    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    It should be straight forward. Be sure to adjust the spread increment as I write this post of the top of my head. I am not sure as to why one would want to monitor ESvsSPX except to use as trailing stop type of hard boundary since SPX would always be trailing. In any event, it should be straight...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    The dividend/divisor stuff does not vary during the day. The divisor only changes if components of the dow are swapped out (ie. SUN for MSFT). The dividend changes on the days dividends are paid out or reported for any of the components. When doing an RT fairvalue, what is important is to...

    Scalping_My Way with ACV

    Agreed that totaling DOM is nothing new, but most are not calibrated to the continually depleting total which I believe is also an important measure. The depletion ALWAYS precedes ALL price changes. ALthough the ratio is an important measure, it hides some small intricacies since for me a B/A...

    Scalping_My Way with ACV

    :cool: This is all very interesting stuff and does a very nice job of tapping that which the market makes available. I will try to create an animated .GIF of the action so as to better display the details I am talking about. One of the particular items that is a work in progress for me is...

    Scalping_My Way with ACV

    Rather than make a trivial comment like "that's neat" or "cool", I'd thought I would lay out a few items that are in similar vein to what you have realized. Our perspectives are a tad different and this may only be due to terminology and perhaps what we believe to be important and more...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    This may or may not be a tall order. A/D is easy to capture programming wise, however it takes some time at arriving at what is the suitable picture framework that is readily processed by the trader and also caters to programming. It turns out that a chart of sorts of the DOM and its DEPTH can...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    We've got one more tool. The illusive A/D, which I have finally figured out how to get it into an intuitive TWS/EXCEL form that caters to TWS's limitations. Having all 3 variables side beside will just be super. I just need to polish off the when to look at it which is where I'm sure most screw...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    From the getgo, my intentions were to fill in the single bar analysis content. It actually works both ways as far as introducing scalpers and trend followers into a more detailed trading framework. Alot of folks are knowledgeable in the rockets & icebergs and I wanted to lay off the recent info...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    It is absolutely unnecessary to cream every bar. IF1/IF2/APA has it's strengths and weaknesses depending on what your experience level is. With an APA, there is an additional regard for the right side of the DOM. It is not easy stuff to get on the first few dozen go arounds. As usual, I am doing...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    The STALL... For one reason or another, a single bar STALL (ie. insider bar) is alot tougher for me than a HVS. An HVS might as well be a HIGH VOLUME STALL. Either way, the single bar data gathering of a HVS is a GO because of the EXTREME volume. EXTREME volume just means the direction...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Here it is... IB PRV & ABSTRACT STR.NEUT.SQU... I repeat this is for IB users only... The only sheet that will require any type of change is the IB DDE SYNTAX sheet. Change cell B2 to your IB userid. Cells B3 through B6 can be altered to whichever pair you want...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Will definitely try the GOTO approach. Doh... Sometimes I need to think simpler.... As for the PM.... Here's where I hone in... Yes washes tend to be costly. Once I gave back .5 per contract on a bar where I had a fat finger.... For me, I tear a page out of the equities knowledge base. In the...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    I sidelined the majority of the afternoon. Was very boring watching bar after bar pass by with little to no projection. Only had 1 PM bar that beared any fruit. Was expecting the AM volume to come back. Thank goodness for PRV. The IB stuff will be up soon. I'm still getting this open bug which I...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    You're kidding me... RIGHT??? There are many "KISS" ways to slice the market. I happen to find this as one particular facet. Saying this is complicated implies that you know/experience both facets and have properly assessed the complexity of both. Alot of things look complicated when they are...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    IB it is... There's still one stingy bug in there which is proving pesky... The IB will be up as soon as I can get rid of the bug. It's been considerably idiot proofed... MAK

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Depends which fractal I'm on. On the 5, it is seldom less than 40 (ie. once every other bar). I SCT a whole myriad of different ways as a means to find a balance between what's optimum and what's hyper. Additionally, when the cats are away, that's when I play. Otherwise banging out a few points...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Presumably, no news is good news! It's kind of eery that it is so quiet! Irl, when you understand the mechanism so to speak, it is all the same, 5M/10M/15M/20M/30M/45M/60M/... ER2/YM/NQ/DAX/ES/SP... FOREX is a bit different... Eventually you just realize that the mound is huge and your bucket...

    Correlation and Leading/Lagging?

    here's a killer resource... http://www.mataf.net/en/analysis-correlation_id.htm :cool: how about them apples/pips??? What's important about correlation is the latter part of the thread title. Just follow the leader... It is easier to pick out than using indicators... Kind Regards, MAK
