t3 contest

if you can apply your prediction to ordinary ema, you can get the associated close value with a simple algebra.

suppose N = ema period
SF = smooth factor = 2/(N+1)
ema formula:
current_ema = last_ema + SF*(current_close - last_ema)
future_ema = current_ema + SF*(future_close - current_ema)
future_close = (future_ema - current_ema)/SF + current_ema
future_close = future_ema/SF + current_ema*(1-1/SF)

giving the value of current ema, you can calculated future close.

pls note, the above formula show that prediction error of future ema will be more significant at smaller SF (hence longer ema period), because that 1/SF factor.

for example:
for ema period = 9, SF = 0.2. error of future ema will be 1/0.2 = 5 times larger
for ema period = 19, SF = 0.1. error of future ema will be 1/0.1 = 10 times larger

i don't have good result with the ema so i cannot return to the close price from the ema the error is too big...

i'm very happy to annunce that the dll is finisched and works with the same result into mt4 so if someone have a good idea we can test it by now...

Is there some sort of api or something we can use to tap into the dll?

i don't think...

No one have good idea??

This is by far one of the best strategies on FF. Just check the first couple of posts in that thread and it explains everything.

Thanks for stopping by our thread, I guess the T3 in the title of the ea caught your eye. Interesting indicator you have there, I don't exactly see how it would work with our ea. I can run the idea by our coder.

I use an indicator based on T3 for determining the trend. With the next value of the T3 indicator we can calculate the next value of my indicator. The ea would open trades on the open of the bars marked with the red vertical line on the image I've attached. With the help of your prediction, it could make a profit even in choppy times like the one to the right of the image. I'll post the indicator here if you're still interested in this subject.

try to post here your indicator....

Here you are. I'm leaving on a trip until Sunday, so if you have questions about it i'll answer than.

i've seen your indicator but i think we cannot use it because it is based on the difference between the current t3 and the previous but i see that the difference is usually than 1 pips and that's my error prediction...
