I am still not having luck with the Trading Siganls arrows showing up.
I havent any idea what happened in your chart. The code is verry short and without complicated tricks.

Maybe can tell us an other user if the program works, this can help us

Is now the DashBoard working?

OK, and you mean that for other pairs the arrows are showing?!
In this case, you can try to restart the indicator. It coud be that the use of the NLaverage as iCustom() indicator bring problems.

A new version for the DashBoard indicator, with "Reverse Signals".
You can show the signals for any TimeFrames.

@ SwingMan;

It would be nice to have an indicator that would show us how much exposure we have in each pair just like the Oanda platform. E.g. If I have a GBPUSD buy entry @ 1.9870 and EURUSD buy entry @ 1.5425 using 1 mini lot/10,000 unit trade then we have the following exposure:

______|_PAIR_|_UNITS_|_USD_____
LONG | GBP | 10,000 | $19,865.50
LONG | EUR | 10,000 | $15,426.00
SHORT | USD | 35,304 | $35,304.00

PS: Not an important request. Just a would be nice idea.

Maybe this is what you are looking for.

GOOD JOB, brother !!

Two matters:

1. Maybe it is better to give every version of the Dashboard a different number. I got lost a bit and deleted them al, to download this latest one with the reversals.
2. I have not been able to get the arrows on the charts, the rest works fine. So basically in the same situation with Damonl.

Your English is super, nothing to worry about.

- I will try to renumber the versions, the only problem for me is that I make every hour a new version...

- I can not explain why the indis dont functioning. The same question: have you the arrows in DashBoard and no in TrendIndicator?

Just an idea, but did you guys download the Damon smTradingSignals_v1 from post #487?

By the way. Good job here. SwingMan posted a link in another board, that brought me here. Its still a little too much for me, but I´m trying to catch up.

Hi Damon,

my best compliments 4 this 3d that is growing in exponential way(if it does it deserves it)

Im watching it since a couple of weeks , i ve gone through it from 1st to last post but - it must depend upon my scarse comprehension of english- i still miss some things.

So i dare to ask u a question (one from hundred i would ask) but if u are busy i'll appreciate everyone's answer.

That is the question:

I set a trade with a stop buy on GU (live) yesterday (24.03.2008) with standard SL. The trade was based on green ST dot, yellow nonlagma and eventual piercing of setup bar. (EES i'd say - the only 1 i think is very clear to me till now))
In the night the trade was triggered and at the moment is gaining good pips.
Well if the trend is going to go on i think i would place new trade orders but..i dont know what s the criterium i have to follow now on.
Maybe have i to put a new order every night a pip over last day bar until a sign of trend inversion?

Thanx in advance 4 ur answer and i hope i have explained my thinking and my doubts with clearness though my poor english.


Thank u again 4 ur dedication and everything-

Franco


BTW as i live in Italy and i usually cant wait for 00,00 gmt i'm using the bar situation at 11,00 gmt adding in my order 10 pips + 1 to the high of last bar. Can it be an acceptable solution? Any better way?

I appreciate your help and like the iExposure indicator, but it's not exact. Take a look at the attached screen capture of Oanda's exposure tab.

Hey CV....I have an idea....

Since it seems like you have still some basic questions that might also stem around lagauge barriers I think this is the best way I can help you.

Why not use a demo account to start and just upload one or two charts every night with your understanding about what you should do. If you don't know what to do I will tell you if any signals were generated.

After a few weeks of this I think that you will get the hang of it.

So...Take a few steps and I will help you

Hello...

I just wanted to clarify something for anyone trading this strategy. You do not need to use large lot sizes to be successful with ATP.

If you have an account with 10K in it this means that for EU you would only be risking $0.25 per pip. Then you should increase by $.01 for every additional $400 in icreased equity.

This means that when you equity reaches $10,400, you would then risk .26 for EU lots on a mini account equating to $0.26 per pip for any new trade and vice versa if your equity decreased back down to 10K.

Please search the thread for my conversion to lot size for the more volitile pairs.

If any questions, please don't hesitate to ask

(they both require entering an EES-like trade that needs to be triggered before any other trades can be placed. The only difference I can see now is NLRT requires an ST dot while an NLCT does not.

Hello CV....

Based on the chart above you would already be long from yesterday's NLRT. All I see for today is a DPTT (Daily Pips Trend Trade). You should do a search this thread for that trade style and you can read about it.

Don't forget to put in your Trailing Stop and close the order the first day that you are in profit.



Opssss...almost forgot about the TAMB trade that should be plced beneath the close of the bar on 3/24/08. You can also read about that trade on this thread as well
