{quote} hayseed thanks for reply!I refer to post 214. how can you make 7 level band only with one indicator?
//----

hey lyliaz.... that was long ago so i had to look at the code.....

to make 7 bands you must apply the indicator 7 times with proper settings..... then, if it's something useful, save it as a template.......

the settings are two fold.... one method uses the atr in multiples and the other uses pips in multiples.....

as example, if you want the tsr lines every 20 pips above, you would set pips to 20 and set multiplier at 1..... reapplying the indicator with 20 pips and setting the multiplier at 2 would place another tsr 40 pips above...... a multiplier of -1 would set the tsr 20 pips blow, multiplier of -2 would be 40 pips below...... and so on..... each time reapplying the indicator and increasing the pips or multiplier......

leaving the pips at 0 and adjusting the atr input with the same multiplier adjustments would set the lines offset by the atr value.....

once you have 5 or 6 lines above and below, save it as a template to easily reapply to another chart......

i used this same scheme in a reversion to mean expert adviser ...... buy limit or sell limit orders with their lot size adjusted by the lines location would ride the tsrs.....

might add, this sort of expert adviser is widely frowned on by many members but worked well for me in live accounts........h

Dear Hayseed,
It is like I was meant to find your post, kind of spooky that I seem to be going on those steps. Up to 7,8 and 9 Thank you for being an awesome parent, teaching such skills to your kids will give them priceless experience - basically something that is so important and will never be taught in school. Teaching my mum currently hehehe, but wish my parents were more into finance related things.

Best Regards,
Tzamo

chart examples below for luja...... luja, keep in mind that if trading was easy fxcm would not of had to borrow that 200 million..... and if it was easy, no broker would be able to keep employees..... trading is hard risky work..... you can lose more than your deposit...... 1. trade only with the trends at first.... my definition of first is at least 2 years..... 2. trade the smallest of lot sizes ,0.01, and only target 1 or 2$ at first..... this should equate to roughly 20 pips on a 0.01 lot trade.... roughly, pip value is different on different...

had to look back to see what 7, 8, and 9 were...... learning to code has helped me...... no doubt about it..... code open doors few can imagine......

knowing what might come next is slightly better than not knowing..... that's all the break we need.....h

Dear hayseed,
To know what is coming next I seem to fall on leading indicators to cut noise and make it easier to calculate the probability of a future move.

I was hoping to learn to program to automate part of my strategy so that I do not miss things, or even make a low risk EA to trade on the side that can beat the 0.03% a day rate of banks. Have I got it the wrong way? or mis-understanding what I can do with coding? I need to get this right as I consider this an option for me to make my own funding for research into the things that do not get funding as the resulting things created should be available for non-profit....

Thank you again for taking the time to reply to my post, Kind Regards,
Tzamo

hey tzamo.... there is no problem beating the yearly interest rates at banks.... you can do that in a single trade.... on a hundred $ standard account all you need is 1 trade making 1 $..... that's all..... 10 pips with a 0.01 eurusd lot...... your done for the year...... 10 pips with a 0.1 lot and your done for 10 years..... 1 trade.....

to explain fully what i meant regarding code would probably take me days to speak it..... and it would probably take days to get it all straight in my mind before that..... it would take me weeks to type it out.....

think of your favorite pair to trade.....

can you tell me how many times on average the daily macd crosses the 0 line a year....

how many times does the price cross through the daily ichi cloud a year......

how many psar breaks a year.....

how many times does the tsr(30) change color.....

whats the average (12,5,3) zigzag leg.... how far on average does it extend after the first printing.....

code can tell in seconds every imaginable question on every known indicator on every pair on every timeframe.....

code can tell you the minimum and maximum price excursion on every signal on every pair on every timeframe......

code can tell you the frequency of occurrence every signal on every pair on every timeframes .....

and much much more..... it would take me days to type it all.....

then..... code can take all that and select the best trade....... or it can list the future signals per pair based average expected times.....

code can make the trades itself, not recommended, or send push notifications to your smart phone.... with the mobile app you can manually make the trades......

or you can put the most important information in dashboards..... this is my preference..... that ea can be unlimited pages deep..... so just by selecting page 2, the entire layout changes to something completely different.....

a ea that is 12 pages/layouts deep might sound foolish..... until you saw those pages..... then you would shake your head in disbelief..... and once you saw the trading results, you'd start reading that mql4 manual......


i'll be opening up some private explorers to the public within a few weeks...... then you'll understand....h

hey tzamo.... most people try that also...... for me, what works best is looking to past and using lagging indicators..... by knowing the average length in pips and time, code can roughly predict the next move in pips and time..... within reason...... it gives you a hint of knowing when.....

