I'm still around folks! Just been busy had some killer shifts to pull at work. Been making a trade here and there. Nothing major - like I'd like it to be. We can't let this thread die! I'll start posting my nightly analysis here as well come ...

That's my issue, lol. My butt is warming the bench something fierce. But the way I look at it, two scenarios: 1) This is a genuine reversal warming up. FXCM's Speculative Sentiment Indicator (a contrarian indicator that is pretty dang reliable) just ...

Yeah, there was a lot of plummeting there, hehe. I got work today but I'm thinking a pull back up to 1.4730. 1.4750 at the highest. With a big plop like that obviously we'll see double distribution. Unless some miracle happens that bids prices back ...

Wow, my profile Z period just keeps going and going, lol. I've been sidelining this whole week keeping tabs on the bracket we were experiencing the last few days and once we busted through Tuesday's buying tail it was over from there. We'll probably ...

Osama Bin Laden found dead. I wonder if the markets will react to this. An otherwise normally calm Asia session goes nuts once the reports hit, lol.

Remember please; I'm also taking chunks of old code and working it into Bandung's masterpiece so pointing this stuff out is good. Let's work out bugs and my mistakes, haha!

Good call bud, like I said; I'm no coder so it helps to have you experienced guys around. Quad close simply takes the high and low values for the day (week, month, quarter, year) and assigns them a % range. Low = 0% High = 100% The closing price for ...

Man, I missed out on a lot since I've been gone. Sorry everyone, day job killed my free time these last few days. I ended up taking a small loss on my EUR/USD position because I chickened out but not sweating a 0.8% loss. We'll get 'em next time. I ...

I was going for that as well but moved the order up a knotch because the bad boy kept climbing! We'll find out. If this thing keeps pushing neither of us will get filled, lol!

I was thinkin the same thing! I put in a limit order just a little bit above a 5m resistance that was just broken. The way this thing is goin, may not get triggered, lol!

I feel ya. Yeah I used the last mplib100 that he posted so I've just been rollin' with it. Unless he fixes it again, lol.

That's the one I'm using too (and put into the zip file I uploaded). That one is the most current. I think ay-mptext uses different resources for that calculation so it may be off.

Auction Market Theory and Market Profile

Yeah I just did the same thing. Ay-MPtext shows VA a OL higher rather than a bit inside the previous days VA.. That's something we'd have to ask Bandung. I'm starting to miss him, lol

Auction Market Theory and Market Profile

I didn't change anything in the calculations. I just added some text. I think a while back Bandung had mentioned the previous versions' value areas were calculated wrong.

Auction Market Theory and Market Profile

I believe that occurs because the 70% of TPO's is a different value from 70% of volume. Personally, I can understand TPO's, it's simple: If price occurs here, draw a letter. In terms of the volume profile... I don't get how he calculated that ...

Sorry, been at work today. I've been trying to get in touch with Bandung on where he stores those variables and also just trying to figure it out myself. As soon as I do or he gets back in touch with me, I'll hook it up! :nerd:

I'm tryin! I've never tried using a lower TF chart. I was thinking about it, whether you set the periodicity to 1 min or 4 hours the RF will still be the RF for profile period you're looking at. You just got me thinking whether or not a lower ...

Auction Market Theory and Market Profile

You can keep the chart TF on 30 mins. The code uses the start bar and end bar for the profiles. Essentially: If you're looking at daily profiles, it starts calculating the RF from the start of the day until the end of the day, the RF will be ...

After B period, if the seller follows through, could be initiative selling though last night, the same formation happened; prices rotated within a small range and gained acceptance before the buyer came in and slayed the beast. Shorts can be ...
