Bid/ask Indicator?

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

In tradestation, is there a way to display a indicator that will show you the bid/ask entries.

 

Eotpro, they use it but for multichart, would be great if someone can do it for Tradestation?

 

Many thanks

eotpro is available for the TS platform, in fact Bill is fairly active on the TS forum. A little pricey at $144 per month lease, here is an explanation of the system by Bill:

I wanted to answer a question I received via PM to a MC user that asked:

 

"What is you trading based on? what triggers you in a trade?"

 

I use these these indicators to watch a few things

 

1. Price is the most important of them all and I use an indicator called the Patty B to trigger me in to the trade. It gives me a red or green dot.

 

2. Volume analysis is the next critical item. I use the indicator called Shelly's volume to help determine the Direction of volume and I want to make sure its moving in my trade direction

 

3. Cycles. I use the indicator called Market sync to help compare short and long cycles in the market to give the bias of the cycles.

 

4. Intermarket analysis. I use other markets to give me a heads up on what the e-minis are doing or likely to do.

 

All 4 of these things need to line up for me in order for me to make a trade. I consider when all these things line up to high probability trade

 

Hope that answers your question

Regards

Bill

What are you really asking for here?

 

Orders resting for the bid and ask? Use the TS order matrix (DOM) to see these.

 

Trades completed at the bid and ask? Use the Bid Ask Volume Ratio indicator in TS.

 

Or try this:

 

Bid-Ask Pressure Indicator

Hope this helps.

Thats what I wanted, is there a way to make it look like an indicator i.e. it gets overlayed onto the price rather then bar graphs

 

Thanks

 

Yes forsearch. Can you also make it cook and iron my clothes for me? :roll eyes: Joking Joking...

 

Theman: the nature of this indicator would not make sense overlaid on price.

 

Why would you want it overlaid on price? What exactly do you want this indicator for, if you don't mind me asking?

Sorry smwinc, maybe its my lack of knowledge, I think it should be ok with the bargraph.

 

Thanks

 

no apologies, the only people who aren't learning in this industry are the ones who gave up.

 

Cheers

    • Date: 6th June 2024. Ideal Economic Conditions Push The NASDAQ To New Highs! Economists expect the European Central Bank to cut interest rates this afternoon. However, investors will be keen to hear how many cuts are likely in 2024 after strong wage growth. The NASDAQ climbs to a new all-time high while economic data indicates an earlier rate adjustment but not a recession. The NASDAQ rises more than 2.00% on Wednesday. 88% of the most influential components within the NASDAQ rose. The US employment sector continues to witness signs of a slowdown, but investor sentiment rises while the ISM Services PMI rises to a 9-month high. USA100 – 88% of NASDAQ’s Components Rise! The NASDAQ rose again to an all-time-high after obtaining the ideal economic data to signal a sooner rate adjustment but not a harsh landing. The ADP Non-Farm Employment Change fell to 152,000 and the JOLTS Job Openings to 8,060,000. The data indicates the US employment sector is now at a higher risk of declining, but not yet necessarily on the downturn. Simultaneously the ISM Services PMI rose to a 9-month high which points to potential economic growth in the services sector. As mentioned during yesterday’s market analysis, in order for the stock market to witness a stronger bullish impulse wave, investors will be looking for two elements. Economic data to pressure the Fed to adjust interest rates, but also some positive data to lower the risk of a recession. This was the primary reason for the strong trend observed during yesterday’s US session, marking one of the rare occasions when the asset increased without any pullbacks. The 11 stocks with the highest “weight” all rose in value and only 12% of the most influential stocks declined. The best performing stocks were Broadcom (+6.18%), Applied Material (+5.25%) and NVIDIA (+5.16%). The only stocks which did not witness an increase were PepsiCo which fell 0.23% and Cisco Systems which fell 2.95%. The NASDAQ is obtaining clear indications of upward price movement on all indicators (2-Hour & 4-Hour Chart). However, the price is trading slightly lower this morning which may prompt short term traders to hold off buy signals. In order to obtain a further buy signal, technical analysts point to 3 potential entry points. Based on the 100-Bar SMA the 5-Minute chart indicates a buy signal above $19,077.09, Fibonacci indicates a buy signal at $19,082.50 and the breakout level is at $19,095.00. EURCHF – Investors Focus On The ECB’s Rate Decisions! The day’s best performing currencies during this morning’s Asian session are the Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and the Australian Dollar. Therefore, if investors wish to speculate downward price movement due to rate cuts, these pairs potentially can be beneficial. From these exchanges the lowest spread is the EURAUD. During this morning the EURCHF is trading 0.09% lower and is forming a symmetrical triangle. Therefore, there is not yet a clear indication of buy or sell indications. However, volatility is likely to rise after the European Cash Open and after the European Central Bank’s rate decision. Most economists believe the European Central Bank will cut interest rates 0.25%, and according to Bloomberg, this has almost been fully priced within the market. However, economists advise a key factor will be how many rate cuts are likely. Over the past two weeks, the Eurozone witnessed higher wage growth, economic growth and sticky inflation. Therefore, the main question will be how many interest rate cuts will come in the rest of 2024. Always trade with strict risk management.
