123PatternsV6 revisited

Hello all!

I've installed both 123PaternsV6 and 123PaternsV7 on the same M5 chart and I like signals they produce.

But I've found that 123PaternsV7 does not update along with prices flow.
I mean that when initialized it shows signals and that's it.
While 123PaternsV6 does process new bars as they arrive, 123PaternsV7 does not.

How can this be fixed?
Thanks!

PS. I set VolFilter = False. Maybe this has caused the problem.
I found that with VolFilter = False the indicator shows better signals (for me).
Also I do not trust Volume values in the forex market.
Since they are just ticks density, not real contracts volume.
Thus if some banks fill multimillion contracts there will be few ticks ("volumes") but a huge price shift.

Hi Robdee!

I have been studying forex trading for some months and doing practice trades on a few systems available in FF. I find 123 Patterns system is interesting and viable. Your team efforts in getting the system improved and fine-tuned and in helping others is really praisworthy. At the moment I'm going thro' the key thread posts. Many thanks

Hi Robdee!

Please consider to upgrade the indicator in the following way:

...

extern bool ShowComment = True;

...

//+------------------------------------ ------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator iteration function |
//+------------------------------------ ------------------------------+
int start()
{
// REDRAW ONLY ONE TIME PER CANDLE
if (redrawtime == Time[0]) // if already redrawn on this candle then do no more
{
if (ShowComment) // IF USER WANTS COMMENT
StatusMessage();
return(0);
} // if already redrawn on this candle then do no more

else redrawtime = Time[0]; // remember when the indicator was redrawn

...

// update the status display
if (ShowComment)
StatusMessage();
}// end of start()

...

Thanks!

depends on your timeframe and how tight your stops are....if you are on 1hr or higher and willing to risk at least 50 pips - aint nothing wrong with it and risk to reward ratio is intact.

now if you are trying to trade it on 5 min - you are experiencing some serious churn right about now.

Good day Robdee

I've been following your thread for sometime now and I find your concept of 1-2-3 pattern trading very interesting.

What actually catch my attention the most is your circle bars. I have always been fascinated by cycles in the financial market.

Do you mind sharing the cycle bar that shows date at key turning point with me. I will like to study it and probably add my idea to it and make it better.
Hello

is that this indicator is multi time frame (MTF) or only 5 minutes ?

thanks
Hi RobDee, sorry for my poor english, I'm calling from Brasil.
I love your 123Pattern.
Is it possible inform which is the best indicator to work together with 123PatternV6?
Thanks,

Hi, RobDee;

First of all, Happy new year, and merry Christmas to you (If you are celebrating); also happy holiday.

you done a great job on the 123 pattern indicator. I am running simulation, which is very profitable.

Well, little bit more to ask, as I am not good at counting 123; if you can add in the 123 numbers, and arrow (As V6), it will be much more helpful for people like me.

Thanks.

It is very nice to combine 123Paterns with Zigzag indicator; but while working with the standard ZigZag, proposed by MetaQuotes, I have found some errors. The main problem is that it doesn't proceed the case of the outside bar properly. At first, i just want to initiate a new post to talk about the errors and optimization of Zigzag indicator. but I am only a junior number which is not authorized to do that by FF. I don't know if someone else found the Zigzag had some paradox inherent in its plotting as me. By the way, could anyone tell me how to be a certified member of FF? thanks.

+50 +13 +20 +18 +BE +35 +16 +25 = 177 pips on EU today. First signal I missed. 2nd signal I reversed because it was to close to the fibo and MA. The 3rd signal I reversed because it did not agree with my filters. The BE I closed because it was against my filters and in hindsight I should not have taken it.


Nice Indi RobDee, I use the 123 reversal everyday in my trading, have done for years. But there is no doubt that this works very well provided a good filter is used, I use the TDI and stochastics from the TMS method along with Fibos and the 50 and 200EMA.


The second chart I have marked up with the 123s as I saw them. matches up pretty well.


Thanks Robdee. Shame the thread died.
