Question for Grob/Hershey...

[makosgu]

Quote from aweissen:

Hm, the only thing I'm seeing is there's not much in the way of volume, and the bars are slowly swinging back and forth almost like a pendulum...

Just making some observations - I'm certainly not an expert...

Yes, it was very boring to watch. There were many paces that failed to sustain themselves. At some point, you will readily map the paces to the bars volatility. For me, I watch PRVed pace and automatically know the magnitude of what is on the table volatility wise. The paces are like different size apples where the extreme pace are the large apples and the VDU pace is the small apples...

As you were data gathering, you saw bar after bar of predominantly slow/medium/du paces... Things just sluuuuugggggged along...

okay MAK

Being a veteran Hershey student, I have been following this thread very causally from a distance.

Could you explain for me the relationship that you have developed between the PV relationship and this STR.NEUT.SQU concept.

The reason that I am asking is that I recent tuned in, and I can no longer follow your posts. This is a semantics issue I am sure, so if you can break this down for me I will be grateful.

Also, how do you tie this in with the fundamentals in regards to the stocs and MACD?

This could produce a long post for you I know, but I would be grateful.....

Nice to see a vet... I too had been following along casually for some time. At Easy's request and respect for him keeping the torch burning, I tried to quietly sneak back in.

Your Q is a weekend type of post. Give me some time...

Thanks mak....

I have figured out a little bit. I will await your post.

MAK. I too am a dummy. I only know what I see, not necessarily what causes it. VWAP often is S or R in mid-day retraces in NQ. To the tick. In low volume, like today, price often goes against the tape. That's deep pockets to me. In my cosmology it's all about the contest between market orders and limit orders. Prey/Predator. Best regards. Mike.

I am having similar problems running YM.INDU and PRV.xls running side by side with IB feed.
YM.INDU worked fine until I opened up PRV.XLS, then they both got messed up.

Did you give them unique IDs??? This is from a post MAK made yesterday...

"For example, in the IB PRV version floating around, it is using "id501" for ES. If you decide to use "id501" for ES, be sure that it is not being used elsewhere to also id YM or something like that. If it is, then use a different symbol (ie. "id502")."

Thanks for your response. I have read page 390 but it's not helping, I must be doing something wrong as I can see Ireland got it working with IB feed.

So in cell B19, plug in the FORMULA SYNTAX

"=yourIBid|tik!id501?req?ES_FUT_200606_GLOBEX_USD"

This maps id501 to the IB's ESM6 futures data.

The other problem some of you were facing is due to a minor excel glitch that arises from the adhoc to using IB's timestamps. Currently, your b17 reads

"now()"

Change it to the STRING SYNTAX

"now()-today()"

OK. Problem 2 fixed...

Finally, B18 is as it was before (STRING SYNTAX)

"yourIBid|tik!id501?volume"

Note very carefully that if you change "id501" in B19 to some other id, the id change needs to also reflect in B18...

Irl, let me know if this resolves everything...
________________________________________________

I took these steps-:

B19 "=yourIBid|tik!id501?req?ES_FUT_200606_GLOBEX_USD
I inserted my ID here.

For B17 - MAK suggested now()-today()" but I wasn’t sure how to change the syntax
B17 reads as IB NAME|'@ESM6'!'T Time' - how do I make the change as suggested by MAK?

B18 Finally, B18 is as it was before (STRING SYNTAX) "yourIBid|tik!id501?volume"

here again I inserted my ID but nothing worked. I look forward to getting it worked.

Cut and paste this stuff onto the PRV sheet:

1. Shut down excel entirely
2. Open Mak's prv sheet. Click "yes" to enable macros (if the question pops up) and "no" to start the IQFeed.exe
3. Make the following changes.


into B19

=yourIBid|tik!id501?req?ES_FUT_200606_GLOBEX_USD


into B18

yourIBid|tik!id501?volume


into B17

now()-today()


4. Save
5. Close excel entirely
6. Restart the spreadsheet.
7. Click "yes" to enable macros.

(Some of that is fuzzy from when I did it.)
What txuk means is everywhere in the first two snips you see id501, this MUST be different from the str/squ sheet. Ireland used id301 and id302 on the str/squ sheet, so you should be ok there.

It will be to your benefit to learn to do some coding in excel and VBA. Please don't take this as a disparaging remark.

In cell g1 of the data sheet on the prv tool I use =your IB id|tik!id501?volume It also takes my sheet about 30 seconds to a minute before it starts working, otherwise it looks like you have it all.
