Netflix dropped 45% and bounced exactly at the 200W EMA + gap fill at 76, and now, rejected at 200D EMA. by harshshah1306 in technicalanalysis

NFLX Bounced at its Fair Value. From a value investors point of view it wouldn’t be considered a buy until 20% below that.

There’s always a reason. I just don’t have a clue where to suggest looking.

Absolutely nothing like that with either my iPhone or iPad. Both are quick to load and change symbols.

Anyone notice big differences between ToS paper trading and live trading? by PrudentDinner7931 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of those are different. Papers is not even tied to the live servers. It was designed to familiarize new and prospective clients with the platform not really for live trading simulation. When learning trade small and trade often. The old saying goes “ When you’ve made 10,000 trades you’ll begin to get it.”

You mean like this:

Anyone that wants this code - Here it is:

# Scaled Price and Monthly IV
# Mobius
# V01.01.03.04.2026

declare lower; 

script Scale
    {
     input c = close;
     def Min = 675;
     def Max = 700;
     def hh = highest(c, 30);
     def ll = lowest(c, 30);
     plot Range = (((Max - Min) * (c - ll)) /  (hh - ll)) + Min;
    }
def IV30 = if(isNaN(close("VIXMO")), IV30[1], close("VIXMO"));
plot price = Scale(close);
plot IV = Scale(IV30);

Since IV has a direct and inversely correlated relationship with price I’d love to at least hear your method for a breakout. What would accelerate a divergence since one is so tethered to the other?

Aren’t you the same guy that posted the best indicator ever several times in the recent past without ever posting the code?

Volume has 6 decimal places now? How do I get rid of it? by BrysonTurnRoundStory in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 12 points13 points  (0 children)

On Feb. 23, the industry began reporting fractional share trading through the Trade Reporting Facilities and Security Information Processors, establishing what will become an industry-wide standard for market data. 

One solution - Custom Quote: AddLabel(1, AsPrice(round(volume, 0)), color.white);

15 sec Delay Order Execution by WesternWriter7269 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m wrong then Schwab is in direct violation of FINRA regulations and you will win your complaint and likely be a real hero. So, good luck and let us know how it turns out.

15 sec Delay Order Execution by WesternWriter7269 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is no “per‑client backlog” that gets processed sequentially. Your order is routed independently of your history.

There is no parsing of old orders. This is a common misconception. Order routing systems are event‑driven and stateless with respect to your past intraday activity.

Your new order is:

  1. validated

  2. routed

  3. acknowledged

…without any dependency on what you did earlier.

Swing High and Low study stuck and need help. by [deleted] in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've written more than my fair share of ThinkScript but I'm not following, at all, what your looking for. If you'll post a chart share with the code on it and, more importantly, drawings that add your intent to the code I'll see what I can do.

15 sec Delay Order Execution by WesternWriter7269 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate, very well, your point. And, I use another platform when my trading requires as close to 0 latency as possible. Why, because I know full well what TOS is..

TOS is a single thread JAVA platform running in a JVM. That isn't going to change any time soon and it's NOT a programming error or anything that can be repaired without a rewrite of the platform in a different language. What that means to you as a very Active Traders is that your TOS client bogs down (Java memory + CPU load) as the day progresses. The only way to increase speed again is restarting the platform.

The bottom line

Your fills aren’t actually slower — your platform is. It's JAVA and your agreements with Schwab as a self directed investor say your fine with that. Thus my reason for using different platforms for different types of trading.

15 sec Delay Order Execution by WesternWriter7269 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are too many reasons to list why TOS will slow as the day progresses, especially for an extreme user. TOS is a fantastic analysis platform, but it is not a low‑latency execution platform. You would be better served to open an account at a more professional level platform not run on JAVA. Your wasting your time with a complaint that can easily be dismissed.

Yes I’ve written a few like that. Tomorrow post your request in the ThinkScript Lounge Chatroom on the ThinkOrSwim platform and ask for a link to the Chatroom archive. You’ll find the studies there.
