Jack uses Line charts. I use candlestick charts. My individual daily monitoring charts are the same size as the screen shots I post on ET. However, when drawing channels, I increase the size in order to make drawing the trendlines easier. For as long as I have owned the web site, I have never had a problem staying under the maximum server space. However, due to the extraordinary size of these video files, I cannot host all files at the same time. Even after breaking up the files into smaller pieces, each part runs about 50 mega-bytes. The files in question exceed the Elitetrader.com maximum size for attachment to posts. As a result, I needed to upload them onto my web site for distribution. If you download the files onto your own hard drive, you'll always have them available to you. Once the new Hershey Web site approaches completion, all files will be available from one location for anyone to download. I simply wanted to distribute the files earlier to those with an interest. - Spydertrader
These are not special. I'm trying to learn to use the second derivitive of price and volume, and for GES it worked well as it has worked well with other stocks I've traded with it. I posted some TASR trades I made last week using these indicators. THe math is simple: The second derivitive is the difference of a difference and I smooth using the Tillitson T3 algorithm. I do treat intraday volume differently as I look at the ratio of the volume of the intraday bar divided by the average for that intraday bar. Bars1 and the last bar of the day have the most volume. Attached is a chart of GES showing the average intraday volume by bar: The formula I use for the second derivitives are: Price: factor = 390/barinterval dif = 100*factor*(close - close[1])/close[1] smoothed second derivitive = T3(dif-dif[1], 6, 0.7) Volume: I use Bar's Volume/Avg Bar Volume instead of the close. Hope this helps. If you use Tradestation, PM me and I'll send you my code. Doug
Here is a chart of TIE (I believe it has some followers) showing the PV relationship and how intraday trades could have been made using the 2nd derivitive of volume. Wish I had seen this one yesterday Doug
Spyder, The avi links B-F are broken it seems. Is there a mirror site, or could you post them again? Best Regards Ron
Just a suggestion for you Spyder, I recently discovered a program called Limewire, which is a peer to peer file sharing program, people use it to download mp3's, but it can also be used to download docs and video. I found the program to be unintrusive, no bundled software or spyware that I can tell. Its relatively easy to use and I thought it would be a simple solution to sharing large files. No limit apparently to file size. All you would have to do is list the name of the file here, and we would search and download it on Limewire. If you try it search for a doc called Trends and Pace, that will come from my computer. Hope this will make things easy for you.
I haven't uploaded files B - F yet. I'll begin to upload these files Monday evening. I wanted to give everyone who may not regularly visit these discussions an opportunity to download the currently available files before I began replacing the files with the huge .avi file (in seven parts). Sometime Monday evening, I plan to have parts B, C & D available for download. Later this week, I'll upload E, F & G. - Spydertrader
