. The US Dollar Index on the other hand trades 0.39% higher and is almost trading at a 23-week high. Due to this momentum, the price of the exchange continues to indicate a decline in favor of the US Dollar.   Always trade with strict risk management.
