To the OP: As an innocent byfacker might I suggest that a very simple way to decide whether or not there is anything worth debating would be to answer the following question. To what extent have you incorporated any of Hershey's incoherent ramblings into your trading protocol and similarly...

For those of you that are interested, I have attached a pace primer. CFBW = Channels For Building Wealth, again a document which some of you may find of utility (ET search same). lj

Partial quote from cd23: 04-21-08 01:06 PM This is brief comment that will, hopefully clarify a few things. I will do the details later. Have read through your most recent post (and numerous others) and it is clear that the volatility seam must be the trend-supporting pace. Originally...

This week's 'Economist' is headlined "The Silent Tsunami" which perhaps is not so silent anymore. lj

It's easiest to see with the red graph. For a given x increment, say 1 unit, the y increment is progressively larger. This relation should be evident when you process your monthly Volume/Volatility data. Of course when you don't have any Volume data, like with FOREX, you have to be more...

Sorry. If anyone is interested, the catenary pic which didn't stick. lj

Right on Spyder. And the four became two became one. lj

I should have placed a hyphen in between proxy and whatever. Less confusing. If there is something more to this than the Jokari, then I'm flummoxed, in a dither as 'twer'. Luckily, I know just the person to help me out of this quandry and after PM'ing him and getting this matter...

My point was not to do with the exactitude of the volume construction but rather to do with the fact that, for me at least, I don't know what volume proxy I would be constructing from the price. lj

I've attached a picture of a catenary (from Wikpedia). This graph can be depicted as a sum of exponentials. It describes the position of a weighted chain [a = f(weight)] hanging from two points of identical height. If the pace distribution is in the form of a catenary, then it must be a...

Spyder, We all here know that it is possible to construct an approximate picture of the V when only having the P, the problem is to determine what is the nature of the V. Jack's got three proxies but for me at least, it's not yet apparent what they are. That may change when I understand...

Hi Ezzy, Good points. Agree 100% with your interpretation of the 'anomalous' behaviour. I don't think it matters volatility-wise whether or not there are intrabar (IB) traverses because of how volatility is defined, either as simply H-L/unit time or as you have done with the ATR (which...

I use IB as my primary broker and have Comcast as my ISP (IB for a little over a year; Comcast for many years). To date, I have not noted any consistent/persistent problems with respect to maintaining my connection to IB for transmission of trades, data, or anything else for that matter...

Sorry. Here's the attachment.

Ezzy partial quote: With bar overlap it's a similar situation (what basis to expect overlap without volume), though it could be used as a trending indicator similar to ADX or DMI measuring the bar extension or non overlap. There is precious little of consequence in ET on the topic of bar...

In the vast majority of cases indicators provide confirmation and should not be used as a trigger. That said there are some (like cd23) who use such things as MACD and stochastics to anticipate more subtle price events. Quite right that he knows how to draw a trendline which most of the...

I agree with many that 1 ES is the maximum one should trade unless one has some experience, in which case why would you only have 3.8K in your trading account, but whatever. The whole leveraging thing is a canard, IMO. A futures contract is what is in play - not the underlying. So if one...

I have to add another grating misuse of the language and that is: "couple". As in "a couple this or that" instead of "a couple OF this or that". AFAIK couple is not followed by "of" when referring to a physical act - as in 'the two gnats were coupling in my soup" or when referring to a pair of...

I had a comparable problem last summer and indeed it was the mboard. lj
