My eSignal data is still wacky. Went long on the stretch that seemed to last forever this morning. Know why now ;-) Bailed before the drop though. Lost 3 YM points....

Ireland, Just got it to work!!! Thank You very much for your help. It's people like you and the other good people around here that make this community great. The eSignal syntax is: =WINROS|LAST!'$INDU' and =WINROS|LAST!'YM #F' I tried that dozens of times w/o success until the market...

I'm trying to convert the following xls. from IQFeed to eSignal. It's a neat program that tracks the YM/INDU FV difference. Might work well with Market Profile as I try to track it manually now around the POC/VAH/VAL. If anyone figures it out please let me know. It's the YM Chart xls. on the...

If anyone gets the xls. MAK wrote to work in eSignal I would appreciate it if you would let me know. I'm working on it too. Thanks

True - but - just like stocks are they (the specialist) just making a market? Another words, at times selling or buying something they don't own? They ain't gonna buy a short back higher or sell a long lower than the price they paid as a rule.... :)

Tom....I'm new to the YM but have been trading stocks full time for three years. Don't watch book sizes at all. They can make it look any way they want. Same as buys and sells. It's the volume at price that matters to me. You'll soon know if you were right or wrong. Example: Yesterday when...

Here is a chart with Volume Profile along with PP and MP. Messy as hell but it works. :) Working on a way to clean it up some. As far as RSI - Couldn't trade without it. Gotta speed it up. The default is only good on longer time frames.

Great post Whister. That's why I'm working with Volume profile now. Using an eSignal efs that worked very well last week.

I agree 100% Porgie. Dance with the one you brung ;-)

You make a great point there Porgie and you should watch the chart that you trade. :) I like the cash chart because it is smoother and sometimes shows sure-fire signals on my indicators that the YM doesn't. Watch both of them while trading....I don't trade strictly off of pivots but strongly...

The fair value narrows the closer it gets to roll-over day which was Thursday. The YM fair value on Tuesday for example was under $1.00. Yesterday it was $74.29 and will get closer to cash every week.... I too watch the cash chart and apply the YM pivots to it. It worked beautifully...

Thanks Guy. Everything is ready for the open now. It sure makes a mess out of the charts though. What a gap ;-) OT: Do you think the Big Dow will steal much thunder from the mini when it starts trading?

I use to only trade E&P stocks and worked as a Driller in my younger days. Just started trading the YM futures and hope to trade NG later on. Have you guys ever checked out the CWEI board on Yahoo? There is a man there named Robry that is usually dead on with the numbers well before the EIA puts...

That was a great story. Especially liked the "hat-trick" part if I have my stories straight ;-)

This is from the CBOT website: "The expired contract will be converted to cash, and you will see the cash in your account." Spreads will be bad....

Finally reached the elusive 5 straight days net positive milestone. Only averaged about 9 points per day. Not earth-shattering for sure but it did wonders for me. I was short this morning @ 11079 and only made 10 points out of it on 1 trade (It went down to 10986 or so). :) Trading overly...

I am far from an expert but S/R in its simplest form can be found by using Pivot Points and Moving Averages. Search the web on these subjects and there is a plethora of informations out there. Here are the PP and 2 main MA for AAPL today: R2-73.63 R1-72.69 PP-72.06 S1-71.12 S2-70.49...

Thought I would update the journal today. Almost blew out the account as most thought I would ;-) Slowly working my way back. Only started with $2500 just for that reason. Have lost the Cowboy "damed the torpedoes" attitude that seemed to work for me trading stocks. I am studying Market Profile...

Those charts look great!!! Are they available on eSignal yet? I'm using the MP from the Daily Notes website and have been trading them successfully. Many Thanks....

It is magic....Yesterday the H/L on the YM was 11133 -11059. Using the MP provided by Guy the VAH was 11068. However, after reading the thread by They I picked up this little gem: "the market gaps up, the market begins to sell off, where will it stop? at yesterdays highs? maybe, many traders...
