What, duplicate orders? Yes, this is one thing I've been working on, and I think I have it fixed.

Oh, I'm just about ready to post Ding_Dong_Dazz_V1.3_T3 ... which covers a lot of little details that needed to be fixed. Of course I can't say I got everything but, I feel a lot more confident about it now than I did.

As soon as I post it we can start talking about it, as well as which indicator we want to use.

thank you, well, this one almost done then... you're a really brilliant

i'm waiting new release then to do testing... this ea almost perfect

what do you think about stochastic filter boundary, that will work with heiken aishi...
and the different value preset for up and down, right now is equal=3... i suggest different value to lower the risk...

about indicator, let's we talk together which one will be the best things to work with...

It's about Ding_Dong_Dazz...

After several days of testing Ding_Dong_Duo_v.1.2 and Ding_Dong_Dazz, I've found that we should try to change the Preset value.

Here what i found:
1. You have set a default Preset value so precisely...i think i should give you an extra for you! Great job, friend!

2. I have look so carefully for all the tradings made by Ding_Dong and where the market moves...and i got a conclusion.
If we use the default Preset value, our Ding_Dong will severe some losses.

If we change the default Preset value, in my observation: the Preset value for uptrend was very good (Preset +3 pips)...it means that Ding_Dong will wait the price to up for 3 pips before going to open a new position after Take Profit.
But, what is disturbing me is the Preset value when the trend was reverse, i mean if we opened position and then we hitted Stop Loss, Ding Dong will open a new position after 3 pips adjustment.
I think we should change the Preset value for the downtrend (Preset 3 pips) to Preset 5 pips, 7 pips, or maybe 10 pips, in order to avoid hitting the second Stop Loss.
Do you get what i mean here, ecTrade?

I really believe that you could calculate more cautiously about this issue....i could do nothing less than giving a suggestion (5, 7 or even 10 pips), what do you think the best one?


3. I'm agree with Tulipevierge about using Stochastic as our 1st indicators, then cross check the signal given by Stochastic with Heiken Ashi.
I've tested what Tulipevierge has posted before...

Quote
Tulipevierge:
about stochastic, it give us a boundary range to do trading like this :
use normal level at stochastic 20/80.

under 20 < over sold

over 80> over bought

when it's under 20 or upper 80, it mostly the time when there is reversal or swing... that is the place we put an order.

let see this picture, small stochastic TF=15, we can see it when there is reversal... it means, just open position at <20 or >80.

when small TF even it is OB/OS can get more higher or more lower the price action, because small TF still at the boundary...

I think i could re-explain it simpler...

If we use Stochastic (just a Stoch with default settings), we could use it as a signal for Ding_Dong to open a position, either a Buy or a Sell position.

If the Stoch hit 20 or below, that's the signal to Open Buy Position.
Before the Stoch hit 80, that's the signal to Open Sell Position.

And, we could also used Heiken Ashi to confirmed Ding_Dong to take position, because this Heiken was showed us bigger frame about what happened to the currency we were trading...was it uptrend or downtrend.

If Heiken Ashi showed Blue color, the Buy signal confirmed.
If Heiken Ashi showed Red color, the Sell signal confirmed.

For the anticipation of bad situation...
If the Stoch signaled to Buy, but Heiken showed Red: Not Confirmed to Trade.
And vice versa, if the Stoch signaled to Sell, but Heiken showed Blue" Not Confirmed to Trade too.


With this 2 indicators: Stoch and Heiken, we could make Ding_Dong better.

That's what i wanted to tell you, ecTrade...

Hope my suggestion worked best for the goodness of this Ding_Dong

hi all.... ectrade and juaniie...

about stoch filter time frame =30 minute=default just to minimize the risk and to see the reversal

when stoch range <20 = trading allowed to buy and follow it buy till the trend reach 80
when stoch range > 80 =trading allowed to sell when there is reversall and follow it to sell until it reach 20.

i hope you understand it.

that is only boundary, it is same like trading hours... example only i will only trade from 7 am to 5 pm

there is some case that < 20 will go lower and >80 will go higher, but that is usually happened at the really higher TF over 1 hour....

at the small time frame like 30 minutes or under usually there is pull back reverse...

i hope if the number 20/80 is variabel when we use :
20/80= low risk (default)
30/70= high risk
it's up the user....

and the time frame stochastic is variable too depends user which Time frame will be use for the filter. (default is 30)

ec trade, about the heiken ashi, you know which one is more better with the time frame or not ? what do you think ?

if use heiken aishi TF maybe one hour as default, but it can be a variable input too...

i don't know which one is the best for this one heiken aishi.... with time frame or not because i'am not a programmer.

thank you.

hi ectrade,

this is the second secret filter price action in ding dong to do trading when news come out, so we don't need ff cal indicator for dingdong.... that makes this ea survive with the news....

could you explain, the number on that please....

what is the function of P_Lag = 12 and R_Lead = 16 and R_lag= 60, ecTrade?

