Making My Own Tape Tweet

Recommended Posts

I'd like to make my own tape tweet. I really like tapetweet.com but I have several reasons for making my own:

 

- they don't have it for the markets I trade

- I want something visual too

- I'd like to see it historically if possible

 

I'm curious how they're doing it. I've been trying to figure it out but not having much luck. If anyone has any ideas please share.

cunparis,

What platform are you on?

Are you asking how they play the 'tweets'? or

Are you asking what their logic is for popping, etc.?

I'm asking about the popping/cricket sounds. Curious what they're based on.

... the popping/cricket sounds. Curious what they're based on.

 

Again - are you asking how to make the sounds or the logic they are using to trigger them?

 

If you're asking how to make the sounds - dll's and wavefile templates are available in TS forum

 

If you're asking about the logic -

My impressions of it (and it's been a while since I was on ) is it's simply a directional and lagging* 'pace of tape'

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/pace-tape-measure-trade-intensity-detect-7917.html

(*the lagging could be from iLatency or from a higher threshold filter... never found out)

 

Best way to see it 'historically' would be to ADE it...

 

... I have some (slightly more complex) ideas re one of these. However, to implement one, I would almost certainly have to get programmer involved - so can't participate in an 'open' project. If you (and / or a couple others who are into EL development) want to make a project of this, PM me...

sorry it wasn't clear, i'm talking about the logic to determine when to send the alert. The sound I can do.

 

I am comparing it to my pace of tape indicator and it seems to be different so I'm curious. I don't need to make mine exactly the same I'm just looking for ideas that I can try.

 

I'm a programmer so if you have good ideas I don't mind programming them. I don't mind keeping it private.

Interesting. First time I've come across this tape tweet site. It seems familiar to Ensign Windows setting 'Beeb on Each Tick' - which, after comparing the two seems to be faster than the web site - but that could just be the internet I guess?....

TapeTweet doesn't beep on each tick. It starts beeping where there is movement. There is a criteria for it, I'm not sure what it is. I like it cause if I'm reading or surfing the web and I hear it then I know to glance over at my charts. ;)

cunparis, i only watched it the last minutes on ES,

but couldnt it be easy something like this on a 1 minute chart

 

input : ESsize (20);

if high >= highest (high,3) and tradesize at ask>=ESsize then beep/alert

if low<= lowest(low,3) and tradesize at bid>=ESsize then beep/alert

?

 

i am sure that htey dont use a complicated tick/volume chart.

I thought it beeps when price is higher than previous bar's high...

 

try it with a small size CVB chart (say, 2000 crt)... you will see/hear it.

Tams, that was not my impression of it - however they may have changed it since I was last on.

Will check it out...

 

cunparis, et al

Let's put together and publish a generic template for one of these in EL first. Then from that foundation, we all can develop and or collaborate.

 

Find attached picture of what may (or may not) be a facsimile of ...tweet.ocm logic

It is based on very simple O C algo that can be used anywhere (even fx)

I'm quite sure this is more crude than what they are doing but it is more likely to start sounds when they do than PaceOfTape (in haste and error I likened tweet to PaceOfTape yesterday - wrong)

This way may actually be way off and totally bogus ... it’s just a guess at the simplest generic solution (ie different from the ideas discussed yesterday) so at least we'd have a functional template going...

 

'noises' start outside the lines and intensify with bar height... it's not letting me post attachments right now ?? so will post picture later

 

Cunparis, are you using OctalSound20.dll. a PlaySound Replacement DLL

"...TradeStation’s PlaySound has a small performance issue. Each time a sound is played it reads the sound from your hard drive and plays the sound. So we wrote a DLL which would load a sound into memory from the hard drive once and play the sound from memory each time requested thus saving lots of hard drive reads over a day. "

    • re TikTok Recently metafakebook made what was apparently a move to stay aligned with ‘culture’ - no more fact ‘checking’, no more censorhip... basically ‘Zucker’ was shown that his mission was failing because they were only building profiles on ‘useful idiots’ instead of those who oppose the great centralization  (... just like long ago he only saw campus potential and had to be shown the promise and rewarded for fronting the great spyware and social engineering project called Fakebook)... ie they could have replaced him long ago In the same vein, who holds ‘title’ to tiktok doesn’t matter either... it will remain a spyware project regardless of who ‘buys’ it... and the data will forever be available to the CCP Just sayin’

