That's awesome! Can't wait to try it.

Here are the last three screen shots. #7 is a bonus 15 pointer!

I was goofing off today and decided to compare three of the Paint Bar Indicators I have collected to see which one does the best job. By the way, I hope everybody made a lot of money today the market was really moving. If you had only used PB's, you would have cleaned house. The PBs top left I found on the TS forum last night and work very well and sport 3 colors. A warning color was added that shows weakness in the trend or a change is happening. This is my new friend. Top right is TTM Trend PBs. Bottom left are my old "Modified HA" PBs that report eactly like TTM Trend PBs. See ya later. Bottom right is regular colored candlesticks. I actually think these would be the best thing to use if you could read them. These are for the experts. Notice these are always the quickest to call direction but give mixed signals if you can't read the formations. If anyone would like to try the 3 color PBs, let me know and I will post the eld.

Brownsfan, I am interested in what you are sharing with us. What volume per bar do you use or how do you determine what volume per bar to use? I'm very new to day-trading so I'm not set in my ways or locked into any particular style yet. I think your points are well stated and merit their own thread. This could be a huge breakthrough for me and others. Let the market tell you what it is going to do through volume candles. I like it. Maybe SoulTrader or another mod will be so kind as to split this thread into a new topic so we don't hijack MrPaul's thread.

Yes. You have to set "Addition Data" with a right click/format to look back in time.

I just bought this book. Candlestick Charting Explained: Timeless... - Google Book Search

I made that RadarScreen for TradeStation TT&V (Tick, Trin & Vix) indicator. Color coded for bearish, bullish or neutral, shows the actual number and whether its going up or down. It's in the dl section. With VIX (vix.x for TS), 20 or over is totally bearish, 12 or under is totally bullush, so the experts say.

The EL code is open and you could modify it if you wanted. This indicator is a colaboration between a few people from the TS forums. I posted it here for convenience.

So tomorrow should be rollover day right?

After the recent drop in the market, I heard one of the market mavens on TV talking about "The VIX" market indicator. It sounded interesting to me so I coded it into Ward's_TnT_Zone. Then a light bulb went off and I rewrote the whole thing in a more efficient way, hence the new name of the indicator. The old indicator still works but this one is better. With this indicator you can track $TICK, $TRIN, $TIKQ, $TRINQ and $VIX.x all in one little RadarScreen. I have preset each one to the recommended alert levels but you can adjust them to your preferences via user inputs. If the item(s) you are tracking is within a bullish zone, you get a green light. If it is in a bearish zone you get a red light. If it is in a neutral zone, you get yellow. The precise increment number is also plotted on the indicator as well as whether it is rising or falling. Good luck with your trading! WARDS_TTNV.ELD

OK back on topic. I did some more testing tonight (Sunday the 25th) and it looks like the default settings were too sensitive. I found the best results when I started the XAverages at 4 and then 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 for a single instance of the indicator. If you do two, do 4, 6,8,10,12 etc on the first and 4, 18,20,22,24 etc on the second. I've updated the indicator's defaults and attached it. ============ Tested it some today (Monday the 26th) live. It works as planned. Using one instance at default settings with 200 bars of data added, worked perfectly! However, using two instances of it with one point increments (4,5,6,7,8,9, etc) for the EMAs is too sensitive. The spread between the EMAs must be two points (4,6,8,10,12,14 etc). You can play with it to see what works best for you but I say use a 2 point spread. Cheers. Wards_EMA_Power.ELD

Boiled down and in a nutshell. There were complaints from the people trying to sell indicators because everytime TRO saw something new, he would code it. Then somebody reported that in his eld files he has "I will gladly except all donations. Send them to P.O.Box bla bla bla" so that was the opportunity to banish him. That broke some rule or something. It went something like that but I wasn't there.

Originally found in TRO's Motherlodes. He updated this particular indicator this week. Attached. _GRIDIRON_II_SR15.ELD

Yes I am familiar with Avery's work and because of his work I got RS too! hahahah My favorites of Avery's are the _Gridiron_II_SR15, SMAA_ROC and SMAA_LLMACD. I'm trying out SMAA_VolumeSpike. I also like a lot of the others but I found myself over indicated! I think the best one by far is the Gridiron Pivots. I can't see myself trading without it. I created a couple basic color coded indicators to compliment the one's I just mentioned. I haven't put them on the downloads section here yet but you can find them here: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/18/ts-radarscreen-1127-2.html#post5925 So for now I have: Rate of Change Fast MACD Slow Stochastics On Balance Volume Volume Spikes 12 EMAs Tick and Trin Time and Sales Tick Delta HA Paint Bars All that and a crisp clean chart to look at. All put together it looks like the screenshot attached. I use my mouse wheel on the top left RS to change between the chart intervals. Scroll and click. There is another really good RS indicator you should try. That one is called "Tradable Symbols" and it can be found on the TS forums.

