Indicators development for T101's not very simple method

yesterday was zigzag somehow but it still ended well, and today has delivered its own goodies again, this should be clear enough. If I had reversed the two pairs in red circles it would have been extra +100 pips.

The problem is that if I reversed them manually by the time trend reversal happens and the EA is closing them it leaves the manually opened trades as orphans, and some time I would not notice this in time and they would have caused havoc in the basket.

OMG!! as I typed the previous post, price shot up fast and hit the TP of +1000 pips which I forgot in the accountprotectEA sitting on another chart just like that and am out now, I still dont know if this accountprotectEA is working on my side or the side of the broker. LOL!!

1000 green pips is not bad for a day job

kos

I always have UC and GC reversed works more than not
when trading 14 pairs

Congrats on the 1000 pips I got out with about 668 myself.

I have been going very carefully to build my account back up

yes its always works and it is coded in the EA for us.

and thanks now at least the entry and exit points of this are no longer obscure. 668 with 8 pairs thats fine DC, profit no matter how little, is better than loss. and 668 is not little at all. keep at it like that on and on and by this time 2012 you will be wealthy.

Have not done it yet Don but will absolutely load it up on some charts this week....thanks! Should be a fun week with all the new toys

Thanks Don, Kos, Dry, Telac, zz and all others for the great stuff.

I ran across a guy once that looked at exposure of the different currencies on the 14 pair basket, and he pointed out that exposure to the CHF is huge. I didn't believe it, really. I thought it was all pure JPY and USD strength against the EUR and GPB, at least with the 14. Recently, I saw that another guy did the same thing, (I believe over on the One Ball thread) that came up with the same findings), so I am convinced.

Problem is, the UC it no longer your fathers UC. Remember the good old days when the UC chart was almost the exact upside down image of the EU? . . .

Its not that way anymore. i guess because the CHF is a safe haven currency nowadays (I've also noticed that the GBP is a bit of a pain in the ass sometimes lately).

I am no economist or expert, but I guess the CHF is going to continue to be a fly in the ointment for the time being, probably for a year or two to come.

Looks like the direction to take on the CHF pairs is going to be a coin-flip at the present time. Luckily, the rest of the basket overcomes it, which is the strength of this type of system, in my mind.

I've been trading the 8 basket lately, and intend to look at your VQ7zz with it this week. Will let you know any major revelations I have, but that is doubtful (I am more of the seat of your pants type trader, which is not always the best way to trade).

Sorry for the lurking guys. I have done pretty well trading the baskets on and off over the last couple years with modest success, BUT you guys are SPOT-ON. I feel like a first grader in a room full of particle physicists. Frankly, I GOT NOTHING.

Thanks again everyone, Shake

ps, Looks like JMWs basket EA, with its TLE (i am sure you've looked at it) would be an excellent platform for your KosbyDon, but you coders would know best.

Nice little Doc Compilation lots of info inside.

Thanks

from a lurker in testing mode

Keep up the good work guys

Beshakey,

Thank you. I thank the Lord He has see fit to have this thread continue.

BTW, although I'm sure John's(?) thread is great, I haven't looked at it. I, like Kos, need simplicity in my trading. Anyone that visits the other thread and gets a good system, I don't know Kos feels, but I surely don't mind input, I just don't want to get far off-track from what I know works, since I've spent my Forex career doing just that (system-jumping) and it's not profitable.

That is why I am using HASmtf, Semafors, and my white one our open line. I buy below white line when HASmtf is blue, or sell above white line when HASmtf is red. I buy or sell the bounce off Semafor (support or resistance), and when confirming bar with higher high (if buying), or lower lower (if selling) is made. I haven't actually coded this, but it's what I would code if I had my head on straight enough to do it right now. Then would want to test VQ7, VQZZ, and RK-ml-HAMA T3 new - mtf & alert.mq4.

