New Features in Investor/RT 9.1

Recommended Posts

We are on the verge of releasing 9.1 and I wanted to start highlighting some of the new features to look forward to. We should have a beta ready next week, possibly early in the week. I'll be adding to the list below over the coming days.

 

1) Support for the TransAct/Infinity platform.

 

We are putting the finishing touches on the integration of Investor/RT and TransAct/Infinity data. We are excited about launching this combination in beta over the coming week. This should be a very powerful combination.

 

2) Ability to compute the average volume or average range of time periods throughout the day.

 

Over the years I've had a number of request along the following lines: "Is there any way for me to compute the average volume of the first 5 minutes of the session over the last 10 session (50 session, etc). Then compute the avg volume of the 2nd 5-minute period, etc. And then be able to compare the volume of that period today with the average to get a relative strength. I've no added options to Session Statistics indicator to do this type of per-bar averaging, and to do it not only on volume, but range, change, and many other criteria.

 

Below is an example:

These are 30-minute bars/brackets, showing the average ranges and volumes over a 50 day period of each 30-minute bracket. The relative strengths are also included (dividing the current value by the average, then multiplying by 100). From this chart, you can clearly see, not surprisingly, that the first 30 minutes of the session carries the heaviest volume and largest range (on average), followed closely by the 2nd 30-minute period.

 

3) Cloning Trendlines and extending them into the future.

 

Trendlines can now be easily cloned (duplicating the trendlines with those of same length and slope) and dragged so that the endpoints extend into the future (past the current bar).

 

4) Cumulative VWAP from any starting date/time

 

We've added the ability to create cumulative VWAP lines beginning at any past date/time and going to present. These can be easily duplicated/dragged/dropped for quick positioning at extreme highs / lows. These are useful for creating support and resistance lines during uptrend and downtrends when drawn from extreme lows and highs respectively.

 

5) Market Profile custom TPO sequence

 

Users may now specify their own sequence of TPOs instead of the standard ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQ.... Users may specify not only letters, but numbers, or other characters such as +, -, $, #, etc. The sequence specified will be repeated if more there are more letters in the profile than specified. For instance, if a user specified simple "+" then "+" would be used over and over for each TPO. This new feature works well in conjunction with the ability to custom the color of each TPO. Here is an extreme example:

Awesome updates, Chad.

 

Couple of questions:

 

A. Will there ever be support for OEC / Open E Cry in I/RT or Market Delta?

 

B. Is there support for tick-by-tick data replay on demand ?

forsearch,

 

I have now downloaded and taken a look at the API for open e cry. That could be in our near future but no guarantees.

 

Take a look at this video on global playback: http://www.linnsoft.com/videos/playback/

 

Thanks - will do.

Another note on the feature I mentioned above to "compute the average volume or average range of time periods throughout the day." This can be applied to any time-based periodicity, including minute bars, or second bars. You can also do averages of the cumulative values (volumes, ranges, etc) for the session, at each bar through the session. You can see a good example below which shows the 10 day averaging of the cumulative volume (3rd pane). You can clearly see from the curve how the volume ramps up in the morning, levels off around lunchtime, and then ramps back up into the close. The 3rd pane shows the relative strength...how the cumulative volume of the day measured up at each bar compared to the average volume at that point for the previous 10 days.

Here's an hourly chart showing the average volumes of each hour (10 day). I've flagged the first bar of each week. About 450,000 contracts, on average, trade during the first hour of the session for the ES.

