Spy, do you pay attention to flaws on the YM for signals of change/cont, or does that not fall within the constructs of "sufficiency"?

When trading on the Forest / Tree Level, single bar flaws on the YM often translate to Intra-Bar changes on the ES. As such, I don't trade flaw bars which generate from the YM. However, I do note the appearance of flaws - especially those which provide an early warning of a dominant trend shift (those that appear to show up in a non-dominant traverse).

Please see attached an example of an xls that I put together to show various characteristics of the DOM in real time summarized as follows:


1. This is an IB feed using standard IB DDE syntax, performance is good because excessive calculations are not taking place. Data is replaced instantly in each cell.

Thanks Mikey; I was working on this over the weekend but did not get far. Look forward to seeing the .xls.

Also, what are the symbols IB uses to transmit these data? I've asked them and they claim they don't know????
If I can get the symsbols, I might be able to use them in Tradestation using a 3rd party data server.

They aren't separate symbols, but rather specific syntax. You still use the symbol for ES and the proper expiry, but then specify "last", "volume" , and other parameters like those for market depth. You can download and review the API documentation from IB's web site.

Thanks, but strange the IB tech guys didn't know this.

Hey Spyder,

I shorted at 15:25 bar and thought everything was good b/c the next bar went lower on increasing red volume. Is this bar not an FTT but a flaw? :confused:
