Value Area for DIA

Recommended Posts

Hello, I just started trading DIA and was wondering if there is a website that publishes the MP levels? The YM on mypivots.com is obviously way off.

 

Also, where is a good place to get the volume info for the DIA? I use esignal.

 

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi there,

 

Out of curiousity, are you trading options on the DIA intraday? Or the actual shares? And why not trade the futures?

 

Anyhow...the levels for tomorrows trading are :

 

VAH - 126.65

POC - 126.53

VAL - 126.41

I am trading the actual ETF shares.

I trade at a prop firm and just started getting into the indices after the NYSE went hybrid. Starting out with the ETF and then once I have a proven strategy will go to futures.

 

Thanks for the levels, is there anyplace I can get them daily like mypivots.com?

esignal pro. I did some reading in this MP forum and came across some esignal studies but I didn't understand what the heck to do with them or what they were for.

 

Just a newbie coming up the ranks!

Oh :) sounds cool. I don't know anything about esignal, so hopefully someone will be able to lend a hand. Also...remember that a proven strategy on an ETF may or may not work the same on the futures. Strategies that work on the Russell futs don't work the same on the DOW futs....so something to take into consideration.

Thanks guy, I am pretty familiar with esignal but if I use the standard volume bars wont it give me more of a range of price per volume which is less accurate or is this the way people do it by hand? What time increment should I use for the volume bars to get the best representation for the MP?

1min, 2min, 100Tick?

TinGull, those levels you gave me for the DIA worked amazingly well.

As soon as it broke VAH it tanked and I made a quick 15points!

Thanks!

 

But I have a question. I have YM quotes and put the mypivots.com MP levels on that chart which was at different times on the chart patter,

For example on the DIA price bounced off VAH (levels TinGull gave me) before going down, whereas on the YM #F and levels from mypivots the prices ripped through this level then came back and retraced to it before heading down.

Now, to me this looks like an edge knowing the YM penetrated that level whereas DIA hadnt yet. Knowing the YM was heading lower I could simply short DIA once it goes below the VAH because YM already did. Is this common or is this an anomaly. This is my 1st day looking at this.

 

Also, how correct are the mypivots.com MP levels and are they for the YMH7 or YM #F. TinGull, are your YM levels the same as mypivots.com?

 

Thanks in advance! It was a great day trading with these MP levels.

I know it's a lot of questions but there is a lot I am thinking about after noticing this reaction.

Hey Jonathan,

Great to hear they worked for you. My levels always differ from mypivots.com. I'm not sure how he gets his levels, but I dont always find them to be as accurate.

 

Look at these levels today, and see what happens...

 

VAH - 127

POC - 126.92

VAL - 126.64

 

Best of luck to you

 

Chris

    • 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.
