Progress - The System

second indi velocity

velocity collapse we need a ratio here to see the power of the collapse

please kindly see the pic here under

3rd indi volume

volume here is down .....

it seems to me that its somewhere around here to build those

FREE EA


for position amount lets make the minimum .... 0.01 & take profit simple 1 percent ....



THANKS JUREX

will be back end of day (hope)

regards

PROGRESS = INFINITE NUMBER OF FREE EA

EA ARE FULLY CUSTOMISABLE ALL THE TIME


Its really better then to have idea + coded or make it coded by somebody.
the top of the top is if you made a mistake or want change the ea its quiet easy...

i cannot wait to know how to use the full power of progress....

buy signal in €/$

simple rule to test with progress


BUY

tma = red + cross zero + green

velocity = UP + go over zero level + strong ratio

volume = down

SELL

TMA = green + cross zero + red

Velocity = DOWN + go under zero level + strong ratio

Volume = down

Hi Recidiviste,

I just put the last version of Progress you are not obliged to download it but if you do , the files of Progress that have changed are :
in root folder : GJ_Command.exe , PG_EntryRules.dll
in experts folder : PG_Expert.ex4 ,
in experts/files : PG_Engines.csv
in folder experts/files/rules/input CRules.h
in expert/files/rules/output CRules.o CSignals.o Entry_Rules.o

Let's start with your example Tma 10.2 Slope :

First of all let's define Our Engine and after the rule , for this I choose to have an engine for the Buy operation and an engine for the Sell operation :


1- Define the Engine (We call it A , it already exists in the example we are going to take it and change it) :


To be able to define or modify an engine Exit all currently running sessions,. Here you can do it by exiting one by one all the sessions or the command Exit All.


Our engine consists of One buy of 0.1 lot with a profit of 100 dollars (which is 1 %).



You click on Designer and you can see all the tree engines as in the picture below and let's choose the A BUY entry.


Direction : Forward (it is not important here as we only make one buy)
Direction Type : MinMax
Recover Mode : C (it is a constant 0.1)
Max Count : 1 (we only do one buy trade)
Pip Step : -1 (It is not important we only do one buy)
Exit BuyRule : -1 ( we set to -1 as we don't have any rule on exit except the min profit that is 100 that is
Min BuyProfit : 100

that's all for the A BUY Engine :

look at the picture




after modification we have this :





Once you finished with the A BUY Engine we do the same for A SELL engine but we have this time Exit Sell rule that is set to -1 and the SELL min profit that is set to 100

This is the easy part....

Now we finished to define our engines let's program our A RULE


2- Define the A Rule

In the tab entry just double click on the A Rule Entry in the Rule trees and you will see code corresponding to the previous A Rule... we will delete everything inside the function as we want to code your example :

We leave only the entry call of the function as we are going to write code inside :


void R_A_RULE ()
{
}

let's take your rules :






we begin with the BUY one :

BUY

tma = red + cross zero + green

velocity = UP + go over zero level + strong ratio

volume = down

tma = red + cross zero + green

Ok here in Progress we can't go back more that one bar in history as we can see only the Previous bar. (It can be done but I don't thing it is really needed as it takes more time for processing ) specially that the TMA slope repaint ... so here how I see it and it the same ...



tma = green and previous tma in range (is enough)

tma green ===> AndS (TMA_T_S, S_BULL, P_M15)

previous tma gray is : AndPS (TMA_T_S, S_RANGE, P_M15)

so my start engine condition is when I have these 2 conditions let's write it :


if (AndS (TMA_T_S, S_BULL, P_M15) && AndPS (TMA_T_S, S_RANGE, P_M15))
Set_Rule (OP_BUY, T_START, R_A, P_SIGNAL);


Here I start my session corresponding to the A Engine but I don't do any buy trade as I need a A Rule Buy to execute the trade ... Look at the entry of BuyRule of the A BUY Engine : it is set to A

But the buy rule is the same let's write it :

if (AndS (TMA_T_S, S_BULL, P_M15) && AndPS (TMA_T_S, S_RANGE, P_M15))
Set_Rule (OP_BUY, T_STATUS, R_A, P_SIGNAL);


Here my start rule and my buy rule don't take in account the volume and the velocity .... so we need to add conditions here it is :

velocity = UP + go over zero level + strong ratio


The velocity is best tested in P_M5 but ok as you want it in P_M15 it is all right :

velocity = UP ===> AndS (VELOCITY, S_UP, P_M15)

go over 0 ===> SValue (VELOCITY, S_CURRENT, P_M15) > 0 or AndS (VELOCITY, S_ABOVE, P_M15) (it is the same)

strong ratio ===> SValue (VELOCITY, S_CURRENT, P_M15) - SValue (VELOCITY, S_PREVIOUS, P_M15) > 6 (I choose 6 here because I take for the P_M5 the value 4... it is a strong acceleration )

