A gap overnight can be considered "one big long bar" , like you'll see in tick charts. I think the mass majority of people only pay attention to regular hours, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I just add up the rows nearest the middle and spread out until I reach roughly my 70% target number. The POC is somewhere within this value area and should be the longest line and normally in the center, but not necessarily. If there is a tie, I personally use...

You could conclude the market is not accepting of these higher prices ... but the more likely culprit is snow.. locals make up 50% of daily volume

Try moving that +1.5 move to BE + .25 so it won't turn out a loser. When entering a trade, you should have a good enough entry, where you know exactly what price you want to be out at and what price you expect the trade to go. A filter to taking the trade is having a 1:1 risk reward ratio or...

To calculate value area, you count the number of total TPOs for that day and find 70% of that. So, there are 100 TPOs (letters) for that day, you would look for the 70 TPOs that are closest to the middle of the bell curve ... on a normal day. It doesn't always work out to perfect numbers...

I think Nison's page offers it for some amount of monthly fee.

Question for you. If the range of a 30 min TPO is 850.75 to 845.25 , do you post it on your spreadsheet as 851 to 845 or 850 to 846 ? and if you have two prices with the same length bar, both near the middle of the range .. which one would you consider the POC ?

Backtesting longer assures that you're not merely curve fitting numbers based on how the past two months work. It gives the system some merit for possible predictive value if it has shown success through all different kinds of markets.

For example: I enter a long at 900 with a profit target at 901 and a stop at 899. My profit target is entered (right after I get in the trade) as a sell limit 901 , stop is a stop market 899. My question is, what do you do when the trade reaches your profit target (901), trades a few...

Unlessyou're generating 100+ trades.. 2 months is a very small sample to be backtesting on. Nevertheless, if a system generates 2.5 points consistently then just add more contracts to reach your desired point total.

As in, the historical "Opens" based on the daily OHLC charts. I've noticed CME, HQuotes, Barchart.com and most historical providers give an open price that often isn't anywhere near what my chart software shows at 9:30. .. and if anyone knows of a site that might provide 9:30 open prices...