I'm now back on Mac OS X Lion using WineSkin to make wrappers (think just Windows bare essentials in a wrapper) that runs MetaTrader 4 (or 5). Least amount of overhead and what I'll have to use until I find multi-boot loader will either run any number of systems from images on one big HD (my wet dream) or a multi-boot loader that will not let Windows or Mac override it. In my (useless mind, numbing) tests, I installed Win XP using option key when starting, and did't use BootCamp because BootCamp only works with Win7. I then installed Win7 and it screwed up WinXP. Ugh! I then used XP's recovery console to fix boot and it screwed up Win7, and also didn't boot. Ugh! I then removed Lion recovery partition (what I thought was just and looked like just a copy of Lion's install package's install .dmg) and Lion wouldn't boot. Ugh! Now with NO system booting, and NONE of my Linux CDs I burned working, I was VERY frustrated. I gave up. Until I can find what I need, I'll work in OS X (I like Win7 too, but would rather use neither because I have an open-source mentality). So I hooked up by backup drive, booted from Lion install DVD I had made (thank God), and chose to "go back in time" using TimeMachine to Friday morning before my "testing from hell" Friday and Saturday. It shouldn't be this hard for ANYONE to install a Linux alongside Mac OR Windows. And THEM making it hard makes me want to move to Linux even more. There's multiple good systems to choose from that are good desktop systems.

Kind regards,

Don

Thanks for response, Don.

As for the other thread, it is not a system really, but an EA into which any basket system you care to program can be inserted. They already have Kos's system programmed in, and are having some success.
Also, it makes manual trading simple.
It might give you some additional resource and ideas, or it might not.

Thank you, Don, for all your generosity to others.

Here is a simple signal EA for the VQ indicator. It shows when the VQ changes on the upper timeframe. Nothing really fascinating about this...but it does things a little different than the current EA that you might find useful:

- Calculates VQ internally (using VQzz indicator logic)
- Calculates upper timeframe VQ without upper timeframe chart needing to be open (not very important for single-pair processing, but convenient for baskets)

Currently coded for timeframes <= H1. For timeframes over H1, update the calcStart() function accordingly.

Note: Given how you guys are constructing your basket bar data and how you are using it, you really don't need the offline basket charts at all for the EA. You can simply internalize (within the EA) the creation of all basket data and the indicators. But that's probably a topic better suited for future discussion...

Edit: Added similar signal EA for MTF Heiken Ashi.

I have kos/don ea on a 1min offline 14 pair
the red line was entry
thought should enter buy up arrow at least
or is this the lag of the VQ7 cause set to 15 TF

anyone else

dryclean,

I haven't looked at it since Kos changed code and uploaded his latest strategy. I'll try to remember to have a look when I can, but will be busy today.

Kind regards,

Don

Having some trouble with Kos's EA. I have it on a 1 min 5 min and 15 min chart different Magic numbers

I had a trade around midnight last night and that was it. So I know it works

There should have been a few more since. Anyone getting trades and It is just me?

Could be my broker just trying to widdle it down

its another very good day, been in this SELL since 11:00am till now and over +1000 pips brought in again.

see the picture, the entry point is obvious, and you can see where it is now.

@dryclean

I get the same problem many times, like if you look at the picture posted, I expected to get a SELL, BUY and SELL because I put my PC on since market open, but it did not take the first 2 trades and I was surprised when it took the SELL.

I guess the value of the VQ7 is not been taken properly by the EA, I have tried all I could but it still skip good trades many times.

kos

Hi zznbrm,

thanks for taking interest in what we are doing here and thank you for keeping an eye on the progress, and also thank you for the fine tools you are dropping for us to make things easy.

And it would be nice and appreciated if you can drop us an EA that works with your scripts completely

thanks in advance

kos

Just using iCustom, and not waiting until bar close, I got way too many trades in the EA I'm building now.

I do build the single-pair EA to have different magic numbers, so trades would be opened and closed differently, even if same pair.

If it is basket EA, the magic numbers were implemented by MrPip I think.

Why don't you INSTEAD OF having the EA in same MetaTrader 4, duplicate and name your duplicate MetaTrader 4 a different name, and test ONE SET of timeframes on ONE install, and THE OTHER SET on THE OTHER install? They are NOT really meant to be traded together on same broker IMHO. Maybe Kos can correct me if I'm wrong. One basket is enough for one broker at a time IMHO.

