    PL,

    What do you use the wavy blue/red line below the histogram for? What is it?

    Thanks

  3. The histogram is the confirmation of the immediate direction of price and the wavy blue/red line below the histogram is the Ergodic. I only use it to define the Trend. I only use Trend to show me the overall strength of THAT particular chart.

    Thanks, I thought the histogram was the ergodic. What is it? another faster one?

    Such nice charts.

    Thanks

  5. Thanks.
    The histogram is simply an incrementally faster version of the exact same indicator settings.
    Quieting the noise is all about eliminating the tangible inconsistencies & variables.
    Just like a high end luxury car . . . you want a smooth ride.

  6. I hope you are not from that website. They are clueless when it comes to actually making it work. Avoiding posting some losses, etc. Yes, I have been on the site in the past...

  7. I don't suppose you want to share your settings with us, do you?

    They must be awfully high ergodic settings for it to be that smooth over so many bars. At 343 volume bars on the ES... that's an awfully huge chart too, actually :D

  9. I think I see what you're referring to. Looks like the cumulative ask volume was a little more than twice the cumulative bid volume? Is that what you are referring to?

  10. Lately the 343 is way too fast. The 2401 is what I use in these markets for entry/exit decisions, the 16807 for trading direction decisions and finally the 117649 for my overall strength decisons.

    When it all compliments each other . . . watch out.

    The Ergodic is a great indicator but the way it is created within each software package is different. I use a 49/147/49 settings(Ave 1/Ave 2/ Ave) for all markets and all increments and use MultiCharts. My programmer could probably give you a better explanation but he won't even speak to his wife.
