I have been reading all of the DIBS and Inside Bar threads. The Inside Bar idea is simple enough. It seems like traders are trying to improve something that works. DIBS pays off more times than not. There is no need to add anything. Money management is the key. In Vegas, it's win or lose. All or nothing. If I keep my losses in the 7 - 10 pip range, at the end of the session, I come out ahead. That's all. Thanks to all that have shared.

Here's a trade on the horizon:

Looks much like a TRO **** for Dummies to me. Are we allowed to mention him here?
I often wish that I could understand just what his charts mean. Perhaps you can tell us Shiva?

Hi Phreddy, I looked around a bit and... yes its Tro's indicator. Which I believe is partially commercial or "donation ware".

The indicators show what is happening to the currency pairs.

The upper indicator shows the pair and whether or not there is a pending or current inside bar. It shows the short trigger (ST), long trigger (LT), stop loss (SL) and the profit/loss (PL) for the last inside bar. The arrow shows if price is above or below the session open price. The arrowhead indicates short or long trade. Get Ready means price is within the inside bar range.

The lower indicator shows how many pips price is above/below the last inside bar for that time period for the last X bars. I check the last 10 bars.

OK, I will try and indicate where you might find it, without incuring the wrath of the FF police.
You know who wrote it you know what it might be called. Google a selection from that and see what you come up with.

I think this is a paid-for indicator.

Let's not do that!

It's just too bad that exchanging (some) trading information on a trading forum on the information highway is not allowed. Who wins when the free flow is shut down?

Cancell Short DIBS in A Bull Market.

...So... I should call my Borker and ask him {cause i'm a newb @ this s#it & it is getting rather confusing to me} "Should I go Long OR Sell Short"?

Age Old I know but here's a way:

{psss... don't tell anyone else this 'cause i hope to patent & sell it }
Anything that has ..Periods should be a User Input.
My Defaults are 45; 100; & 200

(CALCULATION)
STTrendResrch1:= Close-LLV(Low,STPeriods);
STTrendResrch2:= HHV(High,STPeriods)-Close;
STTUp...
Did you see this? A multi meter based on your formula.

It is indeed, Shiva, "Donation ware" but the Multi Meter is not! It is one of his freebees! Prior to Bemac's modification, of course.

Having read through all of the DIBS postings.....at least the good ones. I have a few thoughts

I would be most interested to know if the people who had back tested the system had build in the whole concept of the hot hand, time factor (first 9 to 10 hours of the day) as well as piling on positions.

If you follow the concept of using a trailing stop of say a 10 MA/20 MA/whatever MA - its actually pretty easy to see how PC screens his DIBs trades beyond time entry and playing the hot hand. It is the key to building to on to existing positions.

Look forward to reading about less nonsense about DIBS
