Thanks, yes - actually I'm going to try to remember to backup the chlines.dat file at regular intervals. I've also been in touch with QT support earlier today, and may have a fix...will keep you all posted.

When it reverses later, is it against another wall? I've been finding the disappearance of significant DOM walls very useful, at least for about a point of movement. When a wall stays in place at a RTL I go more by how forcefully price tests the wall than the presence of the wall itself as a...

I have questions (Kind of the same question) about 2 bars from yesterday. The 12:30 bar spiked up on increasing black volume, nicely confirming the prior dip and bringing a smile to my face. But then it abruptly reversed on increasing red volume, followed by a 6 point run. Was there any...

I believe he means that a bar you suspect is an FTT is more likely to be one if there have been flaws before it. If there haven't been any prior flaws then it's more likely to be itself a flaw (depending on volume, of course). Hope that helps.

It looks to me like the end of a nondominant traverse - i.e., an FBO. Pretty much the same structure as the first nondominant traverse in your snippet. Declining black volume followed by low red volume that breaks out of the tape RTL.... To me that's a signal for change if I'm long. I...

According to my data (IB), the 12:25 bar didn't try to go back up, so it began a straightforward nondominant traverse. The black 12:30 bar did try, but on anemic volume, so I saw that as an FTT.

I didn't 'see' the market convincingly enough to trade at the start, and then realized quickly that volume was evaporating, so I sat it out. In retrospect I perhaps should have practiced wash trades, using limit orders.... In general, I often sit out the afternoons, unless the low volume...

A bit late, but here are my responses. How have your trades (real, simulated or monitored) go over the last week? - I've discovered I have a tremendous problem with QCHarts significantly lagging the market. I'm currently looking into some other software solution. Otherwise, I can trade...

Thanks, Bearbelly. I don't see any labels for it, where do you insert the value?

I have a different question regarding Mak's tool - How does it calculate the fairvalue offset for the str/squ? It doesn't seem to correspond to the QCharts histogram ...

And if that doesn't work (I still got the myid message), try making the changes, then cut and paste the entire sheet into a new workspace, close it and then reopen it.

Mike, thanks for posting the logs, they're very helpful. It's also a much better log sheet than what I'm using; is the template available online? Also, I noticed QCharts had much lower volume at the start than Mak's IB PRV sheet, and also that price lagged IB as much as 1 point for the...

Here's my chart for that period, and what I was thinking at the time. Within the context of yesterday's action and the low volatility we've been having, the move down seemed very sharp for the news that triggered it. The 10:15 bar had high volume, but failed to push price significantly...

Jander, Have you got the tool working now? I'm not sure what to enter where with this one; could you (or someone) also post the link to the relevant discussion? Playing around with it has also caused the original STR.SQU to stop working - Excel is a very mysterious app sometimes...

Very nice!

I just downloaded the prv tool and after some similar problems I it seems to be working with IB. After making the changes I cut and pasted the entire sheet into a new sheet, closed it and then reopened it. Perhaps that will work for you. This also enlarged the format, but I'll worry about...

Ivo, I'm sure Spyder will have a better explanation, but since he's probably sleeping now, I'll give it a try. Volume increases throughout the dominant traverse (and it will be predominantly dominant volume). Keep in mind that there are 3 possible ends to a dominant traverse. As volume...

Here's mine for the day. The orange lines are volatility expansions from Friday's down channel. I went short on the 9:50 point 3, held through the RTL break on the next bar because the volume was so weak, and really enjoyed the ride down.... But I lost a couple of points later on, and...

Took a break for the weekend. Here's my drill.

Here's mine for the day. Usually I do well with the Gaussians, but here I had a lot of trouble with them, which means I had trouble with the overall context. I felt comfortable with some of the pt 3 to pt 3 moves, though. It's a more relaxed way of entering than going for the FTTs. It...
