… and here is my question …
Before two or three years I’ve read the first time a rhetorical question:
Have you ever wonder, when you have a line graph, why in the hell would you invent the candlestick!!! ?
Clever Japanese people, they never did tell you why they invented it in the first place. Decades had past and then candlestick patterns…Anti replied to the topic Thread for (stupid) questions in the forum General Discussions 9 years, 2 months ago

From time to time a read something that gets my absolute attention. Then I think about it over and over again – for days, weeks, moths, and even years – without getting some answers to my questions on that topic. However, in these cases I’d like to discuss about the ideas/theories/topics and hear the opinions of other people.
Thus, this thread is…[Read more]

Ah, ok. Congratulation. But I don’t see how you trade it. Do you use it for trend trading or reversal trading?

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’:

Well, I read through the paper you linked to and I also watched some of the videos. I don’t really see something promising yet. Have you found some other papers on that topic (info seem to be quite rare).

Hi Guys!
I wonder whether anybody got in touch with Jim Sloman’s Ocean Theory. You’ll find a pdf here.
In the pdf, there is no copyright notice, so I’m not sure about its status. Jim passed away a few years ago, and his original website etc. are gone. His latest trading software suite (5000 USD) is not available anymore.
There’s a youtube…[Read more]

Thanks and yes, this is how it works using iCustom …
But as G. wrote he’s seeking a solution without iCustom.

Ok. In this early CIX implementation, it’s not that easy.
First step might be to integrate functions
setAllCurrencyIndexBuffers
setAllRawValueBuffersResetting OR setAllRawValueBuffersContinuous (depends on what you prefer)
setAllSmoothedBuffersin one single function, which can then be called multiple times to calculate the 1st…[Read more]

I’m trying to evaluate your code, but can’t find an easy way to find a solution (NOT iCustom…).
Can I have a simple (coded) answer, or have to re-read the code?
Thanx,
G.
simplex replied to the topic Fundamental Currency Strength in the forum Trading Systems Discussion 9 years, 2 months ago
Long time no see – welcome back!

From earlier discussions I remember that you’re a real fan of iCustom() calls. So this would be the obvious and simple solution to try. I’m sure I don’t have to explain to you how this works.
If iCustom is not preferred this time, you might start looking at function OnCalculate(), lines 389 – 406.…[Read more]

How can I get previous value of a currency?
I mean something like EUR[2] – EUR[1]?

I decided to share one of my indicators which I have developed in during the study of Eurusdd’s concepts. It is pretty much the same as Ralome’s StochDiff indicator from FF. However, there are a few differences:
It doesn’t show dissimilarity zones.
It is designed in a way to show the relative position of prize (orchid) and stochastic (orange)…[Read more]Anti replied to the topic The similarity system – discussion in the forum General Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago

Hi Lowphat,
let’s start some conversation. I don’t see why the “unfilled order” theory should be related to TZs – even if we ignore mid-TZs. If some big orders get filled doesn’t automatically mean that prize will rise quickly. Prize can also move slowly (it all depends on recent market orders and its directions …).

Hi Lowphat!
Did you provide proper ‘symbol suffix’ input parameter? Looks like your account requires a ‘pro’ here.
Best, s.
