Indicators development for T101's not very simple method

Drylcean, try this one, added option for higher TF. Change tf1 and tf2 accordingly. This EA use VQzz2, so place it in indicator folder.

altoronto,

Thank you SO much for stepping forth. I asked and have received. Thank God. For having another coder on this thread, with quick turnaround, what more can we ask for? God is SO good.

Kind regards, and welcome,

Don

Thanks man, I am glad you like it. Still needs some polishing I am at work right now, so don't have much time to test/play with it.

Man ain't that the truth.

I know exactly what you're saying. I was just telling another friend through email that God has a sense of humor. He made me be able to learn to code an EA, but not the patience to find time to test it (which encapsulates putting EA on demo, and posting results at end of week).

That's why guys like us need guys like dryclean, who BTW has already saved this thread twice from disappearing into nowhere, whether he realizes it or not.

Nice to meet you.

Kind regards,

Don

Let's take square indicator for example. I don't have the .mq4, but don't need it.

The same code is shared between this and zigzag, Semafors (which is just zigzag with multiple periods, kind of like our mtf trading here or at least my mtf equation. Just makes longer periods. I can make HAS into a thinner HASmtf if you my equation to change HAS periods. Anyways, we have here two simple MQL4 equations:

double Realsquare_top = NormalizeDouble(High[iHighest(NULL,PERIOD_M5,MODE_HIGH,3,1)],Digit);
double Realsquare_bottom = NormalizeDouble(Low[iLowest(NULL,PERIOD_M5,MODE_LOW,3,1)],Digit);

Above, for Semafors, the last variable above would be 0 instead of 1 because the present bar is taken into account with Semafors but not with square (else how could you ever define a breakout if you included present bar - you couldn't lol). Instead of 3, you replace that with 5, or 13, or 34. That's Semafors in a nutshell, and any indicator based on zigzag. Why do they repaint? Because price moves. No lag. Price Action indicators. I also like nonlag tools, but there's nothing like NO lag tools.

Also, I see this thread and forum as a breeding ground for great tools. Some will come to this thread and wade through and find the nuggets. Some who don't know a thing, will never come to this site, still may want to trade Forex (I did). Why not make it easy on them, charge a small fee on another website, and save them time, and build your capital? You come to one place, that's cool. There's different avenues. Has anybody here been sold anything here? No. On a commercial site? Heck yes. I might put one of my EAs or advertise multiple EAs on craigslist, ebay, who knows where. I don't have an aversion to making money. Some of the best open-source software out there started free, but there are also paid versions that are not on sourceforge.net. In fact, I can sell a service where I can enlarge ANY photograph for you for $20. Just tell me the dimensions and I'll give back 300 dpi jpeg not much bigger on disk, but doesn't lose quality like all other methods I've seen. Now, you can either do research, or pay me $20. I also can do retouching and learned to be among the best in the industry. I can restore photographs to BETTER than original, since my learning how to use technology since 1992 allows me to do this. Now you can pay me $50-$100 for a restoration, or you can learn how to do it yourself. My point is: I can charge and make the learning curve shorter, or do something FOR somebody, or they can always spend the years I have learning what I know, doing it like I have done it through these free forums, where I've got overloaded many a times, but yes find nuggets, and that's the treasure from the hunt.

To the people not wanting to hunt, don't make them I say. It's up to them if they want to "risk" not much with a guarantee, or trade this market without knowing what they are doing. In the gold rush, someone had to sell the shovels. If Kos' strategy is proven in EA form, and does as good or better than others, or if nonlag does, either one using mtf, why not sell them on commercial website, and make money where those that aren't willing to hunt hard can make money faster for a small fee? It helps us both. That is what affiliate is all about. Find what you believe in and make money promoting what you use anyways. That's what I'm going to do maybe. The question is: Is it honest money? Yes. And the person who uses my link gets a discount than if they went the regular route.

Kind regards,

Don

In fact, why don't you post your winning and losing trades with that system on that commercial thread. And try the free system here, also posting your winning and losing trades. I'm sure you'll find they are both worth your money. If not, what have you lost? On an EA, turn it off sometime. On a manual system, trade it only sometime. You only need e.g. 20 pips a day to become a millionaire in less than a year.

Glad a new coder has shown up. I'm burnt out. I've given all I can.

I have a system and I'm trading it.

I recommend if you have something you can make money with, you take some time off the forums and actually trade what you can make money with instead of wasting time talking about trading. I'm done with that. Bye.

Kind regards,

Don

If I have hurt anyone, I am sincerely sorry. May God forgive me, and make the people whole. I never intended to hurt anyone.

Hello, I've been trading for 12 years, wrote many systems (EAs) and indicators for Tradestation and Wealth-Lab, but I'm new to MT4 and FF.

