CL Gap Down?

Recommended Posts

My charts are showing a massive gap down in CL 4/10. From 81.10 to 79.60's. And it's saying the gap down happened on 3/14..as in Saturday. What the heck? I verified the chart with a friend of mine and he's showing the same thing.

 

a $1.00 gap down? On a Saturday? What am I missing?

Hi Jon,

Ninja w/zenfire.

 

Just emailed Zen trying to figure out what the heck this phantom data is all about ha. It's messing up my charts.

I have had some of these issues also in the past weeks with Zenfire (Rithmic) feed........#*&@%^$!

 

 

More reasons why I will be moving over to the TradeVec platform/charting in the weeks ahead through Vcap Futures.....slowly but surely, account by account, should be all transferred over within the next 60 to 90 days (as I complete separate various longer term trades I still have running in NT).

I see the Saturday data using Zen-fire, but I do not see it on my IB feed or my Transact Feed in Sierra. My guess is that there was some funny stuff related to daylight savings - perhaps a server test gone wrong? That is just conjecture, of course. But Zen is the only feed I have where 3/13 data showing is present.

 

When Globex opens, go to properties and set include weekend data to false. I may be mistaken, but doing so should remove the 3/13 data and allow the proper Globex trade data through.

 

 

Best Wishes,

Care to share how you managed to do that?

A very complex process of...just ignoring the data. Haha, as long as I know the trades didn't happen I will just have a pesky gap there, but that will be gone in a few days. I tried to exclude the weekend, but that eliminates some of the current valid PA. No big deal, the main thing was making sure the data was just a misfire.

I was bumped off zen-fire and I've been unable to re-connect for the last hour. Not that it matters much - unless zen-fire removes the bad data I'll probably just use Sierra for the week.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

    • 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.
