Got a reply from Qcharts regarding adding DOM walls. Qcharts ( Esignal ) has a free program called QuoteTrader that has a DOM ladder with a display that shows the walls horizontally. It has other charting features as well. Works with IB, MBT, Esignal and a few others. Haven't tried it...

Yep, just like the QT tool. Someone here coded it for Esignal, and since Esignal owns Qcharts it shouldn't be too much trouble to add.

BTW, since we were already on Qcharts for adding tick color, I updated the DOM bars and added a PRV request. Please chime in if your using Qcharts and would like to see an upgrade: http://forum.esignalcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=155

The ones with SC (Santa Clara) in it are west coast, MIA are the Miami servers. Earlier I got all IP addresses as you mentioned. A few minutes later I got a better list. Sometimes it takes a couple tries. See attached. Generally the closest location is faster - but not always. I'm in...

When the latter happens you'll know your mind has made the shift. - EZ

Hey all Qchart users, I posted a new thread on the Esignal/qchart forum. It was regarding their tick charts not having the color option. If you want to help twist their arm for a patch please post there. Thx - EZ http://forum.esignalcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23374

Qcharts said they couldn't do the color coding because there is no open or close on the tick charts. They said they "may" look at doing it for version 6.1 depending on requests, but I'm not holding my breath. They should at least be able to code the colors based on an up or down tic...

The beginning rule set Spydertrader had used here was basically FTT to FTT, though they went through a change at one point. There was an exit on FBO, but this is basically SCT at a beginning level. And exit if you get confused or low volume. A little different approach than what you went...

Exactly. Jack put it another way at one time. Paraphrased: You look for a new entry in the opposite direction. Regards - EZ

Spydertrader, Great post as I find it too easy to jump resolutions. Looking at it as if the olive channel never existed (after price exits), then zooming out to return to the larger channel really clicked. Thx. - EZ

OK, another question. The first is a dip in a downtrend, into an FTT. So we're heading up now. The 2nd dip doesn't quite have the soup bowl going on but by the price action it's a dip - again into an FTT. Change again. Is that the right read?

Spyder, Had a question on the dips at 14:10 & 14:40 on todays chart. The notation starts on the first bar of the dip. These look like they are 3 bars long, start to finish. Is that correct? Regards - EZ

My contention with this often quoted view is it isn't "necessarily" true. That's why I said " but also consider the producer of the contract." The farmer sells a futures contract of corn, Kellogs (or whoever) buys it to make corn flakes. No one loses. I might step in between and it could go...

Pepe, First wanted to clarify terms. By "cumulative volume" you're referring to the total orders on the 1st 5 levels of the DOM. Just to nit pick, I don't believe there is a loser on the other side of every trade, as I can sell a contract to Pr0 at 1540, he can sell to Spyder at 1445, who...

Pepe, Not sure what you meant when you said price follows the highest cumulative volume. So I apologize if I misunderstood. The path of least resistance is the smaller side. The price never moved up much as there was a lot of cumulative orders on the ask, lots of supply. Even if nearby...

The San Diego Expo is next week. I'll be there all week. Anyone else going? - EZ

Bundlemaker, This prompted a bunch of thoughts, some probably unrelated to what you were going for. Would like to hear more about the downstream thoughts. Ezzy and Meph.... OK, you know how you hear that trading is the easient thing in the world? You hear that from the most succesful...

The small winners are a crutch, but there's a way around that. And I'll tie it all in to Forest and coarse trading. Remember, this is my interpretation, and probably oversimplified, FWIW. When Jack started teaching this he seemed to be focusing on making sure you were in only high...

And I thought you had a hand in Spy's post :). Good luck on the new direction. If you have any questions I'll be around. Regards, - EZ
