Re: Intraday Miniflow Trades for Today: Saint's Method

just trivia qs...in my amibroker, 60 min tf i cant see 9.55 to 10 am as first 60 min bar instead it shows first hourly at 10.30,11.30 so on..is it ok to trade this way or there is easy fix to this problem ? and whether my trade would be wrong as time convergence would be different for me ?

Re: Intraday Miniflow Trades for Today: Saint's Method

Alex try this go to file>DB setting>Intraday setting>trading hours>start time.If you change it to 9.00 you will get 1st bar of 5minutes when you choose 15/30/60 min TF.If you want 1st bar to be 60 min or 56 min. choose start time 9.55.56min. TF will give you all bars of same size except last one.i.e.55 min.If you are not having 1st bar of 5 min. you will not be in position to follow saint's miniflow.

P.S.i guess your present start time is 9.30.So AB counts 9.30 to 10.30 as 1st bar on 60 min TF.AB allows you to open 2 times(Unlike MS) on your PC.So in one AB you can set choose starting time of 9.00 to be with Saint's miniflow at the same time in 2nd AB you can chose start time of 9.55 (mkt.open).or 9.30(your present time).

Alex,

I was also looking to go long the same point (due morning discussions of previous days) but with a "large filter" as I was not fully confident of going long when looking at smaller TFs(and other indicators). Due to larger filter my trade not triggered.

[I even placed the long limit order that time in my broker terminal.
But unfortunately my brokers terminal went wrong and executed my limit order as market order.]

Go to Tools, Preferences. Click on Intraday and deselect the option "Align Minute bars to regular market hours"

This should solve the problem,

The 12.30pm was the breakout bar, so for a failed breakout the low of this bar - filter has to be taken out. The 1pm bar is just a continuation bar to the breakout bar.