I discovered the T101 posts yesterday, and it sounded like a very creative and VERY promising technique. But it seemed like all the T101-related threads had died out over a year ago. This is the first thread I've found with recent activity, but from a quick scan it doesn't really look like anybody is following the T101 strategy any more?? Couldn't anybody but T101 get it to work? I thought I saw bunches of people talking about 100's of pips per day with BTS.

I've read Trader101's descriptions and tallman's website, and I am still very confused how this approach works. Unfortunately most of the writeups I've found have been pretty vague and unclear and I'm not getting a clear picture of how to trade this.

* I understand you open a demo account as an "indicator."
* You open positions in the magic 14 self-hedging pairs.
* I think you go long 7 pairs and short 7 pairs.
* You watch how they change position in the P/L listing in your indicator account. This shows changing relative strength between the pairs.
* When they make certain changes, you trade certain pairs. (I'm still very fuzzy on this point.)
* T101 says he exits a position when they pull back two slots.

That's about all I've figured out. I'm not clear on when/why you would restart with a new indicator account, exactly when/how you enter/exit trades, etc.

Without reading through all 4800 posts in this thread, and many posts in many other threads... can someone point me to a current/recent document that clearly explains how you trade this approach, and any tools (& how to use them) you recommend?

Once I get this figured out I may be able to help with the coding. As I said, I've written code for several other trading platforms for years.

Thanks for any help,
Gary

Hope the attachments in this post will help. No demo account is needed. Just the IA indicator:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...65#post5050265

BTW, The code from the indicators can easily be copied into an EA

BTW, here's the post to that already finished T101 EA shell:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...89#post3805989

What you or anybody with inclincation, can make rules for the already-built indicators, copy all into existing EA, post, and get people to test, hoping for replies from the people that do download. Download-to-Reply ratio is low from previous experience. Your mileage may vary.

BTW, I'm the one that wrote the EA and gave it and the indicators here, and tried my best to keep it going although it became mostly a one-man show that offended someone which caused Twee to contact me and tell me she removed some things. I told her to remove what she needed to. No hard feelings on my part. I also talked to my one-time mentor whose thread I got shut down a long time ago, and he said by doing so I hurt a lot of people. I never meant to.

So I'll step back, doing other things including trading, affiliate and programming work on already proven systems.

Gladly letting someone else step in. I would be grateful if my code weren't discarded, but improved upon. This is why I'm leading you to it, to make it easier for that to happen, and hopefully you'll share.

BTW, you did give one method correctly from the PDF:
http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...02010%201:40pm

Now, although Julius started with using slots to trade, the thread has moved to indicators. Offline basket charts have been made. Basketv6 is the latest offline basket-chart-creating indicator:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.php?p=5097541.

Now my understanding from the PDF:

1.The Phantom Menace = Setup that is automatic now with T101 IA indicator.

2. Attack of the Clones = Ideal position. We get this after the market is open one or two days. By experience, Monday (after midnight EST) London open to Tuesday at any time of the day, is when the big moves begin that Julius got in on. With #1 (top slot) and #14 (bottom slot) being "anchors".

3. Revenge of the Sith = aka Jumping Pairs aka Tandem Pairs. The first two to break the Ideal position, trade them two pairs, or up to four pairs. Julius traded these while waiting for the whole basket setup. Close pair when they retreat two slots from highest slot (for pairs going up when you get in buy) or lowest slot (for pairs going down when you get in sell). If the pair that jumped upwards is a BUY then trade both pairs LONG. If the pair that jumped upwards is a SELL then trade both pairs SHORT. The jumping pairs become "tandems" when the attracting or repelling (for lack of a better word) "cousin" of the Jumping pair is traded with the Jumping pair, so 2 or 4 pairs at a time in "tandem".

4. A New Hope = Tandem trading reference, while waiting on upcoming #5 to happen.

5. The Empire Strikes Back = When "jumping" pair becomes "anchor" at opposite end (e.g. buy jumps up out of Ideal position while sells are at top and becomes top "anchor " #1slot). This is the basket (safest) entry, probably already coded into the indicators and commented out.
If Buys are on bottom and one reaches the top anchor position - go 14 Long
If Buys are on top and one reaches the bottom anchor position - go 14 Short
If Sells are on bottom and one reaches the top anchor position - go 14 Short
If Sells are on the top and one reaches the bottom anchor position - go 14 Long

6. Shows an example of the basket going from Ideal setup to the other Ideal setup. A full cycle. Looks like it takes over a month. Hence the reason for jumping pairs.

So we have two strategies really. A long-term strategy with over a month cycle maybe, and a short-term strategy to make pips shorter-term trading.

