I understand what you are saying. What I have noticed, though, is that the mostly the up and down tapes that are constructed by my code line up precisely with the build-up and build-down of volume (gaussians). The cases where they are not consistent are the following: 1) hitches 2) stalls...

It's a direct consequence of stacking rule sets one on top of the other. The foundation rule set (how to properly construct tapes from individual bars) is built first. Upon this foundation is the rule set on how to build channels. Once this is done, the rule set for annotation (FTT, BO, FBO...

For kicks, this is the 15m. This is all still a work in progress, particularly for annotations. RoughTrader

Here is my ES 5m chart for today. Completely automated by tradestation code. For more info, go to the Beyond the hype of the Hershey method thread. RoughTrader

Here is the same chart with tapes and channels set for 15m fractal. RoughTrader

Ok, it's been a while, but I've been busy coding the tapes and channels. I've reached a milestone of sorts, building the foundation for tracking and constructing tapes and the channels that capture those tapes. Please look at the attached image. It shows the tapes and channels in indicator...

I'm a life-long CA resident as well spent most of my time in Santa Monica / WLA but recently lived in Nor. Cal. south bay for about 4 years. I've just moved back to So Cal in San Diego. When I was a teenager growing up in LA, we had massive fires raging in malibu / topanga, massive...

Cool, I'll check it out when I get the time. I'm in the process of moving to San Diego, so I haven't had much time recently for trading. I'm still working on the tapes and channels; I'll post back when I'm done with that. RT

This is still generally untrue. While DDR3 is next generation, the performance still lags DDR2 because of the high latencies inside the memory. I'd say go DDR2 with the following key thoughts in mind: 1) The optimal bandwidth performance is achieved if you have matched pairs running in...

I'm also an index daytrader, but it seems like no one wants to play these days. Volume has dropped off the cliff again, pretty thin and choppy. I thought September and on was supposed to have the biggest volume of the year? RoughTrader

Yeah, that's really sound, smart advice. RoughTrader

It's so fascinating to see Japan's recent history play out exactly in the U.S. Japan's central bank panicked in a similar fashion (albeit slightly AFTER a real collapse started to surface), and moved the funds rate all the way to 0%. Did this stimulate spending? No, it didn't. In fact the...

I posted this message in another thread, but I think this line of thinking is slightly misguided. For the credit bubble to take place, two things had to happen. First, bank interest rates had to come down. Second, RISK HAD TO BE PRICED ARTIFICIALLY LOW. Meaning, if risk is priced properly, no...

Exactly. It's pretty funny how people have come to think that the artificially low prices of risk we have seen are sustainable and healthy. The tightening liquidity is a natural consequence of risk being PROPERLY repriced through each level of the economy, and people are crying foul and begging...

Yes. There are many ways to do this. The path of least resistance would probably be what you suggest. In one chart, let Data1 be the 5 min. chart, data2 the 15 min., data 3 the 30 min., etc. etc. Trendline values could be referenced from each data stream in this way. I'm still...

Amen to that, Ivanovich, amen to that. RoughTrader

I see what you're saying. On a 5-minute chart, the only way to construct daily, 60-m, 30-m, or whatever higher fractal (that's an integer multiple of 5 minutes) is to register the OHLC values into storage arrays. This can quickly get messy, and I can see how it would be intractable. The...

Hi spooz, I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but as far as CO channels are concerned, we're dealing with the closing bar of the last session and the opening bar of the next session, right? My assumption is that the bars are treated as a seamless progression for taping, even if a gap...

you're not hearing me. I am arguing that assets and commodities have and continue to inflate, while wages remain static. The equivalent would be wages falling over time with the cost of living remaining flat. With the real value of wages falling, the income consumers receive will service...
