Bid/ask Indicator?

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

In tradestation, is there a way to display a indicator that will show you the bid/ask entries.

 

Eotpro, they use it but for multichart, would be great if someone can do it for Tradestation?

 

Many thanks

eotpro is available for the TS platform, in fact Bill is fairly active on the TS forum. A little pricey at $144 per month lease, here is an explanation of the system by Bill:

I wanted to answer a question I received via PM to a MC user that asked:

 

"What is you trading based on? what triggers you in a trade?"

 

I use these these indicators to watch a few things

 

1. Price is the most important of them all and I use an indicator called the Patty B to trigger me in to the trade. It gives me a red or green dot.

 

2. Volume analysis is the next critical item. I use the indicator called Shelly's volume to help determine the Direction of volume and I want to make sure its moving in my trade direction

 

3. Cycles. I use the indicator called Market sync to help compare short and long cycles in the market to give the bias of the cycles.

 

4. Intermarket analysis. I use other markets to give me a heads up on what the e-minis are doing or likely to do.

 

All 4 of these things need to line up for me in order for me to make a trade. I consider when all these things line up to high probability trade

 

Hope that answers your question

Regards

Bill

Hi

What are you really asking for here?

 

Orders resting for the bid and ask? Use the TS order matrix (DOM) to see these.

 

Trades completed at the bid and ask? Use the Bid Ask Volume Ratio indicator in TS.

 

Or try this:

 

Bid-Ask Pressure Indicator

Hope this helps.

Thats what I wanted, is there a way to make it look like an indicator i.e. it gets overlayed onto the price rather then bar graphs

 

Thanks

 

Yes forsearch. Can you also make it cook and iron my clothes for me? :roll eyes: Joking Joking...

 

Theman: the nature of this indicator would not make sense overlaid on price.

 

Why would you want it overlaid on price? What exactly do you want this indicator for, if you don't mind me asking?

Sorry smwinc, maybe its my lack of knowledge, I think it should be ok with the bargraph.

 

Thanks

 

no apologies, the only people who aren't learning in this industry are the ones who gave up.

 

Cheers

    • Date: 21st February 2025.   European PMI Disappoint, Weighing on Euro Before German Elections   The Euro is the first currency to witness the volatility on this month’s PMI reports. The French, German and British PMI data have resulted in the Euro being the worst-performing currency of the European Session so far. However, will the Euro continue to decline throughout the day? European Purchasing Managers’ Indexes The French Purchasing Managers Index was the first European index to be made public. The release resulted in the Euro instantly declining 0.24%. The main concern from the French data was the Services PMI which fell from 48.2 to 44.5. Previously the market was expecting the data to remain more or less unchanged. The weak data triggered the decline which came to a halt after Germany’s PMI was released.     The German Manufacturing PMI read 0.5 points higher than previous expectations and the Services PMI was 0.2 points lower. The data from Germany was a relief for Euro investors and the price rose 0.12% higher. However, traders should note that the price of the EURUSD continues to remain 0.20% lower than yesterday’s close. The price of the EURUSD will now depend on the PMI data from the US. The value of the US Dollar will depend on its PMI release this afternoon and the Consumer Sentiment Index. Analysts expect both the US Services and Manufacturing PMI data to remain above the 50.00 level in the expansion zone. German Elections 2 Days Away Germany is set to hold a general election this Sunday, February 23rd, following the collapse of the coalition of social democrats, liberals, and greens. Given the country's highly proportional electoral system, German polls provide a strong indication of potential government formations post-election. The main concern for Germany is the AFD party who are Far-Right Nationalists. Currently, ahead in the polls are CDU (centre-right), and AFD (far right), followed by the SPD (centre-left). Traders should note that the results of the elections are likely to trigger strong volatility on Monday, but also influence volatility today. Economists may become further concerned if the far-right gains power for the first time due to uncertainty. If the government, similar to France, is unable to form a coalition, this would also be a concern for the Eurozone. Furthermore, the Euro this week is also under pressure from comments from members of the European Central Bank. ECB Governing Council member Fabio Panetta said to journalists that officials need not slow interest rate cuts, as January's 2.5% inflation is still expected to reach the 2.0% target this year. He also advised the European economy is weaker than previously expected. EURUSD - Technical Analysis and Indicators The EURUSD is trading above the 75-bar Exponential Moving Average and 100-bar Simple Moving Average on the 2-hour chart. However, the price is moving away from the key resistance level at 1.05058 indicating the price is losing momentum. The short-term volatility is indicating the price is retracing downwards. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is trading below the 200-bar SMA and is also forming clear lower lows and highs. Simultaneously, the US Dollar Index is trading above the 200-bar SMA on the 5-minute chart confirming no current conflicts. Currently, the US Dollar is the best-performing currency of the day attempting to regain losses from the past 2 weeks. Watch today’s Live Analysis Session for more signals as they develop!   Key Takeaway Points: Weak French Services PMI triggered an initial Euro decline, but German PMI provide a slight relief. However, EURUSD remains lower than yesterday’s close. The Euro’s direction now depends on the US PMI reports, with analysts expecting US data to stay in expansion territory. Sunday's German election could drive volatility, especially if the far-right AFD gains power or if coalition formation proves difficult. ECB official Fabio Panetta suggested no need to slow rate cuts, citing weaker-than-expected economic performance and expected inflation decline. Always trade with strict risk management.
