Hey y’all,
If you follow the ProsperityPub Telegram, you probably saw this post yesterday…
(Also, if you’re not following the Telegram, you should be! I’m really trying to grow it and I’d love for you to join me over there…)
Here’s the backstory behind that message:
Right now, I am working with Geof Smith to do some research for an impressive new strategy he’s working on.
I’m not gonna spill all the beans just yet, we need some time. But essentially, to get the data I needed, I had to be able to look at minute-by-minute candles at the opening bell all the way back to near the start of the year.
TradingView couldn’t help me… their data only went back to mid-summer, even on a paid plan.
ThinkOrSwim only gave me one-minute candles back 30 days (or so I thought, back to that in a moment…)
And Stockchart.com had the data back to when I needed it, but the charts were fixed to a full day… I couldn’t really zoom in and investigate the time period I needed to focus on.
Now, this process was extremely frustrating, but now that I’ve had some time to reflect on it, it’s left me more thankful than annoyed!
We really have an unbelievable amount of trading resources at our disposal, and many of them are completely free to use!
And just because these sites didn’t have the exact data I needed doesn’t mean they didn’t have a nearly unlimited supply of extremely valuable data to help you understand the markets better!
So whatever platform you use to look at charts, I’m sure it’s an incredibly good and valuable one.
Oh, and, by the way… Graham eventually cracked the code for me.
If I use ThinkorSwim’s OnDemand feature, which offers way more historical data, I should be able to find the research points I need.
So, I’ll be spending all day trying to crack that case.
I hope you get to spend your Tuesday doing something a little more fun!
To your prosperity,
Stephen Ground
