what is hysteresis in lay man terms in under 100 words? :)
So if you defined activity as number of contracts traded (volume) versus number of orders executed (ticks) then activity=volume otherwise...
TriPack explains range bars and goes into the subject in accurate and interesting detail in his article referenced from somewhere in this thread...
Wouldn't you say that activity=volume?
You have a good point there and I think that's demonstrated in my article Anatomy of a Spike where the lack of bids in this case was overwhelmed...
I've just discovered that this thread overlaps one that I started recently so I thought I would cross reference it here:...
Here is TriPack's (very good) thread on the same subject: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21739&perpage=6&pagenumber=1
Nobody's convinced me yet that tick charts are better than volume charts although I think that an important point has been raised: If you're...
So if I understand correctly the new bar will be created using (in this particular example) 250 contracts or 180 ticks - whichever comes first?...
I would never buy anything from him. I really just want to hear of 1 person - 1 solitary person - that is still subscribing to him after 3 to 6...

That's exactly how I do it Beng. If I want to compare one chart to another I'll take the total volume over that time period and divide it by the...
This is actually an exercise to attempt to discover if the tick chart has an advantage over the volume chart and if so under what circumstances....
Great link - many thanks. For others reading this thread here is a summary of momentum/range bars from that link: Momentum Bar charts have the...
I've never heard of that method for constructing candles. Thanks for enlightening me there. Can you actually create candle charts with this? I...
True but it's unlikely that you would use values for a volume bar that didn't indicate this. So in a heavily traded liquid market such as the ES...
I agree that neither chart shows that. My concern is that more tick bars will be generated when the small players are hitting the bids and offers...
Perhaps I've misunderstood what a tick chart is - or rather what a tick is. It is/was my understanding that a tick is a single trade (at market I...
