This will only happen only if the interests of the homeowner ( mainly the middle class) happen to coincide with the larger interests ( the drivers) of the US economy. You are correct in saying that RE is a local issue. It is just that now it is now a local issue in a global, increasingly...

Well written and well thought through dear boy. Are you referring to the Military / Industrial / banking complex as the US? If you are hoping to include the US middle class, please put that silly notion aside as they are all tapped out and now being replaced by other emerging middle classes...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news RM, but like any borrower, your Gov has little or no effect over the outcome. It will be China and Japan who decide the value of the dollar and it will be well inside your 20 year best guess. Also, while on the subject(s) of bad news, the US RE is in the...

Care to expand on these comments?

Much is spoken about MP on a daily basis but it would be interesting to discuss the intraday application. For example on say 10 minute charts, if the price is rising you may want to see the POC rise in tandem before a trend can be declared. Conversely if the POC is rising and the price is...

I have spent the weekend playing around with nesting and placing categories into boxes. The common number is 7

Sir, Trade only highly volatile, highly liquid markets in short time frames. You will find my outrageous consulting fee in the mail as per usual.

MK Try getting your tend chart(s) in place first so that they are an accurate pictorial of what you are trying to do. Then and only then drop down a square and tune your order execution into this chart. What you are experiencing is the same situation that I have just worked through. Pay...

I also have been playing around nesting out ( is there such a phrase) and I can see the logic behind the thinking. Certainly my trend charts are more in line with my trade chart ... I can see that. I may speed up my trade chart a tad as squaring puts more mileage between charts ... more than...

I see that it kept rising. 5P may have a point about DTN. For what it is worth, I use delta for its summed value only, I do not use tic delta in my decision making. I think that it was Bolter how mentioned that tic delta was over as fast as it began. Bit like teenage sex really. I do...

MK was just commenting that the price was rising on net selling

Water does run uphill .... just ask any windsurfer in shallow water or look at the rain hiting your windscreen when driving. What is happening is an external force (windspeed) is sufficent to overwhelm gravity. The markets are similar. Dont give up on delta and volume, just learn to use it...

Start with this thread and then we can move on. MD is one of the last pieces in the puzzle. To appreciate it you must understand the cornerstones first. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=80582

For what it is worth. I always include all data. Not through any great scientific research that I have undertaken. But rather that life has taught me that to be exclusive is to be subjective, which is the very thing that I am trying not to be.

So ask yourself why price can rise while the majority of the action is on the bid. And what is likely to happen next. And muy importantemente. What are you going to do about it? It is the equivalent of water running uphill.

Pl, can you expand please. For example, my choice of V2500 comes from a desire to keep my bar at a sub 60 second level in the heavy traffic without being ridiculous. Using squares I could select 7 ie 7*7*7*7 = 2401 Whether this produces a smoother chart, I just dont know

Can you expand on this please RD Thanks

That would'nt be "rat cunning" would it?

This has always botherd me as well. I run a 4 pt hard stop on ES, which could easily be overwhelmed.

Gracias PL. I am running a V2500 ( 50*50) alongside my tic chart as I trade and it is smoother. Trades are not really any different but they are easier to see and there are some interesting repetitive patterns appearing. My wife thinks that V charts may add 20 years to my life. Given...