IMHO it is a great "hedge" that is not

One pair example of proof of concept: If you put on simple EURUSD buys (multiple of them), and same amount of sells, you can clearly see when trend is UP or DOWN, by which is most profitable (last column sort, but indicator does this automatically), the buys or sells. Julius is doing this with multiple pairs, and noticed that buys and sells would always go to their separate ends. His observation is that the only way for this to happen is if they are all really traveling in the same direction, hence the basket.

Now, since then we have concluded through testing and feedback that M15/H1 combo is best for profits using VQzz indicator and TTF or STF (TTF = Trend TimeFrame, STF = Signal TimeFrame). I still believe HASmtf has not been completely tested, so should be user input to choose which to test. The indicator is used on 2 timeframes and trades happen when both timeframes agree. All this has been input from Kosmolate to get these, with zznbrm optimizing the VQ7 indicator.

Now with ALL this, I'm more than confident that a coder on this thread can do the simple stuff I seem to be unable to do. I could do the hard stuff (except MrPip had to fix the T101 EA to open and close trades correctly and it works great!), but not the simple stuff that would bring these pieces together into AN AWESOME EA! No matter what trade was taken, we could use NonLagMA, VQzz, or HASmtf, or Day direction, or Hour direction, or a combination of these to filter trades and which pairs of the basket we want to trade. We're no longer on weekly timeframe like Julius. We are on M15/H1. With indicators to help filter. I just need help and haven't been able to do it alone, so appreciate the help. If we could do it all, we wouldn't need each other. But I think I was meant not to be able to do it all because we do need each other. I think I'm dyslexic.

I do have 8 other baskets, as well as an all-pair sort indicators/setups that I have given to the few that gave to maintain this work. Development had to stop due to personal problems (printing, color management, Forex, mql4, and finances all combined and made me crazier than I've ever been I'm pretty sure, but I'm doing good now on days like today when I take my med for severe depression and anxiety).

Now, I would give these basket indicators to be used, but since there has been little real meaningful feedback on this thread in a LONG time, besides a handful of people, the handful that have given most lately and those that donated to keep this going, have these indicators.

My vision for this EA hasn't been met. I will retain all rights to sell this EA in the future and divide proceeds to those that have given code to bring this to fruition. So far, the only ones that would be getting paid in that scenario, if I made and sold an EA right now for it (there's one to test but good luck getting feedback), then Kos, Robert, zznbrm, and I would be getting paid for the commercial product. And if someone has problems with commercial products, they might want to consider they can get a Trade Manager for free, or pay for one. If they know where to get it free, they won't likely pay for it (I'm trying to be an exception to that rule in my practice, because I do know where to get stuff for free, but I want to pay for it as long as I can - it's honest). But those that want things handed to them on silver platter, will pay for silver that I will sell LOL. It's a win-win for both parties. I don't sell junk, and I hope you agree my code is not junk either.

Kind regards,

Don

Hello to all.


Could you tell me or I can find the post 4809 that indicators or there are graphics.
Sorry my English I'm French and I use a translator.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards

Don, I'm confused. If I understand that image right, your open positions are $550-618 = -$68 in the hole. I'm not sure what the "Buy all / sell all P/L" are, but that's in the hole too. What were "last week's gains" ? When I get a chance to look through your posts, I hope it will make more sense to me.

This IA says what WOULD HAPPEN (just like the demo account IA Julius used, except now no need for separate account).

The Buys are what Julius would do in demo account. The profit is what those 7 Buys would have gained or lost at any given time after week open.

The Sells are what Julius would do in demo account at same time as Buys. The profit is what those 7 Sells would have gained or lost at any given time after week open.

The BuyAll is also self explanatory as the others. IF I were to Buy All pairs (like Julius DID in his ACTUAL LIVE ACCOUNT), then the profit is what ALL those 14 Buys would have gained or lost at any given time after week open.

The SellAll is also self explanatory as the others. IF I were to Sell All pairs (like Julius DID in his ACTUAL LIVE ACCOUNT), then the profit is what ALL those 14 Sells would have gained or lost at any given time after week open.

This is all elementary and is the exact stuff I've been ranting about. You have an utter ignorance of the subject and won't even read the first couple pages of Julius' thread which explains all this. If you had, you'd realize my indicator IS (the closest to) the (original) IA that we have now.

Now, IF YOU HAD READ, you would plainly see that IF you had sold ALL 14 pairs, you would have made $1,083.55 if selling 1 mini lot of each pair at beginning of last week (so approx. $1/pip). Is it really that hard folks? I mean, really? And do you REALLY think I don't know what I'm doing or know what I'm talking about?

Don

Don, I read several hundred posts in Julius' thread. I understand the concepts. I just didn't understand your application of them. Makes sense now.

