[Supply Vs Demand At Key Pivots]

Recommended Posts

This is a new strategy that I designed today on anticipating breakouts from key pivots. This is a momentum play and not to be mistaken with a homerun trade strategy. I exit at the first sign of momentum loss. The indicator used in this video is located in the indicator forum. It is a Bid-Ask Pressure Indicator for Tradestation.

Thanks for the video, Soul.

I have a couple comments on that indicator, as I have used it extensively in the past several months.

I have also corresponded with the developer of it on the TS forums, and made inquiries to TS directly regarding it.

 

Here is the bottom line:

As anything, whether or not it can be helpful in your trading is entirely dependent on your application of it. One very important thing you need to realize about it, though, is that it is a CHART indicator in TS. Why is that important? Because in TS Time & Sales, Matrix, and Radar, the bid/ask volumes are true and accurate in real time. HOWEVER, the charting element in TS does NOT get true bid/ask detail per-trade data. It gets "snapshot" data. This was explained to me by a TS support person on the telephone about 2 years ago when I tried to use TS's own indicator they included beginning with TS 8 called "bid/ask volume ratio". I tried to make use of that indicator in real time, and it wqas extremely erratic. Now this newer version coded by a TS user includes some smoothing of the bid/ask volume data and some other tweaks intended to improve its accuracy and efficiency, but it is important to remember that in real time, the indicator makes use of "snapshot" data, not true, live bid/ask volume data. The TS support personactually said he wished that TS had not even included the bid/ask volume ratio indicator in TS 8 for this very reason, because the chart plots can be, in a word, unreliable. Obviously, as Soul just demonstrated, the indicator CAN be useful, and its developer and I also agree that it has *some* merit, but you just need to be aware of the nature of the data it is built on. This has more impact the shorter the time frame you are using, as the odds increase that the "snapshot" data it is built on are not valid representations of shorter time-frame changes in the TRUE data. I was told that these "snapshots" are taken "every few seconds", for whatever that is worth. In personal use, I have found its optimum usefulness to be on a 2-3 minute time frame (or its equivalent if you use tick/volume charts), and had never considered monitoring it only around pivots, which is a great idea. Hope this clarifies the subject matter a bit.

Thanks for clearing it up wrines. I will spend some time observing this indicator and will keep you posted if I find any further insights. I tried using it in two occasions yesterday, one of which I used it to trade. I will explain further once I am convinced this indicator can help.

 

Note: Should never be used alone. The indicator should be used as confirmation only.

indicator forum? Soul I am lost to where it can be found. Can you be more specific, I am clueless. Thanks. Looks like the MarketDelta but for some reason it stopped working for me. I would rather have this bid ask pressure indicator as better visual. Thanks for the shared video.

    • Date: 13th September 2024. Market Update – Gold reached new record high; USD plummets; Oil 2% higher. Trading Leveraged Products is risky Asia & European Sessions:   Trading remained choppy as the markets continued to assess data and Fed rate cut risks amid uncertainties over the economy. US data points released on Thursday were in line with a 25 bps cut from the FOMC next week, with Chair Powell likely to again stress the path remains data dependent. The increase in unemployment claims and a slight rise in August’s producer price index left room for the Fed to consider more aggressive cuts. However, the components relevant to the Fed’s preferred inflation measure remained subdued. The ECB cut rates -25 bps as widely expected. While the general expectation is for another -25 bp easing to help sustain a soft landing, there is still an undercurrent for a -50 bp cut next week. A WSJ article noting that Fed policymakers are debating -25 bps versus -50 bps helped give Treasuries a boost late in the day after hotter than expected PPI weighed early on. A small rise in jobless claims also provided some support. Gold reached a record high, about 25% up this year, driven by the Fed’s moves towards monetary easing. Investors also scaled back expectations of another ECB rate cut next month, after the ECB lowered rates on Thursday. Additionally, central bank purchases, heightened demand for safe-haven assets due to conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, and growing interest from retail investors have fueled the metal’s rally. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex dropped to 100.64 and is weaker against its G10 peers, with the exception of CHF and CAD. Yen retested once again December’s highs, at 140.63 level. Wall Street rallied after a mixed start, with the NASDAQ advancing another 1%, while the S&P500 was up 0.75%, and the Dow was 0.58% higher. Gold prices marked new record highs to $2570 per ounce as shorts cover. Crude oil prices are up 1.05% at $68.68 per barrel due to dollar weakness, risk -on tone and disruption in crude production. Hurricane Francine’s landfall in southern Louisiana on Wednesday led to the shutdown of offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and disrupted refinery operations. The overall bearish tone remains intact, though, and the IEA’s monthly report only added to fears that a slowdown in demand will lead to a supply overhang and continue to weigh on prices.
