Does anyone know the logic why Spydertrader painted those bars in Red or Black?

 

TIA

 

That is a software setting. The volume must be the same ie. if price bar is red volume bar for that price bar must be red and and same for black and blue.

 

If the Open of the bar is greater than the Close of the same bar it is Black

If the Open of the bar is less than the Close of the same bar it is Red

If the Open=Close the bar is Blue ( I have coded it that way), generally when the bar is blue have a look and see if you think it should be black or red depending on price action.

 

Below is my TS code for a Paintbar

 

If Close < Open then

PlotPaintBar(High, Low, Close, Open, "-", Red);

 

If Close > Open then

PlotPaintBar(High, Low, Close, Open, "-", Black);

 

If Close = Open then

PlotPaintBar(High, Low, Close, Open, "-", Blue);

Thanks for that, I had a look at the code and the coding for the colours looks incorrect. It should not be using the previous bar for black and red. It should be the open and close of the current bar. Is MC coding different to TS?

 

In TS I use if C>O

 

Below is the code from MC

 

 

if c > c[1] then

color = upcol

else

if c < c[1] then

color = dncol

else

color = color[1];

feel free to customize it to your delight.

Jack and or Spyder spoke about “outside bars” as not common occurrences. In the markets I cover they are very common. I can’t seem to find any documentation on how to handle them with respect to taping.

 

 

I treat that bar as the change it direction of the tape, is that correct?

I see the OB as setting a new Pt1 on the fastest observable fractal (2 bar tapes). This may or may not be a new Pt1, 2, or 3 of the trading fractal.

Higher high and higher low bar means long (black). Lower low and lower high means short (red). All the other cases are internals (yellow), meaning they don't actually set a new direction. One exception to the first two statements is when they're inside a lateral.

There has been a feature request on Genesis' forum, which would be of great use to those of us using the 'gap-removal' tool in Trade Navigator. It would be nice to be able to move multiple annotated objects in one instance.

 

More people interested in the feature = More incentive for Genesis to implement it.

 

Feel free to express your opinion here:

Lateral Formations pattern recognition

 

Has anyone found any rules regarding lateral formations?

 

For example if the lateral is in a non-dom up trend, you would expect price to reverse on higher volume and or looking at which point the lateral is in the tapes.

 

The above is something I made up. I would you like to hear from people that have done work on laterals. I find laterals the most fascinating market structure.

What other scenario can you think of?

There are only 4 scenarios you can get a lateral in an up dom, down dom, up non-dom, down non-dom.

 

Regarding the different points (1,2, and 3) can be in any on the above, the lateral can be the start or finish of the 3 points.

 

On a side note has anyone looked at a higher time frame to see what the lateral is doing? I have attached Fridays ES 5min and 10 min chart and in the 10 min chart. The lateral is this case is forming higher lows on the 10 minute chart. On the 5 minute chart you are not able to see this.

I would stay with 5 min for now...

 

you can always find something to fit into some resolution (eg. why not try 4.9 min? or 5.1 min?).

 

 

 

ps. PV works at all fractals... you should see the message from the market, with or without the lateral.

Please elaborate on the messages you get from the markets with respect to laterals?

 

Thanks

Perhaps the attached helps...did this some weeks ago...is based on one of Jack Herhsey's "clean pages" (forgot the number)- anybody feels i missed something, please correct.

 

Cheerio,

sorry attachment did not go through...

looks great but I will add bar close as where bar closes in relation to bar high/ bar low is also important.

good point, you mean ibgs etc., which would constitute an IB change signal.....

I did not add it since the original text (JH clean page 2?3? It's somewhere in this thread) does not refer to it.... probably I should.

Actually, on second thought, the doc was about how to place tapes...so I think it is correct. In cases were you have closes that change the direction (Intra bar Gaussian Shifts), the tapes stay the same but an arrow denoting (future) change should be added...

 

Best,

Have a look at Spyder's Bar by Bar,

 

On bar 1, he speaks about increasing black volume and the price closes inside the previous bar, so a short is initiated. That black bar should be a red bar since the close is lower than the open, why is it black?

    • Date: 14th February 2025.   Can The NASDAQ Maintain Momentum at Key Resistance Level?     The price of the NASDAQ throughout the week rose more than 3.00% to bring the price back up to the instrument’s resistance level. However, while taking into consideration higher inflation, tariffs and the resistance level, could the index maintain momentum?   US Inflation Rises For a 4th Consecutive Month The US Consumer Price Index, or inflation, rose for a 4th consecutive month taking the rate even further away from the Federal Reserve’s target. Analysts were expecting the US inflation rate to remain unchanged at 2.9%. However, consumer inflation rose to 3.00%, the highest since July 2024, while Producer inflation rose to 3.5%. Higher inflation traditionally triggers lower sentiment towards the stock market as investors' risk appetite falls and they prefer the US Dollar. However, on this occasion bullish volatility rose. For this reason, some traders may be considering if the price is overbought in the short term.   Addressing these statistics, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that the Fed has yet to achieve its goal of curbing inflation, adding further hawkish signals regarding the monetary policy. Other members of the FOMC also share this view. Today, Raphael Bostic, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stated that the Fed is unlikely to implement interest rate cuts in the near future. This is due to ongoing economic uncertainty following the introduction of trade tariffs on imported goods and other policies from the Republican-led White House.   Most of the Federal Open Market Committee emphasizes additional time is needed to fully assess the situation. According to the Chicago Exchange FedWatch Tool, interest rate cuts may not start until September 2025.   What’s Driving The NASDAQ Higher? Earnings data this week has continued to support the NASDAQ. Early this morning Airbnb made public their quarterly earnings report whereby they beat both earnings per share and revenue expectations. The Earnings Per Share read 25% higher than expectations and Revenue was more than 2% higher. As a result, the stock rose more than 14%. Another company this week that made public positive earnings data is Cisco which rose by more than 2% on Thursday. Another positive factor continues to be the positive employment data. Even though the positive employment data can push back interest rate cuts, the stability in the short term continues to serve the interests of higher consumer demand. The US Unemployment Rate fell to 4.00% the lowest in 8 months. Lastly, investors are also increasing their exposure to the index due to sellers not being able to maintain control or momentum. Some economists also increase their confidence in economic growth if Trump can obtain a positive outcome from the Ukraine-Russia negotiations.   However, during Friday’s pre-US session trading, 80% of the most influential stocks are witnessing a decline. The NASDAQ itself is trading more or less unchanged. Therefore, the question again arises as to whether the NASDAQ can maintain momentum above this area.   NASDAQ - News and Technical analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ is largely witnessing mainly bullish indications on the 2-hour chart. However, the main concern for traders is the resistance level at $21,960. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is mainly experiencing bearish signals as the price moves below the 200-period simple moving average.   The VIX, which is largely used as a risk indicator, is currently trading 0.75% higher which indicates a lower risk appetite. In addition to this, bond yields trade 6 points higher. If both the VIX and Bond yields rise further, further pressure may be witnessed for index traders.   Always trade with strict risk management.
