{quote} Thank you heaps @Jonhathan123. I am sure others can replicate similar performance if they put in the reps. I want to ask which products, currency pairs, or commodities you trade? - I mainly trade XAU, NAS, EUR, BTC but I am also now trading futures but mainly concentrate on NQ & Gold futures. What time of day do you usually trade? - I do not have any set time to trade. I just go into the charts when the alerts trigger or when I have time from work and look for trades. I can only trade Asian session and first half of London. Plenty of setups...
I’m curious, do you still stick with the 1:2 take-profit ratio like in the beginning, or do you now exit trades more flexibly depending on indicators?

Hello All,

Latest test version 0.9.
As Emmanuel suggested, we are now moving towards a true dashboard that brings together TMS(r) information.
In this version, I'm integrating the calculation of a score to determine a pre-sell/sell recommendation.

I'm already seeing a shift:
- the weight of the RSO isn't enough. In my opinion, to have a strong recommendation, we should have at least five RSO indicators of the same color combined with x HMA vs. EMA crossovers.
- bug if score = 100 (STRONG BUY/SELL vs BUY/SELL).

I'm waiting for your feedback on this topic to move forward.

Hello everyone and especially you, RobinHood. A huge thank you to you, RobinHood, for all the knowledge you have shared over the years. I have been following this thread quietly for years and, although I have no prior trading experience, I have learned a great deal from everything shared here. Now that I have decided to start trading with real money, I finally created an account so I can take the next step and begin collaborating. Your latest system, which you call RSO, really caught my attention, so I coded it in Pine Script and built an RSO indicator...
Hi,

You're welcome, and welcome to the thread.

You asked:

Does this logic correctly capture the rules of your RSO system?

Yes, although I never use it by itself. I always use it in conjunction with other indicators that support what the RSO is telling me.

For the higher timeframes, I sometimes feel that using D Slow levels of 70 for buy and 30 for sell might be causing me to miss some signals. Do you have any suggestions (such as alternative thresholds like 60/40, syncing only certain timeframes, or a different approach) to capture more valid signals without adding too much noise?

No, and I don't proclaim that 70 and 30 are the perfect combination to use because I don't know what the perfect combination is, but 70-30 is just what I finally settled on using.

Finally, just to confirm: regarding your RoadMap concept, is it correct that it basically uses EMA 21 (high/close/low) and EMA 3 (close), and that the key is waiting for EMA 3 to separate from EMA 21 to read price action?

Yes "sometimes", BUT...I find that there is no one perfect setting to use with the RoadMap for every instrument, but I typically use the 18, 21, 25, or 34 ema's for all 3 lengths (high/close/low). For trading stocks, my preference now is the 25 ema. Slower than the 18 and faster than the 34, that's why.

Ciao a tutti, ultima versione di test 0.9. Come suggerito da Emmanuel, ci stiamo muovendo verso una vera e propria dashboard che riunisce le informazioni TMS(r). In questa versione, sto integrando il calcolo di un punteggio per determinare una raccomandazione di pre-vendita/vendita. Vedo già un cambiamento: - il peso dell'RSO non è sufficiente. A mio parere, per avere una raccomandazione forte, dovremmo avere almeno cinque indicatori RSO dello stesso colore combinati con x crossover HMA vs. EMA. - bug se punteggio = 100 (ACQUISTO/VENDI FORTE vs....
Excellent.
Thanks for your work.
Just a small tip. The list of pairs on the left side of the dashboard should also be displayed on the right side to make it quicker to find the right pair.
Thanks again.

Thanks RobinHood, your input really helped me better understand the logic and how RSO and RoadMap work together.

I’m coding your indicator and testing different thresholds and timeframes to find what fits best. Your comments gave me some great ideas to improve it.

Thanks again for the help.

Just curious.
How many mql4 indicators have you converted to mql5 successfully ?

Another small contribution to this method, as one of the key components is the shift of slope of the HMA, here are two versions of the HMA for MT4, and MT5 that ping an alert once per bar when the slope changes. This doesn't include the price cross like the Pinescript one does, but it at least gets you looking at the chart if you're trading intraday.

It pings once per bar, and so as soon as it changes once, it will send an alert, and not again until the next bar forms. Put it on your charts and get a feel for how it behaves and you'll see what I mean.

I based these off of some readily available HMA code bases, so use at your own risk.

Enjoy!

A MT5 version would be very welcome. This way, we could day trade stocks (via CFDs) in a similar way to Robinhood.

Or does anyone know of a CFD broker with MT4 that offers a wide range of stocks?

Another thought: wouldn’t it be much better to have an EA that works like a scanner? One that scans thousands of stocks and only signals the ones that meet the desired criteria.

I find this absolutely disappointing and actually insulting to @straasha . He should be commended for his continued (and unselfish) contribution to this thread, sharing valuable and FREE indicator.

People requesting for the code to only provide to an AI is another level of insult. If AI could do it, you could actually build on your own.

Yes, AI can indeed code your idea but it is a long process of trial and error.

Because even before RH's post about MTF trend alignment visuals, I had that in place already built from an AI for TradingVIEW. Screenshot attached.

I felt happy inside when RH shared similar idea.

Why don't you offer to pay him to convert it to MT5? Less work for you and @straasha's work also get recognized and valued.

Just FYI, you can't just copy paste a code and expect AI to convert it one to one.
