Indicators development for T101's not very simple method

Quoting zznbrm
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!

Keep up the good work!
Hi zznbrm!

I must tell you that I love your coding skills, in the kosVisualBacktest.mql your wrote previously. it was dropping the arrows at the exact places of entry and places of exit based on TrendMagic & MACD and I got back to you that it was doing it well but you never made it an EA.

I don't know what or who among us here might have pissed you off. but I am delighted to know that you are still keeping an eye on the tread development. I have done it manually for the past 5 months mechanically on 1min-15min TF, and after removing loss from profit it left something for me that can be called profit, and I hope you will once again just pick that code up and use it to give us an EA based on this HASmtf

though five months is not enough to conclude that a way of trading is profitable, but I still need a way to make it easier if it can be traded as per the simple rules

cannot PM you cos its disabled in your profile, the code is attached in case you need it.

Problem with starting basket over every week... some brokers?

On the left is pictured MBT and on the right FXDD. MBT has much better spread for the baskets vs FXDD, but has incorrect beginning time of the week whether using MT4 code, zznbrm's code, or a mix of zznbrm's code and my code (note: each indicator uses a different method). FXDD on the other hand gives correct time using same indicators. So the time is per broker, and I see no way to fix it on one broker, and no way to mess it up on the other. Notice the broker that has the problem (MBT) begins its week later on because the date is not the same as FXDD, which is already new week date. This is why I'm drawing all history, but would be nice to be fixed.

Edit: Nevermind. Fixed it myself (Lord gave me answer - thank You Jesus), using code below:
int OneSecond = 1;
int OneMinute = 60*OneSecond;
int OneHour = 60*OneMinute;
int OneDay = 24*OneHour;
int OneWeek = 7*OneDay;
Broker_WeekOpenTime = iTime(NULL,PERIOD_W1,0);
if(Broker_WeekOpenTime < (TimeCurrent() - OneWeek)) Broker_WeekOpenTime = Broker_WeekOpenTime+OneWeek;
StartBar = iBarShift(NULL,0,Broker_WeekOpenTime);
StartBarTime = iTime(NULL,0,StartBar);

if(StartBarTime < Broker_WeekOpenTime) {
StartBar = iBarShift(NULL,0,Broker_WeekOpenTime)-1;
StartBarTime = iTime(NULL,0,StartBar);
} else {
StartBar = iBarShift(NULL,0,Broker_WeekOpenTime);
StartBarTime = iTime(NULL,0,StartBar);
}

Kind regards,

Don

mas toro,

I learned coding as a means to an end and not an end in itself. When I started this journey, I couldn't get people to test my code. I still can't get any feedback from people I send it to for free (that's why I have ceased sending my code to anyone).



Kind regards,

Don

hi don.
please check your LR,
thanks

If I recall correctly...I reviewed the backtest results of the TrendMagic/MACD strategy and did not like the strategy...so development of an EA was unfortunately not high on my to do list.

DC,
I've been looking for that answer also, the url below from MQL has one approach but I'm still looking.

In the mean time I added a case 11 to your t101 but I can't get it to work, 10 works and 12 works and 11 is built the same , any suggestions??
case 10:
Pair[0] = "GBPUSD"+Pair_suffix;
Pair[1] = "EURGBP"+Pair_suffix;
Pair[2] = "GBPJPY"+Pair_suffix;
Pair[3] = "CADJPY"+Pair_suffix;

Pair[9] = "GBPCHF"+Pair_suffix;
Pair[10] = "";
Pair[11] = "";
Pair[12] = "";
Pair[13] = "";
break;
case 11: //RAYS' 11
Pair[0] = "GBPCHF"+Pair_suffix;
Pair[1] = "EURCHF"+Pair_suffix;
Pair[2] = "GBPCAD"+Pair_suffix;

I did not get a response earlier, so I will try again.

I have an EA that I had created that trades the direction changes in the HAS indicator. Is it possible to edit the EA to trade the MTF HAS and change the order entry to trade the basket according to the script? Or would it be better to start over on a new EA? My coding skills are rudimentary at best.


My plan is to auto trade this EA but limit it to the 1-15 only in the direction of the 1 hour HAS.

I've gotten 3 pairs to work before, so does not have to be even.

Sometimes modifications will not work for some reason that I cannot determine, just have to take the original version and modify it again and then sometimes it works.

I do not know how to call a script from an EA.

However, if I was looking to do that, I would simply add the script functionality to the EA. This way, you can execute the script code directly from within the EA.

Hi, ZZ:

it is here http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...12522&page=252

post #3776 is the major rules, if I get it right.

but from page 251, Kos introduced how to set up the chart and indicator in a few preceding posts.

it'll be great if Kos may re-arrange the rules, because, maybe these two months Kos has some improvement or updates?

btw, ZZ, i feel that holding a winner is very essential to this T101 method.

See how PA is just bouncing along that red line
I will sit and wait for PA to get back to the Has before trading

Bad economic news from Germany may mean the PA will go to the next red line after the NY markets open .... We shall see

BEWARE you must make a tight entry as there is only about 70-100 pips to the red line

Jump in with a buy just above the blue arrow and bailed
yes you guessed soon as it touched the red line waiting for a retrace back to the blue has and do it all over again

Rinse & Repeat

Hasn't disbellj already coded an EA for that strategy?

If the strategy rules have changed, someone should probably ask disbellj to update his EA for the new rules. He is a good coder and, if willing, can make the appropriate coding changes.

Yeah I gave a lot on this thread. The latest Kos strategy was coded and given over a month and half ago with not so much as a thank you or kiss my butt since. Think that makes me want to do the simple copy and paste it takes to turn and old reliable T101 basket EA that I made and MrPip fixed to trade correctly, to pick it up and easily turn it into latest strategy? For thankless people who show no kind of appreciation, even knowing I'm having a financial hardship (not a donation, not one saying they'll give me a loan, nothing - on a Forex forum)? Not in a big hurry I must say. BTW, the timeframes Kos looks at are 240, 60, 15, it seems regardless of STF (Signal TF, which can be M1, M5, etc.). I even tried to give a good reliable method for retrace, and was again ignored. Forgive me for not jumping to attention for everyone.

Also BTW, anyone want to know more about me, they can click the link below beside My profile.

Kind regards,

Don

@ zznbrm
yes Don did but it was placing trades at RED and BLUE HAS and when a trade stops out even at the pick of a trend as long as HAS is still in that colour it would still send in trades, can't wait for the pullback

this is how I do it:

1 price speed pass HASmtf, I say ok, a trade is coming up and I keep watching for price to come back to HASmtf again. cos I hate DD.
2 Price stalls on its way and starts a comeback, then I am interested and when it is xx pips around HASmtf I pull the trigger.
3 If HASmtf is RED I short the basket(14 universal pairs)
4 If HASmtf is BLUE I long the basket (14 universal pairs)
5 if it doesn't come back I simply let it go away, there would be another time
6 my SL is 560 pips (for all the pairs combined)
7 if it goes my way and I see +200pips I quickly change profitLocker value to 0.00 USD i.e. BE
from that point onward I want 200 pips to be between me and current price
8 if it hits my locked profit line, I don't place another trade until there is another pull back to HASmtf and the conditions are still true.
9 if it is going well then stay on until HASmtf changes to opposite colour.

All this I do on 1min chart/15min HAS that's why at 200 pips I quickly BE but I doubt if that would be ok for higher TF and for this reason I think it would be ok if everyone can choose what suits the TF he trades through the extern variables.
