The Two Tools I Use the Most with TradingView

The two tools I use the most with TradingView are “Fixed Range Volume Profile” and “Anchored VWAP.”

Back in the day, I bought Zach Hurwitz’s VWAP code for ThinkOrSwim (ToS) which included an “Anchored VWAP” of sorts, but because you can’t “click” to create indicators on a ToS chart, it wasn’t that convenient to use. It’s a much more elegant point-and-click solution at TradingView.

Similarly, nearly all charting platforms allow you to place Volume Profile on the chart with some fixed interval (hour, day, week, etc.), but it has never been easy to customize the time range you’re looking at … until now … now you can point-and-click to drag-and-drop the volume profile on any range you desire. Super slick. Check it out if you don’t already know about it.

Movies Watched -- Black Girl (1966)

55 minute running time … the story of a young Senegalese nanny who goes with her French employers to the Riviera, where they ask her to do the job of a common maid instead. This deeply disturbs her, crushes her expectations (those high heels), and has tragic consequences… I didn’t really understand it … I guess it was some kind of commentary on French colonialism in Africa and racism, but it wasn’t super well done. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re interested in these topics.

Es-tu malade?

Movies Watched -- The Nest (2020)

107 minute running time … this is a W.D. By movie by the same guy who made Martha Marcy May Marlene (which I loved), but this movie is no good … it’s slow and mostly pointless … Jude Law is supposedly a commodities trader, but he’s never doing any trading, they should have made him an investment banker instead, that would have made more sense.

Dick Brody didn’t like it either, and Oliver Jones wrote the best negative review: “After a long, slow build-up, The Nest winds up being as vacant as the Surrey country house of the title, and leaves the viewers feeling every bit as empty.“ You can give it a miss.

It’s fine, we’ll take it.

Movies Watched -- 20 Feet from Stardom

Documentary. 89 minute running time. I’ve always been interested in backup singers, and it is fascinating what separates the big stars from their backup vocalists, it’s a very thin line. It was neat to see in Dua Lipa’s recent Tiny Desk concert how much better the songs were since she had talented backup singers behind her.

Beautiful, amazing singer, totally unknown

Those Were the Days When Things Were Okay-ay

Tasha Angela … young and beautiful, great voice, groovy tune. Thanks to the Spotify algo….

Stops in Obvious Spots

The action in JUPW yesterday reminded me of LIZI … my buddy TTM calls these Type 1 or Type 4 (I forget which) plays … others call it a “high of day clearout,” or “HOD clearout.” It is important to pick off dummies who put their stops in obvious spots. Don’t be a dummy.

I Gave You All I Know

Hamzaa singing “Home” … a religious experience?

صباح النور

Gaidaa singing Morning Blue, great voice….

Remember Why We Fell in Love

The Spotify algo does it again, alerting me to Rozzi singing Joshua Tree… she has 77K YT subs so not a complete unknown. Great voice and control, wow.

Movies Watched -- The Nice Guys (2016)

116 minute running time so at least 20 minutes too long … Crowe and Gosling have no chemistry, this was so bad I quit after giving it a full hour … 90%+ Fresh at RottenTomatoes is totally misleading. This is a terrible, full red, avoid-at-all-costs movie. I should have first consulted Rex, who hits the nail on the head, as usual: “… another sub-mental movie for morons churned out by the kind of sophomoric Hollywood machine that trademarks the works of Judd Apatow & Co.”
