Your chart today should have one line (on ES) -- a horizontal line across volume at 4500 on the 5 min. Notice that almost the whole day's volume is under this line. For me this means noise and noise means sideline... high concept number 2: pace. JT

My point is that the methods are easily testable but not comprehensive... i.e. taken as is they will fail backtesting period. The doc I have on this (SCT jack calls it) - states that it is an expert method... now this is going back to bubba/Jack Hershey stochastics thread days. To me...

Your post was really funny, by the way :D I've definitely been there

(No I am not a Jack alias) I'll contribute to this thread because I sense that you are being more court jester-ish than malicious here with Jack. This is how I can sum up the stuff that Jack preaches -- he really only hammers a handful of high concepts when it comes to "making...

I actually monitor INDU/YM using excel with qlink... so there isn't much to show. Just pull up the 2 minute bars of INDU and YM and find the difference for each bar... this afternoon the values were very close together (squeezed). JT

I noticed today that the INDU/YM spread was behaving normally up until around lunchtime today... after lunch it was absolutely *screaming* squeeze... at times the futures were higher than cash. The only stretched value I have in the afternoon is at 14:20 when prices had not broken out of...

Great post Nihaba - I always enjoy what you have to say. However it is a bit sad -- as your post illustrates these are lessons that should be learned in childhood. Aging is mandatory. Growth is optional. JT

Grob- Watching the INDU/YM today I noticed that there was a period from bar 53 to bar 62 (on the 5 minute ES) where the was a noticeable constnat squeeze on but the trend was clearly down. I have neutral for today around 17.5 or so. Any thoughts would be appreciated. JT

Grob109 - I find that when you give this type of bar-by-bar running commentary it is extremely helpful for cementing certain concepts. It's the next best thing to looking over your shoulder. Keep 'em coming. JT

I've only read this thread casually - so I might be making a point that has already been made. Atheists don't believe in supernatural, spiritual, holy or otherwise magical things. Therefore they cannot *empathize* with your belief system or any other religious-ish belief system. At all...

Jack can correct me if I'm wrong - but he preaches that futures lead cash. That's the power of the thing... if futures are squeezing (YM is getting closer to INDU) the futures have begun to rally ahead of cash and vice versa. If you trade ES you are trading a futures contract -- so you...

Man - if thanks are to be handed out you should be getting the lion's share :). Let me illustrate something: Joe Cubicle catalyst for chage: dissatisfaction, hope-fear-greed. Class A trader: 1) data gathering 2) hope-fear-greed 3) decision making 4) action. result/catalyst for...

qlink dde allows you to fill an array with bars -- each row is a different time (you pick the time frame 1,2,3,4,5,10,15,etc) and you select the columns as well. When the bar rolls over... e.g. from 10:04:59 to 10:05:00 on the 5 min -- the array automatically shifts and the last row in the...

It would be much easier to discuss the columns you are wondering about -- the calculations are very simple... the qlink references really junk up the code and the thing is completely worthless without a live qlink connection (think all 0s). I'm really using it as a belief honing tool more...

If you subscribe to Qcharts you can install something called qlink which allows you to link live data into excel. It is very handy. I compute PRV *constantly* for each 5 minute period. Excel figures out if volume is up or down since the last bar and the pace (on a pro rata basis). I...

Just saw this... excellent. Thanks ArchAngel.

Cost of living varies widely across the US... don't take a housing price at face value -- is there a state tax on income? what is the property tax rate (in some states it is very high)? what are average wages like in the area? what is the quality of life in the area (wal-mart and...

see attached intermediate term trend channel.

For all interested... I figured out what was going on with this. If you are looking at 5 minute or faster bars each qcharts server is going to give you slighltly different bars. I don't know why and this kinda stinks. to prove it for yourself -- bring up a chart of ES during the...

I can see how that would be an issue for the current bar -- but the old 'frozen' bars are off... e.g. if I clear everything out and then load in the most receent 10 bars the first 9 bars are not consistent w/qhcarts (all 10 are off -- but you see my point) Since the 9 bars are absolutely...
