Hi Anne

How does a screenshot of your winnings explain your set-up?

Its great that you are doing so well and that your intention is to share with others on this forum etc.

So on that positive note:

Can you explain your actual entry criteria as
you mention your system is a little more sophisticated than just a zero cross of the Sinc Cycle and that you a are also using POSITION, VELOCITY and ACCELERATION of the indy - can you enlarge on this for ALL of us on here please?

Also what is "flatlining", as I have never come across this term?...
Hi Lawrence

Edge has already mentioned that Nitro is a momentum strategy. So go with the momentum of the SC indy. Simple as that!

Flatling was mentioned in a previous post - it is where the indy hugs the +/-1 line during a powerful trend.

Thanks Syuhmi, it is in experts. When I restarted MT4 it's like the chart is just starting afresh with only a few renco candles. All other charts and indies ie C4 etc are fine. Any ideas.

Quoting Syahmi
Put your renko script into the experts folder....NOT script folder....then drag the script into the 1min chart.... go to offline M2 chart... left click the chosen pair... bingo... you got the renko chart....

I don't have any problems like yours... when I switch on my MT4... it will continue updating.....

Cheers !

The default settings so far seem fine... anyone using the default settings if you notice repainting or you can confirm it is not repainting, even when price changes opposite the cross that just occurred, ie cross above 0.1 and then price drops.. if you can confirm on the previous bar/candle the TG sinc (with default settings) still shows the previous up cross, please do. I will do the same

thanks

Jazzman, you have done great with the settings, I appreciate it very much. I want to say that first... second, these optimized settings do look great but I have watched it repeatedly repaint a closed candle
where it showed a closed confirmed cross of the .1 level
in this case and then later changed it so it had never crossed.

I took off the signal cleaning and watched it do it again still.. so I am going back to the original settings, the default and see if those repaint the same way, just FYI.

Anne,

Capable Lady that you are, I fear you are assuming more than many of us are able to see. Many here won't know for sure what the Sinc Indy actually measures so I'm sure it would be very helpful (provided you're willing), to clarify how Momentum (Velocity, Position) are represented by the indy?.

Sure. The indy takes a stochastic then treats it with a sinc filter to enable you to vary the smoothing/phase. This lets you trade off earlier entry against a few false entries. It then takes a Fisher transform to improve the "peakiness" of the signal for cleaner entry.

Because of the way the Fisher changes the PDF is is easier to see the velocity/acceleration of the indy.

Yes agreed...Please dumb it down for people who have no knowledge of what a Sinc Indy actually is, (Velocity, Position) etc. Are you talking about TG spectrum cycle indy?

Please no cryptic posts or talking in riddles, as we are not here to crack the enigma code, just plain english would be appreciated by ALL on this thread ANNE.

The idea of sharing and teaching is to put information across in a way that people can totally understand. So it would be VERY MUCH appreciated by ALL on this thread if you explain your entry in terms that we can ALL understand.

If you don't want to share that is also ok, an no criticism, but please say so and then we know where we stand.

If you do genuinely want to share on this forum, then please map out your strategy in EASY to understand and in a non-cryprtic fashion.

You posted your winnings on your terminal saying this is my set-up!!

Please explain how anyone would see your set-up from a posting of your terminal results?

People can't help but be confused, as it is a confusing thread. Just saying go back and read it somewhere 100 pages ago is not sharing, it is avoiding.

You either want to share or not. No problem or criticism if you don't want to share. That is fine, but please just be upfront about it.

Please let people know where they stand with you, as I have seen this before on many many threads where there are people leaving cryptic clues about how they trade to build up a fan base for their own reasons and from experience they FIZZLE out after a while when people realise they are being led a merry dance!!

So to end on a positive note ANNE - what is your strategy in EASY to understand terms?

Irathi, so is the thread with your recent posts mostly unrelated to the thread subject.
This has become one of the most popular threads in the FF community and for good reason. Edge's model and the many many contributions updating it take a fair bit of concentration and understanding.
It isn't the easiest task keeping up with it all and not made any easier when there are streams of posts from yourself in the pursuit of what can only be described as some kind of vendetta. Whatever your reasons this is not the platform to air your dirty linen....