A new option has been added to the Zig Zag Indicator to allow users to automatically draw fib levels at users specified percentages. Also, the user now has the option to "box" each leg of the zig zag. Here is an example of both in action:

    • Date: 26th July 2024. The Yen Soars as the Likelihood of a BoJ Rate Hike Rises! The Japanese Yen wins back some lost ground as global Central Banks edge closer to rate cuts. The probability of another interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan increases. July’s best performing currencies are the Japanese Yen (+4.35%), British Pound (+1.41%) and the Swiss Franc (+1.41%). Currencies are taking advantage of the weaker US Dollar, but the worst performing currency remains the New Zealand Dollar. USDJPY – Growing Likelihood of a Second BoJ Rate Hike! The USDJPY increases in value for a third consecutive week and for a fourth consecutive day. Three factors are contributing to the Dollar decline: The Fed’s upcoming interest cut, the Bank of Japan’s interest rate hike and the political uncertainty in the US. The day’s best performing currency is the Japanese Yen which is currently increasing in value against all currencies. Currently, the USDJPY is trading below the trend-line and below the 100-Period SMA which indicates in the medium-term sellers are controlling the price actions. The exchange rate is also below the neutral on all oscillators and forms a clear bearish trend price pattern. Currently the only indications pointing towards a loss of bearish momentum is the diversion formed on the RSI. As a result, even though the trend clearly forms downwards, investors need to be cautious of a potential retracement. If the price trades above 152.96, a larger retracement becomes likely. However, if the price falls below 152.015, momentum will indicate the continuation of the downward trend to 151.674 in the short term and 151.267 thereafter. The likelihood of further monetary policy tightening by the Japanese regulator is growing. Preliminary data for July showed an increase in business activity, indicating a recovery in the national economy. The consumer price index remains above the target level, reaching 2.8% in June, with the core indicator stabilizing around 2.6%. Officials are optimistic about maintaining these high levels, supported by significant wage increases. According to Reuters, Bank of Japan officials will discuss the possibility of raising the interest rate at their meeting on July 31st. Analysts do not expect active measures until after the summer months. However, investors will price in the adjustment before the decision takes place. The US Fed experts may turn to “dovish” rhetoric in September, which puts pressure on the dollar. Currently, inflation is slowing growth, business activity is declining, and the labor market is showing signs of cooling. The US PMI data from yesterday largely triggered an attempted bullish correction but was viewed as mixed. The price action of the US Dollar and the USDJPY will now largely depend on the Gross Domestic Product and Weekly Unemployment Claims. These will be made public at 12:30 GMT. Analysts expect the US economy to grow 2.0%. If the US GDP reading is lower than expectations, the US Dollar potentially can come under pressure. At the same time, weaker earnings data from the US can trigger higher demand for the Japanese Yen. The Yen is known as a safe haven currency alternative to the Dollar.

    • The cheat is on ! ... just sayin’.   This cycle it only needs to occur in 2 states, and in those 2 states in only 14 precincts... the organized  ‘machines’ for these cheats have been in been in place for decades... And here’s a tiny counter balance to a massive psyop narrative being perpetrated 24 7... as predicted the "entertaining ourselves to death" show is on full blast with the media re-creating Kasmella Devil as a firebrand ‘gettrdone’ kind of woman.  In reality, she is not a leader.  At work, no one wants to work for or with her or negotiate with her.  For this potus application - worse she is just a follower... a whore who is putty in the hands of the exploiters who ‘own’ her... the same ppl who owned and ‘managed’ Joe.  She is just a team member of probably the most corrupt, evil administration in history.  She is only good for regurgitating whatever narrative is handed her - until very recently how superbly fit Joe is, how the border was visited and secure, etc. etc.   She is not in charge of her vp office and duties... and now she will not even be in charge of her own party or campaign... she’s simply not sufficiently competent. As AG of CA she was a puppet who nudged along the social engineering policies that made that beautiful state the ugly mess it is today - esp the cities.   And, btw, by Willie fkng her way to the top, she has placed herself in a position where she can’t really get too deep into calling Donald a predator...cause she’s ‘paying’ as a ‘victim’ / being paid off the same way as Stormy... whoa. .. and lest you are ready to stereotype me and my positions - In my view, this election is not about preventing the decline of the USA.  That decline trajectory was established many decades ago and stabilized by the mid 1970’s.   There is no making America great again.  This election is about either hastening the end or tapping the brakes a little bit on the inevitable decline of the USA.  So - if you think her promises that the “middle class is our main priority” are real or if you think America is 1 man away from greatness again, well I have a finely designed bridge in Baltimore for sale ... best offer...
