CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR), which will provide a final settlement price in US dollars at 4 PM London Time on each trading day and the CME Bitcoin Real Time Index (RTI), which allows for real time access to Bitcoin prices.

NYSE Bitcoin index NYXBT

On the other hand, the New York Stock Exchange has already wet its feet in the Bitcoin pool by launching the NYSE Bitcoin Index (NYXBT). NYXBT is the first ever exchange-calculated and disseminated Bitcoin index according to ICE.

BTCUSD daily ..fwiw

ETFs and derivatives are likely to make bitcoin trading a lot more palatable for hedge funds and mutual funds, as the instruments will allow them to hedge for the digital asset’s volatility and avoid some of the hassles of investing in bitcoin directly. https://www.bloomberg.com//news/article ... onal-money

Not exactly brilliant insight, seems obvious where we would go if they would just hit the buy button in the Marriner Eccles building

Getting the back test of line. Now lets see if the buying comes in...

last day of October should be interesting for sure,

Same point as fehro’s
Different view
ROC-1 on the monthly is the percentage change on the month (assuming no big changes before the close)
Green boxes = best performers
Red boxes = worst performers

Anybody have any idea why Cummins, CMI, gapped down this morning? Somewhat annoying. LOL

Thank you

Great earnings report. Maybe lukewarm fwd guidance. Maybe just "sell the news"-- since it hasn't touched its daily 20day MA for weeks.

Thanks, Daniel. I expect some profit taking as well. It has been on a nice trend.

Some have software that watches the average trade size so you know if it us little bait stealers or if the big fish are biting!
It seems the trend people really like Renko brick charts because there's less noise.
I tried and stopped Renko because I am using too many calculations, the Renko bars don't let the volatility based averages approach price as quickly.
I tried and stopped time charts because when things really slow down during the day you get small little bars, so I went with ticks because the same number of transactions keep happening so a slow market just takes more time for the bars. In my mind it isn't as fair an auction if you only have a couple of bidders.
When I was using Stock Charts I tried the volume weighted time bars and they sure make it clear when the action is.

At futures.io they arer always coming up with exotic bar types like line break and Kase, so I guess there is no one size fits all!

HAPPY HOUR

Four hours later a third attempt at a breakout. They better do it for sure or it will look a lot like a double top. Was not expecting a late afternoon sell off again, if that is what is setting up.
