If you've got speakers that can SHAKE WALLS...

Crank this fakker up...'tis cool...

Without the speakers...I'd wait till you have them. Don't do the "iEar" thing.

Walls rattle...or forget it!

Need someone...anyone...to let me know if its making sense. PM me if u can't reply here...thnx.
Hi all, this would be my first post in this thread, so wanted to take the opportunity to say thanks the all the years of wisdom you have been sharing... much appreciated!

Ken, i've got a "remark" about the mirror (the multiline is close to perfect!).

I have an issue with the underlying idea of the mirror, in fact i've been trying to implement such a thing for a while, but everytime i dumped the idea. The reason is because it mirrors not really objectively, it mirrors as the line visible on the screen, without additional historic representation. Which could be ok, but for some reason i always had some feeling of doubt. What would be a semi-solution to the problem is having 2 additional parameters, one that allows for a historic bar to start mirroring from and another as a priceheight to start mirroring from.

Does that rambling make sense in any way? GL!

Sorry boys, girls, clowns...friends and useless lumps of love!

Particularly these two fellow fakkers that I rattled unnecessarily...

I'm blaming running Chrome and Firefox simultaneously. Maybe a little beer sprinkled in there, too. For whatever reason, I didn't get the immediate notification that you'd said...xxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx to the request.

Thanks again!

To burt: Not sure id the title of the PM was directed at me...or self-descript? Either way...

Sums me up!

Cheers

Hehe, no, allow me to make a further point please, i'm sure you'll appreciate it

If you imagine the mirror as having a "focal point", you can do something else, on a higher timeframe you're bound to have an important move (either up or down), now, we know that the mid of that move will have an important future role to play (wether you use Fibs, Andrews, Gator ;-) ) so understanding that this particular mid is important in the future, you might want to try to peg the mirror focus to that point.

Another interesting concept is not mirroring price itself, but a moving average. Let's assume 2 MAs, a fast one and a slow one. Try to imagine the slow one as a focuse and from that mirror the fast one. It will not be a symmetrical shape, but just as the cross of fast and slow gives information, so too will the cross of mirror-fast and original-slow give valuable insights.

hope that gives an impulse to the development efforts!

I've never come up with some bit of gloriousness/annoyingnous/gobshitedness that I thought people would want to read every time I post. Mind you...I post quite often, when on a roll...kinda like now.

Good, good.

Great!

I have to go back, though.



Fak it...I'm going to start from here...



How can you not see, programatically, what the ""visual"" is going to do to the end result?
