@George:

And all of them are made in advance.

Ok, but with such an abundant number of levels on your chart you’ll always find some bars reversing close to one of them, and probably even more bars that do not.

What’s the edge provided here?

Hi @Anti, @pipatronic:

Yes, I know there’s life outside of forex forums

I understand that you’re busy, and I appreciate the fact that both of you are among those members who really dedicated a part of their work to the community and shared your insights.

Let’s stay in touch.

Thanks for that, and all the best!

Hello G.

You’re right, it’s very silent if those few who are usually driving the activities do not post. That’s exactly why  I did not post anything substantial for a while.

Anyway, work is carried on, see attachment. In my current CIX version, there also is no ‘extra’ smoothing involved. In that ‘relative’ implementation shown here the smooth…[Read more]

Re. 1.

The problem with a ‘representative cycle length’ or ‘dominant cycle length’ (see John F. Ehlers’ publications) is that the concept relies on a high degree of stationarity of your system. Ehlers wrote a lot about that, and as an Electrical Engineer and Radar Specialist he seems to believe in the concept for trading. When using a radar…[Read more]

Yes, this appears to be true:

For the open CS part, my CIX is still on the table. Currently I’m working to encapsulate its core algorithm into one single function to be used in EAs and in the indicator respectively. Yet a bad cold and fever are still stopping me out, so my work slowed down for the moment …

I’m open for any suggestion to…[Read more]

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

I think I can speak for all contributing coders saying that we would need considerably more detail about your test conditions and results to help us finish our project. Thank you for trying! We’re certainly open for any contribution. Please provide details!

And personally I would not recommend to put this EA…[Read more]

Hi Eamonn,

There’s nothing to be added to something. We’re just displaying a bullish or a bearish colour on each bar. The question is: which colour on a Sunday candle?

s.

@Eamonn, @gg53:

What should happen if a Sunday bar is detected?

display nothing?
display previous value?
display ‘exception’ colour?
… ?

I just came across Chuck LeBeau’s following presentation:

https://community.tradestation.com/discussions/data/20050225165005lebeau.pdf

That one was not written for the forex markets, but Chuck highlights some interesting thoughts regarding our current Trailing Stop vs. Taking Profit discussion.

From my side, CIX is on the table. It reflects my current knowledge, and I’m staying open for any suggestion to enhance the base algorithm. Latest WIP version has got minor changes regarding calculation of slope by linear regression.

The longer I’m working with CLEAR, the more I prefer it displayed as a line on chart instead of a separate…[Read more]

Hi Anti!

Why in the main window? It would visually interfere with original charts, so original charts would have to be made invisible to enhance usability. Displayed in a separate window, this would not be necessary.

I already developed a simple tick based indicator, posted somewhere around in another thread. Modifiying it to display tick prices…[Read more]

Decreasing only the SL side of our trade will constantly increase the probability that the SL is hit by random price movements, while leaving the probability that TP is hit unchanged. It is clearly preferable to hit TP. So regarding probabilities, it might make sense to decrease TP in a similar manner like SL just to increase the probability…[Read more]
