Can anyone post this chart without annotations? (preferably from Trade Navigator)

 

H.

 

Fashionably late. ;)

This should cover it:

Jbarnby- thanks a lot for posting your charts.

 

Inspired, I got back to work on this recently. Attached is a chart from 8/28 (done after hours). Thin blue is tape, thin magenta is 'below' that, medium lines are traverses. The end effects of the two traverses (and pt 3 of the second) are giving me some heartburn.

 

Any suggestions for improvement, or just error identification would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently making a charting program that can visualise any period of any ohlc data on a chart. I have ES 5 minute ohlc data starting from april 2009 up till now, execpt the 2 months I mention above. In attach you can see a screenshot of what it does. It's a basic degapped and correctly colored chart of a known channel as discussed somewhere in this thread.

Next on my list is displaying internals. (so called yellows)

 

This brings me to the following question, besides 2 consecutive closes outside a lateral, what is the other event that ends a lateral?

It looks great. Well done. Spyders toolset on TN kills a lateral with an IBGS and an OB that pokes outside (close does not matter). You need 3 closes outside if 1st two are part of formation.

No, it is not correctly degapped.

So why do you think it isn't correctly degapped? Sidenote: I did not degap every bar, only between days.

innersky

EVERY bar has to be degapped according to Jack's current guidelines.

Hi innersky,

 

Thank you for your planning to code indicators for lateral formation. The updated rule for ending a lateral is here---

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/technical-analysis/6320-price-volume-relationship-501.html#post179301

 

Conditions that End a Lateral:

 

1. 2 bar closes outside that in of themselves do not create a formation.

2. OB (regardless of the bars close, on increasing volume over the previous bar) that pierces upper and /or lower boundary on increasing volume.

3. Up IBGS on increasing volume (over the previous bar) that pierces the lower boundary.

4. Down IBGs (on increasing volume over the previous bar) that pierces the upper boundary.

5. A close outside the laterel that would be a 3rd close outside but being a bar

subsequent to point 1 above.

(ie: 2 bar closes outside that do form a formation in of themsleves and hence would not end the lateral

but then a subsequent (3rd) close outside, after the formation, would end the lateral).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please notice that there is Stitch with IBGS condition. I would like to provide necessary images of ending laterals if you need them for understanding the rules. May I ask you to update BarPaint2 (marks for IBGS) besides PV-BarFormations indie? TIA

Let's start with the creation of laterals....

 

I've attached a chart that jbarnby posted some time ago. Can anyone tell me why the circled area isn't a lateral?

 

If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say that it is because this area that looks like a lateral is completely filled with internals.

I am not planning to make changes to NinjaTrader indicators at this time... (but if it isn't a lot of work I'd consider making changes)

A good conlcusive ruleset for laterals would be nice...

 

I wonder if increasing volume really plays a role here? (I've seen otherwise in Trade Navigator) But I could be wrong of course.

I can give you a better explanation :). Those laterals have been drawn in manually. When I compare it to my TN with lateral study enabled it shows up as a lateral. Please find image attached

I'm not sure about that. If you look at his charts you'll notice that he also made other changes to the indicators. (like another color for stiches)

Also, I've seen exact the same thing on another chart from jbarnby...

I am confident about that. I manually drew them in and changed my colors to match his. I am sure other TN users can back up what I am saying.

 

Spyders lateral tool does not end laterals correctly in TN.

The chart has been updated and now displays internals (no laterals yet). For technical reasons they're displayed slightly differently compared to TN or NT, but it gets the job done.

Added laterals (see attached chart). Next step: automated gaussians.

Is there any reason you are annotating laterals in laterals, I don't recall Spyder doing that? Since the original lateral has not ended what do the internal laterals tell you?

 

Thanks

I assume they can be ignored, if they end inside the lateral where they started. But I didn't code that up. Yet.

hello!

 

can anyone please help me understand the clean page 4 rules

 

TIA

gltrader

 

gltrader,

 

I'm not familiar with any specific "rules" about clean page 4, but elsewhere in cyberspace there is an abundance of posts about "clean page 4". You may have better luck increasing your understanding if you start there, study the discussions, and come back here to ask specific questions, if necessary.

