txuk, Yep, I'm pretty sure you have more experience watching/using STR/SQU than me I've only had the Auto-FV up and running for 3 or 4 days. And as you know, these days have been pretty quiet. My average reports gradual changes throughout the day but as you pointed out, won't calibrate immediately (or maybe ever) to sudden large changes. I could tool around with this down the road if needed. Maybe I could add several new "modes" with "faster" averaging techniques. My mindset before the Auto-FV was to use my mode (1) (No FV entered) and try to train my brain by watching the spikes. I guess my mindset is still the same, even with the using Auto-FV. Regardless, I think I have to keep an eye out for sudden large changes and be prepared to manually tweak. Thanks for mentioning this. Mak, I'd be interested to hear your feedback on this. Also, I'd be very interested in learning more about your "Abstract STR/SQU", unless you deem it OT. spooz
I'm assuming you're trying to display the Premium? If so: Add the "symbol" and "value" columns Type in the symbols. Right click the symbols, go to "edit", then "symbol". Make the YM long 1 share. Make the INDU short 1 Then Right click, go to "Insert", click "Total". Then I shrink the window so all I see is the total. But if you shrink it too much you can't move it around the screen Hope that helps - EZ <Img Src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1429274>
quick check, using indexarb value it is mostly > +2 thus it's bullish so far. Anybody else has diff inpression?
At ~ 10:32, here's mine: <IMG SRC=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1429627> Notes: 1) these are 2 min bars 2) the NOW value (blue line) is basically at my FV spooz
using 68.69 value it give quite diff picture. look like I can't rely on indexarb to see the market, thnx.
Spooz, I have a general question about the Str/Squ values used in your calculations. You show 2-minute bars, but what values did you use within those two minutes? Did you use the high, low, or the last value at the time the 2-minute point was recorded. I'm having to do this in Excel since my charting program does not allow these type of custom calculations and I'm not sure which values I should be using. Thanks.
