EagleOne, Google is realtime with no delays and is quite fast as many of the data providers. But the challenge is, we get only the spot values. That is the reason I subscribe to paid data feeds. Particularly this month there are many days the discount in futures is varying a lot, hence some setups might be triggered in spot, but not in futures and vice versa. Curious to know if you know any method to get Future values in google :)

If you have Amibroker 5.x that would work with most of the data providers. You can get 3 - 4 days demo from almost all data feed providers.
Thanks for the reply, gunsho bro. Much obliged. Will do the needful. Yes, I am aware of the fact the google feed is as good as others. But only for spot prices not the futures.
Sunny cool sent me Ami 5.30 cracked version. I will give it a go with data feed from next week on shorter TFs. Although he also sent me a free tick data feeder, but the problem remains same. It doesn't provide BN Futures data. And as we all know, the real malai in any index trading on shorter TF or sideways conditions is in taking advantage of premium differences that contracts and expands.

Thanks again, bro. :)


Sorry, forgot your query: No, I couldn't find anyway to get futures values out of google feed. Tried all known symbols and their variations etc. but no. If you ever find a way, let me be the first to know, please! :)

Thanks ST for the explanation. I think i first need to go through pivot theory by Saint or if you have explained in some other thread, which Iam trying to search on the thread and then my questions will be much relevant. Just assuming pivot is the high/ low created by scrip which remains in place for sometime and then gets taken out.

Hi ST sir,

I did read few posts from page 1,but I feel i still lack knowledge of Pivots, I did go through teach a man to fish, but there are no charts to relate to. Kindly let me know which threads to refer to as you have said in first few pages that the strategy in full will not be discussed as they are discussed in some other threads.

VWAP worked very well today in Bank nifty fut where the difference went from 80 points to as high as 130-135 points....Nifty Fut and VWAP diff was not much...so not a strong indication...today was a day of BNF shorts getting squeezed out of shape........