Sure. Everything keys off of XAverage1. As it moves, touches or crosses any other XAverage, the cells light. Green means it is above it, red below it and yellow for the same as it. Then, the +,-, and = signs tell you which way between each Xaverage the Xaverage1 is pointing. Some say trade when a 4 EMA crosses an 8 EMA (or the 3 and 6 or whatever). This indicator is more sensitive than that on the first few EMAs and less sensitive on the later EMAs at default settings. It is up to you to decide how many greens or reds it takes for you to make a trade. One green? Three greens? Five? That is up to you. Also, just say you are in a long trade and all your lights are green. Price has a pullback, and the first 2 lights turn red. You know you should stay in the trade for more profit because you have previously decided that it takes at least four reds before you make a trade. You can use it to put you in a trade and to take you out. But you have to see it live and decide what your tolerance/risk levels are. Probably best to watch the the same interval chart and Radar at first to see how it behaves. Then make a decision of what works best for you. And by the way, I started writing this indicator this past Friday afternoon and only had 3 plots at that time. It was after the close of the day, last night, when I decided to add 3 more so I haven't even seen this in action yet, in all it's glory! However, I do feel confident that it will work as intended. My idea is to use it as a "strength meter". With only 3 plots it was working and looked great. With 6 or 12 it should rock. I tested it on multiple symbols, time frames and looked at magnified charts to make sure it was working properly. If you notice any oddities, let me know and we can adjust it. One thing I did notice is that when price is flat, you may get all of one color depending on which way price is slightly trending. So you do still need to look at the chart. At those times, note that price is flat and then when price makes a break one way or the other, you'll know what to do. It appears to work best at up and down times. Keep that in the back of your mind.

{===========================================} {=== _Ward's_EMA_Power =====================} {===========================================} {This indicator is used help you decide whether to take a trade or get out of a trade. It uses EMA cross overs to color the radar screen cells green, yellow or red depending on which direction the "signal EMA" (XAverage1) is moving. This is basically a RadarScreen Indicator for a "ribbon" of EMAs. By default, the cells will light up in order letting you know how "strong" or "weak" the trade indication. You can also load two instances of this indicator setting the averages in sequence 4 through 10 on the first and then 4, 11, 12, 13,14, 15 and 16 on the second to make a bar of tweve cells. This looks really cool if you like things like that. Also, this indicator gives signals letting you know if the EMA is rising (+), falling (-) or the same as last bar (=). Remember, trading is risky so use this indicator at your own risk! I hope this helps make your trading a little more fun.} {Note: Make sure you load at least enough additional bars of data for the longest EMA that you use!} Below I have attached a couple of screenshots. One shows what the EMAs "see" on a chart and the other is to illistrate that you could still have a clean chart if you wanted to or use some other indicator along with this one. I was trying to create an EMA crossover trade indicator using two EMAs. Then it hit me. If two EMAs are good, wouldn't 12 be better? Then you could see how strong or weak the signal is or know if you should stay in a trade or not. Some people say EMAs lag because they are a result of history. To overcome this you may be able to do the following. You could set the indicator to use say 25 tick bars (or less) while you look at and trade off of a 1 minute chart. That way you are getting trade signals from the indicator before your chart even shows what is happening! In the images, I have two instances of the indicator loaded in the same RadarScreen. The settings on the first instance are 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and on the second 4,11,12,13,14,15,16. I also have loaded 200 additional bars of data. Signals happen when the 4 EMA crosses over or touches any of the other EMAs. You don't have to use two instances of this indicator for it to work properly. The defaults are setup for 1. Some people don't want to use up 2 indicators worth of valuable desktop real estate. Enjoy! WARDS_EMA_POWER.ELD

I'm afraid it does change. It is only good to see the history, after the fact. The big dots don't appear until a few bars back. All it is good for is to help you see how the price has been moving. Maybe help you see a setup coming. I wouldn't use it for a trade signal. So there is no confusion, I didn't create these. I only found them. In the video, the guy shows how he thinks they should be used and in what combinations to get signals. I think these are Roy Kelly knock offs.

Sure... You can get a whole slew of them at this site This is some free Tradestation software Warning: Don't trust the "Cycle Identifier" indicator. The indications will change on you!

True, my chart is a little busy. hahaha... You should have seen it before! That is the whittled down version! Bare minimum! hahahaha I know the MA's lag a little but I'm not as good as you yet. Once I get a little more comfortable I'm sure I will be able to remove more.

Hmm, well I guess I'm still in a pickle then. I'll be using TS only which means I still need to figure out whether I use.. Option 1: Always use @YM on charts and in the order bar. or Option 2: Use @YM on the chart but use the current symbol in the order bar. If option 2 is the correct answer then I definately need to get the first question about the dates verified right or wrong. Maybe SoulTrader will slip in here and clue me in since he has traded with TS.

Being reletively new to trading and absolutely new to TradeStation, I have been on a hunt for the past 2 months for the best trade indicators that suit my planned style of trading. That being said, I now have a huge collection of TS indicators of all types and fashions with all types of bells and whistles. The point that I would like to make is that after seeing with my own eyes, all these indicators in action, I have come to the conclusion that while some are pretty good, it appears to me that it is easy to confuse yourself with indecision by using too many at a time. You have this one saying "Buy", this one saying "Wait" and another saying "Sell". And to top it all off, none of the indicators I have seen to date are more accurate than the good old MA's. To show what I mean I have attached an image from yesterday. On this picture I have PaintBars, 3 MA's, Auto Channel Lines, Auto Pivots, and a Swing HiLo indicator. To me, this is all you need (maybe a little too much for some) to get a clear picture of what the market is doing and what I need to do to make a good trade. The plan is when red crosses white, make the trade. Blue is there to show the trend and keep you in or out in the bumpy times.

bf, thank you. I'm beginning to get a grasp on all this but your post raises another question for me. I agree with you that @YM makes good horse sense. I like it. However, SoulTrader mentioned in another thread to use @YM on the chart and it will automatically switch to the latest contract for you like you expressed as well but he also implied (or at least I took it that way) that when you place an order to buy or sell, you need to use the correct months symbol such as YMH07. In a nutshell, use @YM on the chart but buy and sell the current symbol. Which is it? Option 1: Always use @YM on charts and in the order bar. Option 2: Use @YM on the chart but use the current symbol in the order bar. Thanks for you help guys. I'm just trying to get a crystal clear understanding of what I am planning to trade.

Thanks for the replies. It's starting to get a little clearer. Are my dates right?
