carl, thanks for your work. Could you just quickly say why you took your last short. Thanks for the screen shot but what has just happened. Is it the anchor that has just been dislodged?

Can't wait for the alerts by the way.

I noticed that the USDCAD was in slot 3 or 4 last night. This morning it had lost a few slots (down), so just as the stock markets opened this morning, I shorted.

No big revelation. Just staying with the shorts.

There is a lot of money being moved around with the financial crisis hitting countries all over the world. Banks are hoarding cash. Even the metals/commodities are being hit hard. Seems investors are selling everything to get into cash to wait out this calamity. Deflation seems inevitable. This mess could be nasty for a while.

In my opinion this country has spent its way into oblivion. We (as a country) are going to have to get back into the manufacturing sector quickly. We cannot continue to be a consumer nation. Our spending is done (I know mine is). I hate politics with a passion, but I'm afraid if the Dems take power, things are going to get worse, due to the policy of taxing the small businesses (raising taxes for >$250K). The Dems say that the middle-class is the engine of this economy. True - only if you want to continue the "consumer nation" theme. That will stifle job growth. If you want to create jobs you are going to have to CUT taxes on everybody. Class warfare does not cut it in this economic atmosphere. Unfortunately I don't see the Republicans doing much better. Lower taxes is a start, but we need a solution, not a band-aid. A complete tax overhaul, say, to the FairTax, might prove fruitfull. That would bring manufacturing back to this country quickly.

Sorry for my quasi-political rant. Washington really pi$$e$ me off. We are getting screwed big time.

Ok, things seem to be running smoothly. I'll be working on custom alerts/audible, and the T101 alerts for the pair magnets/repel.

I also want to revamp the data collection, to make it more user friendly for excel import.

Those two will be the most complicated, but I think are needed the most.

Carl

PS. Nice short this morning.

This is some awesome work, thanks alot

Audible alerts are next on my list.

I will also have pre-canned alerts for which Julius has posted to the main thread about how pairs repel each other, or stay close to each other.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, I think its post #1742.

As I have mentioned before, if you only see a 1970 date, your MT4 does not have a historical file for all the pairs. You must open a daily chart of all the pairs for use by the T101 methodology, to initiate historical download. That is just how they wrote MT4. MT4 is very quirky and inconsistent when it comes to historical data.

I have even noticed that with my Alpari MT4, I had to go through the motions of editing the parameters of the Data Save indicator (there is only the one), close it (do not need to change anything), then the MT4 downloaded more historical data. It took about 5 minutes, then I restarted the Monitor and everything worked fine.

Give it a shot.

Carl
seemed OK already. Thanks a lot.
First I stopped the monitor program.
then, deleted the "Data Save indicator" from the MT4 chart.
deleted all those *.csv file from \experts\files directory,
in MT4 I loaded all the 14 pair daily charts.
then scroll each chart all way back to the earliest available data.
Finally I pull and attach the "Data Save indicator" to a MT4 chart, and run the monitor program.

By the way, for "Data Save indicator", do I need to do any setting, for example, there are 2 things to select, see attached picture, what are they? Sorry, my pc is Chinese version.

hi crodizilla, do you fully understand how to trade the repel pairs? Could you explain what exactly what will happens when we heard the alerts?

thanks in advance.

for those here that have a IA account oppened (with trades openned in the correct time) and Orest indicator and Crodizila software: do you see any different with all three? I only have the Orest indicator by now. I am interested to know to use the -72 and +72 explained by ES Trader.

I cannot comment on the metrics you mention.

I do not use the Orest indicator. Sorry.

The repel/magnet pairs information is in a previous post of mine and in the T101 thread.

TickJob,
Those two could be checked, but I don't think it matter. You shouldn't need to change any settings.

As long as you see the .csv files, to include 10k files for daily data, and the _RT.csv files for the real-time quotes, you are good to go.

That is a great way to get MT4 to load the historical data.

You can trade with whoever you want, but if you want to take advantage of the profit protection EA(s), 2ProtectAccount and miniAcctProtect, you'll have to be on an MT4 trading platform.

Carl,

I appreciate what you have done so far with the IA Monitor.

I was wondering if you could create something to execute the trades faster than the usual F9 built-in order screen?

If a series of scripts which calculate the lot size, based on a risk value, for BUY and SELL orders and for close all, close longs, close shorts.
So that at a click of the mouse on a console button the execution would take place.

Then have the keyboard have a script mapped to each button.

  1. BUY
  2. BUY X% risk
  3. SELL
  4. SELL X% risk
  5. CLOSE ALL

What do you think?

Sounds cool. But I think that is beyond the scope of this T101 methodology simulator. I have a lot to do before I get to that. I have scripts written for MT4 that will execute trades from external programs such as this, but, I'm not near that point with this program yet.

Interesting, idea. I can even map for the optimized baskets...

I'll definitely put that on the list...

I don't see why not. I use Alpari and trade with FXCM, for now. Price quotes are close enough, especially when you are trading baskets.

Carl great job with the Software by the way!

I was wondering though if the arrow colors could be a bit darker in color? Think they would be easier to distinguish. A bit blinding this light.

Thanks very much for everything with this software etc.,!

Yup, I've changed the arrow colors to a darker, more suitable for your viewing pleasure... color.

The new version will have audible alerts, customized by you, the user. So far I've got new "change of anchor" alert complete. Working on others...

Get your microphones ready so you can record your custom alerts(in .wav), in your own soothing voices.

Will post soon.

Carl
