daytradingES, a few weeks ago, when I was first introduced to the p-bars, I backtested the AH p-bars from Interactive Brokers on TWS. They work once in a while but are very unreliable. Their failure rate was atrocious. Just an FYI.
Having said that, I have seen p-bars in RH on TWS charts but they are corrected very quickly. If you use TWS and you happen to see a p-bar in RH, can you cross check with BB52x or Mr. Miyagi? It would be great to know whether this is a 'universal' phenomenon or not. Thanks. BTW, this goes for other boardies who use TWS during RH. I don't/can't.
Sure. no worries.
I was just having fun, BTW.
I'm new to the board and didn't realize you've backtested them.
I hope I didn't offend.
I use Ninja for my charts and IB for the datafeed - so as long as I don't refresh and Ninja doesn't drop the data packet they stay on the Ninja chart. IB data seems off by a tick or two (I think due to they internalizng trades -argh).
I would imagine that the datafeed to the brokerages is mostly the same?
(As I don't trade ETF I don't see them on IB - it was only coming to this board I saw them ...)