i am still little confuse with the number, just can't explain it, but i want to understand it more clear about this number things.

i know 3, is for up and down the order. 12, 16, 60 still a little bit confuse.

thx

Wow, you've got a lot of ideas there! Maybe I can help, time permitting.
hi ectrade,

well, i hope you don't forget about this time permitting....
- start and end trading
- hybernate the EA things for the safety....

i don't know if we still need it or not because 2 times losses = off but i believe it's important for ranging market, because i want to turn it off when there is no range daily trading (so small).

i think after the stochastic is done, we better to see profit management things to maximize profit things.... than to looking other indicator, because maybe that would be enough screening to trade with the trend.... and see the test, if there is bug or not and waiting to complete the profit management : about move SL to target profit to avoid open position again and let the profit running.

oh about stochastic is just to see reversal trend.

Okay, here it is. It's still a test version (T3) but, it's getting there ...

I did several things. I fixed order duplication problem, as already stated. I believe I fixed order modification problem that automatically adjusts for slippage. Will let tulipevierge check that one out. I believe I have options 5 and 6 working now (not 100% sure), which I am now calling "Dazz Flip" (instead of "Trio"). Also created "Classic Flip" based upon same idea which are Classic options 3 and 4. Also created "Reset" and "Suspend" features in interface. Reset is automatic (although it can be set to 0 and bypassed) and is supposed to clear any open trade(s) and clear buffers when switching between modes. It doesn't work 100%, but does helps. If you are just setting EA up to place trades and leave it alone, the reset probably isn't necessary.

Have also been working on "Dazz Plus," and incorporated most of it into EA, but it still doesn't quite work. I just need to find a way to get the "signal" to update correctly.

Oh, speaking of Stochastic indicators, I created an option (at the bottom of interface), where you can choose between the Stochastic indicator and the Heiken Ashi. This is fairly easy to do (so long as I can isolate the right signals) and, if we wanted to, we can create a whole list of indicator options.

Oh well, have fun!

Also, make sure you use these indicator files with this version of EA. Otherwise it probably won't work.

ETA: Had to modify Stochastic indicator ... appears to work now. Also created Option 3 to get indicators to work at same time.

Hi

I've been following this thread since the beginning - I still can't get it to take a trade.

Is it possible for someone to explain what the heck
----- Buy = 1, 3, 5, Sell = 2, 4, 6 ----- means???

DAZZ_1_6 means?

Indicator_0_1?

----- Set Presets & Resets -----mean?

And, the Miscellaneous Options?

I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!!!

Have you downloaded the latest version?

If you want to place a trade immediately, try entering either 1 thru 4 in Classic_1_4 option, or 1 or 2 in Classic_1_2 option (in previous version). Oh, don't worry about any number left in the Dazz_1_6 field, as this (when set to "1") is a default and is overridden when you select either from Classic_1_4 or Dazz_Plus_1_2.

Also, there's a lead and a lag value (3 pips and 12 pips) that is preset, so it won't place any trades until either of these are reached. If you leave everything set as is, with Dazz_1_6 Option 1 set as default, and click "Okay," you can see how this works with the numbers in parenthesis to the right of the "Target." Of course you can only see this in the most current version, I believe. Neither does it appear to reset automatically (although it continues to place trades) after the first trade. But, first things first ...

Now, if you wish to use an indicator (selectable at the bottom) with whatever option you choose, you enter "1" in the indicator field. Of course not all versions (the "Flip" versions) are not set up to use an indicator. So, you can specify an Indicator if you like but, it won't do anything differently than what it does without it.

Well, apparently the Stochastic indicator doesn't work. I thought I isolated the signal but, maybe not? I can still generate a test signal and the EA will see that but, not when the actual alarm sounds. The Heiken Ashi indicator works though so, until I get it fixed, you can still use that.

What a hard work here, my friends!

ecTrade just finished Dazz T3 and still working to improve it.
Well done!

And i believe that Tulipevierge also work hard to test it...

What a nice environment here!


Ehm, here what i forgot to mention in my last post:

Quoting tulipevierge

about stoch filter time frame =30 minute=default just to minimize the risk and to see the reversal
Hi, ecTrade my friend!

I think i forgot this Time Frame of Stochastic...
Thanks to Tulipevierge for posting that Stochastic filter Time Frame is M30 (30 minutes).

Hope you could combine Stochastic and Heiken Ashi like what i posted before...

