Package:
WideBar Suite for TradeStation
The
market makes an obvious move, quickly. The
recent, rough equality between supply and demand is
clearly upset, visual and immediate on the chart for
you to see.
Almost nothing is as obvious in the short term as a
wide bar, sticking out from all the rest like a sore
thumb.
But what does it really
mean? What sorts of opportunities are
heralded, and how can they be quantified?
Does the wide bar represent
new momentum, after which continuation is probable?
Or does it represent the running of stops and the
folding of weak hands, after which a reversal is
probable? Maybe both, depending.
Until you've measured and studied, how could you
know?
CFT's
WideBar Suite for TradeStation will
give you what you need in order to backtest, scan,
and act-by-rule upon these key points of
"impulse" and "flush" which
engender so much emotion in traders who don't have a
systematic way to deal with them.
What It Is
This
package provides a trading strategy, a coordinated
chart indicator (PaintBar), and a separate RadarScreen
indicator that together provide the code you need to
build your own testing and trading campaign based on
WideBar market action..
What It Looks Like
Here's a picture showing
wide bars and one approach to
trading them on a 15m chart of the EMD:

Here is a view of a workspace with the RadarScreen
indicator reporting
wide bar status on a list of futures contracts:

Using the WideBar
Suite with RadarScreen in this way lets you visually
monitor any list of symbols for their wide bar
status. If you set up lists of symbols for
which you have previously
run strategy tests, the RadarScreen indicator makes
it easy to pick out symbols that are currently
offering a wide bar opportunity of interest for
trading (as determined by your tested historical performance).
