Figaro here. How many times does the mini S&P future touch or exceed the R3 or S3 range on pivot points?

Its difficult say, if you don't clarify on what interval your question is intended.

 

1 month back?

 

1 year back?

 

10 years back?

 

from 1975 to now?

 

from 2000 to 2005?

 

And if you finally got several different numbers?

 

Can you trust them?

 

And what are they good for?

 

 

Please excuse me,

but maybe you explain a little bit more, to receive more valuable answers than mine.

 

Anyway, here is mine:

 

More less, than not.

 

 

PEACE,

 

Hal.

 

P.S.: Welcome, and also don't take me serious, was just fun. :rofl:

it is quite easy to do...

 

if you have a programmable charting software.

 

Here is a code example.

It is programmed in EasyLanguage. You can use it in MultiCharts, Tradestation, OEC, TraderStudio, etc., just to name a few.

 

 

I have applied it to the daily SPX index,

(You can get the data free from Yahoo, MSN or Google)

 

 

Sample: Jan 2, 1962 to July 20, 2009

# of trading days: 11,969

The market exceeded R3 or S3 732 times since Jan 2, 1962.

 

 

enjoy !

Amazing

 

Where do i find this log file in my computer?

 

Tams,

I have several ideas that i would like to check and i think that this method of the log file is the best.

 

Do you want to join to a short exploring adventure in the markets?

 

I think that i have very good ideas...

i am using TS.

Should i write you the ideas?

Thanks

 

 

You are welcome to share your ideas here.

We can make it a community effort.

 

 

 

If you are into statistics... the analysis is endless.

 

e.g.

-- how many times the market reached R1 and flipped?

-- how many times the market reached BOTH R1 and S1?

-- how many times the market traded outside 2 standard deviation?

-- what happened the next day?

-- -- how many times down and how many time up?

-- many times the market go up X days in a row?

-- what is the widest range day?

 

these are just some of the ideas many people have tested.

 

 

;-)

Hi,

 

Dr Brett steenberger wrote about:

 

" Relative Volume for ES Futures-

Recent posts have emphasized the relationship between volume and volatility (and between VIX and volatility) as key to anticipating trading movement and opportunity. The specific tool that I've found most helpful in anticipating intraday movement is what I call relative volume: the comparison of volume at a certain time of day with the median volume for that time of day. When relative volume is above average, we can expect good movement in the ES futures; when we have below average volume, trade is often narrow and range bound.

 

Below are the half-hour periods of the regular trading day, the median volumes in ES for 2009, and the standard deviations for each of those. I've found these norms to be quite helpful in identifying when volume is picking up and slowing down, which alerts me to whether markets are facilitating trade at particular key price levels. All times are Central Time US:

 

8:30 AM - 242,978 (55,247)

9:00 AM - 208,202 (50,743)

9:30 AM - 173,246 (43,980)

10:00 AM - 142, 250 (53,507)

10:30 AM - 117,904 (46,620)

11:00 AM - 104,093 (36,316)

11:30 AM - 97,808 (32,632)

12 Noon - 108,429 (36,057)

12:30 PM - 113,074 (41,832)

13:00 PM - 133,750 (60,438)

13:30 PM - 147,448 (60,432)

14:00 PM - 180,139 (53,454)

14:30 PM - 264,140 (84,050)

15:00 PM (15 minute period) - 112,686 (31,815)"

 

Tams, do you have a idea how to create a log file of the average vol for different intervals?

 

Thanks

You are referring to the same post just to page 1.

 

Where can i see the log file in trade station?

 

Do you have an idea how to create the average volume log?

Which manual?

 

Shouldn't it create a log file in a specific folder in my computer?

 

If so, which folder?

 

If not so, please tell me or refer me to an instructions

 

Thanks

I try to add a line to the code but it still did not create a file. Please check the last s lines in the code. Thanks

 

// Pivot Test

// version: beta 0.1

// author: TAMS

// Date: 20090720

// License: public use

// Description: This program screens the R3 and S3 pivot levels

// and makes a print out of the date and price to the log

//

 

 

input:

start.date(19620102);

 

var:

s1(0),

s2(0),

s3(0),

r1(0),

r2(0),

r3(0),

pp(0);

 

 

PP = (HIGH[1] + LOW[1] + CLOSE[1]) / 3;

R1 = (2 * PP) - LOW[1];

R2 = PP + RANGE[1];

R3 = R1 + RANGE[1];

S1 = (2 * PP) - HIGH[1];

S2 = PP - RANGE[1];

S3 = S1 - RANGE;

 

 

if date > start.date - 19000000 then

begin

 

if h > r3 then

print(numtostr(date+19000000,0) + " >R3=" + NumToStr(r3,2));

 

if l < s3 then

print(numtostr(date+19000000,0) + " <S3=" + NumToStr(s3,2));

 

Print(File("C: temp\test.txt"),CurrentDate,CurrentTime );

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC. But in the quiet build-up— before the surface breaks.   Enter the Blue Button Please read more here: https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/netflix-amazon-bitcoin-blue  Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ 
    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
