Market Heads-UP Display

Recommended Posts

Here is a screenshot of a Market HUD. While this software is in private use and not available for sale or lease, it does demonstrate some of the power available by combining processed data feeds.

 

This application shows the market's very vital signs and completley demonstrates and reports the surges of buying and selling that propel intra-session price surges. A refreshing look at something besides the same old bar charts.

 

There are many, smart, successful traders who know that technical innovation is often a pre-cursor to trading success. The purpose of this post is to illuminate by the presentation of new concepts and technologies and to stimulate a conversation that could lead to innovation of technique rather than a contiuous re-hash of the sameO, sameO.

 

The top line shows longer term trader commitment so far that session as well as current trade flow as measured by contracts per minute.

 

The red, yellow and green bars are buy/sell signals in 11 different time frames and a are constantly changing throughout the session.

 

Blue bars on the left show the percentage of time of day normalized volume in 6 different time frames.

 

The pie charts demonstrate the buying and selling during the most recent blocks of trade and are constantly pulsing with surges of buying and selling power.

 

The price ladder in the middle shows current and recent prices.

 

The red and green bars on the right show time of session normalized trader commitment over 6 time frames.

 

The balance of trade is shown on the bottom left and price on the bottom right.

Quite interesting stuff.

I totally agree with what you mentioned about time in the other thread.

For your smoothed midpoint price chart, what are you using to plot that? Volume?

What I'm trying to eventually get to is having something that is like a constant volume chart but more along the lines of a dynamic volume chart. I really haven't been able to figure out how to do that though.

Thank You, I am glad you like our HUD. We find it very useful.

 

We favor indicators that measure buying and selling strengths as opposed to indicators calculated solely on the basis of price inputs.

 

The RSI indiator is just a smoothed ratio of price change over time.

 

The Balance of Trade indicator shows the balance, or more importantly, the imbalance between buying and selling in the current order flow.

 

RSI only measures past price changes. It is not past changes in price that motivate future prices, it is only a change in the balance of trade that will change the direction of price. An imbalance of buy orders usually preceedes a price move up and vice versa.

 

Thanks for your interest and your kind words.

 

cheers

Hey UrmaBlume, sorry for posting in all of your threads, but I find all of them very interesting. Please clarify the following for better understanding:

 

The Balance of Trade indicator shows the balance, or more importantly, the imbalance between buying and selling in the current order flow.

 

What does 'buying' and 'selling' in the current order flow mean in concrete terms (since the every trade represents a buy and sell)? When you talk about 'buying and selling', 'buying and selling strengths', 'buying and selling power', 'buying and selling surges', are you always talking about the same concept or does each of these terms mean something different?

 

What do you mean by order flow? Time & sales or the changes in the order book?

 

The reason I am asking is that many people use some of these terms but they may mean something completely different.

question on the specific situation in this Heads Up Display (HUD)... not for this particular situations importance -- just as an example of walking through a situation to understand how this HUD is organized...

 

Any comment on my comments??

While you have missed a couple of important steps, you are certainly closing in on the basic concepts.

 

Here again most of this work is based on Peter's early teachings and is, what I believe to be, another bit of technology evolved from market profile theory that better and more precisely expresses some vital bits of information than does any version of the profile graphic - N.B. Information = Equity.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
