Activity Bars TradeStation 2000i gives you the most in-depth view of
the markets ever offered in a trading software. It's all due to a
revolutionary new breakthrough called ActivityBars, a new breed of
bar that's only available in TradeStation 2000i. And as you'll see,
the difference between studying conventional bar charts and
ActivityBars is comparable to using a magnifying glass or a high
powered microscope.
You see, conventional
bars let you see only a small fraction of market activity--high,
low, open and close. But ActivityBars give you the power to zoom
in and see the market activity "inside the bar". Not just the
high, low, open and close, but all the activity in between,
too.
For instance, you'll be able to see where the greatest trading
volume occurs during the day. Was it near the high or
low? The answer to this question can give you a much better
picture of whether the closing trade was broadly supported or an
isolated fluke.
And you'll be able to glance at your screen and see where the bid
and ask prices are at each point on the bar--in real-time!
So you'll be able to create and test new strategies based on the
revealing patterns of activity you'll discover by analysing the
ratio of buyers vs. sellers.
And this is only a
sample of the analysis possibilities you'll have with ActivityBars.
You see, like all analysis techniques in TradeStation 2000i,
ActivityBars are fully customisable using the power of
EasyLanguage. And there's more. You see, you'll also be able to
use these new insights into the market to write and test a whole
new world of trading strategies. Just imagine all the trading
strategies you can now conceive simply by looking at a bar chart
on your screen!
TradeStation 2000i puts the incredible power of ActivityBars at
your fingertips to view the markets in a way that has never been
visible before. So you'll have the advantage to create, define and
explore trading strategies like never before!
TradeStation 2000i
includes these revealing built-in ActivityBar studies, plus the
ability to create your own with the power and flexibility of
EasyLanguage:
Buyers vs Sellers
This ActivityBar study shows you the dominant force in the
market-the proportion of buyers (bid) vs sellers (ask) within each
bar. In this chart of 5 minute ActivityBars, for example, whenever
the sellers dominated the market (as seen by the increase of red
cells on the left side of the bar), the market dropped on the next
bar.
Candlestick Vol Accumulation
This ActivityBar looks very much like a candlestick chart, with
the additional feature of showing the width of the body of the bar
increasing as volume increases. Each time the volume meets or
exceeds a specified amount, additional cells are added to the
right of the bar. A coloured line shows you if the close was above
the open (hollow), or below the open (filled).
Volume
Distribution
This ActivityBar shows the distribution of price volume throughout
the ActivityBar and the order of that activity throughout the bar.
Each time the volume is greater than a specified amount, a range
of cells is added to the right of the bar. In addition, each cell
can be customised to show a different letter or number to signify
different time intervals within the bar.
Price Distribution
This ActivityBar shows you where the price action occurred in each
bar to help you determine the strength of the prices of the final
bar. A highlighted zone shows you the number of standard
deviations above/below the row with the highest number of cells
(most price action) per bar.
Up vs Down Strength
This ActivityBar shows you the strength of the Up closes and the
Down closes per each specified range of ActivityData. When the
volume exceeds a level you set, and the close is less than the
previous close, cells are added to the left. When the close is
greater than the previous close, cells are added to the right.
Volume at Price
This ActivityBar is similar to the Volume Distribution ActivityBar,
except that it shows you the strength of the volume, instead of
the actual distribution. Additional cells are added when the level
of volume exceeds a specified amount. As the volume is exceeded
further, more cells are added. You also have the ability to break
up the bar into specified time intervals by customising the cell
colours.
Only TradeStation 2000i offers you the power of ActivityBars.
So while other traders are limited to conventional bar charts and
high, low, open, close data, you'll be able to view and analyse
every single tick. And that's simply one more way in which
TradeStation 2000i gives you more power to find winning trading
strategies.
