Very interesting. I've never seen or heard of the Vortex indicator until now. Yes, the base calculations are identical. I will do more research into this indicators and its uses. I do use weekly and monthly data and I trade interday. The action of ...

Here's what it looks like now. Short side is overfilled, but secondary indicators say this should continue to the short side. We are at a key support level, so we'll see if it busts through. SB

Here's how things look as of now for current session. I'm getting mixed signals from my system. No idea where this going. SB

Please elaborate if you can...was it similar to what I'm doing? Spreadsheet trading seems few and far between in the retail world. It's more of an institutional thing. I'm always looking for fresh ideas. I will try and post up numbers everyday for ...

I don't have a quantitative answer for that, I've traded it from time to time, but my focus has been on development. I can say that it is remarkably accurate for times, and then can suffer multiple losses in a row when it doesn't properly detect ...

The 9/14 session just opened for me and here's what the numbers look like. You can see both Long and Short are fairly low, indicating there isn't really a strong momentum to either side. My system is calling for a weak Long. There are other ...

As I was focusing on explaining the TCDs, I hid a column that would explain that. The screen below shows the 'Omega' column which is same day high - low. This indicator is similar to an average true range. The Omega is the fill of the EWMA of the ...

Here's just a quick example of the basics of how it works. See screenshots below, the first is the state of the TCD fills at Open last Friday 9/11. Notice the short TCD fill was already at 122% and the long side was sitting at about 40%. This ...

Anacot, great story, thanks for sharing. It is remarkably similar to mine and I am inspired by your story, really. I remember seeing a special about daytraders all the way back in 1999. This was just before the dotcom bubble when it was glam to be a ...

George, Two ways to do this: a) Easy way- If you will have a continued, uninteruppted DDE link between MT4 and Excel, you can have Excel capture the high or low of the day or whatever you want from the DDE live data (ie. using events in VBA your ...

Privately owned L-39's, which, if memory serves, is what 7th has claimed to own, number in the thousands, so it wouldn't be unheard of. John Travolta has a f*%king Boeing 727 parked in his front yard and nobody goes nuts over that.

Sent you a PM

OK, I see now. I didn't notice it was a script.

You need to add a variable that sets to false when a trade is entered and will lock out any other trades until it is set back to true. Declare a bool variable called TradeAllow or something like that and set it to false after the trade is entered. ...

Hello all, good thread. I'm surprised I haven't seen this one before. I am a self taught programmer. I have learned Excel extensively and more recently been coding in C#. I have completed a fully functioning C#.NET application for my own trading ...

dmuk, I am a believer in the 'When you are ready to learn, the teacher will appear' philosophy. I think seeking a mentor leads to heartache and wasted time, mostly because those who label themselves mentors usually charge for the service and usually ...

mabenn, You got pretty beat up on this thread, such is the way with forums with small minded people. Maybe you've got a lot to learn (I don't know). At least you're sincere and seemingly honest. If I had several million to my name and could easily ...

Ha, ha, yes. If I remember the story correctly, Jacko asked 7th to trade his money and when 7th said 'no', the idiot became irate and started bashing 7th to no end. I feel bad for those that lost $$, but if they would have done due diligence and ...

I have been playing with this method too. My advice, keep it simple. Just load the basic EA that opens the 14 pairs in a demo account (or create your own script) and just watch the price action. Make sure to sort by profit, and take note of who's in ...

Goes to show that MT4 is not a good platform, never has, never will be. FXCM is a good broker in my experience and I have no idea why they decided to soil their reputation by being 'one of those MT4 brokers'. My opinion only, take it FWIW. Smoke
