here, jack takes you through a particular day. lol, can you believe i don't remember if *I* was the one who compiled this or if i downloaded. it. i don't even remember which thread it comes from. someone who is better at using this blasted ET search function can say perhaps. I *think* i wrote the title of it, but can't remember.
thanks for the doc, here is the original thread... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32595&pagenumber=1
Mak, I've had an interest in IQFeed but I was disappointed to find that they do not offer market depth with their feed. Can I ask who is your primary source of DOM data? Thanks, txuk
Jack made these comments recently on another thread. I have tried several times to get a discussion going on the use of indicators ala Jack but with no luck so far. I have not seen anything except for a few comments on the Stochastics thread. Do any of you know any links to past discussions? QUOTE]Quote from Grob109: Indicators, most people think are lagging. Annotations of indicators are easily done to turn them into leading indicators. This applies to both kinds of indicators. Oscillators are the easier of the two it turns out. PUT a MARK on the MACD where the crossover will occur....really is there anyone out there using the original MACD defaults???...LOL....Do you use as an signal where the lines go from divergence to convergence??? (What does that mean???) Are you still waiting for the cross over to come up. Do you know which line is always horizontal at the time of crossover?? [/QUOTE]
nonewbie suppose to come up with answer himself, other option is some how you turn into a newbie then ask again
bars 14 and 15 really screwed me up today. on 14 we have an increase in vol. and a corresponding price increase suggesting the downwards move is coming to an end...while on bar 15 we have a decrease in vol and a price drop... how do you read this? i got +1 pt on the opening move to the high but then took a -1 on this area (my stop log was hit) i THINK i'm doing my stops correctly, because i had it placed two bars back...i saw that bar 14 was going to be > fast pace and i saw that using two bars back stop would put me out of my position so i just exited.
I mis-read this too and lost -1 on bar 15. For me it was a case of sloppy trading. I read bars 12-15 as ES congestion but I focused on the YM upward traverse. You could say I "predicted" ES would come out of the congestion on the long side. I bought when ES was at its low for the bar to that point and YM was on the RTL... just before the burst down.
my gut is telling me that only a fine sweep skillset would have kept me from losing money on the bar 14-15 trade. (and since i don't have that....) if that's the case, i'm not too worried about it. looks like a tough spot for most, shorts and longs (i had gone short on 14 and busted, you had gone long on 15 and busted). my short was taken because i saw ym increase in down volume after DU at 10:32. i don't know if the ES should have told me something prior to my stop out. (in order for me to either wash or not ever have taken the short).
Bars 14-15 got me too. The only thing I can say is that it looks like a FTT/BO immediately after the pt 3 is reached. I'm struggling though because a pt 3 is supposed to be preceded by a DU/VDU bar - and the lowest volume I have for those bars is 11.9k. Can anyone who did run these bars ok offer up their sweep sequence for comparison? Anthony
