Indicators development for T101's not very simple method

hey hazelj...... sounds like you have your hands full right now, but if things straighten out and you have the time, i have a favor to ask....... reguarding the t101 system...... not the picture below.....h

hey hayseed, I'm here.. did you want to just PM me your question/s?

hey hazelj..... even though i don't post much out side the programing section, i read alot....... you seem to be keeping this deal alive.....

i'm writing another ea..... do not need any indicators or rules but was wondering if you could post a screen shot similar to mine in the prior post...... of your demo's trades at the moment the trades are place....

like empori and banna have posted ...... and like the one here below......


i had written a ea for this thing years ago a couple days after julis first posted the idea ..... kinda lost interest quick due to all the nonsense back then..... the current group seems to be far better organized now.......


if ya have the time and don't mind..... thanks......h

well these would be real trades I take but when I do take them for real, i will post them. I just use the basketbars on chart version 1.5 and semafors. that's it. i will post shots as soon as i trade

hey hazelj..... i thought you were running a demo.... please don't post your real trades....

but if you don't mind, approx how many trades are you opening and closing a day.....h

yes those wont be posted. the only way you'll see anything is through mt4stats or something.

I only trade about 1-2 baskets a week. i just stay in the trend trade.

zznbrm,

thanks.

Can u pl point me to the documentation which deals with or explain all the user input variables in the script e.g.

estrPair0, etc. (if this is for custom baskets, why are there only 7 pairs provided for?)
eblnInvert0, etc.
eblnDataFixMode
eblnDataFixTF

thanks again.

zz,

I loaded your script on my chart with instructions on, followed those, and when script was done and history completed, I put it on GBPJPY M1 chart again (this time with instructions off, and M1 offline basket chart opened since it had to be for me to drop script on online GBPJPY chart), and it looks like I'm missing fonts? I was wondering what font all those g's should be?

Thanks,

Don

Webdings

If you can't find Webdings font for Apple, you can remove the data grid by setting the eblnDisplayGrid user input to false.

zz,

Thanks so much. As a prepress technician, I must remove most fonts from my system and use customer fonts vs. my system fonts. Knowing which font allows me to just put in that font and other minimum fonts. BTW, Apple Mac computer, but Windows is running virtualized as if Mac wasn't there, although really running alongside/within Mac OS X. So really we can just talk about Windows as if Mac wasn't running.

BTW, locked in some profit on M5 offline chart. Using Semafors and got in BuyAll after last bottom Semafor (it was a bottom Semafor 1). Up now $243/243 pips in profit (trading 1 mini lot each pair) with 121 locked. Edit: 10 minutes later and now 335 up and 231 locked. Don't plan on getting out unless a. profit-locking is hit, or b. top Semafor 3 then lower low. The retrace will probably take me out using profit locked, and after kicking me out will proceed to top Semafor 3 after a bottom Semafor 1 or 2 is made first.

BTW, I'm putting my profit-locking EA on an online chart, since no comments show up on offline chart. Are EAs supposed to work on the offline charts, or should they be written to use indicators on offline charts, but actually placed on an online chart? (this is way I've gotten around this problem before, when I used Renko).

Edit: Profit-locking didn't work even when on online chart. Wierd. It either says Off-quotes or Offline on MBT demo now that I want to close trades. I tell ya, their demo is for the f'n birds - consistently the most useless MT4 demo I've ever used. That's alright, top Semafor 3 has shown up, and I'm about to call my broker and tell them once again their demo is crap, and that I want the trades closed. up over 460 pips now. Actually, I'll get the phone number ready and be calling when a low on current bar is lower than previous bar. Anyways, complained to MBT about their demo server and got told the same BS that I always get told. Bottom line: They don't care about demo. If they did, they would f with it during trading hours, but only during maintenance time. I was able to close trades for 450-500 pips profit. Not bad for the morning. Edit: If someone is still looking at the chart, they see a top Semafor 3 on the current bar. What does this mean? Semafor 3 repainted, a higher high was reached, so I could have stayed in long and still making money. Until a new high is NOT reached (until the next top Semafor does NOT turn into a Semafor 3), this is a long trade. After that, it is a short trade.

