Indicators development for T101's not very simple method

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...=1#post4859652

Just completed a double stack look here for info

dryclean that is awesome... I will try it next week

So many promising methods to try here on FF, I feel so torn


Don,

I'm a religious person myself and after reading your post, I'm actually speechless with disbelief at what you wrote.

All I can say is - calm your soul and be humble - good things will come to those who wait

Everything is a test I know I am being tested as I am trying to make ends meet myself - that is why I am here to learn and to share when possible.

Sincerely,
Mike.

the-game,

What makes you speechless? Elaborate please.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/humble

Let's see: When Jesus was here on this earth, I would say He was humble. He believed and lived by what the Father thought of Him, not what men thought of Him. Let's compare to the list from dictionary.com, shall we?:

He was number 1, although He didn't have to be. He could have destroyed us at any time instead of coming to die in our place. He could have never created us. Ever think of that?

Number 2 doesn't apply to Him. He never felt insignificant or inferior, for He knew who He was, for His identity came from the Father. He was and is subservient because in God's order of things, Him Whom shall be First shall be last. Him Whom want to rule over all must be the servant of all. He was.

Number 3 only applied to Him on earth before His passion, but no longer. Low in rank, importance, status, and quality? Before He started His ministry maybe. But after His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension, these no longer apply.

Number 4 He was courteously respectful of all except the religious leaders of His days on earth, whom put Him to death (He laid down His life, for no one could take it from Him), and they tried to kill His Church in its infancy. But as He said, the gates of hell will not stand against it.

Number 5 I doubt ever described Him, although it does me.

Numbers 6 and 7 are what the the world, the flesh, and the devil try to do. This is not was God does unless He is breaking you down so that He can build you back up.

Number 8 is up to each individual to do before God. Jesus was meek (made Himself lower than the angels by making Himself a man, but a man had to save mankind because a man lost dominion to Satan so it took a man to get dominion back, which Christ did), but He was not a pushover by any means (look and see and get to know Him). He was physically strong (a carpenter), didn't need man to tell Him what was in man, for He knew (and knows) what was and is in man.

I'll give you my take now, as a true Bible-believing Christian:
I was a sinner on my way to hell. I deserved it. I was born in enmity (warfare) against God. I was only saved because the Holy Spirit showed me I was a sinner by the law, but showed me the way home was through the Savior (Jesus), the only mediator between God and man, and the only name given among men whereby we must be saved (which is a free gift of God, by grace, through faith, in Jesus). I plead guilty out of court years ago, and was immediately adopted into the family of God. I am now not called a sinner (although I practically am still a sinner, but am no longer positionally a sinner), I am called a saint. I am also called a joint-heir with Christ (Jesus, the Son of the Father, my spiritual brother, as every other believer is, as we are called brothers and sisters in Christ), a king (serving the King of kings Jesus), a priest (serving the High Priest Jesus), and a prophet (telling what He has told me, which includes the future (for the books of Daniel as well as Revelation was written for this purpose), as well as being called to be a witness, which is just someone who gives an account of what they've seen and/or what happened to them). One day court will be held (it is appointed to man one to die, and after this the Judgement). Every one who hasn't settled out of court will appear in court and they will be found guilty. There is only one sin that is unforgiveable: The continual willfull putting off of salvation when the Spirit tries to show you the truth, saying it is a lie, because of the sin in your heart that separates you from a loving God. No one will go to hell for sins. They will go to hell and suffer eternal separation fro God because of their pride, for not taking ahold of the only rope that can save them from the fire. For not believing the fireman (Jesus), but instead thinking they know better (ao they walk right into the fire the fireman is trying to save them from).

I am not mad, but I do not and will not lean on the arm of flesh. That time is past. I am humble because I believe what God has said about me. I count humbleness and meekness as God does, not as the world does. Meekness is strength under control, not weakness. Jesus was meek, but was not weak.

I have been here YEARS and given freely. I've only been asking for donations since November (and not that many times really). First, read the thread. Read what lack of medication can do for a person working with MANY YEARS of SEVERE anxiety AND depression. Even in my weakness His strength has been made known in my giving and code.

Now that I'm regular on my meds, and almost at my breaking point financially, but now making real strides, believing only in Him as my all-in-all, my strength, my sword, my shield and my refuge, I don't feel I owe anyone here anything that I haven't already given. The Lord may change my mind, but no man will. The Bible says to give where you get your food from (why you are called to give to pastors and teachers and missionaries who give you spiritual food), yet I KNOW SOMEONE HERE ON THIS THREAD has benefited from what I've given, and has not obeyed the Bible in this regard.

Any other questions and/or comments?

Don, you have PM.