So let's add it to the slope condition :

if (AndS (TMA_T_S, S_BULL, P_M15) &&
AndPS (TMA_T_S, S_RANGE, P_M15) && // slope condition
AndS (VELOCITY, S_UP, P_M15) &&
AndS (VELOCITY, S_ABOVE, P_M15) &&
SValue (VELOCITY, S_CURRENT, P_M15) - SValue (VELOCITY, S_PREVIOUS, P_M15) > 6)
Set_Rule (OP_BUY, T_STATUS, R_A, P_SIGNAL);

volume = down



Here when you say the volume down , it means that it is only down but usually when you have a strong acceleration the volume is up ! .. So let me just add it as you want :

volume down ==> AndS (VOLUME, S_DOWN, P_M15)

My start rule and my buy rule are the same so let's write it :

void R_A_RULE ()
{



<b>

// ========START AND BUY RULE FOR MY A BUY ENGINE ============

</b>

if (AndS (TMA_T_S, S_BULL, P_M15) &&
AndPS (TMA_T_S, S_RANGE, P_M15) && // slope condition
AndS (VELOCITY, S_UP, P_M15) &&
AndS (VELOCITY, S_ABOVE, P_M15) &&
SValue (VELOCITY, S_CURRENT, P_M15) - SValue (VELOCITY, S_PREVIOUS, P_M15) > 6 &&
AndS (VOLUME, S_DOWN, P_M15))
{
Set_Rule (OP_BUY, T_START, R_A, P_SIGNAL); // start
Set_Rule (OP_BUY, T_STATUS, R_A, P_SIGNAL); // buy
}

}

for my sell engine it is almost the same except for the things in bold :
if (AndS (TMA_T_S, S_BEAR, P_M15) &&
AndPS (TMA_T_S, S_RANGE, P_M15) && // slope condition
AndS (VELOCITY, S_UP, P_M15) &&
AndS (VELOCITY, S_BELOW, P_M15) &&
SValue (VELOCITY, S_CURRENT, P_M15) - SValue (VELOCITY, S_PREVIOUS, P_M15) < -6 &&
AndS (VOLUME, S_DOWN, P_M15))
{
Set_Rule (OP_SELL, T_START, R_A, P_SIGNAL); // start
Set_Rule (OP_SELL, T_STATUS, R_A, P_SIGNAL); // sell
}


my function is now :

void R_A_RULE ()
{

// ========START AND BUY RULE FOR MY A BUY ENGINE ============

if (AndS (TMA_T_S, S_BULL, P_M15) &&
AndPS (TMA_T_S, S_RANGE, P_M15) && // slope condition
AndS (VELOCITY, S_UP, P_M15) &&
AndS (VELOCITY, S_ABOVE, P_M15) &&
SValue (VELOCITY, S_CURRENT, P_M15) - SValue (VELOCITY, S_PREVIOUS, P_M15) > 6 &&
AndS (VOLUME, S_DOWN, P_M15))
{
Set_Rule (OP_BUY, T_START, R_A, P_SIGNAL); // start
Set_Rule (OP_BUY, T_STATUS, R_A, P_SIGNAL); // buy
}

// ========START AND SELL RULE FOR MY A SELL ENGINE ============

if (AndS (TMA_T_S, S_BEAR, P_M15) &&
AndPS (TMA_T_S, S_RANGE, P_M15) && // slope condition
AndS (VELOCITY, S_UP, P_M15) &&
AndS (VELOCITY, S_BELOW, P_M15) &&
SValue (VELOCITY, S_CURRENT, P_M15) - SValue (VELOCITY, S_PREVIOUS, P_M15) < -6 &&
AndS (VOLUME, S_DOWN, P_M15))
{
Set_Rule (OP_SELL, T_START, R_A, P_SIGNAL); // start
Set_Rule (OP_SELL, T_STATUS, R_A, P_SIGNAL); // sell
}

}

Now do a copy paste of this in the A RULE if you don't want to type it you should have this in your window :

Once you finished , you click on the compile button ... you should have no errors... it is seen in the small window down ...

to be able to compile you should install the compiler on your machine by executing the mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe program that is deleivered with the Progress package ...

Once this is done , you click to distribute to integrate in the system ... Here it log you off from MT4 platform and it launch it again automatically ...
your rules are now integrated in the system ...

