I'm new to Big Mike's, and look forward to posting some of my own indicators, and methods, within the next few days... this seems like a decent board for constructive feedback, and from what I can tell - there are also some decent traders posting, with realistic ideas and approaches.
I'm also new to Gom's package and am hoping someone here may be able to give me some advice. I've tried searching here, and also the NT forums, though so far no luck, and as yet I've only read the beginning of the 80-something page GomPackage thread... Please excuse the length of this (first) post.
I installed the latest GomPackage today - 'GomBaseAndDeltaPackage v2.4' - and also Zondor's TradeSizeAnalyzer. As far as I can tell, they've compiled correctly and I haven't seen any errors reported by NT7. However, the Ask volume seems to be disproportionately high on all currencies (cash FX, not futures).
The closest I have gotten so far to a correct plot, is for GC-continuous, though the plots still don't seem to add up correctly, and GomDeltaIndicator doesn't plot at all - not for futures, and not for currencies. Another issue seems to be an incorrect GomDeltaVolume - am I correct in assuming that the TotalVolume (blue) plot should be the sum of the plotted BidVol and AskVol? For some bars, I have got high TotalVolume, with no BidVol shown, and AskVol with a value of around half the TotalVolume. Additionally - when GomDeltaVolume is plotted for FX, it forms a repetitive sawtooth-wave style pattern on the Ask side.
Regarding the TradeSizeAnalyzer, I cannot seem to get it to plot correctly, as I have seen on the screendump posted by others. For FX, it seems to be binary (literally - no trade size levels), regardless of what values I set the indicator parameters to - I only get one colour for bid and one colour for ask. Also - if I change the 'Count Trades or Volume' parameter to 'TradesInLevels', I get only 3 values plotted: +100k, -100k and 0, and I also get red (askvol) bars above the zeroline, which doesn't make sense to me - please correct me if I've misunderstood
For GC, I managed to get a plot that vaguely resembles what you might expect, except that the trade size levels seem to be incorrect..
I appreciate that the issues is likely at my end, and possibly an incorrect configuration of some kind, and that the TradeSizeAnalyzer issues are likely related to the GomRecorderIndicator issues. However I would be extremely grateful if anyone can offer some advice as to a) things I should check for to ensure all is correctly configured b) any advice relating to the issues I have described..
I am attaching several screendumps, to clarify what I am trying to describe.
Thanks in advance to anyone who bothers to read all this and reply.
