Thanks Easy. I am going to check it out. The reason for the new computer was all the drop outs, etc....It's no better in that regard. Stayed sidelined all morning because my trading platform and chart data didn't jive. Very frustrating and happens all to often. Thanks again....

I have been watching the YM/INDU side by side for four months now. No hard data to back it up but I have noticed when the cash leads, the move seems to be more powerful and sustainable. Read on a thread this weekend where another trader has noticed the same exact thing. That was my reasoning a...

Great post Easy!!! My seminents exactly. Who knows what the market will do day-to-day? Long term is definitely up looking through my glasses. The beauty of it is we can make money up or down with very little margin trading the e-minis....Up this late trying to configure a new computer on...

Thank You MAK. I've read this entire thread and the previous one. It's quite amazing to see everything coming together. With real time visuals at that!!! One thing that had been bugging me was what the acronym SCT stood for. Finally found out. It was like the name you can't remember that drives...

Mak, will the new tool be for IB users only?

Not at all Easy. I really appreciate it.

It really does take a village. When I was growing up in rural Louisiana during the 60's there was this guy down the road (dirt) that use to borrow books from my Mother. She had/has a hefty reading appetite. This guy lived with his elderly parents, was bald on top with stringy long hair in the...

PRV saves the day again. Lost big points (for me - small account)) because the CQG data said one thing and the eSignal data said another during peak volume. Got it back after entering one of those headfake DU moves that led to some volume. :) Apologies to the purist as I try to make the tools...

I have been using the VDU and DU to fade the move when other indicators agree. It has been nice for scalping a few points (YM) if the fills are good. The PRV tool is one of the missing links - volume - absent from my toolbox. ESignal has terrible volume indicators for futures. Yesterday...

Wow....What a day!!! Thought I was going to have to recalibrate the PRV tool because it was staying redlined. :) Got out of my short just before the FOMC announcement, thankfully.

The first tool MAK created is flexible and it will adapt over time as markets change. I would like to be able to see the Str/Sq on the (5,3,3) Stochastic fast-slow line.. Like MAK said it could be used for any pair. My project after Uncle Sam obligations this weekend....Any help would be...

Thanks Txuk....I'll check that out.

Just went over some of my old notes and found that my TA mentor back in the day - 90's - used MACD (5,17,9). I'll try that. He is on a paid site now because of the trolls and flamers that frequent these places. Hope that doesn't happen to some of the folks here ;-)

My interest are too. It wasn't until late last year that I even knew what a "E-Mini" was. Had a Come-to-Jesus meeting with myself after Hurricane Rita and decided new trading instruments and techniques were needed. On my charts the Dow (YM) looked to fit my style. It has been quite a humbling...

Maybe it's just me but I think the approach being used/developed here is the correct one. I mean, why worry about things you have no control over - Evil MMs & Market Orders - rather than the things you do such as Entry/Exit? :)

This PRV tool will become a desktop staple for sure. Great job MAK!!! Still getting use to the terminology around here but I guess I'm a "rocket" type trader too. Often trade off of one minute charts as it fits my YM psychological tolerance level ;-) The things I'm learning here (with the...

FWIW....Couldn't get mine to work today until I deleted the = and used Cumulative volume instead of total like MAK pointed out a while back.

Thanks MAK for another promising looking tool. I trade the YM and know both of your tools will be very valuable once my homework is done....A+++ on the presentation also!!! You guys are awesome.

Thanks for the post Mak. I don't really have a plan yet but do know you guys are on to something special. Just a student here. Gotta get a lot more screen time but I'm pretty sure there is a way to get some nice YM trades with that spreadsheet.

This is only the second day of watching your program. Noticed some things yesterday and thought I would give it a shot on the YM opening volitility....Thanks for the spreadsheet BTW. That is one nice piece of work.
