pop-to-tha-top !!!

(Since there were posting issues (with my most recent post of 9/11) ... that resulted in a number of now deleted posts ... to find a "fix" !)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is the current version of the Range Contraction/Expansion Filter !

A few NEW things since the last version I posted...I've cleaned up some things...added some NEW patterns...refined my displayed Technical Indicators...and even created a NEW Trend Indicator based on MMAs !

This continues to be a work in progress...

...as I trade with it and see things that need to be tweaked / added / eliminated and that would be helpful in my trading...they shall be tweaked / added / eliminated !!!

Howz bout an UPDATE !!!

------------------------------------

Recently, I've been playing around with a filter that "TheRumpledOne" posted about a year ago !

The filter was an attempt by TRO to duplicate the criteria of a trade set-up called...

a "Dummy Spot" !

News Flash: NOTHING NEW HERE !!!

A so-called "Dummy Spot" is nothing more than an Inside day...that happens with the preceding days showing decreasing volumes...as the daily ranges consolidate (ie. tighten) !

Now...those familiar with my Range Contraction / Expansion Filter know that "Inside Days" have been an integral part of the filter since the very first rendition. That being the case...I am always interested in anything posted here at SF (or, anywhere else for that matter) wrt these kinds of "consolidation and expansion" patterns.

The THING that caught my eye with THIS TRO filter ("Dummy Spots") was NOT the "Inside Day" aspect of it...it was the clever way TRO calculated AND displayed the consecutive days that both the RANGE and the VOLUME had been decreasing.

I confess...the coding trick TRO uses is one I have used/borrowed/stolen before...just never as a way to monitor Range and Volume Contraction/Expansion. fwiw

It dawned on me that since I already had NR4s, NR7s, Sharks and IDs etc...in my (this) filter...I could in effect EASILY incorporate a "Dummy Spot" check ...and, in the process ADD to the overall feedback that the column displays provide (to the other patterns in the filter).

* The 2 NEW columns are ...vol^ ... AND...rng^ !

--> (Scroll DOWN to the section of code labeled "Dummy Spots" to see the NEW additions) <--

I view these 2 NEW columns as an indication of sort-term volatility (or, lack thereof). With that in mind, they have replaced my PREVIOUS attempt at monitoring short-term volatility. Previously, I compared a 6 period Historical Volatility measure to a 100 day Historical Volatility. NO MORE !

I will experiment with these 2 NEW columns for now...and see how they perform.

I feel they give me MORE "at-a-glance" feedback wrt to RANGE and VOLUME...and help me better spot areas of possible CONTRACTION and EXPANSION !

-----------

As always...this continues to be a work in progress...

...as I trade with it and see things that need to be tweaked / added / eliminated and that would be helpful in my trading...they shall be tweaked / added / eliminated !!! (as it were) :8^)

FMCN....pulled it off ALF44's contraction filter this morning....look at 5min chart. I entered at the open and just closed at 8.88, talk about being parabolic.

BTW- thanks for this sweet filter, I have used it quite frequently.

Even using this filter to find INTC this morning at open. From 14.0 to 14.60 you made a great profit. I use $30,000 as leverage money to get more pop from the move. Nice filter Alf.

RE: FMCN

As of yesterday's Close...

FMCN showed 4 consecutive days of Range Contraction...

...yesterday was also both an NR4 & NR7...AND... a "doji" !

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

All nice set-ups for some sort of Trend Day ie... Range Expansion (today) !

Congrats, johnpaul...nice trade !