Still one thing look at the picture below :



Here we don't have any stop loss.. once you put the engines to automatic start ... the engines will be launched automatically .. usually when the start rule is met for the A BUY engine the text inside is in green and for the A Sell engine it is in red ... see picture


OK that's it ..

Comin back

hello mrg friends

thanks jurex for your kind explanation

i will do all this asap & revert

have a good day

Hi, I am just curious to know if anyone has used the Progress System Ea ootb just to trade? I tried this on Friday
Looking forward to comments

Jurex - great stuff....

Question: in your post 218 you use "volume down ==> AndS (VOLUME, S_DOWN, P_M15)" as condition to enter for both BUY and SELL - is that correct?

Cheers

Hi mobthehop and thanks,

Yes exact , It is on the request of trader Recidiviste for his example... Volume is down before entering any trade. But I did an error I just realized in the example for the SELL trade it is AndS (VELOCITY, S_DOWN, P_M15) ...

Before I talk about the Progress Indicator again let's finish my example presented in http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...74#post6396874, as I promised you.

The Engine J which do a combined Buy/Sell until it reaches a SELL signal or a BUY Signal and we take profit on a one way trade trying to pick the profit on the opposite trades when reversing.

The idea is to take profit on reversing in a short amount of time , not to be catch from a continuing one way market.

Normally as we exit from one of the 2 ways trade it is because we are almost sure that the market is reversing, and we will exit from the opposite trade with a gain. but Let's see how we can help the process by adding a trade to exit rapidly.


By clicking on the right button on the session J we choose in the menu orders item which chow us all the orders for our Session J see pictures below.






Here are the session J orders :





In my example we can see that we have 60 dollars profit on the Buy trades and 91 loss on my sell trades.. (it should be equal as we did combined buy/sell but the difference is the spread factor). Suppose the engine exit from our buy trades because I had a Sell signal , let's see how we can accelerate the recovery. In the right side , down of my orders Dialog, we have Pips Distance which is set to 10 (but we can change it) , and Volume is 0.19 , this means that I need to Sell 0.20 Lots to recover my 91 Loss in a 10 pips distance. If we are sure that market is going to reverse 10 pips we just click on the Sell Button and we add a trade to the Engine.

Once we did so , and the market did its 10 pips recovering , my session has made the 91 profit and all pips added to my reversing will be added to my profit.

I presented the Progress Indicator the one which I rely for my engines. I don't pretend it is the best indicator but it helps a lot with other trading systems to take a decision.

It is briefly discussed here http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...37#post6340537 as I was more foccused on presenting the system, but let's look at it again :


4-2 Progress Indicator

Progress Indicator works on Extreme Spike and THV fast trix ans slow trix.

It gives a BUY signal whenever we have an Extreme Spike down and fast trix up and slow trix up.





It gives a Exit BUY signal if we have :

1. a minor Extreme Spike up and fast trix down and slow trix down OR
2. an Extreme Spike up and fast trix down.

It gives a SELL signal whenever we have an Extreme Spike up and fast trix down and slow trix down.





It gives a Exit SELL signal if we have :

1. a minor Extreme Spike down and fast trix up and slow trix up OR
2. an Extreme Spike down and fast trix up.

the picture below gives an idea :

The two periods I look on are the H4 and the D1, but let's see how it works :



We go back in time till we see an Extreme Spike , once we found one we look from the point we find it forward to see if we have a Fast Trix and Slow Trix in the same color, if we don't found, we drop this Extreme Spike and we go again backward till the next Extreme Spike and so on ....


Once we found an Extreme Spike followed by a Fast trix and a Slow trix having the same direction we set the progress indicator to Sell or Buy.

Now to confirm our signal we look at the last minor extreme and last extreme, if we the minor extreme is followed by a fast trix and a sell trix having the same color or my last Extreme is followed by a fast trix , I cancel my Buy or sell Signal and I pass to Exit Buy or Sell Signal.


When you launch Progress you can see the lines corresponding to the Progress Signals ...


See the picture below :




The pink Line correspond to the D1 Progress Sell Signal and the DeepPink Line is the H4 Progress Signal .


Now in the PG_System Panel we can see these signals surrounded by an Ellipse :

Look at it :

the H4 shows that we have a Sell Signal when the price was 1.3661 from the date 1 February 20:00 oclock
the D1 shows that the Sell Signal was confirmed when the price was 1.3509 at the date 5 February 00:00 oclock


The D1 signal is very strong. This the base of my trading...

Now combining the D1 and the H4 and my pivots weekly and monthly we ca can reach a very good result.

In our example our H4 Progress Sell signal is upper than the D1 Signal... it means that my D1 Sell signal is a confirmation of the H4 and no need to adventure by taking a long term buy trade.

