Free period ended today. Theres still a 2 week demo, 4 weeks if you sign up with infinity/apex or zenfire. Cheers,

I see no reason why a forex future should provide a valid volume profile anyway. Not so sure about the TPO letters though.

There is certainly benefit is doing a volume analysis on a forex future. I see no reason why it shouldnt represent high/low volume areas as per normal concepts. Not sure if the TPOs are of benefit though.

There seems to be some confusion. During early beta test the product was completely free hence the post from thrunner a few months back. What i meant by the last post was that the product was going to be free for another beta period. Of course one cant live on fresh air, i know the general public would like it for free and i would like to give it for free. As thrunner suggests there is authentication and after the beta period is deemed successful the free use is pulled. Hence to keep using the product there is a small fee 11.95 per month, or a outright licence free. If you sign up through infinity futures you get a reduced price. Contact them for details. There is no tiering of pricing. Nothing is deemed a premium feature. Why people charge $100's of dollars for a product is beyond me. That seems a rip off. I suppose its becuase they can, because there is no competition. Download it and see, you have nothing to lose. Make comments suggest improvemements, im a good listener. Yes there are single distributions, multiple distributions, tpo charts, vwap and block charts, independant charts. The road map is as follows, i dont like indicators, there are a few there but im not adding more. What i have in my sights is some sort of programming interface for drawing custom stuff and user strategies for trading off charts. Hope this clarifies.

Anyway i think we got a bit off topic. For those who want to try again, or try it for the first time, its free again from Oct 3rd. Rgs,

Of course, just about everything ive added to atrader has been at the request of a user. Thats how a hobby becomes a business. As regards, the other stuff. But the backfill is not part of the open api. The open API is what developers can use. That gives real time data only. What ninja do with their datawarehouse is another part of the system and not part of zenfire. Maybe im wrong but when i added the zen api there was no historical api. Maybe someone knows where the access to the historical api is? Anyway, Zen is not a primary API for me. Its a simplistic API and was something i could add quickly. Most users Zen users use NT and dont need anything else and the cost of zero helps... Thanks again.

Thanks for the comments. Just a couple of points. Zenfire doesnt provide a historical API for backfill AFAIK if im wrong please point me to the url. I think you are mistaking this with Ninja that stores its own historical data. You are correct there is no scrolling around charts using the mouse aka drag and drop so far, but i wasnt aware that was the deciding factor on whether something is considered low budget. But a lot of these quirks have been addressed with the quick nav toolbar in v2.0.6.1. If a lot of users consider this be be very important then it will be addressed, so far only a couple of people have mentioned it. Anyway i think its a good product considering i wrote it as a hobby to help my trading. Thanks

This is free again from 3rd October. Now has VWAP and numerous UI/GUI enhancements and much improved performance and stability. Works now with IB, Transact, Zenfire and DTN data feeds.

Sure. Heres some. The VWAP can also be calculated on any period of distribution. I find it helps to have VWAP and POC on the same chart as per the threads on this site on trading market statistics.

Hi, There is now some vwap analysis in ATRADER. At the moment its just a VWAP but soon it will include SD1 and SD2.

I would second that IB is a good broker to learn to trade with, they have access to just about everything you could possibly want to trade through the universal account. If you know exactly what you want to trade already you can pick brokers that offer what you want.

I was interested to know how anyone used and traded spreads. Ive heard this is a good way to trade and used by the pros. By this im meaning trading the spread between for example 1. an ES/TF/NQ combi pair. or 2. a dow stock and a dow index. Is it possible to effectively trade using these methods? Has anyone tried it in the past? What does one chart and what does one take as signals? Any examples would be great. What symbols are traded, id guess short the dow index and long that particular stock using a respective ratio. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance,

Sorry if this is a bit off topic. Am i right in assuming the followings. The TPOC is the line of price, where 50% of tpos are above and 50% of tpos are below. The VPOC is the line where the greatest volume traded. Rgs,

There is a movie on this site comparing transact to IB. Seems pretty good to me. Any comments? Created by Camtasia Studio 3