EDIT: I saw you edited your post above.
I was simply speaking from my heart. You can take it from face value as I had intended it or read into it more than it needed to be read into.
I was not trying to discourage you, so don't feel like I was.
Mike.

Don.

do you have Liberty Reserve (LR)account, it's easy to donate.
i don't have money in paypal but alot of in LR

if you good coder, you can work in here.

thanks

To everybody:

As always, I say something about donation, and someone who hasn't read the thread, but comes in on the backend reading just the latest posts, gets feeling like I'm trying to make someone feel bad for not donating, when they don't have the money to donate, and haven't made money with my tools. As always, I must come back and justify myself to all readers who are too lazy to read the thread, but yet get offended at what I say, so they get it out of context and try to judge me.

As always, if you didn't profit, I didn't ask you to donate. I've said this over and over and ayone who has read this thread can attest to this fact.

In fact, I haven't asked anybody today to donate! Read my posts again! Please! I said that WHEN I asked people to donate, they wouldn't or didn't for the most part. I can count those who gave to me financially since November on one hand, and know for a fact that all gifts/donations combined didn't add up to one mortgage payment. Do you think more people than that profited from what I've made? I think so. Do you now see why coders are few and far between on these "free" sites? I hope so.

Kind regards,

Don

Just entered a buy off a nice little kiss

Hi Dryclean

Thank you for posting the iprofit tracker Just have to figure out how to set it up correctly now!

Many thanks bud.

You've helped me regain my confidence with your DC Eaglets mixed trading method

EDIT: Your MPTM settings got me out at around $65

Glad you got everything working

I have an EA that auto trades the changes in Heiken Ashi Smoothed Indicator. PM me if there is anyone here that is interested in adapting it to trade off of the MTF indicator and change the order entry to be the same as the script to enter the 14 tades. My coder is no longer available. I am going to start working at it myself, but my coding skills are rudimentary at best.

It has a block of code that disables trading on Friday. If someone can tell me how to disable that section of code I can see if it trades with the HA MTF. If so, then all i need to do is change the order entry to trade the basket.

TO ALL:

NOTE: The above EA DOES trade correctly, thanks to Robert(MrPip). Just need variables, rules for trading, comments, and maybe "flags" (aka bool) changed to suit ANY strategy. DO NOT change the trading code itself, other than pairs being traded.

//---

MrPIp, sorry for not appreciating the extras you put in the EA at the time you fixed it, sorry for not appreciating the effort and giving kindess you put in at the time, and sorry for running you off.

//---

zznbrm, I guess I ran you off too. Sucks. You were the only one that vouched for me, then pulled it. Kind of hurt my feelings, but I'm a big boy, so got over it. Sorry for not appreciating the effort and giving kindess you put in at the time, and sorry for running you off.

//---

If it wasn't for me and Robert (MrPip), you would not have the pieces that you have to put what you need together. I'm not only a part of the solution, I'm obviously part of the problem. I am human and have problems. I wish people understood better, but I know some do. I actually need help sometimes too and can't do it all myself. In fact, none of us can. We all need each other whether we like it or not.

It's only by the grace of God for your sakes that I post this post to try to lead you to water once again. God put it on my heart to try and help you all put this together. Notice that 90%+ of the code is mine that I gave freely, and never even asked for a donation until long after I first gave, and only because I have been hurting, but enough of that.

//---

It's just for a "development" thread, in Platforms "Tech" - Tech means technology, like get associated with it - that there would be more interested "developers".

Note: I understand there are strategies needed in development, but this means more than throwing ideas out and wasting coders' time. Coders lose interest after spending fruitless hours coding an unprofitable, unproven, "whim". Development means doing the best you can to have it simplified into step-by-step just like Kos did this time with his present strategy, so that a coder can easily see from start to finish, maybe adding last swing low/high for stoploss if none provided. This gives them "vision" of the the one that came up with strategy, so that they can "see in the mind's eye" exactly what is expected and has no problem doing it (for knowing the concrete goal, his mind starts calculating ways to get done what is needed, where if the target is moving, coder gets exhausted and maybe quits for sanity's sake, or to spend time with precious loved ones, which money can't buy, which I know of coders, including me, who am going this route, and which is why I've taken a break from coding altogether. My family, my sanity, is much more important.

Help yourself. Enjoy. May God bless you.

Thanks, Praise, and Glory be to God ALONE, of course. He is my Salvation, my Rock, my Shield, my Sword, and my Strength, and I would be nothing without Him. Thank you Jesus.

Kind regards,

Don

Here is something that may be of interest... I am still trying to see what it means

I went back 54 weeks and took the Close and Open which is the candle body and compared it to the total wick, open to high + close to low
Here is a graph. Not 1 week was the body larger than the wicks. The average was 70% wicks to body size.