Whenever we had a H4 buy signal, the line will be in Turquoise and it will be sure under the D1 Sell signal, here :

1. we can analyse the distance between the D1 line and the H4 line combined with the major pivots line to take out our profit from a previous long term Sell trade.
2. We can add an opposite trade for my recovery ...
3. etc..

In the case of a H4 Buy signal , we watch the price between the lines , if it is in the upper part of the distance to see if my H4 Buy signal will generate a D1 Buy signal ...

10-1 Progress Indicator (case study)

Let's look at the actual market and analyse the progress indicator. In the picture below I display only the pivots and the 200 moving average on a 5 minutes chart.

I will just discuss what I see, so you can see how I analyse things with all the informations we have.




Look at the white Rectangles that are numbered :

1- the moving average angle (200) on the 5 minutes chart has an angle of (-2) which tells us we are in a sideway market, here we have a rest after the downside and we are waiting for a signal either to continue the down trend or to returns up....

2- Progress Indicator is giving a Sell Signal for D1 and and an exit Sell Signal for H4

3- Price are under weekly and monthly pivots, and that gives us Sell Signal for H4 and D1 in the NB10.2 system

4- Coral is down for all periods except M1 and M5 ... This is in bold : 3/60 in the panel and means we had a Down market.

5- TMA extreme system is giving us a BUY Signal for period H4

6- THV System is giving us and Exit SELL signal for H4

7- and finally Symphonie is giving a SELL signal for period D1 ...

How can we analyse all these :

Here we are clearly in a down market as 2, 3, 7 are giving a SELL signal. Price is under monthly pivots and weekly pivots... 4 is indicating that the orientation is down as Coral is 60 (M15, ,30, H1, H4). Actually the market is waiting for a signal to see if it corrects up for a while or will continue its down trend. As 5 is giving a Buy Signal that means we are in an extreme zone, all what we can do is wait and see.

10-1 Progress Indicator (case study continued)

I just write an engine related to what I just showed in our case .Look at it and see how it works on the progress indicators and what we have seen. It is not complicated :

#include "cRules.h"
// ================================================================
// J RULE
//

void R_J_RULE ()
{
Set_Rule (OP_BUYSELL, T_START, R_J, P_SIGNAL); // I start the engine at any time no condition , it's a combined buy/sell no worry

// whenever we have these conditions I stay in a BUY/SELL Mode

!OrS (PIVOT_POINT, S_ALERT, P_MN, P_W1)) // I am not in a pivot zone for the weekly and monthly
{
Set_Rule (OP_BUYSELL, T_KEEPBUYSELL, R_J, P_SIGNAL, 0); // I set my the keepbuysell mode to 0 it means that I can exit if my minimum profit for my sell trades is above 100
Set_Rule (OP_EXIT_SELL, T_STATUS, R_J, P_SIGNAL); // I set my exit rule flag to true to be able to exit ...
}


// same thing for the Buy exit

Set_Rule (OP_BUYSELL, T_KEEPBUYSELL, R_J, P_SIGNAL, 0);
Set_Rule (OP_EXIT_BUY, T_STATUS, R_J, P_SIGNAL);
}

// Here in case I exit from one of my trades sell or buy I need to verify that if we exited from my sell trades and we are in a Sell market (D1 Progress is Sell) ,

Set_Rule (OP_EXIT, T_RULE, R_J, P_SIGNAL, -1); // I remove the rule for my exit to be able to exit for a minimum profit of 200 for all my session very quickly ... I don't want to take the risk to wait for the buy trades to make 100 as we are in a D1 SELL
Set_Rule (OP_EXIT, T_MINPROFIT, R_J, P_SIGNAL, 200);
}


// same thing for the rapid Sell exit

if (AndS(PROGRESS, S_BUY, P_D1) &&

{
Set_Rule (OP_EXIT, T_RULE, R_J, P_SIGNAL, -1);
Set_Rule (OP_EXIT, T_MINPROFIT, R_J, P_SIGNAL, 200);
}

}

and here is the engine :

Hi there Jurex,

what should i do if i'd like to use and try this system? can you make an simple instructions what to do in steps?because after reading your posts i see you explaining the functions of your system

thx

Jurex
I also cannot find this file PG_Brokers.csv what what should i do?

Hi micchhaal,


In the first post of this forum you have the progress.rar , you just download it and you read the instructions. the file PG_Brokers.csv is automatically generated the first time you launch the system PG_Expert... (you just drop the expert in your MT4 window) .. In the package I gave 4 rules as examples, it will not be launched as all engines are set to manual at the beginning) so you can try it.

Please tell me if you have problems
