YOu're right, bubba - --

But for some reason my chart looks different than yours. I have the close just under the open of the day in ES.

 

I nervously put on a few shorts into the close. This is a choppy market, I'm not saying that it won't go higher in the coming weeks, but I think there will be a return at least to today's VWAP.

This is the andrew's line for NQ. ES looks more bullish, ER2 looks like the NQ. This looks like a short term target to me.

If NQ and ER2 had more bullish targets using Andrew's, I'd be more convinced.

 

ER2 rising 3 days on declining volume. I don't buy it.

hmm.. probably something goofy w/ my charts. i have 24h charts & IB data so no telling.
IB generally has fewer bars vs a real tick feed when imported into a tick chart. May I ask you how you are importing IB data into TS2000? Is this real time?

whoa - you certainly have more bars on yours, lol.

and is that a wolfe wave indicator? looks like it's working well.

 

i use MetaserverRT to collect/ import data to ts2000i - works good.

it's real time and has been solid, even on FOMC days.

.

 

Some friends of mine and I did a realtime test to determine whose data was the best. We kept track of how many tick bars appeared on a chart over a given length of time. In our test, eSignal gave 80 bars, Tradestation gave 60 bars and IB gave only 40.

 

The difference, I believe, lies in the algorithms that each company uses to clean up its data and get rid of bad ticks.

 

What we should have done is to continue the test to see whether the differences actually affected our trading. I think that's an interesting experiment to do.

 

Maybe this is worthy of being the subject of a new thread. Several threads are skirting this issue now, including this one and the VSA thread.

Yes, that is just the Lee Ww from this thread: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/wolfe-wave-indicator-needed-2686.html#post26261 with some color coding added. Just a kludge, but it does the basics. Thanks for the info; it that the IB specific version or the DDE version of MetaserverRT ?

Thanks for the info, TZ. I believe IB only gives a snapshot of ticks at 10 times per second for futures data (previously about 3 times slower at 3 times per second). So they never claimed to give true tick data.

it's the IB specific version. i believe you can download the demo version from http://www.traderssoft.com/ts/msrt/demo/ and it's usable without a time limit. can only connect 2 symbols however.

 

yeah, i hooked that indicator up..but it would appear you've managed to get better performance than me. i should fiddle with it some more.

Same Wolfe Wave, but here on a 5 minute chart. The pattern's not as pretty as it is on a 466 tick chart, but here (on the 5' chart) you can more easily see why this WW worked so well---see notes on chart.

I find that a Wolfe Wave failure, meaning failure to reach anywhere close to the 1-4 line after point 5 had been established, sets up some of the best bull/bear flag formations.

Hey Bubba, can you put up a chart of what you see? OAC, do you have any examples? I think you may be right.

What I see happening with a WW failure is basically point 5 ending up moving down the line lower in a bullish scenario.

In other words, after point 5 is established, the market keeps chopping lower and you have to re-enter.

In a wolfe wave scenario, there is no trend intact - - so the market may not be ready to go up to the 1-4 line. Timing is off due to cycles on higher time frames. The ER2 example I started this thread out with was an example of this.

Sooner or later this board will find an example on the daily chart that we can all watch unfold together. I have a suspicion that there may be a bullish example developing in the S&P....

OAC, I don't see that right away. Please give us an example or two. Thanks!

ok - this will display my 'noobness', sorry..

a wolfewave is also a bull/bear flag - correct?

so, I'm wondering if OAC is referring to a WW that has pivoted from

point 4, and before hitting point 5, turns - and breaches the 2-4 trendline.

hence, breaking out of the 'flag'. wouldn't this be a breakout of the bull/bear flag and a tradable pattern?

Sparrow, yours had another suspect #2 pt, but it worked! Goes to show that either you can find examples of anything, or that the #2 point rule isn't so important.!!!

 

Bubba- I have been seeing things your way, particularly your blue lines on the second pattern, though I used the low three days after your first point.

It's pretty early for this pattern though.

 

Here's my view of ES and RUT.X

 

The ES parallel channel (Daily Chart):

 

Initiates at the 50% mark of the previous trend, it has already proven itself once, now we are near confirmation. I like how it failed on both the top and bottom of the channel to break. As Gann said - as above, so below.

 

$Rut.x 60 minute chart:

 

Wide ascending parallel channel. Notice the breakaway gap occurs at 50% level. A lower open tomorrow may confirm this channel.

Today's price action is divergent with TRIX indicator.

 

Personally, I'm short.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
