'rope' is just a sudden big move. It looks obvious in hindsight but it should be very difficult and dangerous (chasing) to catch in real-time IMHO... slingshot is better approach (for details, visit Alien's thread) i think.

v2vBoni, per your msg, here are two indicators:
1) Stoc_Spud - does not actually do an MTF call, but does allow you to plot the curve on the current chart for non-chart time-frames. Just remember, the points on the plot for an alternate time do not represent the time on the chart, ie, if you are looking at an mn1 plot on an m15 chart, the bar 2 for the plot is 2+ months ago versus the 30+ minutes ago on the chart.
2) Stoc_Spud_MTF - makes the iCustom call for MTF. I've never been a fan of that as it has a lot of overhead and this gives the msg "indicator is too slow, please re-write the indicator" when doing MTF. So, this may be more of a template than anything else.

I wasn't sure what you wanted to do with the vertical lines, but I put some in. Hope this all helps.

Thanks Lukeb... I'll look into your code and study it. As always, you have a superb advance coding.

... I asked your help because of what you've done with the ergonomic mtf cci indicator lately. I wanted to mimic that kind of optional mtf behavior within the sub-window only.

Thank you very much!!!

Spudfyre's legacy will continue to live on because of this Spud's Stochastic Thread Theory MTF version you've made.


Again, thanks a lot!

I remember Spudfyre, he was a great trader.
His Stochastic-based systems are very complex and rich in nuances ,they must be studied well.
Do you only enter when you see the golden thread?

PS , for me this is one of his most fascinating systems : https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...he-forex-trend?

Banzai in post 93 speaks of Spudfire's multistoch being set on the chart rather than as Spudfire set below chart as normally done, this intrigued me so I tried Banzai's version only to find it wouldn't compile without error so I did the google thing coming up with MLaden's updated version. It's here if you want to try it out. It can be utilised as Spudfire did with setting the indicator more than once. I tried this myself (it works) but I found it made my chart to busy so I've settled on using MLaden's on chart, Spudfire's below as this screenshot shows

the original indicator was created by Mladen as well as the updated version

For anyone whose still following this thread, let me share another possible way that you can trade with this approach. Basically, we’ll be using the currency indices to match momentum strength against momentum weakness, to catch big moves. To access currency index charts, you can go to a website like mataf (its free to use) and you can get access to each currency index. Note that the trading view currency index charts have data limitations for Asian / London sessions. On teh currency index charts, you can then add the various stochastic indicators and then you just want to wait for good looking strength v weakness momentum signals.

I'll share a chart example of what I mean. In this example, the AUD is showing weakness and the USD is showing strength. This is a nice looking setup to trade these currencies against one another. We open up the AUDUSD chart and we enter a sell trade once we see everything aligning on the currency index charts. Stops go behind some kind of structure, in a logical position (remember that the momentum is with us) and then we can just take profits in a way that aligns with our own preferences. And whilst you wouldn’t have been able to take every pip in this move, this trade example can help to show you just how powerful this idea can be.

In summary, the idea is to trade momentum strength against momentum weakness and we are using multiple timeframes to give us a better feel of the true story. Also, this is just an idea - I haven't back tested this approach in any great detail and I am not making any claims to how effective this will be. I just wanted to share the idea, just in case it can help.

... 2. From "1" the consolidation into a rope is quick and then the threads are combed again. Now the big problem with this trade is that we had a large upward spike right after the rope formed. However, if we followed the theory and stayed in the trade we would have been alright to the end. This illustrates the importance of following a trade to the end as use the stochastic patterns as your guide. If we are studying the stochastics we should be thinking of an entry right after the peak and price spike. We have a nicely combed stochastic...
I need some help with that statement.
According to the rules as I understand them, enter at the first peak (labeled 1).
Stating that I should enter after the price spike is like I somehow should be able to predict that price spike.

Under point 5 it's stated that entering at point 1 was too early aka wrong.
Under point 7 it's stated that entering on a string peak is conservative and a fishnet getting combed is a better entry.

So what am I missing? What signs where there to conclude 1 wasn't the right entry point because a price spike was to be expected?

There's simply no way to predict the second peak. The only thing that could have been used to delay entry is not having the perfect score of 285 on the stochastics. Perhaps the entry could have occurred with a smaller size, with a rise after the peak since there is a divergence. At least that's how I would have traded it.
Is there anyone using this strategy on the daily? What do you think about determining the trend on the weekly and looking for entry points in progress on the daily?

thank you for the info.

Is this not the same as the good old strength meters we have seen here? Or do I get it wrong?
