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: 2nd April 2025.   Market on Edge: Tariff Announcement and Volatility Ahead!   The US economic and employment data continues to deteriorate with the job vacancies figures dropping to a 5-month low. In addition to this, the IMS Manufacturing PMI also fell below expectations. However, both the US Dollar and Gold declined simultaneously following the release of the two figures, an uncommon occurrence in the market. Traders expect a key factor to be today’s ‘liberation day’ where the US will impose tariffs on imports. USDJPY - Traders Await Tariff Confirmation! Traders looking to determine how the USDJPY will look today will find it difficult to determine until the US confirms its tariff plan. Today is the day when Trump previously stated he would finalize and announce his tariff plan. The administration has not yet released the policy, but investors expect it to be the most expansionary in a century. President Trump is due to speak at 20:00 GMT. On HFM's Calendar the speech is stated as "US Liberation Day Tariff Announcement". Currently, analysts are expecting Trump’s Tariff Plan to impose tariffs on the EU, chips and pharmaceuticals later today as well as reciprocal tariffs. Economists have a good idea of how these tariffs may take effect, but reciprocal tariffs are still unspecified. In addition to this, 25% tariffs on the car industry will start tomorrow. The tariffs on the foreign cars industry are a factor which will particularly impact Japan. Although, traders should note that this is what is expected and is not yet finalised. Last week, President Trump stated that he would implement retaliatory tariffs but allow exemptions for certain US trade partners. Treasury Secretary Mr Bessent and National Economic Council Director Mr Hassett suggested that the restrictions would primarily target 15 countries responsible for the bulk of the US trade deficit. However, yesterday, Trump contradicted these statements, asserting that additional duties would be imposed on any country that has implemented similar measures against US products. The day’s volatility will depend on which route the US administration takes. The harshness of the policy will influence both the Japanese Yen as well as the US Dollar.   USDJPY 5-Minute Chart   US Economic and Employment Data The JOLT Job Vacancies figure fell below expectations and is lower than the previous month’s figure. The JOLT Job Vacancies read 7.57 million whereas the average of the past 6 months is 7.78 million. The ISM Manufacturing Index also fell below the key level of 50.00 and was 5 points lower than what analysts were expecting. The data is negative for the US Dollar, particularly as the latest release applies more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, this is unlikely to happen if the trade policy ignites higher and stickier inflation. In the Bank of Japan’s Governor's latest speech, Mr Ueda said that the tariffs are likely to trigger higher inflation. USDJPY Technical Analysis Currently, the Japanese Yen Index is the worst performing of the day while the US Dollar Index is more or less unchanged. However, this is something traders will continue to monitor as the EU session starts. In the 2-hour timeframe, the USDJPY is trading at the neutral level below the 75-bar EMA and 100-bar SMA. The RSI and MACD is also at the neutral level meaning traders should be open to price movements in either direction. On the smaller timeframes, such as the 5-minute timeframe, there is a slight bias towards a bullish outcome. However, this is only likely if the latest bearish swing does not drop below the 200-Bar SMA.     The key resistant level can be seen at 150.262 and the support level at 149.115. Breakout levels are at 149.988 and 149.674. Key Takeaway Points: Job vacancies hit a five-month low, and the ISM Manufacturing PMI missed expectations, adding pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate decisions. Traders await confirmation on Trump’s tariff policy, which is expected to impact the EU, chips, pharmaceuticals, and foreign car industries. The severity of the tariffs will influence both the JPY and the USD, with traders waiting for final policy details. The Japanese Yen Index is the worst index of the day while the US Dollar Index is unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
