I just watched your video Pr0crast. That's really cool! I can see myself watching it over and over since it goes so fast. If you put up any more let me know Thanks
I am starting to experiment with AmiBroker using IB to collect 5 second ES and YM bar data. AmiBroker will allow a bar playback of both symbols simultaneously in their respective 5 and 2 minute charts windows when setup within a layout. Using 5 second data the playback step interval can be set to a low of 5 seconds and up to 1 minute and higher intervals. The playback rate can be set between 0.1 to 5 steps per second. Therefore the slowest playback in my data collection scenario will be one half of real time up to as fast as I want as the chart bars develop in 5 second data steps. (there should be a way to get this down to 1 second bar collection but I don't see how to do this yet). A cool feature is that it automatically pauses the playback when you annotate. I have been using this successfully with 1 minute bar data which is obviously a compromise, but still a good drill. I will report back after today's data collection and testing.
Can someone with good channel drawing skills please explain how we get our first channel today? I am so lost when I dont have carry over channels in play. For some reason, I have the hardest time starting the day off right on a day like today. Tia.
there are 3 carry over channels since last week, YM from 8:30-9:30 indicated open down so I picked red channel and carry on from there. Note: this is unofficial ver.
I hope you do not take offense to this NK, but I have noticed that your carry over channels arent right a good deal of the time (after reading through this thread). I took a look at your attachment though, not too sure about it. It seems you and I are still very new to this Would someone like Spyder, Mak, Procrast etc care to shed some light on the opening channel from today, and if you have a carry over channel in play, would you mind explaining that as well. Thanks guys!! CC
I have never used camtasia. Can one get a free program or do we have to buy it? I assume there are different ones to record the screen? Thanks
See attached. I created the 'burnt red' down channel using Thursday's 15:40 bar and Friday's 16:10 bar for Points One and Three. Point two fell at the Friday 10:05 bar. As such, today's low created a small volatility expansion and an FTT. More importantly, today's dominant channels (orange and green) have marked this carryover channel nearly perfectly all morning. - Spydertrader <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1366647>
Thanks for posting the chart. I guess I am missing something. That is how is the orange FTT and green FTT are FTTs. The orange fully traversed the tape. then we had a B2B on the volume afterwards. Does the B2B make this orange FTT an FTT after the fact? The green FTT s are labled on expansions of the LTL. Obviously, they fully traversed. (they are not in the green carry over channel. Perhaps I am missing the big picture here. Thanks.
I think what is screwing me up so much is I have data from yesterday from 9:30-11:25 for some reason. This makes everything out of whack. Does anyone else who uses esignal have this? Do you know how to get rid of these holiday charts? I assume for holidays, we block out that data and just work from the previous full trading day (as long as that holiday nothing really happened)?
