Hi All, please forgive me for not active in this forum lately, as usual many offline job to take care family company business that make me lowering my trading hobby.. lol.

Also please forgive me that I can’t answer your PMs or question posts, there’s too many repeated same topic questions that actually you could ‘search’ your answers.

But, lets…[Read more]

At the current stage of development it doesn’t really make sense to introduce higher or lower timeframes. If we did, we couldn’t backtest anymore, and backtesting is most valuable when enhancing functions like dynamic SL and TP.

From my point of view, it makes sense to introduce higher or lower TF after these functions are working at a…[Read more]

The trade management of the indicator is  moderately accurate as it  does not use M1 data. It also only uses bid prices whereas the EA uses bid or ask. These reasons should explain the different results. The indicator is mainly a visual and alerting aid, it can’t replace the EA and is not comparable to it. The indicator starts calculating the c…[Read more]

Good link, thanks for this:

It makes sense to review good old resources from time to time.

Great code snippet! Is it sufficient to check this only once in OnInit(), or should it better be checked before opening or modifying an actual trade?

Hi Vlan!

Good to have you back! From my point of view, partial close, moving SL to BE, trailing stop, and news are working fine.

Currently my main concern is that dynamic TP function based on ADX. I coded it according to my understanding of G.’s requirements. At the moment it progresses TP too far, because ADX will turn around too late. What…[Read more]

@kapybara:

Yes, a bit confusing! Milan, would you mind asking GP Support for an explanation of this issue? You’re the one whose account is hit by those limitations, so I think it makes sense that you would ask.

If their support does not provide a satisfactory answer, you might place your question in public via Steve Hopwood’s forum, where GP…[Read more]

Hi max,

It is not clear to me. Do you mean the indicator shared by brother Kiads ?

If you mean my indicator, it has bug, so i never share it … i am afraid it will give bad result and bring loss … it is just a “toy” for me to playing around on a demo account

Guys,

I think this discussion is heating up mostly due to the lack of detailed facts in many arguments.

I’ve got some coding and more to do, so please don’t mind if I’m quitting here for a while.

Halo brother Kiads,

I am afraid that EU still will go to the south to reach 1.0992x  , or even 1.0912x  …  before she goes to north again 

But, I hope it will not go there (because i have buy orders …   ).  Any idea ?

Thanks

Upload your backtest to myfxbook by adding a strategy. Then use only the profitable trading hours to optimize the settings. The image below shows a EURCAD backtest with default settings, notice that only certain trading hours are profitable.

Great! Any specific post, or just generally since we met here?

Two instances of CIX used simultaneously as a practical answer?

Top: short term, very reactive, RSI normalization (this is for entry timing by anticipating swing reversal)

Bottom: medium term, timeframe normalization (this is for selection of which pairs to trade)

Combined SELL entries are at the orange lines.

I’m afraid you’re right!

It’s a question of the individual strategy preferred: fishing for exact swing reversals under controlled conditions or ‘good old’ waiting for confirmation. Like one of the ‘great’ traders said: I’m satisfied to cut the middle 30 or 40 % of a swing and let the others fight for the rest. I don’t remember who it was, but I…[Read more]

Not confused! I just think you found a stable and well-balanced set of parameters for your system to work at optimum performance.

Using MAs for trading, we always have to find some balance between two antagonistic mathematical methods: integration and differentiation.

Applying the MA (integration) to prices always introduces a certain amount of lag. Choosing a state of the art adaptive filter instead of a simple SMA can reduce the amount of lag while at the same time…[Read more]

Most CS indicators are lagging to some extent. And so do my early attempts to code a CS. All those discussions with @gg53 about this topic convinced me that this is not necessarily so, and my latest CIX is tuned to be much more reactive than every CS I coded earlier. But ok, it’s a bit choppy now. And since we want to calculate a slope, ‘some’…[Read more]

Thanks for this:

I also experimented with VZO settings different than the defaults suggested in Khalil’s article. I found that VZO 4 … 8, limits around 60 looked interesting, so very much similar to your suggestion.

I will certainly try your breakout, anticipating the reversal! I’m curious how the exact timing will meet CIX and CLEAR.
