Hi Fabio,
my reply is in blue

Bandung
really great stuff ;-)
Just some clarifications:
-I'm located in Belgium, GMT+1 .
-I want to use only a day profile
I must set some special parameter or I can let the default value?

I see that the default value for opening hours are set as following:
AsiaOpen :0
EuropeOpen=8
USOpen=13

the indicator is using your broker time to do its calculation
the default sessions hour is based on IBFX, so you need to change this to match your broker time if you want a proffer session segmentation.

if you only need a daily profile with day start hour at 0, then you can leave AsiaOpen Parameter to 0.
you can turning off sessions coloring by turning on MonoColorLetters option, delete the circles no #6 so the next time it appear, it has a blue color.




According to me are fine , but I see that letters A are also painted on different time than the first 1/2 hour. See screenshot in attachment.Can you please clarify that?

the profile is not alignment with chart times. read this post by BilStein .. thanks Bil



- I'm a convinced believer of VSA . I see that also you use it with some volume indicator. Are those reflected in the MP indicator? How I can use them?

see my previous post about Split Profile


hope it help

:app.lause::roc.kon:AMAZING STUFF B!

Now i can see were i am relative to the super longterm range...look at the yearly profile & the Merge of the last 4 years of Balance...

Looks like we have bounce off the VAL :.)


Something i wanted to ask but forgotten to. Is it possible to be able to set the session time for (especially for NY) to like XX.XX (e.g. 15:30). I believe the variable type have to chng i suppose?

tks again...
that's what prevents me (variable type) every time I want to use XX.XX format . I use it on many places on indicator code. maybe next time kave..

Not a problem B, I think everyone would have agree that the feature to merge profile now set it apart & worth more then the sum of it's part, so to speak.
tks again B

considering the gap, it's second long liquidation we have after last london session. which got responsive right away, so no initiative seller. up we go?

Do bear in mind that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year so some of the major markets like Singapore & Hongkong are having their holidays. Lets wait for to see how the overal Asia session close & what UK have response. off Asia reference (Friday NY fair value is the prominent), then we decide.

Same entry there for me too But on market entry on 2926 just to make sure i got the spring bar on pull back of the 30mins. I am out, are u taking it longer ?

Looks like quick rejection off those LVN for friday's sell & todays support after the gap down... Price is now onto the 3037 as seen in these pass 3 month worth of merge.

nice move, i got in after second period of frankfurt. it failed to auction lower through tokyo's low and got this bottom reversal at the lower of the channel formed in asia. so i had a buy limit at 1.29 with 13 pips stop loss(tokyo's low) and first target friday's VAH approximative but i exit part of my position at friday's POc 1.2930 and went to sleep moving the stop at channel high and got filled in the move you guys entered.
did i got rushed again? hmmm

Fri's NY fail RE & balance was caution if one was still bullish then. Todays TK session fail to auction lower just below Previous UK low was a good sign of continuation. Even so I try to avoid any misread on my part if the liquidity may not be representative especially it it is a Asia holidays in most part except Japan.

So after the flat bottom during asia, I wanted to see how the gap holds but was taken out & guage the confidence then. TK session was balance, UK open above value & we see a test rejection off TK VAL. Which is a good sign. So a pullback entry strategy onto DVAL after UK opening would be a wiser move for me in this case., similar to Bandung's but he only mentioned the break above TK not sure if he consider the gap too ....

Anyway hope it helps..

living in states for now, my trending time in europe session is very limited so that why i took all the pro facts for a long and liked the idea i bought near by the low of the london's IB but unfortunatly i didn't have the gut to use this as a stop for a small part of my position after so strong move, but i need to work on that.
you're wright the probability increases after the gap is filled but in the same time we have new fact like a weaker open in london which will lower the confidence in the same time adding a neutral day probably structure, no?
by the way which DVAL? friday's DVAL on my chart is at 1.2880 and todays even now is at 1.2872.

I have my mind set on the 3050 which for this inventory adjustment back into UK's long inventory. Any early failer to auction higher could signal a correction. Potentially back into previous NY high Or the UK's session spike base. Anomalies could be revisited in most cases in this uneven UK profile.

Trade taken when price fail OTF during E period off D period low. initial risk is 16p.

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/3...5jan240125.gif

12 weeks of merge indicate the current weakness off HVN just below 3050. With potential support back onto LVN of 2970....

Not sure what u mean about weaker london & it adds to its probabilty of developing into a Neutral structure. The strong vertical A period of UK initiatives by itself in fact reduce the probabilty of it turning into anything but Neutral.

Interesting that i notice an unusually high volume spike into a previous aread dip this morning which Stops the aunctioning. That in itself was was indicative of absorbtion of sellers but even so for today i prefer not to trade on the opening price.

Dval is refering the session dval. After a strong opening, one strategy is to watch for price dip to around dval for a better trade location if one misses on the early intiatives entry..

the inside day theory it would apply in present case? today it's more like a neutral type then non trend day, i think JD was referring more at second case, no?
after it find a fair price for buyers, the day closed on the high, above open on higher vol resembling a shake out. it kept the value higher on the second distribution area from 2 days ago, but it failed to auction higher forming a tail and NY session didn't find the initiative to take the london's high.
tomorrow we have a strong fundamental day and with this indecision from technical side, it will be tricky to trade. i'm inclined to buy if i got confirmation at a strong reference point.
today i was looking to buy at open rejection and reverse NY open near by london's low, but the strong sell before pit session it make me not to take the trade and continued to auction up on lower volume, hmmm...

Nice read s7c

Inside session of US which is essentially a continuation of UK profile & eventually gone neutral seems to suggest more upside potential(one more leg up), despite the selling tail in UK, the dip back into UK unfair level just prior to NY comes with a higher volume spike seen in 30mins 6E charts.

UK price dip back into the spike zone (a form of gap) which act as the interim support then. Provided the impetus the yesterdays Netralisation of both UK/US. So on the current extremes the only visible reference for a proper trade location would be UK/US's VAL or previous TK low point; just above the spike zone.

http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6...9jan251153.gif

6E chart indicate higher volume spike on the V shape dip. With potential support off VWAP & Previous TK low.

MP from last two days seems like a P, don't you think?
The single from Monday is now overlapping with yesterday low.
Having an inside day after the up move, it could be interesting when break below that.

Can be re-accumulation in higher level, though.
But I have this naked VPOC marked at 2775 for now.

how much do you use the JD opening type and location analogy in order to gauge the level of confidence? today we have a poor level of confidence and we moved 100 pips in one direction, it's a strong news day though, but anyway...not trade for me today yet.

My 2nd trade today, I was looking for a response off the HVN (2932) as shown in the merge profile with my secondary reference being the bounce off yesterday low (EU low). Entry was made on the dip back below yesterday's low during B period. There after NY opening reject of UK control helps in this confidence too.

Initial risk was 19p. Expsoure reduce at 76p. Now back to HVN (3027) again or catapult point, i wonder if now is time for EU nudgin to look above it...

Addendum: miss out on the following chart showing the overarching spike zone (gap if u will) which i mention earlier post, indicative of new business entry. Spike base is in confluence with the lower HVN as shown in the above composite.

good to see the regulars still posting and some new members as well! Took a break from the forums and trading over the last little while for many factors that made it such that I couldn't focus on trading properly and took some bad trades that hurt...but back to fight again.

Here's a trade i took on the ES today. I actually started the day with a bearish bias, expecting a dip below the weekly IBL where I was looking to buy. This was because NY opened below yesterday's late date spike up.

right off NY open, prices dropped but the buyers came back sooner than I thought they would, so closed out my short for a measly 0.50 point and went long as per the chart. Target is 1330-1340 area assuming it can break the weekly IBH, as indicated by the merged quarterly profile (awesome indi bandung!) as that area is the VAH and POC as well as weekly DIBH. Since taking the screen shot ES has blown through my 3 resistance levels overhead.