it's the not knowing that kills most accounts.....

take a look at this chart.... caption says 'waiting on next daily zigzag'.....

now this one..... caption says 'there she is'.....

look at the eurusd daily chart in the post above.....

look at the one below.....

those charts were looking solely at the zigzag in an effort to predict the next move in time, direction and pips......

could have just as easily been the multi color tsr(30) which uses lime and red lines..... or alma, or macd or many others.....

nearly 100 of our trades closed this morning when the daily zigzag leg printed down......

will it fall further..... maybe..... probably..... but the code says the odds of success are to low for now.....

the odds of success is my main focus.....h

hey emanual and mugen..... sorry for the late reply..... have not logged in for many months..... just noticed your pm's.....

please keep in mind that ff has over 500,000 members...... and most will disagree with my style and thoughts on trading.....

that's ok.....

//-------

what works for me is trusting certain indicators..... not blind trust..... it's wise to code indicators to give us a heads up if its confidence is low...... suggesting a turning point.....

my first focus is moving averages direction....... such as.....

if the weekly tsr(89) is lime, over all the price is moving up...... my trades will lean towards longs.....

if the weekly tsr(89) is red, over all the price is moving down....... my trades will lean towards shorts.....

then i use indicators to filter the tsr, such as the charts with diamonds or arrows..... the best longs tend to be weekly bars with lime tsr, lime arrow and lime diamond.....

//------

roughly the same is done on the 1440 and 240 charts....... alma moving average color change is usually the trigger...... but it really does not matter much as to trigger..... it could be psar, fractals or any such......

it's a top down trend following approach...... the lagging nature of indicators seldom causes a problem for me.....

my lot size is usually small...... targets tend to be based on atr or the next opposing signal......

trend following during multi week trends produces exaggerated winning trades in a row streaks..... hundreds or thousands of winning trades in a row...... egotistical blindness can wipe it out quick...... be on guard......

//------

if just starting out, a 100$ account with a single trade limit per day with a target of 1$ a day would my goal..... 1% per day...... a 0.01 eurusd lot and 10 pips would do it..... 10 days..... 10%..... nobody needs to be a millionaire tomorrow.....

grains of sand add up......h

hey prince...... yes, renko charts do have value..... at least to me...... if for no other reason than to stop the clock watching......

adjusting the brick size makes the % return somewhat easier to calculate in advance..... a single eurusd 0.01 trade is 1% return on a 10 pip brick, 2% on a 20 pip brick and so on..... the bricks make the targets easier to see......

course seeing is one thing...... convincing the market of my well meant intentions is somehow slightly more difficult......h

I do agree with you...
The only thing is when there is a sl. That's approximately 2 bars so unless your working with the edge you have with those diamonds and other filters to reduce the odd sl hit, with your filters the winning percentage will far outweigh the giving back moments.

I have studied for a while now and I must say I have to agree with what you have stated here. It's one of the most precise money management options based system.
Those diamonds look pretty nice. I have several ways I enter but just a few filters. There is just a few tweaks needed and I will have myself an easier way through this all...

Hello Mr. Hayseed!! Great work! Could you share your indicator wpr cci force and mega trends? My best regards!
//-----

hey jair..... i code so much i must have dozens of computers to keep things organized.... and even then it's difficult..... odds of me finding the exact indicator is slim....

mega trends on this computer is an immense ea, not a indicator.... have i posted a mega trends indicator somewhere.....

there are 4 wpr cci force indicators on this computer..... all are probably different than the one you referred to.....

one uses the charts symbol...... the second uses a symbol of your choice to compare..... just input the desired symbol in the ''sym' option......

the idea is that in currency groups, quite often one might usually move first giving a heads up on the others...... so if we were to take all pairs and compare a particular indicators signals on a single chart, we can better see the relationship.....

likewise, some signals on an individual pair usually move first...... again, graphing all signals on a single pair in a visually meaningful manner can help.....

the examples below were just taken from my mq5 site charts.....

the nzdcad chart is comparing each of those indicators in a bar by bar manner......

the audusd chart is comparing all the symbols '3 pole butterworth filter' again on a bar by bar manner......

the knowing the relationship between indicators/pairs/time is beneficial..... esp if your average trade length is large when compared to the pips won......h

Hello Hayseed, after several hours searching for a particular indicator that works with mt4 to no avail, I found out that only you has the solution. Kindly avail to me the indicator mentioned in this link.

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...34#post3708134

It's an indicator that shows the angle on the charts irrespective of the distortion in TFs, zoom and vertical expansion/ contraction.
Please, kindly help with it.
