A secret...for another few days.

Its an (adapted) algorithm I use as a filter in a hardware synchronizer...mostly for location and post-production film. Problem is...in the hardware version...some of it is done with analog components, so...I'm tweaking it for this purpose. Could turn out to be a bucket of shite, but...I'm liking it. My problem is trusting it/getting used to it. It would have held me in my recent (Sunday) EA shorts for an extra 110 pips. Getting there, though.
just noticed it out of place.

Still tweaking...but "out of place" can be in the beholder, I guess. Tweaking it completely for how I want it. Reacts differently on various TFs, too. I primarily have it "tuned" for H1 right now. Will worry about others later.

I remember reading a few years ago about some geezer that makes a load of indicators (maybe Ehler...can't really remember) that came from an audio DSP (Digital Signal Processing) background. Was servicing one of my units last week and figured I'd have a go with something I know intimately and see how I get on. Ultimately...it is just an oscillator being plotted on a screen (unless it is going to be used in an automated system ), so others out there are similar. Probably looks pretty close to a Laguerre Filter once plotted...and loads of others, I'm sure...but the values will be different. I just like to tweak shit...and what better shit to tweak than something I know inside out. Somebody else's stuff, and I spend more time figuring it out than tweaking.

i was just looking for the norm retrace before 3003.. i saw weakness where it should be.. and closed L and opened S. ...
next h close below 2927 is pretty bearish.. below your 200 even better.
4h closed above.. less bearish then had it closed below.. the day bullish engulfing after support. almost a bullish hammer on the day. out look bullish.. day outweighs 4h.. closed shorts for 10 pips.

Right...so this baby has been up 126 pips off today's low to a high of 1.2951 breaking

multi-day fan lines (10/5,10/9...) and consolidating gains here @ 1.2930, in the process

of forming potentially a bullish flag here gathering strength for another leg up.

EUR/USD now = 1.2930
High = 1.2951
Low = 1.2825

See you guys @ LDN!

above crap does make 3003 more likely...so a long at/near 2914 may be the thing to do. i am still gonna wait for weakness maybe at 2901.x... and since i didn't read any trading books.. 2875 is still normal.. 2850 is probably a support... 2875.5 is between.. so i want to Long bear weakness and target 3003 still.. once 3003 is hit the 2875 long is void.. if the boat leaves w/o me.... im still sitting on 300+ euro pips this week ... 3131 still valid..

Bowled like poo. lol, Averaging around 145... I think it was from lack of adequate drinks. My team is trying to reform ourselves, at least a little bit. We've gone from year 1 (absolute piss drunk by second game) to year 4 (still standing at the end of the third). hahah.

Playing havoc on the mojo.
