This may or may not be a tall order. A/D is easy to capture programming wise, however it takes some time at arriving at what is the suitable picture framework that is readily processed by the trader and also caters to programming. It turns out that a chart of sorts of the DOM and its DEPTH can kill about half a dozen birds with a single stone/sweep. Since, I do the majority of my legwork in VB, I won't know until I've got the polished version topped off. The A/D stuff will be snapshot-like (ie. think of a flip book scrolling at a regular interval). AGAIN, I have found myself arriving at the same picture that GROB109 describes wrt the convenience of MARKETDEPTH's snapshotting which is different from it's quote screen which is realtime. Unlike GROB109, I had to use a bit more context than the immediate snapshot to verify the derivative of both variables... Hopefully, others will find it just as nice to see... Regards, MAK
Thank You MAK. I've read this entire thread and the previous one. It's quite amazing to see everything coming together. With real time visuals at that!!! One thing that had been bugging me was what the acronym SCT stood for. Finally found out. It was like the name you can't remember that drives you nuts. SCT - Seamless Continuous Trading What a concept!!! All this stuff gets me pumped. Soon IMO volatility will be back and like nothing ever seen. New market highs will create wealth like never seen. Much of that money will be put back to work in the markets. That's where we'll come in ;-) Dancing like it's 1999....
Market highs soon yes - in short run but in the medium run (1-3 years) will be much more likely... Crying Like 1929...
After being a pessimist for six decades I am actually becoming optomistic about the future. With China and India climbing on the free enterprise bandwagon and only a tiny portion of the world under the control of idiots I dont see any real deterrent to a free and peaceful world. There will be a lot of trouble with the islamic extremists but nothing like the world wars and eventually they will adjust to reality. 99.99% of people in the world just want to work and raise a family and this fact will win out, I believe.
Great post Easy!!! My seminents exactly. Who knows what the market will do day-to-day? Long term is definitely up looking through my glasses. The beauty of it is we can make money up or down with very little margin trading the e-minis....Up this late trying to configure a new computer on dial-up. The rose colored glasses are turning a different color now ;-)
Need some more help guys. I want to do the sqeeze/stretch on the ESvsSPX also. I am hoping I would just have to make some symbol changes in the first sq/st exl Mak provided using ES and spcash instead of ym/indu. Any input would be appreciated.
The future will demonstrate two major themes that have not as yet hit the publishing and media et al... The universal acceptance of the corporate form for ownership throughout the world. Templates willl abound and show ranges of variation...but at some point they will become part of family planning universally. This is the stuff that indexes are made of. Exchanges for handling the stock of all these enterprises will be abundant and localized an globalized. SCT does work universally as well. Secondly, the institutionalizing of the direct, indirect, implied (inferred) and substitution effect, econometrically speaking, will be at play with two unusual and not previously experienced effects: a lack of a statistically significant substitution component and very high rates of time compression. The magnitude and growth of this capital profit making stream will create a class of practitioner people who will have great influence on streamlining solution to the well being of the world. Long ago the need for a full employment society went by the boards. Spending newly available spare (non employment) time wille be the basis of a mega and diverse industry, all capitalized by public funds from previously established wealth. The past waves of global change have been ever larger and more and more frequent. Actually today the waves of diverse unconnected changes overlap. Most have retension. Now we can move personal capital at the speed of light. Some members of the Tucson group are exceeding the ET estimates, finally. Just local people can form connections and creme the market opportunities continually. It is amazing to see people considering natural cycles ranging between 25% and 100%. Since our meeting spacing exceeds the natural cycle by a factor of two, e get to see people pulling money out of the market at rates of 50% per meeting. SCT trading is more beneficial as this thread acknowledges almost daily. The innovation in this thread is a precise example of the natural process of iterative refinement and transference. One of the most powerful aspects of refinement is that it also breaks new ground as well as can be seen here. The deepening and broadening of the opportunity is underway, clearly. Just do it.
Time to franchise it, pyramid it, time-share it, leverage it, option it, and write futures on it. We are all going to get rich taking in each others' laundry. "The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades!"
I think I got it working but I wont know until the market opens. The one thing Im still not sure about is the stretch/squeeze values to put into B10-B12, the nuetral/ offset. I dont know how Mak determines this value which is 9 for ym/indu. This is on the original str/squ excel, not the later combo sheets. I may be able to figure it out after it starts running.
