Sean,

 

Maybe you figured this out by now but will reply just in case. If you look at the code you’ll see that the TapeBidAsk measures the balance of VolumeAtBid and VolumeAtAsk not raw volume. There are indicators posted which will display the balance of raw upVol and dnVol if that’s what you need.

 

hth,

thanks

 

cane you post link for balance of raw upVol and dnVol

 

sean

 

sean,

 

Take a look at OnBalanceVolume indicator.

(Preference option: run one of the low lag ma s through the obv with a very short length. Benefits: fewer false starts, less jiggle. Drawbacks: lags the raw by about one bar.)

 

Plus check out KlingerGoslin. I talked with one trader who uses nothing but price, KGI, and trendlines and divergence on the KGI. Also,Trend39 incorporates it well into his methods and has a long running thread in the TS Library about the use of divergence with this indicator…

Please see attached chart. This comes from the free video that TradeTheMarkets puts out every night. They're selling, for $499, an indicator which they call "TTM Delta Divergence". It looks suspiciously like the bid-ask indicator that is shown on this thread. Are they the same? Are Hubert Senters and John Carter selling, for nearly five hundred dollars, an indicator that's free on Traders Lab? Or is there some difference?

Dear Taz,

They supposedly licensed their indicator from Market Delta who charges even more for it. The TL version is a close knockoff of MD's version. The TTM version has the advantage of an alarm when divergence occurs and one color for a bullish divergence and another color for a bearish divergence.

 

Other than that, they are awfully alike. I actually like the MD version better as it places a signal above or below the price bar. But, no big deal.

 

What would be great on the TL version is the ability to set an alarm. I don't know if this is possible yet.

It looks pretty much an exact copy, if you let me know what the parameters are for the divergence, I'll code it up so it will put an alert on. I should also be able to code it up so it will place a dot above/below price bar if you want.

 

$499..................they're having a laugh.

 

The funny thing is, I like watching Hubert's videos, but when he's suddenly started saying " This is an indicator I've been secretly using......." just before a seminar with the relevant people, for example:

 

the DDF indicator just before the seminar with John Clayborg and now he's right into market delta just before............you guessed it.

 

Cheers

That would be so cool Blu and very appreciated. The idea of the divergence is to look for negative delta as a bar makes a new high, indicating more aggressive sellers are coming in. And vice versa at new lows - more aggressive buying is entering the market as a bar makes a new low.

 

This indicator is most useful as price hits a new HOD or LOD or a new high or low in a current major swing.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Bryan

Yeah, thanks blu ray. Looking forward to seeing your results.

 

Can anyone provide information or a link to the conceptual premise behind this indicator and how it might be used? I'm looking at the attached jpg files and it's not clear to me what's going on.

 

I think the guys over at TTM did a free seminar on "market delta" this week which seems very similar to this indicator. Does anyone have the link to the recording?

 

Thanks.

Hi Ive been trying to convert this to TS 2000i. I cannot get it to verify.

 

Can someone suggest what the trouble maybe with lines like

 

Intrabarpersist Mycurrentbar(0), which comes up as expecting "(" or word not recognised?

 

thanks

dovetree,

 

I doubt 2000i has intrabarpersist. See if it will 'compile' with that word removed...

Hi Zdo, Thanks, Ive tried that and verification gets past those terms but obviously there are other terms that are not recognized by 2000i, the next one is "bartype".

 

thanks

 

Dovetree

 

Try this instead of bartype:

 

"if (DataCompression < 2) then"

 

Hope this helps

dovetree,

I'm pretty sure 2000i only has time interval bars so isolate and eliminate the code that applies to bartype

MyVol = Iff(BarType < 2, Ticks, Volume); is just going to be

MyVol = Volume;

 

…And if 2000i doesn’t have InsideBid and InsideAsk, I think you’re hosed

Right here goes for the Delta Divergence:

 

It's based on the High of Day and Low of Day, I've also coded it with the alerts to fire off when a divergence appears.

 

Note: when testing it today, Alerts were really annoying within the first 15-30 minutes of the day, as they kept firing off when the market is finding it's range. ( Maybe that was my fault because I was testing it on 5 different symbols ;) )

 

Also coded it up into a "Show Me", so it will plot a dot with the relevant color when a divergence appears. However, I've coded this one up to fire off as soon as the next bar starts. As what would happen, it would plot a dot when divergence started to appear within a bar, but by the time the bar finished and there was no divergence the dot would still be there.

 

Hope this helps

Note: to anyone unfamilar with this indicator, it will only work on LIVE data ( not historical ).

 

Oh......I nearly forgot, don't forget to send in your $499 to TL ;), so we can split the money :rofl: ( a comment made by Hubert in the webinar )

Hi Blue ray, Zdo,

 

thanks the datacompression worked but as zdo suspected insidebid insideask is not 2000i compatible.

 

Zdo 2000i is capable od using ticks so im not sure that we are done yet.

 

thanks for the help

What about just using pure volume, rather than bid/ask data. If that's any good for you, just let me know and I can sort it out tomorrow if you want.

 

Cheers

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
