Similarity: A Practical Approach

I think you can evaluate all tf while the code is just longer, but as you evaluate one tf, can assess all. It takes all the values ​​of all tf prices and from there, noting the expression indicating the similarity and point out the mathematical expression to indicate the similarity. The problem perhaps is that we must be constantly downloading data to evaluate whether or not similarity. Of course we know in advance that EURUSD is persistent in all tf as a track that has been used EURUSDD is that all tf.

{quote} I agree, so whatever we use, do we need to see dissimilarity from the top down, or from the bottom up? Connie Brown says we should look for indicator anomalies from the Month down to your trading frame. So if you see dissimilarity from on the monthly, weekly, daily, and finally hourly time frame we should pull the trigger. Do you agree or would you look from M1 up?
Great question. I've had numerous traders say to me Top Down, ie. Month > Week > Day > 4H > 1H > 15M > 5M > 1M. That covers all bases I think. Even from a non-SM point of view, if you were a 1M scalper... wouldn't you want to know that the entire week has been an UP move and therefore your scalp targets are all going to be Longish?

I know some people use different combinations as well... eg. Day > 4H > 2H > 1H or 1H > 30M > 15M > 5M
Doesn't really matter. What if for example, Eurusd was bull for 6 months then we got a DS on the current month....wouldn't that impact on every other timeframe eventually? And sooner rather than later?

Any thoughts on this EURUSD 4 hr?

Blue/orange rectangles, inserted by me, show double fractals (orange are a group of 4 )
Pink zones are dis zones created by indicator and they appear before/mark a major change in trend

The use of indicators may delay the answer, but we must also take into account that using small tf prices may bring more noise

hi vlady, good to see you here, its just the fractals indicator (Bill Williams, already presnt in MT4 indicators). I have never used it so keen to understand what Juhanimi is showing us. From what I can on the chart see those double fractals could imply a change of trend a good percentage of the time.

That's true, so top down would be the more logical choice. As the zones become tighter with the smaller timeframes we will eventually get to a very small window as the price target for our next trade.

The coders might already be working on this, but it appears what we need is MTF DZ indicator. Something we can put in the corner of the chart and as zones light up we can see it. Do you think that is doable xixi?

Quote: THE SIMILARITY PRINCIPLE!!!

Let X(n) be a random/pseudo-random process that satisfies - certain well-defined conditions (known as the fractal-conditions). Let F and G be functions that satisfy the Black-conditions and agree almost surely on the set {X(n)| n>0}. Then the set of values on which F and G do not agree is a predictor of the process.

One has to construct F and G, continuously as the process evolves or use the back-door approach to extend F and G. This is the hardest part!!!
If you can construct good candidates for F & G, then you are close!!!
------------------------------------ --------

​This principle is good and applicable to forex-trading. The price-process of EURUSD satisfies 8/10 of the fractal-conditions!



You need to find indicators F & G that can read all time frames one one time frame.

{quote} Let's expand this a bit more. WHAT IS PRICE? For MT4... price is a discrete value.... but actually.... on a charting software. "PRICE" is actually a co-ordinate. X/Y.... x is a nominal value against time. TIME then is your problem. Because Time is relative.... but it defines the price HISTORY. So really.... Dissimilarity is a disruption in the flow of historical trend. Maybe we are wrong... we have to find a way to flatten price into one index to allocate to price? Will dissimilarities at the 5M ripple up into one big dissimilarity in...

Your describing Point and figure/Renko charts. Since these charts do not require Time, its ideal for identifying Support/Resistance.

{quote} Your describing Point and figure/Renko charts. Since these charts do not require Time, its ideal for identifying Support/Resistance.
I like to trade in the direction of the Renko if I can as I read once that renko candles continue in same direction 79 % of time.

I have attached the PRT charts I was using to trade from last week before i came across the similarity thread. It shows the Renko chart that I keep in front of me. Note the upward trend since 9th July and the fib retracement numbers. Sometimes I trade against it but I am careful.

{quote} Xixi, The indicator's formula is correct. The 60% figure he seems to be referring to, must be the other TF's that are not being analyzed.
I'm not sure. MTF maybe a part of the system but nobody know what correct formula is except Eurusdd.