Awesome! Not really "my application". Who gave the PDF of julius' strategies, trying to help the forum understand. That' who you need to thank of spelling it out step-by-step, so that it could be ascertained easier, since it was obvious Julius gave up on this thread.

He "welcomed me to the group", like I had ascertained when I was broke, and still had many questions and had NOT understood the PDF as I now do and spelled out for you all hopefully in an even easier way?

I probably stepped on Orests' toes at the time, but it was unintentional. (I'm sorry Orest if this is indeed the case). His ADX has great merit, but he got little feedback too. Multiple people have struggled both internally and externally with this thread, and I hope others have grown as I have, and can realize what a gift THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD has given us. Shall we continue?

I hope others feel the same way that we can get past this "I'm not sure this system is profitable" garbage, and understand whether we do it Kos' ways (HASmtf OR VQzz) or Julius' ways (tandem OR basket), this is a treasure chest as Julius said it was.

14 pairs? Nah, I look at ALL pairs as you see in my posted pics of my indicators.

I also SEE EACH currency SEPARATELY. I DISSECT, and BUILD AGAIN (kind of like the LORD does. He takes much more pleasure in RESTORATION than He ever did in CREATION. I'm sorry for saying "I" so much. It is not I, but the LORD that lives HIS life THROUGH me as I WANT HIM and ASK HIM to.

I've exchange life for death, settled out of court, became the judge's (who is also THE ONLY RIGHTFUL KING TO THE THRONE) adopted son, and equal heir with his only begotten Son, what His is mine, and what is mine is His. He got the short end of the deal IMHO, but hey, he made the offer and I figure would have been a fool to turn down the offer of free eternal blessings, relationship with Him and His family, and salvation based on the finished work of the Jewish Messiah, who is the Christian God in human flesh "followers of the way" like me follow as He lights our paths.

-OR-

I could have denied Him and decided I'd settle for what this world has to offer now (not much honestly, nothing lasting except His Word and souls of people), and LESS than that for all eternity for turning down SUCH an AWESOME GIFT. Just like a Christmas gift, salvation awaits you for free. But you must stretch out the hand, accept the gift, OPEN AND USE the gift, before it is TRULY YOURS. You can ave a book on the bookshelf, but you don't really own it unless you consume/read it, regurgitate (chew on, digest, chew on some more, like a cow chews its cud), and KNOW IT.

The Bible doesn't say "The Truth shall set you free". It says "You shall KNOW THE TRUTH (Jesus called Himself THE TRUTH), and THE TRUTH (Jesus) SHALL SET YOU FREE".

AS LONG AS THE LORD IS WELCOME IN THIS THREAD, AND FEEDBACK CONTINUES, THIS THREAD HAS HOPE. If not, I prophesy it will wither and die, just as that fruitless plant the LORD spoke to and it never grew fruit again. THE LORD WILL NOT BE MOCKED. FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH HE SHALL ALSO REAP. This all started in GIVING by Julius. Although he quit giving, THAT SPIRIT is why it still exists. Do not think for a second this thread is here by mistake. It was pre-ordained that it should be here, for such a time as this.

Kind regards all.

Don

But does this system really work? You must admit these are incredibly long threads with nobody giving any concrete evidence of sustained success. There are some suspect, unsubstantiated claims that are swamped by many reporting short term gains only to have their account wiped out. Honestly from what I read even Julius didn't find success trading this, spending large amounts of his time "touring" the system not trading it. I also find it strange how many of the die hard fanatics shrug of the heightend risk of loss due to the inherently large spread. Can you with good conscience recomend this system to a close family member to trade with thier own money? Can you with good conscience recomend that a close family member spend the vast amount of valuable time needed to read these threads when more productive endeavours may be pursued?

i have been following this method for along time,from julias days through to the many variations and endless indicators,scalping , excell spread sheets,gbp/gpy as leading the basket to offline charts.jumping pairs ,ect,ect,

understand the money flow from watching these pairs in there most simplistic form,no indis,combine that with overall sentiment and the obvious economic circumstances,also watch 8 indicies ,showing global market money flow,and if things look bleek short 12 of the pairs,and 8 indicies,use indicies for entries with market sentiment,look at the larger picture,

regards
william

if you concentrate so much on the tools you are not focusing on the overall market.wich is destined to go up or down,when the overall market is digesting the worlds ecomony one should be also digesting,

sorry for my little rant

Hi
please be more specific about 8 indexes
Do u mean currency indexes?
What platform do u use?
thx

hi swiss forex,

what i mean by the indicies is the general market conditions,i follow the global market sentiment,ie,ft100,dax,german 30,ausie 200,wall street,hongkong42,if you watch and listen,with patience,you can establish the direction one should look for entry,the money onley goes in two directions,.............

SMART.....I like that....
