Okay, I created an option called "Slip_Adjust_1_2" at bottom of the interface so you can disable this.

If you enter "1" it disables it and will not reset (as most variables do when you open EA) until you enter "2" to enable it. That way you will only have to do this once, and won't have to fuss around with it all the time.

The "0" means leave it alone, unless you want to disable it. Otherwise it will stay that way (disabled) until you actually enable it.

So, by default it is "enabled."

But I don't want it set up as a default ... not just yet anyway. Plus you only have to do it once, so you don't have to remember to do anything.

Renko?
I think it's almost the same with my strategy...but i think Renko using Renko chart and there's a little differences from my strategy.

I also remember that 'there is nothing new under the sun'.
Whatever we found, it's just a reshape or reinvent of something from the past.
That's the same as my strategy, i knew that this strategy wasn't new and fresh, but i developed from the idea of Guerilla Warfare.

With the help of my friends: ecTrade, Tulipevierge, and maybe you, cspip, i think we could stand together, work together to make this Ding_Dong EA developed further more.

@ecTrade: Still on fire to develop Ding_Dong, right?
Let us just try to use 2 indicators: Stoch and Heiken Ashi, and try to make them as a filter for Ding_Dong to trade, my friend...

@Tulipevierge: Still spirited to test Ding_Dong, right?

@cspip: want to share any of your ideas to improve Ding_Dong? Or you just follow the Renko?

I was thinking that the idea (your orgininal one) was good and thought I'd seen it somewhere before (Renko). Nothing wrong with that, at least you also came up with the same good idea! and the great work/coding done by ectrade.

I think renko might be abit better as you can see what has happened, as you can see the bricks.

And I was thinking you said only to buy, but I read somewhere that all traders sell or short quicker than they do to buy or go long, that the psychology bit. So selling only, you might get more trends.

Or buying and selling only if renko above or below 21ema white line..... or 34ema...etc..

Well, there are still a few hours left to test, in case anyone is interested.

Quoting juannie
Hope you could combine Stochastic and Heiken Ashi like what i posted before...
Quote
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???
Okay, basically this is the way I have it setup now. There are no Buy or Sells unless both indicators say Buy or Sell. And, if one says Buy and the other says Sell or, vice versa, then you are prohibited from placing any trades. This appears to be what you're asking for anyway and, it makes sense.

Oh, notice the numbers in parenthesis next to the Buy or Sell sign in the Status Display after you select indicator mode (especially in Option 3). Both should say either "1" to indicate Buy or "2" to indicate Sell. If not, all you get is a "Null" comment and you are not allowed to place any trades.

Aside from a couple of other mods (including "Slippage Adjust" disable), this is about the only thing I've updated, although I modified the indicators a bit, so you might want to be sure and download these.

Have fun!

Dazz_T4 arrived!
Godspeed.
What a speedy pace here.
Well done, ecTrade!
Thank you for accomodating my ideas in Dazz_T4!




I think it's the time for us to test it.
Is that right, Tulipevierge and cspip?


@cspip:
Thanks for sharing something about Renko Trade. Maybe Renko could be a third indicators for Ding_Dong and will make it more profitable.
We could see the development later.
But first, let us test this Dazz_T4 together.

Viva Dazz_T4!

hi,
wow, there is t4, i hope it will be working for the best one we're lookin for...when combine together... nice jobs ectrade... awesome..

i have a bad connection now, hope will be fine on monday... i downloaded t4 already....

is it t4 will closing the position when it show agree different different?

example :
both agree buy : meaning take position buy... until there is reverse on both indicator to sell... then what? will it be closing the position and doing sell to follow it? or waiting till it hit the stop loss ? or when it hit stop loss still doing buy until it hit 2 times stop loss...?

i can't wait on monday how it works

No, I think it's supposed to wait until the current trade closes, whether you sustain a profit, a loss or, it's the second loss in a row. So, basically you have to wait until this happens.

Although I thought it would be nice to close early, either immediately if it's at or above the break even point or, modify the TP value so it closes at the break even point or, say 5 points beyond the current price if the break even point is beyond that. That way you don't have to wait forever for the trade to close or, if you take a loss (if it starts to edge in the opposite direction) you don't have to take a full loss.

Or, maybe a trailing stop would be nice here?

In fact I already tried something similar to this, but it wasn't working right (kept opening and closing orders one after the other at break even point) so I put it on the shelf for now. Maybe it's time to try again?

hi all,

about renko, maybe i read it before but i forgot about it... but i think don't mix with dingdong because ec trade do the best can get a signal cross from stochastic... it's perfect i believe.

what am i thinking right now after heiken aishi and stochastic can work together, maybe just take a little time to finish this ea...

i hope it will work the best... let see in the test before move to the conclusion, and just waiting ectrade to finish dazz plus, because this feature look like really optimize the ea since 5/6 it is done already...

we don't know yet, maybe it's already almost the best.

since the slippage have no problem can disable it... or maybe can work at different broker because since only me have this problem to have moving SL and TP.

by the way i can't understand until you explain that things....thank you for the explanation about preset and reset, i know how it works now...

i am thinking a lot how will it work when there is change the direction or false signal....

