@gg53:

Thank you for sharing your model! I tried to understand it and compiled your numbers into a spreadsheet – see attachment. I’m getting slighly different numbers, maybe I misunderstand some detail.

USD/EUR     24.1 vs. 27.2
USD/JPY      18.3 vs. 18.7
USD/GBP      8.8 vs. 9.6
and so forth …

Could you give me some feedback regarding the…[Read more]

On Currency-Strength:

Since we are going to use Currency-Strength as part confirmation for Entry/Exit, I’d like to share my view on the subject of Currency Market Share.

I already introduced the USDx, which is the Dollar Index, based on US Trade basket of US trade partners currencies, and the way it’s calculated.

I’m using the same calculation…[Read more]

@fuzzy:

Looking at the way you’re addressing the ‘news problem’ makes me feel confident that everybody can relax now about this topic. It’s obviously in good hands!

Enjoy your weekend … looking forward to your further contributions!

Great one:

You announced tidy code … I found tidy code. I really appreciate that!

Just one little remark about your input dialog – see pics. Your internal remarks (30, 15) are not very informative on the user’s side. I would suggest to replace

sinput int minutesBeforeNews = 150;//30

sinput int minutesAfterNews =…[Read more]

At the moment only in my brain or on my hard disk. I will post my version later this morning. Stay tuned, please!

@simplex,

Asymmetic ATR channel is interesting … any information how to learn more about it ?

Thanks in advance ..

Hi G,

You are right about this, i found it at Rossbot EA some months ago … tried to change some variables and functions name at that time, but as i tested it after that, i still got so success …  i think i should see it again …

looks nice on this small chart example. Does it look similar in other situations?  Do you think that with the addition of VZO , entries would be even more precise?

I´ve played around the various Clear Indicators and VZO inside a simple, noobish EA . WIth my limited coding “skill” i can´t do anything more than that. No really spectacular su…[Read more]

I continued tweaking the Clear Indicator. Embedding it in an asymmetric ATR based channel seems to provide some nice entry triggers.

What do you think?

EURUSD completed the 60% retracement after today news drop.

I think that xux99 implemented a call to FFCAL in his Orcus EA, but not sure.

Thank you very much brother …  now i remember, looking at big TF first to get overall information … then look at smaller & smaller & smaller TF … this is how our friend “vlady” at FF always did before making a decision too …  Your image explains it clearly, really appreciate … Thanks 

Thanks simplex, will look at it … 

I love tidy coding!

If the EventSetTimer method of an indicator called by iCustom affects the timer event handling of the calling EA … that would be what I consider a mega-bug. It should not happen.

But the original plan was (if I’m not wrong) to have not only a news indicator, but to compile it to a callable stand alone function…[Read more]