Probably you should not isolated one of the indicators' signal but used it to combine/work together as a confirmation one another.
Maybe like this:

Stoch level is 20 or less | Heiken Ashi shows Blue = Buy
Stoch level is 80 or more | Heiken Ashi shows Red = Sell
Stoch level is 20 or less | Heiken Ashi shows Red = Stay away
Stoch level is 80 or more | Heiken Ashi shows Blue = Stay away


I think it is better to make these 2 indicators to work together and not isolated one of them.
What do you think, ecTrade???

hi ectrade,

thank you for the newest version...

i will to try this one with stochastic, but it look likes now dingdong has 2 different indicator separate, because it is already done, let see first to test it then...

i have an other ea, it has option like this : ( ea has a choice of what indicator will use including a stochastic, and second is a filter = it use stochastic as a filter )

UseStochFilter = false
extern int stoch filter TF = 30

extern double sto_Filter_up/short = 80
extern double sto_Filter_down/long = 20

stochastic filter reverse =true/false



i hope a filter, will look like time permiting.

about this feature :
separator2="----- Reset / Close = 1, Suspend = 1 -----";
extern int Reset_1_0=1,Suspend_0_1=0;

is it suspend use to hybernate like what i am thinking?

when there is spike.... =gap up or gap down with big pips that sometimes happened, it will off >> close all order open, i know it will hit stop loss and after that closing, no more opening and suspend the ea until a few hours.

the safety thing is the important things to avoid big drawdown after we have a winning...

thx



thx

  • Feb 10, 2010 10:06pm Feb 10, 2010 10:06pm
hi ec,

at this setup 1,0,0, 1 and use stochastic=1

SL and TP is moving off follow price action, look like it open a lot and when there is pull back will closing the order.

i think there is rule from some broker about scalping too, there is distance time how many seconds between opening and to close the order...

even, if it's working, it can not work for use at many brokers and i believe there is no room for trading because closing order before it hit Stop Loss.

which one more better do you think because we are ready to take a loss when there is opening and that opening hit SL and maximize only the profit things with a good management.

that is a risk a bussiness and more room to give EA to trading.

What do you think, ecTrade???
Sounds like a plan. Unfortunately I don't know enough about indicators that I know exactly what I'm doing. In fact I just tried a third option where both indicators are called up at the same time but, it's not nearly as easy as I thought, as it was with adding a separate option for each indicator.

If, however, these are the same four basic signals we've been working with (when the indicator arrows show up), then I may be able to work with that. Does that make sense to you?

Which colored arrow corresponds to which condition in other words? Does the green (Stoch) arrow correspond to 20 and the red to 80?

hi ec trade :

the rule will be like this :

i hope i can explain this, heiken aishi is a smooth candle stick to give us more better direction that price will be heading toward north or south.

we can not see this direction with normal candle stick

we will not take a trade that does not follow the heiken aishi direction when we jump in....


HIGH RISK option: time frame stochastic 30 minutes(for default)

just jump in buy when stochastic under 20, go buy, buy until it reach 80 and reverse to sell after it reach 80
just jump in sell when stochastic over 80, go sell, sell until it reach 20 and reverse to buy after it reach 20

RULE FOR BUY AND SELL with stochastic with lower RISK screening with the heiken aishi indicaator

the rule for buy when first time jumping to the market :

- let say time TF heiken aishi = 60 minute
- TF stochastic = 30 minute

when we see the arrow heiken aishi at 60 minute go green= up
we only take a trade buy, and that opening buy will be start when stochastic time frame 30 minute is under 20... and will always buy from under 20 to 80, and when reach 80, it reverse to sell, only doing sell, always sell until it reach 20...
when it reach 20, we reverse to buy again...

rule to sell when first time jump in: visa versa....

when we see the arrow heiken aishi at 60 minute go red= down
we only take a trade sell, and that opening sell will be start when stochastic time frame 30 minute is over 80... and will always sell from under 80 to 20, and when reach 20, it reverse to buy, only doing buy, always buy until it reach 80...
when it reach 80, we reverse to sell again...


you can see it clearly and see the picture if you open the chart....

open the chart at Time frame 30 minutes and put stochastic indicator and heiken aishi...you will understand what i mean, about this reversal.

the stochastic level to know when is the right time to start opening and changing direction from buy to sell....and from sell to buy...

the choice of time frame>> the time frame can be adjust by user to do high risk or lower risk option that style their trading :
if heiken aishi= 60 = it is more safety than use small time frame like 1, 5, 15 and 30=more screening and less opening.

if use stochastic 30 = it is more safety than use small time frame, 1, 5,15. more screening and less opening....

thx

Okay, I'm not sure what you're talking about, just yet. However, I did incorporate both indicators the way I said. Also, both indicators still seem operable when used separately. Please take a look at the way I set it up and tell me if that's correct, Okay?

Also, if there is any time frame variation between indicators, how does this work? Can it be set up with the indicators themselves or, do you have to place them on a separate chart, or what?

And yes, I uploaded the EA once again so, you will have to re-download it in order to check it.

  • Feb 11, 2010 12:32am Feb 11, 2010 12:32am
hi ectrade,

with the stochastic it works fine too like heiken aishi, but the feature to closing order when it reverse before it hit the SL makes a lot of small losses within a few seconds,

that situation will make this EA have no range for the trading....

instead of this maybe user just put small SL... or do optional to use or not this closing order when it reverse because we pay the spread to open position and only small winning pips.

it works really good, except the moving SL and TP...
