Thanks for updating with JS Services new pricing mjones11. The last time I had a trial, circumstances changed and I was unable to trade the day sessions. I'm now in a position to start day trading again and given that I only want to focus on trading CL for now, I will give it another look as the new pricing structure is appealing if you are only looking at a few markets.
I've been working on my entry techniques using orderflow with the help of some algorithms I've put together on Investor RT and use these in combination reading the DOM and vista heatmap with Jigsaw, so I'm interested to see how my entries align with the JS levels. I'll update with some screen shots once I get up and going with the subscription.
Does anyone use JS Services with Investor RT? They don't have a plug in for IRT, but interested to know if anyone has set up an easy method to get the levels into IRT.
Thanks.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I now have a subscription for Crude Oil $99 per month, had a brief look at the levels and they were pretty much spot on yesterday along with the strategy. The entries were also aligned with my own ones, so I'm looking forward to testing this and hopefully try to avoid my overtrading! I'm away to start a 50k TST combine so will update how I get on.
I'm in the process of setting up master levels in Investor RT so that it is fairly easy to import the levels each day. These should be set up using a quotepage which links to V#'s. If anyone has IRT/JSS and would like me to share with them the chart set up for levels only let me know. Once I have them set up, I'll post a chart so you can see and details of how to do it.
only drawback i see from JS is that you 100% rely on something from 3rd party, and your own analysis is no longer needed.
i dont hink thats good in the long run. JSS however informed me they provide service for already 25 years, so basically safe from risk of being left with no strategy if they go out of business.
I have noticed their levels very often match my own preparation on several markets, incl CL, DAX and Bund, but what I think JSS does a great job at is they let you know if these levels have to be bought or sold in current market state. And thats what i am missing big time
I'm will be trading CL in RTH, possibly the globex session too some days as there are good opportunities there. I have two little rascals aged 2 and 4, so try to work around them
I know what you mean about using a service, as you have to rely on it and this does concern me. However, for the moment I would just like to become profitable then worry about not using the levels, but baby steps!
One thing if using Jigsaw, apparently the integration is not working at the moment and they are waiting for Jigsaw to get a fix. I'll contact Peter at Jigsaw to find out when they will get it sorted. I think Jigsaw are away to release a new revision of Jigsaw in a couple of weeks with some interesting new features, so hopefully that will be the latest that its fixed.
i have done a trial and watched them, i havent utilized them to full extent with the way John says to use them in terms of using stops and targets. I think i was messing things up a little by combining the way i trade and the way JS levels should be used. so looking forward to hear if you get a better experince. One thing i learnt for sure - just trade as he says and see where it will get you.
also, i think having 1 market on JSS is not so beneficial as you will be taking suboptimal entries, having a few markets will let you choose the best setups. levels are often so far away from current market that very often you dont get a decent trade in 1 instrument for couple of days at least
sjegorov in the future I would like to expand to other markets, but for now I'm just going to concentrate and become profitable in one.
There are plenty of opportunities in Crude daily, but having a market state awareness will hopefully keep me on the right side during difficult choppy trading days and lower my expectation for larger trades (neutral/non event days).
My own methodology has been moving towards analyzing orderflow only. Hence the reason to focus on one market at a time as ordeflow varies for market to market and this is crucial for me to get a better entry and minimize my stop distances. But I think with these levels and awareness of the market state will allow me to focus in on areas to do business and stop trying to take absolutely every small move. So will just have to see how I get on using JSS levels and combining it into my own method for entry/exit.
I was supposed to start this week, but all my charts messed up when I tried to change to the front month, so have been trying to get them fixed. Finally came up with a solution today to get the JSS levels into IRT. I was previously importing them using user variables via a quote page, but probably something I did wrong in IRT when rolling over. Tried everything to get it working, but now use Flexlevels to import and this seems to work great. If anyone would like to know how to set up JSS flex levels in IRT, give me a shout.
Also, I have been working on my entry signals, which have changed a little for the better and includes the market auction and volume and I'm pretty pleased with them. I have been watching the levels from JSS and I'm looking forward to go live next week. I will post how I get on with them, but the levels seems spot on and having a market structure and context is extremely useful.
I'll post today's set ups after the close, some nice trades today had I been trading live... however, there's a difference from hindsight than actually placing the trades! So next weeks progress will be of more use.
Using a combination of my signals, reading ordeflow on Jigsaw and JSS levels will hopefully get me on the right track and I'm looking forward to try and put this into action testing on a 50k TST combine.
Here's a chart from today for info. As you can see the market moves between the levels pretty much spot on with the main volume today trading at the DIR and CR+ with a break up to UP. For info there was just over 300 lots of liquidity bang on the CR+ when price pulled back to the CR+.
I have the levels set to compact, but these can easily be changed to spread across the whole chart by a couple of clicks of the mouse. If anyone would like the flex levels CSV file let me know and I can share, you just need 2 variables set up that you also need to change each day for the alert distances and variable levels. You just need to cut and paste the JSS levels from their excel sheet into the CSV file and if required change the VAR and AD via variables on your chart which you can have buttons on your chart. Once set up, takes minutes.
