I notice AMT just posted a bunch of new charts explaining today's action on ChartHub. Maybe he wants us to study the charts and quit bugging him with endless questions. For you NeoTicker guys, has anyone looked at Lawrence's MakeBarFormula? As far as I can tell, it matches the Investor/RT...

I hear you. Neoticker is a tough nut to crack. I don't have a data feed like iqfeed with bid/ask data. The chart I posted is a continuous contract that I downloaded from TickQuest's backfill server. It is a macro view of CDV going back to last month, so it is not going to look like AMT's...

Definition of Volume Breakdown from Investor/RT website: Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume Buy Volume (Ask Volume) = volume that traded at or above the ask price. Sell Volume (Bid Volume) = volume that traded at or below the bid price. Definition of TPBidAskTradeVolN indicator in...

I see your point. Maybe a little waterboarding will change his mind. Who's with me? :D

Not to be argumentative, but if you really believe that, then why follow this thread? Seems like it would be a waste of your time. Yet, here you are everyday. I think AMT said previously that he has used CVD for four years with no loss of edge.

I understand. I was in IT for over 20 years and I hated it too. Can't blame you for wanting out.

Kind of interesting to follow the progression from student to teacher. I still remember your old MACD strategy. You have come a long way since that first post.

Murray, I just wanted to mention that I still follow your FSENX/CL intermarket system, my version of it anyway. FSENX peaked on 6/27/08, a couple weeks before CL. The system gave a sell signal on 7/25/08. CL subsequently collapsed as we all know, but the system got me out for a profit. I...

What I do not understand is the "why" of it. Are you saying that someone knew Bin Laden's people were going to crash a plane into the WTC and wanted to make it even more catastrophic by bringing down the whole building with thermite? Why go to all that trouble? Isn't a plane crashing into the...

AMT, you are scaring the crap out of me. :(

After my initial skepticism, I have become a Yoohoo convert. Yoohoo has obviously thought deeply about trading, but even more impressive to me is his kindness and generosity, a rare quality on ET. Never a harsh word, always quick to congratulate, I will miss him if he goes away.

Now that is interesting. Done a lot with EOD data over the years but only recently started testing intraday stuff. Encouraging to hear someone else has made it work.

I knew it!!!!!! :D Truth be told, even I noticed the 1-2-3 failure in the Euro. It showed up on the 5 min too. I thought to myself, 'that sucker is going down.' Pea soup most of the time, though. I'm in no hurry. If it was easy, everyone would do it.

Chart patterns work across all time frames. The problem is you can only tell which ones to take in hindsight. The obvious solution is to build a time machine to go back and take only those signals that work out. Day trading is easy; the time machine is the tricky part.

I'm not CFerret, but the 2B rule comes from Vic Sperandeo's book, Methods of a Wall Street Master. He defines the 2B rule on page 78, "In an uptrend, if a higher high is made but fails to carry through, and then prices drop below previous high, then the trend is apt to reverse." You can see a...

Great chart, Willleung. It has a little bit of everything. I printed it off to use as a reference.

I agree. I was reading through the documentation and came across something called the Virtual Backtester. I thought, "WTF, is this what I think it is?" The most encouraging thing for me is that Murray says he designed TradersStudio for his own personal use. I hope that means he will never...

You're right. I see it now. Thanks.

Why couldn't you start the EMTL 2 bars earlier than the classic trend line and draw it through the close of bar 17? I counted 12 emotion reactions that way also, and it doesn't violate your rule of "keeping closes on or inside the EMTL that counts". Done this way you do NOT have a buy signal...

CFerret, cvds16, Pholeuon thank you for your upbeat, thoughtful replies. I will lurk in here awhile longer and try to keep an open mind. Yoohoo, my last post was not meant to be a personal attack. I felt my questions were valid. My background has been systems trading; discretionary...
