{quote} Share indicators and template Stop the mystery, share the secrets
It's an image I took from CP. I know the indicators and likely also the setting, but I won't share any settings (even though they are not that important here). However, it has been already revealed out there in the many pages that CP used MACDs and zero-lag MACDs.

Just open a chart and add 3 MACDs.

  1. MACD(fast = x period, slow = y period)
  2. MACD(fast = z period, slow = y period)
  3. MACD(fast = z period, slow = x period)

with z < x < y

{quote} If this doesn’t make sense to you, that’s totally fine—freedom of thought and speech should always be held in the highest regard. But just because you don’t see value in something doesn’t mean it can’t be useful to others. For example, this observation tells me that the light blue line is split to analyze the fast and slow moving averages it’s derived from separately. Why could that be useful? Precisely for the reason mentioned: when the light blue MACD flattens, it could mean that the price is consolidating and moving sideways. Or it could...
Literally no one see value in this, lol.

"It could mean", "or it could indicate", "I do think", "they help", "it may also give an idea". Imagine if medicine people talked like this, lol. I hope you see that speculative trading is a quantitative discipline and highly technical, because of that it requires a certain type of mindset. The way you talk reminds me of a child looking at clouds.
Are you able to speak objectively? You typed a whole paragraph saying absolutely nothing. I renew my invitation to share some QUANTITATIVE informations about your findings, something that can be translated in computer code and that produces the same outcome for everyone (scientific method, they teach this in 3th grade).

I guess we'll never see something objective from you Epiphanic, also called blob, also called rapidscalper, also called crucial point.

That's a whole lot of assumptions from someone who insists on quantitative results. Dude, you have absolutely no clue. I could out-code you in my sleep if I felt like it. If I can be bothered, I might share a tiny fraction of what I’ve analyzed so far; maybe over the weekend, if I find the time. Oh, and by the way, I don’t use Python. I prefer other languages.

What I just can’t wrap my head around is how you of all people feel entitled to demand something like this from anyone, especially considering that you haven’t posted anything of the sort in this forum yourself. Where are your objective contributions?

Unlike you, I actually pointed out an observation. What readers make of it is entirely up to them. Why do you think that’s not perfectly legitimate; after all, we’re in a trading discussion thread.

LOL this is exactly how a person not able to code would talk.
It's not about who code better, even a 10 year old can learn how to code, who cares who code better (in this endeavor at least, we're not building a rocket), as long as you're able to do some data analysis it's good!

We are all on the edge of our seat!!! Just share now or directly reply on the weekend.. It's cringe talking like this, either share or not share, do not say "I might share in a couple of days if blabla".
Have you ever see a scientist saying: "well folks... yeah I'll share my findings on sunday if I find some time". LOL

So... from the moment you show up here acting like you're on the top of a mountain dropping little pieces of knowledge to us poor mortals, then it's you actually that you put yourself in a position where inevitably people will ask things. You want to teach? Good, then expect questions. You don't want to teach? Ok, why did you even post here at all?
If you don't want to teach and you want to "share ideas/gold nuggets" then you're actually here to boost your ego, because if you want to truly help others then you don't put random ideas that only you can understand, if you want to truly help others you'll try to help others (DUH) by explaining things properly.

Quote
Where are your objective contributions?
I don't want to teach, I don't have anything to teach and if I'll ever want to help others I'll open a youtube channel or a blog and post there from time to time. A forum like this is too impersonal because everyone can post without having to be accountable for the validity of the things posted.
Anyway, I posted a paper about a real, proven, scientific trading strategy used by many hedge funds... didn't you read that? You completely ignored it, maybe you're allergic to real science since how many times you dodged my requests for some objectivity on your posts. Or maybe you think hidden patterns of your MACD or hidden things in a candlestick are more profitable than a full-fledged trading system that is based on a well-known stilized fact and that uses short rate pricing models to exploit that?

Quote

No, you just said vague things without showing even 1byte of data to back up what you said. What readers make of your observations is literally nothing since they point to nothing.

Everything is legit but not everything is useful.

I don't know 100% if you're CP or not (I think yes), also I don't know if you are truly profitable or not, but either way this is NOT the right way to help people or to gain respect from people or to be remembered by people. I'm not attacking you personally, please understand this. I'm just saying that it would be WAY more useful for the discussion, and for everyone, if you apply the scientific method to what you share.

Rapidscalper is not CP

Epiphanic is not CP

There's only one CP on this forum and he's long gone.
Last I heard CP was working on AI, years ago after leaving.

Understanding the edge within a single candlestick can help pinpoint higher probability trades. The 95% rule of price closing above or below the open is powerful for forecasting movement. Capturing a portion of the 1-hour candle range, like 22.82 pips, can offer consistent profit opportunities.

Well good luck. Anyway, I know CP real name and I can assure you that you're wasting your time. I posses material that was not shared on these threads. And I can assure you that it's everything worthless when put to sensible testing. Want to prove me otherwise? Share some python code or any language...

{quote} And how exactly do you know CP's real name?
In the early days CP claimed he got hacked, it sounded far-fetched and nobody believed him. Years later several members claimed they have documents from CP that wasn't shared on the forums. They formed a group and opened a chatroom to help each other out to decipher whatever documents they have, but then one person started scamming the group asking for money. It then went downhill from there. I'm assuming those documents had his real name on it (whether it was true or not, everything sound sketchy).

I did not obtained his real name from "unpublished" documents. He published his real name himself, by accident. Probably he doesn't even know to this day were he published it, lol

Also, I have the "unpublished" documents (I think I have all of them, but I don't know). The only reason I did not published them is because they are a useless mountain of nothing and I don't want other poor souls to waste years of their life on this. I know many traders that wasted decades of their lives studying CP without any tangible results. Buying a crappy online order flow course from someone honest (i.e. do your due diligence, there are only a few legit course sellers) would be a better time investment, assuming you really want to be an indipendent trader.

If you are young, you want to be a trader and you want to make good money, then go to university and try to break into some prop trading firm (I do not mean ftmo or other scams). Way way way way better than wasting time here.

One last thing, stop messaging me asking for CP name. I'll not reveal it.

Well that's great. lol

Wait a second. I do remember that CP was very adamant and it still says it on his profile that he can only be found here on FF and nowhere else.

So wherever you found that published name, that's very questionable.
How would you know that published document is legit?
