Tick and ticki? Trying to figure that out. I watch the $ADD and make moves on it. How effective do you find it for your trading, steve46?

Thanks for your help. I looked for this data. At stockcharts.com I put in $NYUD for the chart which is daily only. Is it live there? Is there another source for avdvd for the NYSE?

Mmm interesting. Does AVDVD do the same job as Accumulation Distribution indicator? Is there a difference? What is the experience with AVDVD?

Pekelo, Mmm interesting observations. Did you use the standard setting in the Williams %R?

Thats helpful. I've been using a fast MACD, a twin Stochastic and MA for entries/exists but I also compute my own forecasts for the day. What setting do you prefer for a quick Chaikin?

This is for daytrading index futures. What do members think are the best averaging indicators i.e. indicators which essentially cut out the noise during a trading day. Equally what are the best combinations of more than one indicator? The idea of the thread is a comparative update by...

A lower low or higher high sounds easy. You have to get a few bars along from each one before it can be identified in which case you can end up saying, I've missed it.

Whats the current effect of the storm? Who is coming into work?

Yes, this is a good facility. With a lot of stuff on your screens, it is helpful to have this as a voice service with major economic items coming in right on the split second. They can also give a warning to remind you like "Numbers in 10 seconds".

fireflyx, thanks for your answer. Using 18 points on YM what happens if you get an extended upmove of maybe 50 points without 18 in the opposite direction? If you have sold after 18 points, what do I do next? I am looking at a loss? Do I put it done to an incorrect perspective? Have I...

fireflyx, can I try and simplify the concept of your system to get an understanding? Using YM does it mean that after any move of 22 points down you can buy and after any move of 22 points up you can sell? And obviously that must mean that a 22 move must occur in one direction before you can...

This is for each member to give a quick trading thought for 2006. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Best Wishes.

According to their backtested results and bearing in mind backtesting is one thing, doing is another. The Spreadbet based on 4pts cost for the DOW would knock off between 30-45% of the total profit. If its YM you have to knock off the commission and any slippage.

Are there any users of On Balance Volume? Do you use it on stocks or index futures? I've just been looking at it as a confirmatory addition. Do you use it as a primary indicator or as confirmatory to other considerations? How exactly do you use it? How helpful do you find it?

I haven't had a response. Is that because most members don't trade or is it because position size calculations are confidential? Just trying to open discussion. I don't have a view to push on anyone.

In index futures does this subject get the attention it deserves?How is position size handled? Is it all in at the entry trade? Should you instead at entry scale in? In YM I enter the trade always with ammunition to scale. If if whips off in the predicted direction without a counter move, I...

What advice would members give on the sorts of criteria one should apply to backtesting prices, say YM or ES? Thanks.

In practical terms how you would apply the Monto Carlo simulation to the price path of index futures or an index such as the Dow? Cheers.

I want to get my mathematical skills running again. In F = ((1+1)*(1/2)-1)/1 = 0 is the * a multiplication sign?

I do forecasting based trading. Agree, news is noise. I do watch the key economic news items that usually come in at 10am but it is the days pattern which will prevail.
