Did you hear all the Miami fans booing when they passed on Quinn? Felt sorry for WR Ginn at their press conference. Ugly. At least someone here has an interest in the NFL. Next year we need a draft thread.

FWIW, it's best to use the servers closest to you. East coast = mia (Miami), west coast = sc (Santa Clara) -EZ

This was a good example for using the 20 SMA. Without it you were kinda hanging out there as the carry over channel was far away and the current up channel was widening. I've resisted putting it in, having gone cold turkey on all indicators to focus on PV, Channels and Gaussians. It's...

Todays ES chart. Should be more complete than the last weeks per Jack's instruction.

LOL, I noticed there were no blue notes. Oh cr*p! :eek:

YOUR TOUGH AFTER NOON STARTED AT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE es CHART OR BEFORE The tough time actually started around 15:00. Up to that point everything seemed to be going as expected. At 13:10 we had the afternoon BO, then a FBO, which happens often so it was anticipated. At 13:35 we had an...

I have a little different view on the sqz/str, and my settings may have been different as I adjusted in the afternoon to 58. So I was mostly neutral through there and didn't get any strong signals. Wish I had recorded the session. My view is the +2, -2 levels are a guide. Kind of like the...

Typically the days volume will look like a saucer. And you get a W or M day. 2 legs in the morning, congestion, 2 legs in the afternoon. We've had a bunch of days recently that continued to trend (or grind) through lunch or had several saucer type volume patterns during the day. Usually...

the es is actually a somewhat forgiving mkt, considering its ebb and flow I had to laugh, this market is viewed by many as the most difficult market in the world to trade. But I have to agree with you. It's that ebb and flow that many times give you a second chance on the reversals. As...

Ivo, Afterwards is when we break it down, so all observations are worthwhile. I had a lot of neutral sqz/str with short term blips in both directions so it seemed more a fine measure (if trading the leaves) than a confirmation of the longer swings - meaning I didn't find it helpful...

I did redraw the uptrend, that was the third one. About the 20dma, i have some issues with it, though spydertrader really likes it. Probably not the place to go into it, but for now trying to keep a clean chart. After the volume picked up I thought we might have a run into the close. When...

Wanted to post a tough afternoon section (for me at least :D) and break it down. At 14:50 it looked like an FTT on the ES, was clearer on the YM. Change 15:00 Everything looks fine and declining red on the YM. Non-dom retrace but also looking for a #2. 15:05 There is a tape BO on...

Ivo, You can't use the Sqz/Str for a few bars after the open. The futures and cash have to "sync" first. The YM has already been moving by the time the INDU opens. It can take 5 - 20 minutes for them to catch up and settle into a stable spread. That's why you see Jack mention waiting for...

Glad you started a journal. Didn't see it before or would have stopped by. It'll be cool to see how it develops. I can relate to your DOM issues :D. When I was trying this before on my own, I had everything thrown in together - saw some weird stuff on the DOM that really chopped me up...

Unfortunatley Qcharts can't do tick charts of the sqz/str. It gives the error below. So you gotta really keep an eye on it at change points.

Qcharts has Vista issues. See here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1400925&highlight=vista#post1400925

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...

nkhoi, Because the INDU and YM have different start and stop times you have to be careful about the display. After the close, it gets out of whack. During the day it doesn't save the extreme values. So to review it you need to take a snapshot before the market closes, but you miss some of...

Depends on your offset, I used 70 today. It was in the neutral range most of the day. Most signals were just a little outside the range, kinda weak. 12:40 - 12:50 was the strongest signal. I hesitate to call it a signal because it's another tool to watch. "Signal" tends to indicate time...

For the FX, is there a way to use a substitute for volume? Maybe bar volatility as a proxy? What about leading markets? - EZ
