The Hat Trading Method 27 replies
Quoting twoblinkDislikedThe problem is, The HAT works well as a visual confirmation; as something "hard" to write software against, it's difficult. It's a rather "soft" system; but works well in trends and not so choppy markets.
The longer the timeframe, the smoother the HAT. Try the weekly chart, and you will see. It's good to use as a "trend confirmation" but entry and exit is not as sweet as I had hoped for..Ignored
Quoting hidetherealDislikedI was thinking the same thing. I'm most likely going to use it for trend confirmation occasionally. For this it would work very well. I didn't have much luck using it as a way to trade but I also only used it for a very short while.Ignored
Quoting jlowderDislikedI've tweaked the system a bit and seem to be having good initial luck with it. The only problem is when the markets change in the middle of the night and I'm not there to catch the change..
Instead of .618 I use 1 for the T3. This gets me into the markets sooner. I also took the two moving averages from the Sidus method (the 5 and 8 lma) to determine entry and exit points (when used with the T3). This way the T3 can hit on the bars and you won't necessarly be thrown an exit signal.
If I could get an EA that would close my trades out when my MA's cross I could use that during the night to better stop me out of a trade that changes. I've noticed that when used with the T3 you can avoid much of the smaller ups and downs that sometimes happen.
So yes, so far I think this could make for a really good trading method. I'm using the 4 hour charts.

Quoting hidetherealDislikedSo your using the cross of the 5 and 8 lma after the close above the t3 as your entry method and then the cross of the 5 and 8 lma as your exit? I might have completely misunderstood you.Ignored
Quoting renasdadDislikedHas anyone been using the HAT lately? How is it going? I am seeing a few nice trades that could have been taken lately. Or, has anyone thought of a good way to add/modify the HAT? Just curiousIgnored

Quoting twoblinkDislikedAlthough it is just the combination of 3 indicators and a few rulesets; I hope that the HAT has helped some of you to either profit or think "outside the box".
From the looks however of the use of the T3 indicator that has exploded on FF these past few days, I'd say the HAT has had quite some influence on some of you.
That said...
I have abandoned the HAT for something that is superior in every way. So I will now unofficially BSD style license the hat. Do with it as you wish, made whatever changes you want to or need to.
Enjoy.Ignored
Quoting jlowderDislikedWhat is this new method/system and are you willing to share? :-)

Quoting renasdadDislikedDude, hasn't he given enough? Maybe hs is working on something very interesting and isn't ready to share yet. I'd say with the right way of thinking, this system could explode a persons profits.Ignored
Quoting twoblinkDislikedActually, I realize "some" appreciate my efforts; and the efforts of others. I also realize that others are here simply to leech and contribute nothing.
I PM quite a bit, those who give intelligent feedback, and I try to ignore the freeloaders that burden me.
As for sharing the new method; that's still up for internal debate.
Look at the HAT thread. How many suggestions and improvements did I get on it? I've gotten 4 improvements on it, and they are all from PM's from others. So far, looking at the thread, the contribution has been luke warm at best..
I haven't seen a reason why I should share. Those whom I can benefit from, I have already shared with. The quickest way for not just me, but anybody not to share, is for others to expect that they SHOULD share, or somehow are obligated to share.
Sounds snobbish I know, but if and when I share, it will be when I'm good and ready.Ignored
Quoting twoblinkDislikedAt times, I want to reply to every stupid post with "Who is John Galt?" If a bunch of people one day disappear because they get sick and tired of answering stupid questions, and all move to some little secluded place in Colorado, don't act surpised.Ignored
Quoting twoblinkDislikedJason,
First, I wasn't singling you out at all.
Second,if you were me, what would you do? I can:
A) Spend time on a private forum with a bunch of geniuses who are way smarter than I am and I can learn from..
B) Throw something onto FF, get no feedback, and every other thread is "Do you have this for MT??" Take a look at this thread, and more so my old OCC thread, and you tell me what I should do...
Nobody is paying me to contribute, I contribute to give back. But when it becomes a burden, then I have to start questioning the value of giving back.
My math is "way out there". OR.. is the question "Why isn't your math way out there as well?" I do not make apologies for the math I know, because I took a college calculus book, sat down with it, and read it 14 hours a day, for 2 weeks. That's how I learned my calculus. Almost everything I know, is self-taught. I sometimes almost feel "guilty" that most aren't up to certain levels. If someone is explaining someone that I don't understand, I scramble to catch up. I never ask them to "can you give me a template so I don't have to understand it and can just install it?"
Being a newbie is reading first, and then asking questions; or asking questions about what to read up on so they can ask intelligent questions. Being a leech is not reading a thread or the supporting information and
asking the same stupid questions... Everybody knows who they are, and which catagory they fit into.
For example, I wasn't born with the knowledge of a T3 indicator; I typed "T3 indicator" into google and read the first 50 results; that's what I do with every topic. That's how I learn.
I won't lie, I've made money and I've lost money in the forex. Like almost everybody else; I've lost more than I've made. That is what made me decide that I haven't been working hard enough at it.
I can tell you right now, I can give most of the folks all the indicators in the world, and they will still lose lose lose their money and the shirts off their backs. The indicators aren't what important; most of them are lazy, fat, or lazy and fat; and their work ethic shows they are looking for the quick buck off of hardworking people like me.
How I'm suppose to "support" people like that by donating my time; I can't even begin to comprehend how people think this is right.
At times, I want to reply to every stupid post with "Who is John Galt?" If a bunch of people one day disappear because they get sick and tired of answering stupid questions, and all move to some little secluded place in Colorado, don't act surpised.Ignored
