2-Day VWAP gave direction for today's open drive on $QQQ $NQ $MNQ. After the first couple of 5 minute candles, price confirmed below 1-day and 2-day VWAP and the next 30 minutes or so were followed by clear selling. Are there any studies I can help with to improve your trading?
For all you #TOS mobile traders out there. Hot off the presses is a study that plots the previous days close for #thinkorswim on mobile. Keep your eyes peeled for a walk-through video. Check it out at the link provided. https://t.co/YDQcSo30Qn
Had a friend reach out, wanting a new tool. When we looked at what was available decided that a new tool wasn't really needed. Sometimes we just need to use what we already have - especially if it works.
I see a lot of people using average true range as a value, but not understanding how to apply it. When you add direction to that value, ATR can provide excellent targets.
@Vera_Icona_23@Meiyubense@RichardMoglen Relative strength is a key tenet in selecting stocks, and these custom studies aid in the process of identifying those stocks with Relative Strength. If the ONLY criteria were "who is stronger". $AAPL is the stronger in the short term, $MSFT is stronger in the long term.
(2) This chart shows 1 year of data. The middle chart - $MSFT is stronger overall (50% versus AAPLs 32%), but $AAPL is showing greater recent strength.
The bottom chart shows bar-by-bar strength. When above zero $MSFT is stronger, when below zero $AAPL is stronger.
Frame of reference is critically important when discussing relative strength. This chart shows the past 5 days and $AAPL is stronger. Middle chart shows $AAPL having grown 1% compared to $MSFT losing almost 4%.
Bottom study shows strength on a bar-by-bar basis. #ThinkorSwim
