The Close of a Bar is Meaningless

Recommended Posts

If we are talking a highly traded market (such as ES) and on a 5 minute basis or above then the close, on most bars on a reputable data providor such as Genesis, esignal, TradeStation etc, should be the same, scrubbed or not.

Patuca, you still do not get it, and it is a very simple concept. BH sums it up nicely:

 

The timeframe is a discrete structure arbitrarily imposed on continuous data.

...

If you don't "get it" from this post, then you should probably give up, because it really doesn't matter too much anyway . . .

(why do i get the feeling that i will regret ever posting this...i wonder?:doh: )

 

because ... weil es ist dumm :rofl: ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...suppose each of us created our own close. oh wait - we already do that now...

…still darkness forever :)

 

Everything to the left on your chart is free information but it only includes as many closes as there are ticks in everything to the left on your chart...be careful how many closes you include to the left.

 

...and every market does currently have just one bar - on a timeframe that is the life of the instrument... and that timeframe is no more or less ludicrous than any other timeframe / representation in use...

Suppose there was no close, then it would be just one bar on every market,

just think about it, darkness forever! :wtf:

 

If there were no close... then everyone would be trading naked... ;)

Each daily bar is mathematically connected.I have done the research and continue the research.You can debate it all you want,but i can take the most obscure index ,and there are hundreds and i will find the same thing because it is universal.We can't agree on that because i am not going to demonstrate it.

But the clue is today's high will be on the daily bar.5 minute bar,hourly bar,same for the low,open and close.

the "hidden" knowledge of misubishi...ok how much do you want to reveal this knowledge? moderator please put a big golden C under mitzy handle...

 

now mitzy if the last sentence were true you wouldn't have blown 6 accounts (per your own words) and you certainly would not be on a forum debating with the likes of patuca...why you would be so filthy rich nobody could get you clean again...why you could stake everyones account on TL...if you are such a nice person..why don't you just do that?

 

vibrations .......come on ...give me a break......

 

ps mitsubishi's new handle is "the revibrator" :missy:

The definitive answer appears to be that there is no definitive answer:) WRONG

..................

On the other hand many of you will be trading the same levels as me having arrived at that price by another method.The only definitive answer is that we will never get universal agreement on this,but that won't change the maths which occurs waaaay beyond chance or coincidence.

 

thats cleared it up for me!

I am vibrating in the apartment as my clothes are spinning mercilessly in the washing machine......if i shake enough the random forces of nature might make me depress the buy button.....or maybe the sell button.......

 

if there is madness in the method but it works go for it....

 

and yes Patucca, maybe its time to bring participation in a meaningless meandering thread to a close....thanks for the reminder.

Good traders have a knave doing their laundry.

 

The close is NOT meaningless.

 

24 hour dynamics aside, the close is a bookkeeping entry.

 

HOWEVER, it is a price point that can be used to influence. To keep participants "in". Over the weekend for example.

 

It is the ONE price the public "looks at". It is the price most less nimble institutions "look at".

The thread is called "The Close of a Bar is Meaningless," and the first few posts point out that the settlement at the end of the day is an altogether different story.

From the replies in all these ~30 pages, it appears your earnest effort to carefully structure the content and wording of your original question did not matter one bit …

:confused::roll eyes:

 

joshdance, would you share (if you have time and energy) if you’ve ‘learned’ anything valuable re your original question from the replies in the thread …and what.

...and do you still have questioning re the topic? Thanks.

I would say so, catalyzed by your last unintelligible 27 posts in 4 days (out of 65 posts). Rubbish to sort through, and a waste of server space.
LOL dreamer of staggered time frames. you still don't get it eh. they don't exists. period. anything that does exists such as OHLC ...statistics (for mr horseshoe) patterns...etc...etc...etc are all structures imposed upon the data feed of price and volume or that come out of, or result from the feed, but what you brain can't get is that that doesn't make them meaningless.. is the high meaningless? is the low meaningless? if one is meaningless then perhaps they all are as they come from the same source..do you get it now??

 

actually the problem is the high and low vibrate but the close doesn't..LOL:haha:

Gee Josh, thanks for the distinction!!!!!!!!!!!

 

In fact there is NO close of a bar. Hinges upon the timeframe of selection and the platform used.

 

 

I just realized WHY I haven't been "here" for months.

The close has significant power and may be magnified on multiples if within the same direction. The period in which the close falls on has significance, for example, you have a 30 day close and you have the end of the month close, "the close of the bar is meaningless.... EXCEPT... no exceptions , like saying a fib is meaningless... EXCEPT.

 

The close of any bar carries direction and algorithmic adjustment.

 

Lets give the micro bar close of a lesser power , yet deserves a power. Everything has a power force that ultimately reflects in the market, right down to the prediction of weather. A tick up or down has meaning, may the annual close carry a higher power. currently compiling countIF formulas on multi time frames. this is imo.

After all of these posts, covering everything that could be said on this issue, some don't get the distinction made (and why) between a daily bar and a minute-based one?! Oy... And now new posters clearly didn't read anything earlier (though, I guess, who can blame them!)

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • 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.