Regards,

Don

Ok, a nice easy fix for you then...we like those!


Awesome!


Yeah, EAs on offline charts are a little tricky.

For your profit-taking EA, you can (should?) certainly continue running on an online chart since it really has no nothing to do with the Basket offline chart.

I can update the script to "enable" EAs to be run against the Basket offline charts. Let me know if you would like to continue down this path.

finally got the script working. it was the live feed....yikes but i will be trading soon. citi seems to work good also. pretty much the same candles.

waiting to go long here in a few on h4...

Yes I am waiting too to go long, may be today or tomorrow, I will wait patiently for it to happen. the reward will be BIG.

kos

yep, still waiting! but you are correct. the rewrad for waiting this long trade will be real nice

kos, sorry for the confusion I have no idea why it happens. its forexfactory and it's scam control i guess but everytime i put a quote in a post and it comes from my cell phone, it gets marked as scam automatically. i wish they wouldnt do that. it makes it look bad but what can i do but remove the quote, which is what I did. im thinking it does this because it cant see my phones IP address

if you look at GBPJPY H1 or EURJPY H1 or offline chart H1, you can see that we have a double bottom, and recently higher low. this was/is botton formation for a while. award /risk here is very high if you long and put stoploss just before the last low.

already did long yesterday, profits was first reached 915 pips, and down to 715 pips locked and closed all. then re-entry long last night, still hold.

@ kos

no hard feelings towards anyone here.you're one of the better traders here and we need that from you . i refer a few people to your post for ideas.

i wonder what twee can tell us why that word gets inserted automatically. anyways all cleared up now so back to T101

so my charts are still telling me a little sideways although like you see you could have a scalp like entry and locked in pips. great job finimej!

Hazelj80,
while I am waiting for the real trend to be established, my partner has actually scalped the basket for close to +270 pips today with two quick baskets scalping.

I will be waiting for the breakout on 4HRS, may be 2morrow

kos

Actually, I looked on the basket and see almost nothing but selling this week, but the BuysVsSells on the basket chart shows almost nothing but Buys!?!? So I put BuysVsSells on regular chart and Sells are in control still and have been all week.

So what Jawahn and myself were seeing both Sells and Buys on BuysVsSells as below 0, this is not the case if using BuysVsSells on an ONLINE chart.

So bottom line: I would STRONGLY recommend people NOT use my indicators on offline charts. Now that offline charts are available, AND because my indicators have at least shown me they're not right on offline charts, then ONLY use MY indicators on ONLINE charts, and use NORMAL indicators on OFFLINE charts.

Regards,

Don

ok, so again, this is how you use the off line charts

make sure you've downloaded the history for all 14 original pairs by hitting F2 and then going to the symbol and and hittin the "download" button.

after that, you can attach the script to any on line chart. choose a start date and make sure you have enough history for that start date. you will see a parameter called BASKET. if you want a different BASKET, you can either leave that parameter blank and make you own custom basket or use one of teh predefined basket symbols you will see in the popup instruction. so set enlb instructions to true.

then just read through the popup instructions.

then it will proceed to write the off line charts. don't do anything to the platform until a pop says "xxxxxxx records written"

then open the off line m1 chart it made. then go back to the on line chart and attach the script again. this time after you attach it, you should get a blue and yellow box in the upper right hand corner and a readout in the upper left hand corner. don't open any other time frames until the script has calculated them. then you can open them off line. it will tell you which broker are supported as well. I need to get a list to zznbrm for the brokers and there Sunday start times but i think there is a way it can be done to retrieve that information automatically. I'm no coder so i wouldn't know for sure
