Disliked{quote} Interesting stuff C... I am repenting coming here. The more the read, the more I am getting OCD into this sh*t LOL Could I ask the logic/calculation behind the "heat map" feature? Do you have one EA running multiple strategies or one EA per strategy (via input parameter)? It's bit of challenge for me to assess and compare equity heat/performance of my EA running in one account against the same EA running in another account in another MT4 terminal instance on the same laptop. It's already overloading the CPU since the last account creation....Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi V The heat map mate is a dashboard that simply summarises some of the key features of the entire fixed universe we use on a single brokers platform (in this case Pepperstone) and the status of each of the instruments. For example whether pending orders have been established (Pend) and are yet to be activated or whether the trade is live (Live) or whether the instrument has no defined status (Inact). The Dashboard ranks the instruments by Buy status or Sell status in the context of where price lies in relation to the Donchian we apply...Ignored

Disliked{quote} So let's look at NZD CAD with Kaufmann's MA: {image} According to this we don't have much conviction that NZDCAD will continue lower?Ignored
Disliked{quote} The Kauffman MA perhaps would be a good indicator to measure the strength of momentum *once* we have filtered our trade selections to the setups with the highest R:R probability. The market structure approach perhaps provides a basis to first focus on the anticipated momentum surges that have the greatest potential attributed to the optimal position sizing to achieve the biggest bang for buck in our universe. At the moment with our ranking systems we are spoiled for choice....but the market structure approach (needs to be tested) potentially...Ignored
Disliked{quote} OK, so let's do preliminary framework to discuss: A. Entry: 1. Draw SDC on weekly. 2. Look for markets which are in lower part of SDC in trend up and vice versa 3. I put daily and 4h to show how it looks. Daily SDC up, 4h SDC would be down. 4. KAMA cross on 1h would be entry signal according to weekly SDC. 5. 1h SDC would be down now. {image} B. Initial SL: 1. Weekly SDC? C. Trailing: 1. SDC drawn on hourly from last low/high. I don't think this is closer to automation, as you need to assess on weekly the best SDC *AND* its Standard deviation.......Ignored
Disliked{quote} Great ideas R....but let's work on the detail a bit over the next week or so and thrash it around. Ideally we use the weekly TF simply to provide the context for our trades. The main idea is that we are trying to position our entries to as close as possible to a significant new swing move in the direction of the primary swing of W1 where we assume momentum in terms of sharp swing reversals is strongest. This provides a filter to significantly reduce our potential hit list from any dynamic universe and an associated logic we can objectively...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Great ideas! 1. I was thinking that this is Reverter replacement or convergent element....but without TP. It is not supposed to be breakout model. 2. 1h timeframe would add diversification benefit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHrbOlKiD1YIgnored
Disliked{quote} Definitely R (even more reason for this exercise).....Even if it does not offer any substantive improvement on our current primary model plus reverter...it will be useful as an additional system for diversification purposes. I liked that Paul Cardall piece mate. Here I am on a high and then you chill me down. It has a bit of the Secret Garden vibe about it.... :-)Ignored
