T101 external IA Monitor

  • Oct 13, 2008 9:23pm Oct 13, 2008 9:23pm
Myself from Malaysia , first of all sorry for my bad english .
I've been following up silently and trying on the demo .
Finally I hv the guts to go for live .
Bad experience before that turns into nitemare when I loose a lot .

I've updated to version 17b and last nite the IA monitor shows
green over rule the reds . So I put up LONG on a few selected pairs .
Did not go for basket BUY because not enough money and my broker did
not support all the 14 pairs .
I choose the top 3 and the bottom 3 to trades - 1-2-3 & 12-13-14 .
I open 2 windows - last week and this week with reference to oct-13 .
Notice the position change , so I'm confident to go for live trades .

Carl - it seems you are working on a multiple reference day .
This will definitely help and ease us to look more closely and notice the change - change in pair position and determine the strength of the pair .
Hope this could be done on non-IBFX soon .
Thank you for all the good work , sharing of your wonderful program that
lead us to make pips .

I still do not know - when is the best time to exit as to maximise the pips .
I use TF H4 to confirm for any reversal in trend + Carl monitor .
Anybody have a better idea on how to go about with the EXIT ?

hndymann,

It would be "relatively" easier. But, easier said than done. There is no way I could explain this properly, but, the program would be 10 times more complicated than it is now, if I tried to put it all into one. I am using a direct programming method which allows quick development times. And as you can see, relatively small program size. All pairs are "hard-wired" into the algorithms for fast execution and simple developement.

But, as the program gets bigger, I have to maintain 2 programs, which increase in size.

If I went the "all in one" route, I'm afraid it would take me many months to accomplish what my goal is.

Thanks for all your concerns.
I'll continue on and stay true to the T101 methodology.
Keep me on the straight and narrow.

Thank you for all your praises.
If you learn from this software, don't hesitate to tell me. It makes me feel good, and makes me want to make the software better.

Carl

Would it be easier for you to make an option in the program to switch between broker pairs rather than make two separate versions?

Dear Carl,

Thanks for the latest IBFX version. This is top notch stuff.

Just to try and keep your morale up i thought i'd post to first say thanks and second to tell you that i have been having some pretty consistent wins with this method.

I have been trading anchor changes on the monitor opened less than a day ago. i.e i ussually trade the London session (based in the u.k.) and look at the monitor opened on the date before. As i understand it this will reference from 12:00 pm (midnight).

I dont like to watch the screen all day and so your alerts are going to be very welcome indeed. Just on that point, is there a way of triggering an e-mail at all? I feel so cheeky asking this after all your hard work but this would be the icing on the cake for me. I have an iphone with email delivery and also run vnc remote desktop on it- which incidentely works like a dream - and with e-mail delivery would allow me to be truly free, and also help with waiting for the bigger set ups knowing that i would never miss them.

I think its going to take a while to really understand whas going on with this system, one of the biggest problems i have is monitoring the drawdown on the account. Returning home to find some pips in the bank is great but how much did i risk to get that?

I am used to trading chart patterns - pinbars especially - and I can always analyse the trade afterwards and work out the risk reward ratio and wether I exited at a good spot or left pips on the table. I find this post-trade analysis to be vitally important as to me, as a system is only truely worth trading if you can define and manage the risk properly.

I think I've just got to get used to trading without a chart, I just find it difficult to dream up some arbitrary number for a stoploss instead of using the more traditional method of using areas of support and resistance.

Maybe using a chart is possible, i seem to remember someone posting that really all we are trading with the basket is EUR/JPY, perhaps i could use this chart to somehow define a stoploss?

Sorry to ramble on - just wanted to say thanks really, and keep up the good work.

Regards Paul.

You aren't going to see anything on the chart. Its job is to export data to your /experts/files directory, nothing more.

I can't promise anything on email alerts. To tell you the truth, its not on the top of my list. But, I will definitely look into it. This method really should be traded "fully manually", as per Julius. The only automatic thing would be to use the account protect/take profit script.

Since I'm not using MS "Bloatware" Visual Studio, I would have to write those routines from scratch.

Hey Crodzilla,

I like the continued improvements! Provides an easy avenue for a lot of what-if analysis. One request I would like to make is in the next version when you log the anchor changes would you also please log their pip value at the time of the change?

For example: 10-14-2008 09:49:03 New -anchor:GBPUSD -116

Thanks for your efforts.

I'm with you. My new active log, will log all pairs pip values, etc.
And I'll make it easy to import to excel via csv files.

I'm like you... I'm an analyzer at heart.

Thanks for the response Carl...

I have been getting more success out of basket trading using this program that you have created, you are an absolute legend Carl.

It would be great if we could have manual reset option.

We would not want to reset it (unless we use the reset button) UNLESS i.e a BUY is dislodged by a SELL and then starts moving in the opposite direction.

Once again, thank you Carl, this is better than the other indicator for this system... great work... keep it up!

Thanks,
Vip

IBFX Version 18 released.

The Multi-Timeframe version is ready. Test it please.

How to use... should be self explanitory.

The multi-timeframe window can be opened and closed by your command, but the results and direction arrows will still be updated. So even if you close the window and open it later, your settings and arrows are updated behind the scenes.

I want to make sure this works before I add alarms to all timeframes. And then I'll make the Original Pairs version.

I have modeled this Multi-Timeframe window around how Julius uses his spreadsheet. The first 3 columns you can chose by day. The 4th column you can choose by 4hr bar. The 5th column is by 1hr bar. If I am mistaken, please let me know.

Have fun! Be profitable.

I'm not trying to be brash, but that means you did something wrong; put it in the wrong directory, etc. It can't find the quote data.

I'm running version 18 right now, just fine.

I'm running Vista.

When I ran MT4 in normal mode, it didn't make any csv files. So I hade to run it in admin mode. THen it made the csv files.

Also tried to run the monitor in Admin mode, didn't work.

It could be an admin/Vista problem though.
