I'm not too fussed about the yields, just wanted quotes. Bond price up = yield down basically. So a quote for Spanish 10yr Bond would be just fine.

 

Could not find it, but for these things I usually use bloomberg .. faster and cleaner

 

SPANISH GOVERNMENT GENERIC BONDS - 10 YR NOTE Chart - GSPG10YR - Bloomberg

What lovely opex action we're getting right now!! :crap:

 

I bought 82 the last time, and when the volume insanity ensued at 84 on the next attempt (that's a "reaction" for the record), I exited half there and was out at 83 on the rest. A bit cautious about buying at this point...

Potentially an extra bit of info to make good decisions with.

 

Yeah I get that, but not sure why it needs to be in IRT and not a web browser. Doesn't matter anyway, personal preference I suppose.

 

What I would like to know is an "official" web site for the results of the spanish bond auctions. I looked at their central bank's site, but could not find it.

The sellers just struggled WAY too much below 82... three pushes, only a tick out of each. As long as 83.50 / 84 can hold, I don't see why we can't get 86.75 or even 88.75 pretty easily.

I see potential for even higher... maybe Negotiator's 92.50...

Why does the market need to form a normal distribution? On what time frame are you talking about, today only?

 

Hi Josh

Peter Steidlmayer teaches that markets move in 4 steps. New moves begin out of completed bell curves. We do not have one of those at this time as I see it taking into account the market action from yesterday at 8:30am EST. The step one trade kick off out of the completed bell curve is the most profitable and least risk trade.

My observations see that the TPO mode and HVN mode work back together often. Waiting to see if this takes place today.

My time frame at present is observing the 15 minute profile development together with 15 minute indicators chart. Also very aware of the larger composite picture.

Yes slick, I've heard from him (and others) as well -- can you give an example of how this scenario occurred at another time? The problem I've had with this idea is that markets are not normally distributed; so, we have to look for time periods to draw the profile such that they are distributed, and it seems a bit arbitrary to me. So, looking for some clarification on this concept if you have some ideas.

lol... but I'd rather make a profit while sleeping, instead of being chopped, while being excited... :stick out tongue:

 

lol, this is true -- but I am more profitable today so far than I was yesterday -- days like yesterday are the worst for me.

My post 3461 yesterday shows a couple examples

For me, balance forms and balance breaks. Once there is an indication that balance is forming, it can continue or quickly break out. If it continues, it is likely to bring in more traders playing the balance. As it saturates or "matures", there is a greater chance that when it does break, the move to explore new prices will be more substantial. After all, there's no reason why range can't expand to some extent to swallow up nearby important prices.

 

A break doesn't necessarily occur totally because the profile is complete, but more because the balance is mature. The longer the balance matures, the greater the chances are of it breaking- naturally.

 

But a complete profile can show a mature balance :)

Hi The Negotiator

Would it not depend on what time frame you are in? What your trade objective might be?

I see a lot of a few ticks trades and if that is the game then balance and maturity can be earlier than one looking to sleep on a position overnight. Watching upon completion to see if the move out of the bell curve balance takes place with conviction is wise. And I certainly do agree that the range can extend to a maturity of longer time frame.

Since I read and studied Peter and Robin it has given me more confidence upon the entry. Also Peter is now teaching volume strip analysis which I tie into the HVN somewhat. Makes sense. Someone just committed a lot of money to the move. Maybe wise to go with them. I would love to be able to evaluate the quality of the money coming in at the time.

Yeah of course. The market is made up of many different sizes of balance and depending on your objectives, the balances which you choose to play (or how long you choose to play them for) may differ.

That means you like to fade moves more?

 

I had a nice profit during globex session but gave it all (and more) back this morning :( ... talking about "balance", I am waiting for a breakout of this consolidation to get back in...

I do have that tendency but do not do it as much as I used to.

 

Yesterday I was long and after scaling had a BE stop at 73. The market ticked to 71.75, and then began its move up. At that point I was waiting for a pullback to enter but the strength was so much that I just watched all day. Not saying it's good, but it's what I did.

      The main goal of this thread is to show what Power Trades is and how it works in different markets. We will show some patterns on the ES and NQ futures, as well as discuss possible improvements to this functionality.
      What is Power Trades?
      Ok, first we will consider what the Power Trades is and how it finds zones.
      Power Trades shows the zones with the execution of a large number of orders in a very short time, which will affect the price change with a high probability.
      Here are a few examples of how it looks like


      How it finds zones?
      There is a continuous process of placing, changing and executing orders in the market. All this affects the price change and the expectations of traders regarding the future price.
      When a large order appears at a certain level, the price is more likely to come to this order and it will be executed because the market is always looking for levels with liquidity. This already applies to the order flow and the mechanics of orders matching, so we will omit the principles on which the orders are matched.
      It is only important to understand that "abnormal events" occur in the market at certain times. Execution of a significant volume of orders in a very short time is one of such events.
      The Power Trades Scanner has several important settings that directly affect the results:

      Total Volume — the minimum value of the volume that should be traded during the specified time interval
      Time Interval, sec — the time over which the Total Volume should be traded
      Basis Volume Interval, sec — this parameter shows how much % took the traded volume in the total volume for the specified time.
      Zone Height, ticks — this parameter will show only those zones where the height is less than or equal to the specified value (in ticks).
      Level2 level count — the number of levels that are involved in the calculation of Imbalance and the Level 2 Ratio column in the table of results.
      Filter by Delta,% — the parameter will show zones that have a delta value greater than or equal to that specified in the setting. The value must be specified by the module, so the table will show both positive and negative delta values. We recommend paying attention to the zones with the delta above 50% (taking into account the specifics of each trading instrument).
      For example, let's set the Total Volume of 2000 contracts and Time Interval in 3 seconds on the E-mini SP500 futures. This means that the scan will be based on the available history and will show on the chart only those zones that have such a volume for the specified time.

      Additionally, it is worth to set a delta value to filter out the zones with one-side trades. The more delta value, the high probability that the price will reverse.

      So, as a starting point about this scanner, I think this information will be enough

      Hi everyone,
      This is my maiden analysis using volume profile - so please don't hesitate to share your feedback.
      As per the attached analysis, I think that SPY is primed for a short - for many reasons
      - Multiple strong rejection of long positions exist at Resistance R1 and R2 : seems like sellers defending their positions
      - Very strong short volume seen at R2 : further signifying sellers who are ready at that level
      However, once the price reaches Support S1, there seems to be a strong buying sentiment which has rejected previous shorts. You can see trading ranges & pullbacks to S1 where buyers and sellers seem to agree on a price range, often leading to a buyer dominance.
      What do you think?
