do not rule out lucks effect..... it deserves considerable credit......

i believe we are within 700 pips maximum of the next 1000 in a row wining streak..... depending on account size, lot size and max number of open trades at a single time allowed by the broker, it could be 10 times that.....

it must be well thought out in advance..... almost pip by pip..... or at least hour by hour.....

when every one is long......h

{quote}in other words, 3 indicators ....... over the last 10 bars...... 5 thru 10080 timeframes..... must have minimum 210 reds.....
a question about the code… do
you utilize iBarShift for these? The reason I ask is, i believe if you are on the 5minute charts and say scan for alma. By the 240 scan, you will automatically record 10 reds on a sell signal due to the shift, correct? Wouldn’t you instead want to know when the 240 signal is active on the 5 minute chart? Or, basically not utilizing iBarShift? I am at work so cannot code this out to see it, but for this I think it would give you rhe 240 indicator color but by the (minute bar), perhaps removing repainting.

yes, use ibarshift...... the current signal will be the one displayed on the far right edge depending on the timeframe the indicator is on.....

yes, there is the potential for it to remove/repaint higher timeframes ...... but for that to occur the lower timeframes signals should have changed well before.....

ibarshift occasionally gives me grief..... you have pointed out in the past where i might be using the 0 bar while another time the 1 bar.....

by keeping tabs on the upcoming signal changes, you can be better prepared for those repaints......

the chart below is cramped because of this laptops small size...... it monitors the bbands and psar...... the audusd daily is 1 pip from the bbands....

we should be well prepared in advance for changes.....h

if I may ask…

The count and the average… is that the last 10 candles added up for the 8 timeframes (looks like you go up to 43200 on that view)?

if so, how do you calculate the average of a running 10-bar total like that?

if not, what exactly is the count/average represent on this view?

that's just the count and average per timeframe per pair using each timeframes total bars..... in the manner we normally do..... no ibarshift.....

the 10 bar deal mentioned earlier was just a suggestion to preselect/scan pairs meeting your criteria..... so if you wanted something in a strong trend to buy, you might scan for 200 out of 220 being lime...... this way your looking at what might be most favorable.......

imagine if 219 out of 220 are lime and the 1440 zigzag is red..... such situations exist..... kinda like shootin fish in a barrel.....

speakin of which.....h

Just for sake of conversation, how do you determine the wave you’re shorting will stop with the 240 or continue and pull the 1440 with the move?

Put another way, every up leg on a 1440 has bearish corrections. How do you decide if that’s the one that breaks the camels back or is simply, as mentioned above, a mere bearish correction in the prevailing bullish trend?


some might say “you’re trading against the trend”… I may have said that a long time ago even… although I do recall a post from a while ago… “I rarely trade against the 1440” can’t find the post but I swear I’ve read that in your posts of yesteryear.

if your talking about the chfjpy, without a doubt i am trading against the trend....... which i rarely do.....

why now...... we are talking about the jpy which is prone to intervention..... many jpy pairs are at multi year highs.....

that tweet minutes ago about the boj buying again has me about 400 in the hole on an account that was 200$ from passing the challenge..... it happens......

but i felt, and still do, they will intervene to strengthen the yen within a few hundred pips....

i'm reasonably sure i could double any account with myfundedfx by years end with only a few losses...... trading only jpy pairs.....

we never know if the correction will lead to more..... it's an odds thing...... we add things up and roll the dice.....

i did not know 13 years ago the usdjpy would go from 78 to 148...... but it did.....

i added things up...... and rolled the dice......h

entered phase 2 this morning......

all jpy pairs 240 zigzag legs are now down..... dailys are up offering some comfort...... at this point, it might be be best to wait for a 60 or 240 up leg to reenter ....... otherwise you risk getting hung up with trades that could have been entered at better prices.....

don't ride a good horse into the ground......h

only those common 7 shown in that report of this mornings trades....

my lot size should be 1 mini lot.... basket trading all 7 might not be the best habit.... sometimes upcoming news might favor leaving out a pair, like the gbp this morning...... i left it out 3 times because of the news.....

all 7 are clearly in a well defined uptrend..... might be next month before that changes......

want to have at least 4 myfundfx 100k accounts by then.....

will have losses.... not many......

this is just a risky countertrend judgment call......h

pardon my ignorance

is that your trigger to end open trades (hidden trade levels currently?)

or to begin the shorts? And if this is correct, is this a trigger line to simply open a grid, or is this a sort of
global variable that once tripped activates a “whack all rallies sort of strategy?

I’ve considered implementing something like that to add some manual controls on an EA that allow for automation but also don’t require me to be present to send every grid of pending orders.

whack rallies in a downtrend.... so really only the audusd and nzdusd would qualify.....

the others were just my estimation of enough is enough...... or time to sell..... gold and silver also..... silver is becoming my favorite......

considerable part of today was probably short covering and confusion..... 2 hours after the news the volume fell drastically.....

in my view, the usd news today was good for the dollar..... in no way bad..... those pairs should have fell, at least in my mind......

the excess of buyers backed off around 10.....

don't recall opening any new jpy trades today..... closed some from last night and yesterday......

will start back on jpy next week and layoff the usd..... have 4 challeges running, don't think that account had any usd trades.....

i was selling in this one...... just need 2500 more to put this account on a paying basis...... it's phase 2 now......h
