"Market Delta" Footprint for TradeStation

Recommended Posts

The problem is that my testing shows that TS & MC are not the best platforms for this type of work. In a nutshell the mechanisms they use to get bid and ask (insidebid,insideask) do not return the data synchronously. They return the current bid and ask not the value that occurred at the time of the tick that you are processing.

Hi swisstrader,

 

I see your indicator, but there is not the footprint like the code on this post.

 

Are there any difference with indicator of Home in real time value?

 

My best

 

The indicators here posted is without database, means if you make a reset in your chart all data are deleted. My code is with saving of inside bid and inside ask values on your PC and recall them during a reset.

 

BidAskDelta

 

Best regards,

On markets like the FDAX there are a lot of trades TS reports between insidebid and insideask. How does your code handle this? Do you look if the trade before was on bis/ask or do you ignore these?

Here is my data base subroutine, I think, every trade is saved into the data base, also trades between the spread of inside bid and inside ask.

 

VolumeCache = MapNN.Get.dBase(Cache,1);
LastC_Cache = MapNN.Get.dBase(Cache,2);
Index = BaseIndex + (CloseOfData-OpenOfData)/TickSize;
if InsideBid < InsideAsk then begin
if CloseOfData <= InsideBid then begin
	CurrBidVol = MapNN.Get.dBase(BidVolume,Index) + TicksOfData - VolumeCache;
	N = MapNN.Put.dBase(BidVolume,Index,CurrBidVol);
end else
if CloseOfData >= InsideAsk then begin
	CurrAskVol = MapNN.Get.dBase(AskVolume,Index) + TicksOfData - VolumeCache;
	N = MapNN.Put.dBase(AskVolume,Index,CurrAskVol);
end else begin
	if CloseOfData <= LastC_Cache then begin
		CurrBidVol = MapNN.Get.dBase(BidVolume,Index) + TicksOfData - VolumeCache;
		N = MapNN.Put.dBase(BidVolume,Index,CurrBidVol);
	   end else begin
		CurrAskVol = MapNN.Get.dBase(AskVolume,Index) + TicksOfData - VolumeCache;
		N = MapNN.Put.dBase(AskVolume,Index,CurrAskVol);
	end;
end;
BidAskDelta = MapNN.Get.dBase(AskVolume,Index) - MapNN.Get.dBase(BidVolume,Index);
N = MapNN.Put.dBase(CacheABD,Index,BidAskDelta);
end;
VolumeCache = 0;
LastC_Cache = CloseOfData;

 

 

BTW; this code is from 2007, a little bit time ago :)

Thanks for the clarification. With the equality sign at CloseOfData <= LastC_Cache we have a slight bias to the bid side.

Did you compared the results with the original Marketdelta program?

 

You will never get the same results exclude you have for both platforms teh same data feed of SAME server of data feed. I went to MarketProfile nad VolumeProfilee to have footprints of market based on POC's and VirginPOC's. With Market Distribution I get always the sufficient exact result for s/r levels to trade them.

Thats it's great solution. If I use iqfeed and I open the cart at 10.00, iqfeed do tick sync backfilling, does iqfeed close eventually the gap of your database?

 

COuld we do somethin using quotemanager database without built a own database solution?

As far I know the QM saves the really traded volume but not on what side of orderbook the size was traded. My code saves it in teh database.

OK I just want to know if i lost connection your indicator package fills the gaps?

ALso what kind of database do you use: mysql, sql express...etc?

 

1. Lost connection = no data = nothing to save in the dBase

 

2. ELCollections data base as txt files

Using the backfilling of iqfeed or of the feed tradestation why you can not fill the gap?

Is it possible make that when in txt file there is a hole el get data from database?

The effort to code this in relation to the effect (how often occurs a disconnection to the data provider) stands in no rattio. Buy it, code it for yourself or let it be.

BTW, IMHO the Market Profile ® and Volume Profiles give your good enough signals to trade successfully instead of the footprints made by Market Delta.

    • 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.
