Market Heads-UP Display

Recommended Posts

Here is a screenshot of a Market HUD. While this software is in private use and not available for sale or lease, it does demonstrate some of the power available by combining processed data feeds.

 

This application shows the market's very vital signs and completley demonstrates and reports the surges of buying and selling that propel intra-session price surges. A refreshing look at something besides the same old bar charts.

 

There are many, smart, successful traders who know that technical innovation is often a pre-cursor to trading success. The purpose of this post is to illuminate by the presentation of new concepts and technologies and to stimulate a conversation that could lead to innovation of technique rather than a contiuous re-hash of the sameO, sameO.

 

The top line shows longer term trader commitment so far that session as well as current trade flow as measured by contracts per minute.

 

The red, yellow and green bars are buy/sell signals in 11 different time frames and a are constantly changing throughout the session.

 

Blue bars on the left show the percentage of time of day normalized volume in 6 different time frames.

 

The pie charts demonstrate the buying and selling during the most recent blocks of trade and are constantly pulsing with surges of buying and selling power.

 

The price ladder in the middle shows current and recent prices.

 

The red and green bars on the right show time of session normalized trader commitment over 6 time frames.

 

The balance of trade is shown on the bottom left and price on the bottom right.

Quite interesting stuff.

I totally agree with what you mentioned about time in the other thread.

For your smoothed midpoint price chart, what are you using to plot that? Volume?

What I'm trying to eventually get to is having something that is like a constant volume chart but more along the lines of a dynamic volume chart. I really haven't been able to figure out how to do that though.

Thank You, I am glad you like our HUD. We find it very useful.

 

We favor indicators that measure buying and selling strengths as opposed to indicators calculated solely on the basis of price inputs.

 

The RSI indiator is just a smoothed ratio of price change over time.

 

The Balance of Trade indicator shows the balance, or more importantly, the imbalance between buying and selling in the current order flow.

 

RSI only measures past price changes. It is not past changes in price that motivate future prices, it is only a change in the balance of trade that will change the direction of price. An imbalance of buy orders usually preceedes a price move up and vice versa.

 

Thanks for your interest and your kind words.

 

cheers

Hey UrmaBlume, sorry for posting in all of your threads, but I find all of them very interesting. Please clarify the following for better understanding:

 

The Balance of Trade indicator shows the balance, or more importantly, the imbalance between buying and selling in the current order flow.

 

What does 'buying' and 'selling' in the current order flow mean in concrete terms (since the every trade represents a buy and sell)? When you talk about 'buying and selling', 'buying and selling strengths', 'buying and selling power', 'buying and selling surges', are you always talking about the same concept or does each of these terms mean something different?

 

What do you mean by order flow? Time & sales or the changes in the order book?

 

The reason I am asking is that many people use some of these terms but they may mean something completely different.

question on the specific situation in this Heads Up Display (HUD)... not for this particular situations importance -- just as an example of walking through a situation to understand how this HUD is organized...

 

Any comment on my comments??

While you have missed a couple of important steps, you are certainly closing in on the basic concepts.

 

Here again most of this work is based on Peter's early teachings and is, what I believe to be, another bit of technology evolved from market profile theory that better and more precisely expresses some vital bits of information than does any version of the profile graphic - N.B. Information = Equity.

    • 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.
