Hi flx,

I’ve been off for some time, so I did not notice your new thread until now. Interesting!

From what you’re writing, you appear to have read most of Ehlers’ papers and / or books, and certainly a bit more.

I agree that it is not necessary to reproduce (smoothed) prices exactly in order to trade successfully, all it takes is timeliness…[Read more]

the only thing i found useful in the sim thread was that it makes you look at price action around inefficient market moves. this put me on the path of Order Flow. I just want to be sitting in a pile of imbalanced orders regardless of what various stats or indicators say about the next bar because it’s the imbalanced orders that move price  …[Read more]

interesting topic.

i would say, for me personally, candlesticks give me the positive effect of seeing ohlc of for example : weeks, days, quarters , easy and quick.

i think these levels are important. Price (or the traders) react at those levels quite often.

i ve puzzled some time with the statement that there´s a mathematical edge in ohlc of…[Read more]

Ok, when looking at tick data, we do not look at any timeframe, just incoming prices. OHLC, or candlesticks,  can only be constructed when we start to structure tick data according to rules we define. Most obvious rule is simple timing, i.e. a uniform timeframe.

Most traders choose one or more timeframes for their trading that are somehow…[Read more]

First of all, I do not think that there’s such a thing like a ‘stupid’ question. If someone does not know a certain fact, or does not understand every detail of somebody else’s statement, or just is a newbie in a certain field, or … (fill in whatever makes sense!), he or she should feel free to post a question hoping the community can help out!…[Read more]

let me clarify the image i posted was just something that looked interesting . i was noticing when all OSC’s get above say 20%  with the majority above 50% the potential fractal had way less chance of running a full 6 bars before a true fractal top/bot. my live trading method is more about trading a pullback back past a mid fractal if the long…[Read more]

was messing around with zz confluence. just for fun using 10 random oscillators/settings and waiting for the majority to gravitate above a percentage line.

each one falls into a mild supply/demand origin for another point of confluence.

Maybe the Natural MA was covered in Video #2 of the seminar series – the missing one.

There are functional MQL prototypes you can analyze in the links I provided above.

I do not understand the term ‘argmax i (NMM)’. Basically, the fast NMA is an NMA that dynamically truncates its own weighted lookback interval, thus acting faster than Standard…[Read more]

Yep, just skip the esoterics! Later on in Ch. 12 some analogies between physical and trading aspects, which I usually look at a bit skeptically, are becoming interesting from a very remote point of view.

What instantly intrigued me was Jim’s imperative attempt to remove as much arbitrariness as possible from any indicator calculation. Ever…[Read more]

Yep, my first impression was very similar, several weeks ago.

Let me cite from Chapter 8, ‘The Zen Moment’:

This is why, in my opinion, it is advantageous to develop at least partially your own approach to markets. The Advanced Ocean Software that is part of the Ocean Master program is designed to give you a set of tools with which to develop…

if dissimilarity is just divergence couldn’t it be a similar concept to mean reversion?

also the lowest TF could potentially always be the blueprint as its the origin of everything after it

if dissimilarity is just divergence couldn’t it be a similar concept to mean reversion?

few spots above seem to be taking a long time to resolve

@simplex good call. @gg53 you may can just change near line 438

if (useLowphatAlterateDrawMethod)
{
double b1,b2;
if (displayAUD){bAUD[shift]=phatCalcAUD[shift+1]-phatCalcAUD[shift+2];//change these lines to this?
