as for frequency....... today, within reason, you can predict next weeks trades....... both the number and profit or loss...... providing it is a system based on math and followed..... obviously the more pairs traded the more accurate your prediction will be...... my estimate would be 100 trades a day..... 1 loss.....h
now ...... 5 days...... 500 trades....... 1 loss.......
//------
mixing and matching is a negative for me at times..... confusion annoys me.....
beginning next week 1 account will trade forex, 1 gold, 1 silver and last platinum......
have never traded platinum so my lot size there will begin at the 0.01 level.......h

daily zigzags still standin on most...... just sayin......
Is this about the time where you'd start throwing .01's at it on it's way up? Or am I shorting in front of a long train?

thoughts? Am I way over thinking it?
yes to both.....
pick a single condition you will not trade against..... code the condition to paint the bars, lime buy, red sell, or put it in histogram form..... put it, and it alone, on a chart........ mark the signal changes.....
drop down 1 timeframe..... the over bought in a downtrend and over sold in a uptrend areas should be clear.... they should align with the lower time frames zigzag.....h

{quote} Can you imagine that I was so close to this level of simplicity 3 years ago? Then I learned to code.... lol
we call that takin the scenic route....... you are far better off taking the long way home.....
we are heading to a family reunion in missouri...... it will take us 3 days just to cross arkansas..... or, we can jump on i30 and be there in 5 hours.....
you learn far more taking the scenic route.....
//------
ok then..... so i assume , even though you did not mention it, you have your chosen indication you will not trade against.....
put it in mtf fashion..... weekly down to 5 minute.... 7 lines..... weekly being 3, daily being 2.8, 4 hour being 2.6 and so on......
put it on a 5 minute chart.....
now chose your second mandatory condition..... do the same...... except, weekly being -3, daily being -2.8, 4 hour beig 2.6 and so on......
so your making a sandwich.....
now chose your third mandatory condition.....
//------
do you really need to see the price bars to know what's going on...... the chart below is coded so you can't see the price bars, prices, timeframe or even the pair.....
you can only see what a expert advisor sees....... your 3 conditions coded as mentioned....
in each chart , are you a buyer, seller or neither...... it's not a trick question.....
both charts are 5 minute ....... how many zigzag legs are there..... yes you can answer that......
in the first chart, do you see any reason not to buy the red diamonds, after the zigzag prints down...... which would be reversing that lower timeframes signal......
in the second chart, do you see any reason for me not to sell the lime diamonds, after the zigzag prints up...... which would be reversing that lower timeframes signal.....
//------
code it..... keep it simple..... keep it small.....h

For number of ZZ Legs, in the first image - I am thinking 5 total? maybe 6? - Not sure if those breif Red Diamonds constintute a ZZ Leg. Based on what I recall for 5 Minute ZZ - I think only the first two groups of red diamonds would constitute a correction ZZ leg, and thus that would give a total of 5 ZZ with long one at the end.
And you're right. This is really simple. I just need to pick my indicators. I really like Alma for a primary indicator because I think it closely tracks the larger ZZ Legs, although perhaps its settings could be slowed down a bit.

yes..... i kinda messed things up with that third indicator..... here it is again on a different pair..... the lower one is inverted so the two 5 minutes are adjacent to each other......
those are 2 indicators in mtf fashion..... just like we do.... except that it is coded to remove everything else..... pair, timeframe, dates, prices and such...... so all you and i can see is the red or lime diamonds..... that's to force peyton to visualize the chart in her mind.....
the indicators are not important..... the top might be if the qqe is above or below the 50..... the bottom might be if the tsr is red or green.....
the questions.....
1.... do you really need to see the price bars to know whether to buy or sell......
2.... how many zigzag legs are there..... it's a 5 minute chart...., you answered that correctly.....
3...... in the chart below, do you see any reason i should not sell every one of these "imagined" zigzag up legs.....
4.... do you see any reason i should not sell the highs of each lime diamond if possible.....
//------
just to make it clearer.....
remember, it's a 5 minute ......
how many alma buy signals on that chart..... do you see any reason i should not sell every alma buy signal on that chart.....
how many jjma buy signals on that chart..... do you see any reason i should not sell every jjma buy signal on that chart.....

see it in your mind...... easy answers.......h

took me long enough. I coded as you mentioned, but none of the charts give me the obvious trades that I can see in your example of post 136. I should never expect the market to be easy to read though.
Top grouping is TSR20 (just because I have been toying with that)
middle grouping (bottom of top indy window) is SAR
Bottom indicator is alma.
I do see some strong bullish opportunities to the right half of the chart where I would "buy every red diamond".... but I feel like I am missing something because I don't need all 3 indicators to see that opportunity. By the time it becomes obvious to me almost any of the 5 minute signals from any indicator would have helped me.
I think I followed you okay about finding your 1440 indicator, dropping to 240 for another indicator, and finally dropping to an execution time frame to enter... However, maybe its the simplicity between my ears - I lose track once I have all time frames on the window. For example, the two inside rows of the top window are the 5-minute time frame. What I think I should be doing based on what you said a few posts ago is look at the bottom M5 and then to the above M15 (multi-timeframe analysis)... however, I think I just lose where I am altogether.
Perhaps on the top indicator I should only have the 1440 and up, and on the bottom indicator only have the 60 and 240? and then below to enter?

maybe it's me that's missing something...... cause i need more...... much more......
that looks good...... without even looking close at the pair or timeframe, there were at least half a dozen buys.....
it's best to scan first for what you want the chart to be......
in other words, 3 indicators ....... over the last 10 bars...... 5 thru 10080 timeframes..... must have minimum 210 reds.....
here is a current right now live example ....
shorted this yesterday.... still short.....h

same happens to me.... change it up...... arrange it differently......
you think about the code, then let the code think for you.... let it alert you when your attention is needed......
the expert advisor below has a sell button on top left...... it has determined only sells allowed...... if it felt only buys, that button would be lime and buy..... if it felt wishy washy, the stronger would be on the left and weaker on right.....
it has done the hard part for me....
if there is a new 240 qqe sell signal and 240 zigzag is up, it makes me feel more confident..... if 1440 zigzag up also, far better.....
put your thoughts into the code..... there's a mozillion ways to display it......
find the one that is clearest for you.....h
