The truth is you need a real leading indicator. You need to do analysis on related markets and then use that to trade with an edge.

Hey max, ThinkorSwim can do this. You just use a tick chart and then set it to candles. Easy.

Yes it is possible (I'm a math whiz). A few fast adapting averages..... Wilder's Smoothed Moving Average (just reduce the period) Doubly Exponential Moving Average Hull Moving Average Polynomial Regression Averages You can use all kinds of them. The thing is though, unless you are nice with...

What max just said is what I am doing here. This is a custom coded excel charting solution using VBA script and the sample excel worksheet (TwsDde.xls). TWS DDE for Excel API. Here is the code for the script. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58369968/excel-vba-macro-edit Good luck.

You record a macro. Then you can run the macro with one keystroke. Or you can name the cells. You can name a group of cells, and then put the name into the sum functions. Look up named ranges in excel tutorials.

This market is hilarious. Impossible to effectively regulate? I can't imagine trading a market where the exchange could go under, the broker could get hacked, the underlying could be fraudulent, and even the price discovery is likely just manipulation to induce participation... Caveat...

There is a new type of overbought/oversold now. It's called statistical arbitrage. Things that trade against each other like stocks and bonds are one example. This can mean that while something may not look overbought on a single instrument chart, it is overbought relative to correlated...

Cryptards got scammed by this peasant ethnic. "Private Blockchain"....LMFAO Just got to hodl bro.....it's the revolution LOL

Just a personal anecdote. If you consider something like an arbitrage spread, eg. 10*SPY - SPX then you can find many uses for higher level analysis techniques. This is similar to a price process, but very different in certain characteristics. I have found that arbitrage spreads are very...

Can't say whether DSP is useful or not. Background is mathematics/statistics. However, digital signals are not price processes. I found it most useful to transform data using linear combinations of indicators and prices, then put algorithms and variables on those to get useful info. This...

Long term moving averages are used by Wall Street. Finance professionals may use them to justify investment decisions.

Moving averages are pretty useful. Understanding them and how they are used is also important. Really, you need to understand the convergence properties of families of moving averages. For example, take a few of them, simple, doubly exponential, wilder's smoothed, or a recursive median...

This sounds like a lot of work. I'm impressed guru. No wonder you need so much compute hardware :) I have some opinions on what they are probably doing, but it's just guesswork. Thanks for that video. I love the LTCM story and that guy is really impressive. Buy and hold seems to be the...

Here is a quote about this from Gary Phillips, a guy that knows futures... "...markets have changed. given the near extinction of retail participation, and the almost total dominance of professional and algorithmic trading, it is unlikely that the biases and readily "available" cognitive...

It seems that Mr. Simmons and I are interested in the same things. When I was developing my trading tools, I discovered that I should be doing analysis on arbitrage spreads. Specifically, arb spreads involving multiple exchanges. This is similar to things I've read about called signal...

Right off the bat, Ultra Bonds are my favorite rate future. This really depends on what time frame your gonna trade, and what duration instruments your talking about. The back of the curve is dominated by speculative order flows and the front of the curve is where serious pro's are operating...

What you have to understand is that the CB has a dual mandate. Low and controlled inflation Full employment Also, support the financial system and maintain stability in reference rates (funding rates). From the gov and fed's standpoint there is no problem. They are doing very well...

Thanks for the info regarding AMP. I just saw this video recently and it made me think TradeStation might just have something worth using. They say they are in collaboration with Trading Technologies.

dozu888, do you want to reaffirm your Dow 40,000 call? Any time frame on that? How does the LQD forward yield spread factor into that?

That trade is really impressive. The fact that he added 200 contracts after the first leg down, and then 700 more after the second leg tells you that this guy is a stone cold killer. That trade has pro written all over it.
