How many time do we open outside of value?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

As usual I can't get away from my computer and stop looking at charts for longer than like 2 hours, and was starting to notice a few things. First thing I've been noticing is that the YM doesn't open outside of value very often. Am I correct in this? I've got my own data from only about 45 days back.

 

Secondly, I've been trying to see when we DO open outside of value, how often is it that if price pokes it's head into value that we end up cuising through value to the other extreme from which we entered?

 

There's been 2 scenarios that I've been noticing when YM opens outside of value.

 

1st: We never look back and trend the heck off the planet for the day and don't see previous days value again.

 

2nd: We poke into value and often end up making a move to the other end of value at some point during the day.

 

I have found few days in my little 45 days worth where we open outside of value, poke back in and finish inside of value never seeing the other end first. Sometimes it'll cruise through value, say from VAH thru to VAL and then finish up somewhere in between...

 

Maybe this is a good place for Ant to step in? :)

 

Just trying to develope some sort of trading plan for outside value days. Soul is usually great at telling if we're gonna trend in the first like 20 nanoseconds of markets' open.

 

Thanks all! Look forward to hearing some input.

Sounds like a great idea. If someone could provide me with VAL VAH values for the last couple of years I can load this into my SQL Server database and write a query and provide you with the results. We should study YM, ER and ES.

 

Let me know, I have the historical intraday data already, I just need the VAL VAH values.

I haven't tracked it with the YM as of late, but have been tracking ER's value movements from the first trading day of this year up 'till now. It's tedious for me to go back too far as I have to input all the MP values manually, but....2007 has provided every single kind of trading environment one could ask for. The first week of '07 was amazing for trendiness intraday, late January gave us rangey-trendy, and so far in Feb we've had purely rangebound markets (until Friday afternoon...that was nice).

 

For the ER...it is cruising from top to bottom (or bottom to top) of value about 54% of the time, while only 3 days this year has it not entered value from the previous day.

 

Don't know if that helps out, but it's interesting to note none-the-less.

Chris,

 

Here is what I got... Statistics are pretty consistent across index futures.

 

ES:

Number of Days: 250, Times Market Opened Outside of Value: 141 ( 56.40%), Times Price Entered Value Area: 101, Trades to Other VA Extreme: 45 ( 44.55%)

 

YM (Assuming Open at 8:20am EST):

Number of Days: 250.00, Times Market Opened Outside of Value: 132.00 ( 52.80%), Times Price Entered Value Area: 104.00, Trades to Other VA Extreme: 46.00 ( 44.23%)

 

YM (Assuming Open at 9:30am EST):

Number of Days: 249.00, Times Market Opened Outside of Value: 141.00 ( 56.63%), Times Price Entered Value Area: 101.00, Trades to Other VA Extreme: 45.00 ( 44.55%)

 

ER2:

Number of Days: 250, Times Market Opened Outside of Value: 152 ( 60.80%), Times Price Entered Value Area: 103, Trades to Other VA Extreme: 50 ( 48.54%)

No 80% like people say, though.....

 

Chris, other factors need to be taken into account when trading this. Take a look at the Value Area Rule in Mind over Markets. I would also think that the probability of penetrating the VA also increases depending on the market condition (i.e., balancing).

I completely agree...it's just that there are some people out there that seem to think it's a given that 80% of the time when price enters value it will cruise through to the other side. This isn't part of my trading plan, just a neat statistic to share :)

Very good point Ant.

Ant, I am quite impressed with your stats... is it possible to get some other stats from this database you are working with like per example: how many times when opening inside value did we fade the first test of a vah or val per x points .... something like that.... would be cool to have some stats of this kind... if its possible.... cheers Walter.

    • Dear B4 #42, I heard you can't get out of bed and decided you were going celibate and shaved your head and “reconsidered” having children.  If it took Trump getting elected to get you to stop fkn every Dum, Harry, and Dick you meet, we’ll take it.  thx Sincerely just sayin’ zdo PS To all the other girls I loved B4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVq0ONrSH-Q 😚

    • Date: 12th November 2024. Market Buzz: Trump Trade Impact! “Trump trade” has boosted the US Dollar and US stocks, but Trump’s policies may have less favorable effects on global assets. Trump’s plan to raise tariffs is expected to negatively impact economies worldwide, especially exporters like China. Asia & European Sessions:   Bitcoin Surge! Bitcoin broke $90K, driven by Trump trade once again. Bitcoin is up roughly 110% in 2024, helped by robust demand for dedicated US ETFs, interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and Trump’s cryptofriendly agenda. Crypto market capitalization has exceeded its pandemic-era peak, reaching $3.1 trillion. Traders are betting on Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by year-end, according to data from the Deribit exchange. Open interest — or outstanding contracts — for CME Group Inc. futures for Bitcoin and second-ranked Ether (ETHUSD) scaled records on Monday, a sign of growing engagement by US institutional investors. Asian shares dropped, alongside European and US equity futures, as traders evaluated the implications of President-elect Donald Trump’s policy agenda and potential cabinet choices. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell for a third consecutive day, driven by rising Treasury yields amid concerns that Trump’s proposed tax cuts could increase inflation. There are also reports that Trump is considering two individuals for prominent roles in his administration with track records of criticizing China. DAX and FTSE100 are down -1.1% and -0.5% respectively, after a pickup in German HICP inflation and higher than expected UK wage growth dampened easing expectations. Investors await the US CPI report for insights into the Fed’s easing path, as Trump’s inflationary policies may lead to fewer rate cuts. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex continues to rise and is currently at 105.75. It hit a 1-year high. EURUSD drifts to 1.0620 and GBPUSD is in a sell off, currently at 1.2800. Oil prices fell after their biggest 2-week decline, amid a weak demand outlook from China, a stronger US Dollar, and concerns over a potential oversupply. Crude oil has traded within a narrow range since mid-last month, influenced by Middle East tensions, the US election, and OPEC+ output decisions. Gold remains under pressure and is currently at just $2604.36 per ounce. It hit a one-month low, down 5% since Trump’s election victory, as a strong dollar and US equity rotation pressured the metal. Gold’s decline was also technical, breaking below the 50-day moving average, causing funds to cover long positions. Despite recent drops, gold remains up 25% for the year, supported by central bank purchases and geopolitical risks. Always trade with strict risk management.
