New Features in Investor/RT 9.1

Recommended Posts

We are on the verge of releasing 9.1 and I wanted to start highlighting some of the new features to look forward to. We should have a beta ready next week, possibly early in the week. I'll be adding to the list below over the coming days.

 

1) Support for the TransAct/Infinity platform.

 

We are putting the finishing touches on the integration of Investor/RT and TransAct/Infinity data. We are excited about launching this combination in beta over the coming week. This should be a very powerful combination.

 

2) Ability to compute the average volume or average range of time periods throughout the day.

 

Over the years I've had a number of request along the following lines: "Is there any way for me to compute the average volume of the first 5 minutes of the session over the last 10 session (50 session, etc). Then compute the avg volume of the 2nd 5-minute period, etc. And then be able to compare the volume of that period today with the average to get a relative strength. I've no added options to Session Statistics indicator to do this type of per-bar averaging, and to do it not only on volume, but range, change, and many other criteria.

 

Below is an example:

These are 30-minute bars/brackets, showing the average ranges and volumes over a 50 day period of each 30-minute bracket. The relative strengths are also included (dividing the current value by the average, then multiplying by 100). From this chart, you can clearly see, not surprisingly, that the first 30 minutes of the session carries the heaviest volume and largest range (on average), followed closely by the 2nd 30-minute period.

 

3) Cloning Trendlines and extending them into the future.

 

Trendlines can now be easily cloned (duplicating the trendlines with those of same length and slope) and dragged so that the endpoints extend into the future (past the current bar).

 

4) Cumulative VWAP from any starting date/time

 

We've added the ability to create cumulative VWAP lines beginning at any past date/time and going to present. These can be easily duplicated/dragged/dropped for quick positioning at extreme highs / lows. These are useful for creating support and resistance lines during uptrend and downtrends when drawn from extreme lows and highs respectively.

 

5) Market Profile custom TPO sequence

 

Users may now specify their own sequence of TPOs instead of the standard ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQ.... Users may specify not only letters, but numbers, or other characters such as +, -, $, #, etc. The sequence specified will be repeated if more there are more letters in the profile than specified. For instance, if a user specified simple "+" then "+" would be used over and over for each TPO. This new feature works well in conjunction with the ability to custom the color of each TPO. Here is an extreme example:

Awesome updates, Chad.

 

Couple of questions:

 

A. Will there ever be support for OEC / Open E Cry in I/RT or Market Delta?

 

B. Is there support for tick-by-tick data replay on demand ?

forsearch,

 

I have now downloaded and taken a look at the API for open e cry. That could be in our near future but no guarantees.

 

Take a look at this video on global playback: http://www.linnsoft.com/videos/playback/

 

Thanks - will do.

Another note on the feature I mentioned above to "compute the average volume or average range of time periods throughout the day." This can be applied to any time-based periodicity, including minute bars, or second bars. You can also do averages of the cumulative values (volumes, ranges, etc) for the session, at each bar through the session. You can see a good example below which shows the 10 day averaging of the cumulative volume (3rd pane). You can clearly see from the curve how the volume ramps up in the morning, levels off around lunchtime, and then ramps back up into the close. The 3rd pane shows the relative strength...how the cumulative volume of the day measured up at each bar compared to the average volume at that point for the previous 10 days.

Here's an hourly chart showing the average volumes of each hour (10 day). I've flagged the first bar of each week. About 450,000 contracts, on average, trade during the first hour of the session for the ES.

A new option has been added to the Zig Zag Indicator to allow users to automatically draw fib levels at users specified percentages. Also, the user now has the option to "box" each leg of the zig zag. Here is an example of both in action:

    • Date: 10th March 2025.   SNP500 Hits a 6-Month Low: Trade Policy & Recession Fears Weigh on Market`s.   The SNP500 completes a 3-week decline and falls to its lowest price since September 2024. The price continues to remain under pressure from President Trump’s trade policy. In addition to this, investors are becoming increasingly cautious about a potential US recession. SNP500 - Trade Policy and The Federal Reserve’s View On The Economy The US Non-Farm Employment data on Friday read lower than what analysts were expecting. However, the data does not yet indicate a recession. Investors are increasingly showing a lower risk appetite and cautiousness due to Trump’s trade policy on China, Mexico and Canada. The NFP Change read 151,000, 8,000 lower than predictions and the Unemployment Rate rose to 4.1%. The poor price movement is more driven by comments from the US President. Yesterday evening on Fox News, the US President addressed concerns about a potential US recession, advising the economy will undergo ‘a period of transition.’ However, some see this as a subtle warning of a short economic downturn. Though the Chairman of the Federal Reserve is taking a different tone and looking to reassure the market.     Mr Jerome Powell advises the FOMC is not expecting or worried about a US recession. ‘The US economy remains in a strong position despite heightened uncertainty,’ Powell stated at a University of Chicago event. He also said that sentiment readings have been a reliable tool for predicting consumption growth in recent years. ‘There is no need to rush, we are in a good position to wait for more clarity,’ was his answer to questions about interest rates. On the one hand, the SNP500 may witness support from the positive comments from the Fed regarding the economy. He also clarified that certain economic indicators are not predicting a recession regardless of the lower figures. However, the comments on interest rates and keeping them unchanged for a longer period can pressure the price of the index. Will The SNP500 Continue Declining? The FedWatch tool indicated a 92% chance of a pause in this month’s Fed Rate Decision, but the figure has risen to 97%. If the possibility of a rate cut continues to be unlikely in the near future, the SNP500 may continue to remain under pressure. Currently, the VIX, an index used as an indication of risk, is trading more than 4.00% higher. For this reason, the VIX continues to indicate a poor performance in the short-term. Asian and European indices are trading lower this morning as are US indices. As a result, the performance of the global stock market shows a ‘risk off’ sentiment. SNP500 - Technical Analysis The price of the SNP500 is currently trading 0.73% lower and gains bearish momentum as the European market opens. In the 2-hour timeframe, the price is trading below the main Moving Averages and VWAP. The index also remains within the ‘sell’ zone of the RSI and MACD. On the 3-minute chart, the price remains below the 200-bar SMA and sell signals may continue to materialize for as long as the price remains below this level.     Key Takeaways: The SNP500 has declined for three consecutive weeks, hitting its lowest level since September 2024. The main cause of pressure is from Trump’s trade policies and recession concerns. Weaker-than-expected US employment data raised caution. However, the Fed reassured markets, stating there is no imminent recession and no rush to adjust interest rates. The FedWatch tool now shows a 97% chance of a rate pause, reducing hopes for near-term cuts. Technical indicators suggest continued bearish momentum, with the index trading below key moving averages and remaining in the sell zone on RSI. Always trade with strict risk management.
