Very glad that software relieves me of doing PRV in my head. Not only that, I run it on several bar durations and across 3 instruments.
I don't know Big Blue but I'll remember your denominator advice.
Quote from marketsurfer:
Yes, clearly it is random since we know the source of the outcome as randomly generated.
You are unaware of the source of the outcome in financial instrument prices, therefore, price MUST be random to you regardless of past patterns that sometimes repeat.
While there may be metaphysical order within the chaos, not knowing the full source of price movement means it is random to you by default. It certainly isn't discernable by watching past prices-- if it was, the market would have self destructed a long time ago.
Embrace the unknown, brother.

) while the sample size is large enough to consider it valid experiment and not just lucky streak.

...Outcome of single trades is largely random indeed. But outcome of long series of trades...Blah Blah Blah...simple matter of practical observations...blah blah blah....
Quote from themickey:
You can lead a horse to water but can't force it to drink.... attempting to convince Surf is futile, waste of time. Head firmly buried in the sand like an Ostrich.
I was going to suggest another trading angle for Surf to contemplate but it is obvious to me logic is not accepted so there's no point.
Even a succesful TA trader is not going to convince him, which leads me to believe this is a reflection on his failure to be able to trade profitably, therefore denial, contempt and rebuttal is his way of dealing with his demons.
Were I to demonstrate a new way for him to think, noobs would pick up on it smartly and run with it (thereby producing for me more competition) but obviously this old dog (surf) has become caloused and unteachable which is a matter of choice - his choice.

Quote from themickey:
I've been trading and on trading forums for 20+ years and Surf is no noob to this game, but his inability to get it never fails to frustrate me.
I have to get over it.
Anyways, I was driving on the road about 12 hours ago and thought of a great idea to mention to Surf (there ya go, I was thinking of him) but when I logged on just before, and spotted another post to surf it dawned on me the guy DOESN'T WANT TO SEE.

Me too!Quote from jack hershey:
Of all my inventions, I like watching the PRV best.
Help to stay cool while time is ticking. Prep for the events of price spike and bouncing (and IBGS) while a bar is forming. Can't find a better way to SEE the price and volume relationship. Is it tape reading?Quote from themickey:
