I don't know.. I'm not saying that.. On moves like the one last week the banks are made short by their customers, and in general would like to see the price back to where it started... Tomorrow is Friday, and in general the PA goes the other way than during the week... I'm not saying it can't drop. I'm watching that 34-35 level as well, but I think it's being set up for a long.. I could be wrong but that's what I have atm.
"...banks are made short..."

So you think they might "help" it a little?

Ok. Now I've confused myself: if by banks being made short you mean they've been the broker/dealer counterparty to long positions opened on Thrus and Fri, they would be short and want to see the price go down so they can offset at a profit (assuming they are still short). Right?

That would mean they'd like the price to go down. No?

yeah, that's the idea... Get the price to where it started..What exactly they do behind the scenes, that I don't know.. I could be right, I could be wrong but more often than not, after some important event, the price comes back to the starting point..

do you use or recognise any of these words?

linear regression, matrix algebra, johansen / adf tests etc? arima, garch
sorry for delay had to go out :-)

made extensive use of arima models and various regression models. also spent a lot of time of market efficiency models that try to determine how efficient the current market is in moving between prices bands - which is the secret to knowing what kind of model algo to deply.

I'm not a fan of h4 because we have different server times, so not everybody sees the same thing.. I have a pin bar, and the current one is trying to engulf it with an hour and forty minutes left.. It looks undecided to me.. The low of the hammer could also be tested if it wants to..

as far as i know banks dont take positions (apart from their prop desks). They provide services for commissions. They trade with clients, then they hedge themselves in 2 ways mainly :
- dealing with brokers to offset positions (fx, vol, correl)
- dealing with clients/other counterparties on deals that offset some of their risks (inhouse interest information system to show interest from traders in terms of risk unloading. At least that's how it was @ ML)

EDIT : one exception may be GS

if u r developping of an algo i would be interested to know how you are calibrating the candlesticks.
I mean, in order for them to deliver an information about buying/selling, you need to know what they look like (doji, spinning top, etc...) and how they are built (open, low, high, close). So they must be some mathematical definitions that validate one description compared to the other.

for instance, this one is High X Low Y, with Close A and Open B, so because B/A, (B+A)= 0.5*(X+Y) then it is a doji, then its ....

How do u do those calibrations?

EDIT...


again sorry for delay.

candlestick patterns are generally for chartists not algos. Algos use prices over time and if using a timeseries will normally work on a close or median price.

systems that trade of chart patterns are not algos they are simply pattern recognition systems.

EDIT:

there are also two types of algos in play in the market, those that are designed to enter and exit trades for a profit and those that are designed to enter or exit large positions over a given price distribution, ideally without anybody knowing or rocking the price too much...