In the attached chart you can see automated gaussians in their most basic form. R2R 2B 2R and vice versa.

That was the easy (technical) part, now the real thing can begin. Iterative refinement.

Making small (price and volume context) modifications and see how it turns out.

 

The result, based on these gaussians and without slippage is -1.5.

I'm pretty confident that this can be improved :-)

Keep up the good work. You may run into fractal jumping. As an example in your 2B ( your fractal) you may have a b2b2r2b, where you are assigning the 2r part of the sub fractal to your 2B fractal.

    • I'm pretty sure that a Russian resident would say that recessions are real today. Their prime interest rate is 21%, their corporate military contractors are threatening to file bankruptcy, and sticks of butter are kept under lock and key in their grocery stores because shoplifters are stealing it in bulk so they can resell it on the black market. A downturn is cyclical until it turns into a collapse. I really don't think anyone will be buying-into this mess.😬
    • Well said. This principle is highly analogous to trading. Any human can easily click buy or sell when they "feel" that price is about to go up or down. The problem with feeling, commonly referred to as "instinctive" trading, is that it cannot be quantified. And because it cannot be quantified, it cannot be empirically tested. Instinctive trading has the lowest barrier to entry and therefore returns the lowest reward. As this is true for most things in life, this comes as no surprise. Unfortunately, the lowest barrier to entry is attractive to new traders for obvious reasons. This actually applied to me decades ago.🤭   It's only human nature to seek the highest amount of reward in exchange for the lowest amount of work. In fact, I often say that there is massive gray area between efficiency and laziness. Fortunately, losing for a living inspired me to investigate the work of Wall Street quants who refer to us as "fishfood" or "cannonfodder." Although I knew that we as retail traders cannot exploit execution rebates or queues like quants do, I learned that we can engage in automated scalp, swing, and trend trading. The thermonuclear caveat here, is that I had no idea how to write code (or program) trading algorithms. So I gravitated toward interface-based algorithm builders that required no coding knowledge (see human nature, aforementioned). In retrospect, I should never have traded code written by builder software because it's buggy and inefficient. However, my paid subscription to the builder software allowed me to view the underlying source code of the generated trading algo--which was written in MQL language. Due to a lack of customization in the builder software, I inevitably found myself editing the code. This led me to coding research which, in turn, led me to abandoning the builder software and coding custom algo's from scratch. Fast forward to the present, I can now code several trading strategies per day across 2 different platforms. Considering how inefficient manual backtesting is, coding is a huge advantage. When a new trading concept hits me, I can write the algo, backtest it, and optimize it within an hour or so--across multiple exchanges and symbols, and cycle through hundreds of different settings for each input. And then I get pages upon pages of performance metrics with the best settings pre-highlighted. Having said all of this, I am by no means an advanced programmer. IMHO, advanced programmers write API gateways, construct their own custom trading platforms, use high end computers with field programmable gateway array chips, and set up shop in close proximity to the exchanges. In any event, a considerable amount of work is required just to get toward the top of the "fishfood"/"cannonfodder" pool. Another advantage of coding is that it forces me to write trade entry and exit conditions (triggers) in black & white, thereby causing me to think microscopically about my precise trade trigger conditions. For example, I have to decide whether the algo should track the slope, angle, and level of each bar price and indicator to be used. Typing a hard number like 50 degrees of angle into code is a lot different than merely looking at a chart myself and saying, that's close enough.  Code doesn't acknowledge "maybe" nor "feelings." Either the math (code) works (is profitable) or doesn't work (is a loser). It doesn't get angry, sad, nor overly optimistic. And it can trade virtually 24 hours per day, 5 days per week. If you learn to code, you'll eventually reach a point where coding an algo that trades as you intended provides its own sense of accomplishment. Soon after, making money in the market merely becomes a side effect of your new job--coding. This is how I compete, at least for now, in this wide world of trading. I highly recommend it.