If the body is bigger than the wicks then price is moving in a direction and will continue for most of that week.

This is not the case for the last 54 weeks

Which means price moved in a direction then later in the week retraced back. This means 100% of the time price will not keep running but will retrace back to nears it's starting point or for a small gain for the week

How can we use this to our advantage?

Does this mean a larger SL could used as price will retrace So if you do get on the wrong side of a trade it will come back
I also have a pic of a weekly chart

Just had nothing better to do this AM....

I'd like some comments

dryclean,

I think you're awesome, and right on.

The market makers don't seem to want price to change drastically over time, but during each week there is AMPLE oppotunity to gain pips, no matter who is trading. If you could go back and use my T101_BuysVsSells, and look at each week separately, looking at just the BuyAll line (or just use the first indicator I gave to finimej, which she posted publicly, which was seen and posted to this forum thread by Orest - the T101_BuyAll indicator), and you would see the SAME thing from a different VIEW. Whether by Julius, me, or others seeing the same thing week in and week out, we can even say that the action doesn't start until around Monday evening, or Tuesday, and Julius said this in the first post of his thread. He obviously sees this different than I do, I never have been able to see it like Julius does, but I'm seeing the same thing from a different view. Obviously you are seeing the same things from even a different (best of all really of the 3 views, since it's purely statistical). So my comment? You rock. Kudos! Please share more of your insight It is great to see a different point of view I know nothing about (but should, since I took statistics in college and did well - go figure).

If you think about the fact that spread for basket is certain amount, and know that trend lines as well as horizontal support and resistance, as well as Fibs, as well as Pivots, all work on the basket, when you look at larger timeframes, you can play probably most H4 or D1 candle, starting by selling at the high (which you DO know if it bounces from trend line or horizontal support or resistance or Fib or Pivots, or multiple at the same time, called confluence) and buy back at the bottom (which we get target from again Fibs, Pivots, trend line support or resistance, or channel tool, which is double trendline). Trendlines, Fibs, Channels, are all made from 1-2-3 pattern with Semafor 3 as the beginning. Semafors can't be used alone, but with a moving average to show trend, they are useful. With all these other things together, we really could see confluence and probably know turning points in the market. And that's not even using time to look for future strong movements.

Kind regards,

Don

Your statistics would be intriguing if the highs and lows (wicks) on your chart actually represented the highs and lows of the basket during each week. A quick review of your offline basket chart generator will prove this is clearly not the case.

In fact, code inspection is not really necessary - the "unnatural" look of your basket weekly chart candles makes it rather obvious that the wicks do not accurately represent the highs and lows of the basket.

See this post for further explanation:

I read your post and it makes sense
I thought what I was looking at was odd

But in your post are you saying the 1min TF is about as acurate as you can get with the T101 indi

dryclean,

I decided to make a gif to show what I'm talking about in last post, if these candles had plenty of profit after paying spred and not being greedy on any candle. BTW, I once demonstrated this on an H4 candle, riding bounce off top trendline riding to bottom when ran out of steam.

Your work is awesome.

I have yet to meet someone with your mathematical intellect, (Non coders, there are many) maybe Hanover?

But the thing is that sometimes we try to justify our convictions by numbers.

By over complicating simple systems that work will just give you a headache.

I too have tried to put everything in (no pun intended) mathematical order & insofar as Forex is concerned. (Nothing works as intended.)

I have put an IA on Sunday Open more than once to check how it will impact on the basket etc.

The Offline chart works period. For the Purists not exactly.

As long as the pips roll, hey what the hell?

I am saying, to get the most accurate basket candles (both history and live), you would want to use Tick Data. Now, since tick data is not stored in MT4, using M1 data to construct the candles for the upper timeframes is going to work pretty good and should provide enough accuracy to draw trustworthy conclusions as you are trying to do with your weekly chart.

But using Weekly data for each of the symbols of the basket and trying to construct weekly basket candles is going to be highly inaccurate. And then using those inaccurate candles to look back over historical data and try to formulate patterns of price behavior is probably going to lead to inaccurate conclusions.

Now, I say "probably going to lead to inaccurate conclusions" because I have not proven this (or seen proof). I have proven that the high/lows are inaccurate. However, you may be on to some crazy forex market nuance that is very profitable. I think it is very unlikely...but until proven, I will keep an open mind.

Thank you for your kind words!

Amen to this! My everyday strategy is very, very simple. Overcomplicating is a huge problem for many traders!

I am making no judgement about the T101 strategy or the usefulness of the offline basket chart. From what I have read on this thread, there are plenty of folks who are doing very well with it. That is awesome!

Just making a comment about the accuracy of the highs/lows of dryclean's weekly basket chart.

Keep up the good work!