Thanks strada

Thanks - so acceleration is represented by the distance (on the chart) over which the indi travels to reach either extreme (+/- 1)?

After a lot of " hard thinking " I have realized that in order for me to contribute anything of value on this thread...I simply must have an EA.

1) Edge has one...he told us already
2) Anne has one..she posted some great results
3) Swingman...( I suspect he is a " closet EA trader)
4) Gleneagles.....nothing at all

I feel inadequate and incomplete as a trader with no EA. My inbox only gets about 10-15 mails. I have nobody to fight with on the thread and nobody begs me for source code.

Well, this about to change, my EA will be running from Tuesday next week.

It already made over 500 pips on GBPUSD alone...and this only today on 1 pair!!!!!!!!

That is over 50% account growth in just one session!!!!

It is Friday..it is weekend...no need to read negative stuff..no need to watch choppy PA...time for an early/late lunch to get into weekend mode.

Have a great weekend all and take some time to reflect on how good life can be...if you want it that way

Edit: Oops I am on 5 digit broker, I overestimated the results

There is POSITION, ie where it is relative to the 0 line. Then there is VELOCITY, ie how much it has moved in a given distance, if you like the SLOPE of the line. The ACCELERATION is how the velocity is changing, or how the SLOPE changes.

You see this effect in divergences on various indys. Hope this is clear now!!

You are doing the 1 minute entry today for these results?

I generally have traded the 1 minute before this renko/nitro

Would you please just post your basic template for this
so I can check it out on my own, and others interested...
I would greatly appreciate it.

Or describe in detail your process for these trades today
and anything we don't already have as indicators.

You can also pm me if you prefer, but would love to see please.

thanks

IF you figure out the formula.. ie trix period on 1 min based upon atr on 5 min.. then I know... absolutely, and hopefully SM would do it for us..but it CAN be done..if you figure the formula, it can be put into the sm trix to update
and set the trix period every x bars ie once an hour could be one example
based upon the 5 min atr!

It is still a bit flaky but making progress, looking at 1M TF 5-25 Trix settings based on ATR 5M. Not sure whether it is a wild goose chase but will give it a go.

Brian,

Thank you... I feel a lot better already..my ego is almost restored and I feel appreciated again.

It is just a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor to get away from all the negativity on the thread.

I am still fiddling around with the indi but it is nowhere near proven or complete to trade " real money ".

Now have a great weekend and relax..... if I find anything of value after the test, I will share it on the forum.

Golden1,
If the indicator uses (as has been reported), the Fisher Transform then it repaints.

This does not mean its a bad indicator - just that you cannot do an eyeball backtest on its results.

Does anybodx know how to call the TG-SSC with the iCustom function?

I tried:
iCustom(NULL,0,"TG-Sinc-Spectrum-Cycle",TDSSC_History,TDSSC_Bias,TDSSC_Clean,TDSSC_Length,TDSSC_Parameter,0,0);
but that doesn't work.

Thanks for your indy! I'm just wondering exactly what you mean by momentum? Do you mean we should consider the time factor of price movements? Or something else?

I have not asked for your EA or coding or anything like that?

I am not interested in your EA but just a clear concise EASY to follow understanding of the rules in current play.

Please map out your NITRO version/strategy that you are currently using.

This will enable ALL to catch up on the current MOST UP TO DATE strategy etc.

If you can map it out in EASY to follow chunks as below that would be appreciated by ALL of us here.

NO CRYPTIC RIDDLES PLEASE! NO ENIGMA CODE CRACKING TODAY JUST PLAIN AND SIMPLE RULES WOULD BE GREAT!!

What indis are you currently using?

ie:
TG sinc spectrum? What are your current settings?

What are the other indis that you use?

Do you use LWMA now?

What are your entry rules?

What is your SL rules?

What is your TP + 5 OR + 10 pips compared to your SL
ie; what is your R:R?
