Hi Julius and all eager pipsters
I had a real dejavu when I saw this thread - I had a similar idea a few years back, but didn't have the skills to test it - I was trying to use excel to create the comparisons, and it was just too labour intensive and so I shelved the idea.
At last I have a chance to find out if this really works!
Now we have some great indicators (even though they're kinda work in progress) and they have been able to answer some questions I had about the length of timeframe used for comparing the basket to current prices. If you look at my screen shots, you'll see that I have set Orests version at both last night and the previous night (Julius's IA start time) and the 3 weeks prior to that - Julius's IA time clearly shows the sells at the top, the later one shows the buys on top.
I also set TC's new indi to just last 4 hrs and his clearly said BUY.
So I bought all and raced to +400 pips in no time at all. (Total pips +1900 in 36hrs (+1500 in shorts))
I predict that the decision to trade or not is gonna be the next week long saga ..........
If this doesn't step on Julius's toes, I would love to see Orests version completed as it saves on all the exporting to excel malarky.
Cheers
Jim
PS For all those struggling to implement, please slowly read the thread and make notes, it's all here!!