1. let it hit the stop loss when we lose position because some cases there is wrong signal, they agree and later it does not continue all together only give false signal...
2. do take profit management things, like move to break even when position already in profit>> i think this is the best to see, it is false signal or not....

i believe after finish the dazz plus... we only do profit management things to optimize number 5 and 6 and dazz pluss...

how about this ectrade, juannie?

yes, i agree to wait until the current trade closes, because some there is false signal.... the stochastic pull back or heiken ashi change.

well, you trying the best things, i don't mind to try it too ectrade...
you know the best things to do... either profit management or other things.

i believe it will works heiken ashi signal and stochastic crossing...

hi ectrade.

i am trying to see how this t4 arrow signal heiken aishi and stochastic crossing signal matching at different time frame from 1 minute to 1 hours.

i check it because
i don't know it will work base on Time frame we attach the ea or not??

it will working great...must be working. i think it's the best dingdong now the only things to do either doing for profit management or put more bigger SL depends what time frame we see.

yes, it is the best of it now... did you check it too? put the heiken aishi and stoch cross together at one chart ec? cool...

Yes, it appears to be working on the EA side but, I didn't get a chance to verify that the Stochastic signals work. I didn't have enough time to forward test it yesterday.

Neither should it make any difference, so long as you attach both indicators to the same chart as the EA. At least I'm pretty sure.

No, I don't specifically know which time frames the EA's are supposed to work. I do know that both work within a 15 minute time frame, which is where I normally do my testing and trading. Also, it may be possible to set one indicator up in one time frame and the other up in another time frame ... I don't know?

ok, since i believe it will work both signal....

i am trying to math base on the average movement spread pips for the range of the day like euro/us.

it's around 160-220 pips....
it is base on the worse cases: all hit SL....
if it hit SL 2 times=24 loss pips, it open again at at - 60 pips and hit 2 times losses=24 , 24+24 = 48 pips+60 movement =108 pipsx2=216 pips range the day, so all the total losses is 48x2=96 pips in one day...

i think that is the worse case in one day losses....

it can be more losses when it win one times and hit SL 2 times... or win one times and loses one times and it happened all the time like circle...

so is it suspend feature base on 2x losses in row? or how many times pips we losses after count winning-losses? and how it will active again, do we have do manual closing the chart and attach again the ea?

i believe it never happened just thingking to prevent the worse things...

especially when there is gap up and gap down when we have position that is different direction....there is no indicaator we can trust because indicator is base on price action first then it will follow.... we trust the indicator only because we think base on physology that will guide us what happened to the next future that is unpredictable....

thx...

Yeah!

Great job, my friend ecTrade!


Stochastic and Heiken Ashi could now assist Ding_Dong to reap profits for us.


What we need here is just test Dazz T4 in Monday for maybe 2-3 days and look what will happen.

Another ideas for development:
1. Profit Management for Ding_Dong, so that it won't reap too many losses compare to profits. Maybe we could set: 100 pips per day.
2. Time Scheduling for Ding_Dong to trade or not to trade. This is one of risk management, because we know we should not trade 24/5, because there's a time when we better not to trade.

But for now, have a great week end, ecTrade!
Yo've complete a great work this week.
Enjoy your week end, have a rest and we just wait to test it on Monday.


I'm sure Tulipevierge really excited too and can't wait to test this Ding_Dong_Dazz_T4!

Happy week end, ecTrade and Tulipevierge, and also cspip!

Okay guys, I just added something else. It shouldn't affect anything else (except for NULL indicator) so I'm not going to change the rev level just yet.

What I've done is add an indicator default option, Set_as_Default_0_1 which, after you select an indicator using Indicator_1_3, if you set it to "1," it sets this indicator as a default which, will stay that way until you change it ... by setting Indicator_1_3 to "0" and setting Set_as_Default_0_1 to "1" again.

There's also a null override option, Override_Null_0_1 which, when you set it to "1," allows you to begin trading immediately and bypass the NULL indicator ... in case you missed the indicator signal or, want to begin trading regardless. It's also a one time deal and, although it doesn't matter with Options 1 or 2 (one indicator by itself), it does with Option 3 (both indicators together) and it will revert back to NULL, as soon as the indicator signals don't match up.

Of course you should be able to do this later (if you want), by opening the EA properties window and reelecting this (if it isn't already) and clicking "OK." At the same time I haven't had a chance to test this yet (Null Override feature specifically), so I can't be certain that it works.

On top of all this, I created an alarm that sounds every time you open the EA and one of the defaults has changed ... that is, to serve as a reminder. You also have the option to shut off the alarm too, if you like.

Oh, you can check this (the alarm and messages) just by opening the EA and selecting which properties you want and clicking "OK."

ETA: Alert wasn't working properly, plus added "Close Early" feature with disable option.

hehe... of course i'am so excited, thank you for ectrade doing all of this thing become reality now

yes, i agree :
1. with 2 setting of suspend base on 2 times losses and base on how many pips we lose : default is 100 pips, but we can change it by our self how many pips our risk we will take it....100 pips is good number about half of the average range movement currency/day...
2. start and end trading, can base on that and set up how many hours trading with random hours make it hard to change their spread...

ectrade do more a lot new feature with new release, that is really great

happy good sunday, and happy valentine and gong xi fa cai, all of you

Okay, I have modified what I was working on before. I was having problems getting the alert to work correctly, plus I added some other things to the alert. I also added the "Close Early" feature (mentioned below) and the option to disable it as well. I found some errors in the code when checking it, which may have been why it wasn't working before. It appeared to be working okay when I was backtesting it though.

As for the "Override Null" feature, I'm still not sure that it works. Will have to check when the market opens and I can forward test it. So, here is the link to the download again.