Kind regards,

Don

Yes, the best and simple option is installing into different folders with different names and your PC must be powerful to stand the accounts running at the same time.

kos

I will just be patiently waiting, I know solutions will come forth that we may not need multiple offline charts and the EA will be trading on the offline charts and BTS would become simpler than what we have now.

with the renewed interest the coders are showing here in the thread again

kos

oh yes

feel better now that I know I'm not the only one to notice these strange entries from the EA M15TF

I'll keep my manual trading for the moment
many thx

HELLO ALL, I HOPE I GOT YOUR ATTENTION.

umh, good...

I have attached here TWO EAs.

Within this EA there are 12 tests. (10 in one, and 2 in the one with Kos in name)

Let me explain:
These 12 templates wait for the bar to end before entering or exiting trades.
m1m15_hasmtf_kos.tpl
M15H4_hasmtf_kos.tpl
m1m15_20lwma.tpl
m15h4_20lwma.tpl
m15h4_rht3.tpl
m1m15_rht3.tpl
m1m15_hasmtf.tpl
m15h4_hasmtf.tpl
m1m15_vqzz.tpl
m15h4_vqzz.tpl
m15h4_vq7.tpl
m1m15_vq7.tpl

If you turn that to True, then we have just double the number of tests needing done to 24.

Now add the Biblical truth that no fact shall be determined with only one witness, so we must have two to three testers per template, so the number of testers needed is now 48 or 72.

I need TWO OR THREE administrator(s) to step forth to supervise this project.

I need testers.

These are the rules:

Since I want as scientific a test as possible, I need:
1. People with good working systems with fast internet connections.
2. I want those who choose to test to ONLY test EURUSD. Why? Because this is the lowest spread pair, the one I will be starting to trade live once I get any money to trade, and if a strategy will not work on the easiest pair to trade, then it will not work on basket.
3. Test EITHER M1 OR M15, depending on which template is assigned by the Administrators of this project.
4. The testing start time of when the EAs will be put on chart will be set by Administrators, and adhered to by testers. Otherwise, the test will not be kept or taken as truth, and another person will be chosen by Administrators to take your place next week for testing (starting when FXDD opens for week).
5. Every person MUST trade THE SAME BROKER. I have chosen FXDD. I will take a bucket shops' and big banks' money any day, they've taken mine many days, and hey, it's business, right? That's the way all banks have acted since 2008, like oh well, whoever it hurts, it's business. Well, I say oh well, let the light shine o nyour sin, let the riches Wall Street and the Fed has stolen for almost 100 years now, go back to Main Street - the people - who it belongs to. The riches of the wicked are stored up for the righteous. I am no socialist. I am a Christian. If I am taken to be a Socialist because I hate to see theft and treason, so be it. MAY GOD BE GLORIFIED.
6. EVERY tester will open a FXDD DEMO account, and either sign up at MT4 stats or if possible (and better if can be done) for every tester to sign their demo up at forectfactory in their profile, so that Administrators can track percentage or dollars from account open.

No matter what, I have only allowed entry OR exit ONCE per bar.

I am NOT testing, since I just spent over 14 hours straight coding this for you all to test, and am tired and taking my rightful rest.

I now ask the ones that need to, to step forth. Please.

Talk to you all later.

Kindest regards to all,

Edit: If someone wants for the TTF bar to complete, they will need to make STF to equal TTF. Oh yeah, that doubles the amount of tests needed. Self-appointed administrators (that all 3 or 2 out of 3 must agree on anything for it to be so) can do the needed math and provide templates modified from ones I provided here, using only changed user inputs and saving new templates. I would appoint Kos, zznbrm, and dryclean as Administrators, but they would have to be willing. Id they are willing, I am sure no one would have any arguments over any of these fine people doing the job. I'm taking the week off from here on unless an Administrator can't handle any changes that need to be done they know how to contact me.

If I have done something wrong, which I may have, and something may need fixed, I hope an Administrator would come forth and make any simple needed changes to the code if I am unreachable. I leave you all for now. Be back at end of week maybe. Must rest now.

BTW, if anyone remembers, the indicators I made and gave away long ago, I did T101 without offline charts, so the code is there to be picked up and put into EA (truth be told, I've already done that too but Julius nor anyone of the people I sent it to gave feedback, or wanted to work on it back then.... so who knows what's going to show up here. Really still more goodies up my sleeve thanks to Jesus )