    • Date: 20th January 2025.   The NASDAQ Rises As Trump Inauguration Edges Closer!   US indices increased in value for the first time after struggling for 5 consecutive weeks. Of the main US indices the NASDAQ witnessed the strongest gains (4.12%). Risk indicators point to a higher risk appetite under the new US President, Donald Trump. President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon and has promised to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. NASDAQ - Higher Investor Confidence! NASDAQ traders begin to stomach less frequent interest rate adjustments, the market turns its attention to earnings and Trump’s presidency. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market. A "risk-on" sentiment is evident in today's sessions, reflected in risk indicators like the VIX, High-Low Index, and Bond yields.     Investors this week will concentrate on two factors. The first factor is Trump’s consecutive orders which he has advised will be signed within his first week. Investors will closely monitor how and if these policies influence the US economy and stocks. The second factor is earnings season, which will start to gain momentum this week. Tomorrow, Netflix will release its quarterly earnings report after the market closes. Netflix is the NASDAQ’s 10th most influential company and 11th most impactful stock. Analysts expect the company’s earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. If Netflix is able to beat the earnings per share and revenue expectations, fundamental elections would indicate a rise in the price. Over the past 12 months the price has risen 76%. A further increase would further support the NASDAQ. Thereafter, investors will turn their attention to Intuitive Surgical’s earnings report. Currently, investors believe the company’s earnings per share and revenue will rise compared to the previous quarter. Intuitive’s stock has risen by more than 9% in the past week alone indicating that investors believe the company will continue to beat earnings expectations. The company has beat expectations over the past 12-months. How are Markets Reacting to Trump's inauguration? Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Analysts expect these two alone to support US stocks. However, investors are not yet certain to what extent upcoming tariffs will pressure the NASDAQ and stocks. During the previous trade wars, the NASDAQ fell by 25% over a period of 4-months. Traders also should note that the NASDAQ rose in the 6-weeks after Trump won the elections. Over the past week, the VIX index fell by more than 12% indicating that the market believes US stocks will perform well under a Trump presidency. Simultaneously, US Bond yields have fallen from 4.80% to 4.58% which is known to positively influence the US stock market. Both the VIX and lower bond yields indicate higher investor confidence as Trump advises that policies will prompt more employment, US made products and more pro-US policies. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the NASDAQ trades above the 200-bar Moving Average on a 5-minute Chart indicating bullish price movement. Moving Averages have also crossed over upwards and the price trades above the VWAP indicating that the asset is maintaining its bullish momentum. Price action is also forming clear higher highs and higher lows, but investors will be cautious if the price does not find resistance at the $21,637 resistance level. In order to break above this level, investors will be hoping for positive earnings data from Netflix and Intuitive.     Key Takeaways: President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon with promise to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. US indices rise after 5 weeks of declines, with the NASDAQ leading at 4.12%. Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency. Analysts expect Netflix earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that President Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market.

    • Consider: some 80% of small to medium-sized businesses around the world don’t have a website.   Many businesses in emerging economies rely on social media platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) as their primary digital presence instead of formal websites.   But even in more digitally advanced economies, the number can hover around half.   Why? Simple answer: although we’ve made it easier to make a website, it’s still not easy enough.   Let’s say a yoga instructor wants to offer online classes but lacks tech skills or a budget.   Instead of struggling with confusing platforms, she tells her AI agent, “Set up a website for me to host yoga classes.”   The AI handles everything.   It integrates Stripe for payments, Zoom for live classes, scheduling services for in-person classes, and a chat module for inquiries.   It even suggests templates.   When the instructor picks one and asks for a purple and white color scheme, the AI updates it instantly.   No coding. No frustration. Just results.   And the best part? She didn’t have to touch a single screen or key.   This is the future Wilson describes in Age of Invisible Machines.   And, as mentioned, it’s powered by three core technologies:   Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs): Say what you need; the system handles it. From building websites to booking flights, it’s fast and human-like.   Composable Architecture: Traditional business solutions become “modules”. Like LEGO bricks, modular tools—payments, chats, scheduling—snap together to create custom solutions without starting from scratch.   No-Code Programming: AI agents code for you, empowering anyone to create without needing a developer. It’s not just a better way to interact with technology…   It’s a complete reimagining of how industries operate.   As Harvard Business School’s Marco Iansiti says, “This isn’t disruption—it’s a fundamental shift in production and interaction.”   And, the thing is…   It’s not just possible. It’s already happening.   Early examples are already here. – Chris Campbell, AltucherConfidential Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ 
    • Question: My name is Omobola Sikiru from Lagos, Nigeria. I am mechanical engineering. Where can I find someone that can be my helper to relocate me to the USA?   Answer: According to your own profile, you are trying to enter other countries through deception and immigration fraud.   You are an engineer in Nigeria, but you are not licensed as an engineer in any other country.   There are no helpers, no sponsors, and nobody is going to give you money, get you an engineering job, or get you a visa.   You must qualify to immigrate. Nobody can help you with that.   Either you qualify and have settling in money, or you don’t.   You need to improve your English before trying to get a job in a Western, English speaking country. Engineers write reports. You wrote, ‘I am mechanical engineering’. Nobody will hire you if you write like this.
