Value Area for DIA

Recommended Posts

Hello, I just started trading DIA and was wondering if there is a website that publishes the MP levels? The YM on mypivots.com is obviously way off.

 

Also, where is a good place to get the volume info for the DIA? I use esignal.

 

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi there,

 

Out of curiousity, are you trading options on the DIA intraday? Or the actual shares? And why not trade the futures?

 

Anyhow...the levels for tomorrows trading are :

 

VAH - 126.65

POC - 126.53

VAL - 126.41

I am trading the actual ETF shares.

I trade at a prop firm and just started getting into the indices after the NYSE went hybrid. Starting out with the ETF and then once I have a proven strategy will go to futures.

 

Thanks for the levels, is there anyplace I can get them daily like mypivots.com?

esignal pro. I did some reading in this MP forum and came across some esignal studies but I didn't understand what the heck to do with them or what they were for.

 

Just a newbie coming up the ranks!

Oh :) sounds cool. I don't know anything about esignal, so hopefully someone will be able to lend a hand. Also...remember that a proven strategy on an ETF may or may not work the same on the futures. Strategies that work on the Russell futs don't work the same on the DOW futs....so something to take into consideration.

Thanks guy, I am pretty familiar with esignal but if I use the standard volume bars wont it give me more of a range of price per volume which is less accurate or is this the way people do it by hand? What time increment should I use for the volume bars to get the best representation for the MP?

1min, 2min, 100Tick?

TinGull, those levels you gave me for the DIA worked amazingly well.

As soon as it broke VAH it tanked and I made a quick 15points!

Thanks!

 

But I have a question. I have YM quotes and put the mypivots.com MP levels on that chart which was at different times on the chart patter,

For example on the DIA price bounced off VAH (levels TinGull gave me) before going down, whereas on the YM #F and levels from mypivots the prices ripped through this level then came back and retraced to it before heading down.

Now, to me this looks like an edge knowing the YM penetrated that level whereas DIA hadnt yet. Knowing the YM was heading lower I could simply short DIA once it goes below the VAH because YM already did. Is this common or is this an anomaly. This is my 1st day looking at this.

 

Also, how correct are the mypivots.com MP levels and are they for the YMH7 or YM #F. TinGull, are your YM levels the same as mypivots.com?

 

Thanks in advance! It was a great day trading with these MP levels.

I know it's a lot of questions but there is a lot I am thinking about after noticing this reaction.

Hey Jonathan,

Great to hear they worked for you. My levels always differ from mypivots.com. I'm not sure how he gets his levels, but I dont always find them to be as accurate.

 

Look at these levels today, and see what happens...

 

VAH - 127

POC - 126.92

VAL - 126.64

 

Best of luck to you

 

Chris

    • Date: 25th November 2024. New Secretary Cheers Markets; Trump Trade Eased. Asia & European Sessions:   Equities and Treasuries rise, as markets view Donald Trump’s choice of Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary as a stabilizing decision for the US economy and markets. Bessent: Head of macro hedge fund Key Square Group, supports Trump’s tax and tariff policies but gradually. He is expected to focus on economic and market stability rather than political gains. His nomination alleviates concerns over protectionist policies that could escalate inflation, trade tensions, and market volatility. Asian stocks rose, driven by gains in Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Chinese equities fail to follow regional trends, presenting investors’ continued disappointment by the lack of strong fiscal measures to boost the economy. The PBOC keeps policy loan rates unchanged after the September cut. US futures also see slight increases. 10-year Treasury yields fall by 5 basis points to 4.35%. Nvidia dropped 3.2%, affected by its high valuation and influence on broader market trends. Intuit fell 5.7% after a disappointing earnings forecast. Meta Platforms declined 0.7% following the Supreme Court’s decision to allow a class action lawsuit over the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Key events this week: Japan’s CPI, as the BOJ signals a possible policy change at December’s meeting. RBNZ expected to cut its key rate on Wednesday. CPI & GDP from Europe will be released.

Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar declines as US Treasuries climb. Bitcoin recovers from a weekend drop, hovering around 98,000, having more than doubled in value this year. Analysts suggest consolidation around the 100,000 level before any potential breakthrough. EURUSD recovers slightly to 1.0463 from 1.0320 lows. Oil prices drop after the largest weekly increase in nearly two months, with ongoing geopolitical risks in Ukraine and the Middle East. UKOIL fell below $75 a barrel, while USOILis at $70.35. Iran announced plans to boost its nuclear fuel-making capacity after being censured by the UN, increasing the potential for sanctions under Trump’s administration. Israel’s ambassador to the US indicated a potential cease-fire deal with Hezbollah, which could ease concerns about Middle Eastern oil production, a region supplying about a third of the world’s oil. Russia’s war in Ukraine escalated with longer-range missile use, raising concerns about potential disruptions to crude flows. Citigroup and JPMorgan predict that OPEC may delay a planned increase in production for the third time during their meeting this weekend. Gold falls to $2667.45 after its largest rise in 20 months last week.Swaps traders see a less-than-even chance the central bank will cut rates next month.
