How many time do we open outside of value?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

As usual I can't get away from my computer and stop looking at charts for longer than like 2 hours, and was starting to notice a few things. First thing I've been noticing is that the YM doesn't open outside of value very often. Am I correct in this? I've got my own data from only about 45 days back.

 

Secondly, I've been trying to see when we DO open outside of value, how often is it that if price pokes it's head into value that we end up cuising through value to the other extreme from which we entered?

 

There's been 2 scenarios that I've been noticing when YM opens outside of value.

 

1st: We never look back and trend the heck off the planet for the day and don't see previous days value again.

 

2nd: We poke into value and often end up making a move to the other end of value at some point during the day.

 

I have found few days in my little 45 days worth where we open outside of value, poke back in and finish inside of value never seeing the other end first. Sometimes it'll cruise through value, say from VAH thru to VAL and then finish up somewhere in between...

 

Maybe this is a good place for Ant to step in? :)

 

Just trying to develope some sort of trading plan for outside value days. Soul is usually great at telling if we're gonna trend in the first like 20 nanoseconds of markets' open.

 

Thanks all! Look forward to hearing some input.

Sounds like a great idea. If someone could provide me with VAL VAH values for the last couple of years I can load this into my SQL Server database and write a query and provide you with the results. We should study YM, ER and ES.

 

Let me know, I have the historical intraday data already, I just need the VAL VAH values.

I haven't tracked it with the YM as of late, but have been tracking ER's value movements from the first trading day of this year up 'till now. It's tedious for me to go back too far as I have to input all the MP values manually, but....2007 has provided every single kind of trading environment one could ask for. The first week of '07 was amazing for trendiness intraday, late January gave us rangey-trendy, and so far in Feb we've had purely rangebound markets (until Friday afternoon...that was nice).

 

For the ER...it is cruising from top to bottom (or bottom to top) of value about 54% of the time, while only 3 days this year has it not entered value from the previous day.

 

Don't know if that helps out, but it's interesting to note none-the-less.

Chris,

 

Here is what I got... Statistics are pretty consistent across index futures.

 

ES:

Number of Days: 250, Times Market Opened Outside of Value: 141 ( 56.40%), Times Price Entered Value Area: 101, Trades to Other VA Extreme: 45 ( 44.55%)

 

YM (Assuming Open at 8:20am EST):

Number of Days: 250.00, Times Market Opened Outside of Value: 132.00 ( 52.80%), Times Price Entered Value Area: 104.00, Trades to Other VA Extreme: 46.00 ( 44.23%)

 

YM (Assuming Open at 9:30am EST):

Number of Days: 249.00, Times Market Opened Outside of Value: 141.00 ( 56.63%), Times Price Entered Value Area: 101.00, Trades to Other VA Extreme: 45.00 ( 44.55%)

 

ER2:

Number of Days: 250, Times Market Opened Outside of Value: 152 ( 60.80%), Times Price Entered Value Area: 103, Trades to Other VA Extreme: 50 ( 48.54%)

No 80% like people say, though.....

 

Chris, other factors need to be taken into account when trading this. Take a look at the Value Area Rule in Mind over Markets. I would also think that the probability of penetrating the VA also increases depending on the market condition (i.e., balancing).

I completely agree...it's just that there are some people out there that seem to think it's a given that 80% of the time when price enters value it will cruise through to the other side. This isn't part of my trading plan, just a neat statistic to share :)

Very good point Ant.

Ant, I am quite impressed with your stats... is it possible to get some other stats from this database you are working with like per example: how many times when opening inside value did we fade the first test of a vah or val per x points .... something like that.... would be cool to have some stats of this kind... if its possible.... cheers Walter.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
