EA for a 3_Level_ZZ_ Semafor / Trend Tool Combo

Is the TSD Forum still active everytime I try go there Internet Explorer tells me the website/forum doesnt exist. I type in " www.forex-tsd.com".. Do they have a different web address?

Thanks
Theo

Did you pay your $12.00?

I would try firefox - what version of IE are you running?

IE version 7

$12? Is it a pay site now? Was free with a private forum that you have to pay for...

It was a JOKE IIRC their "Elite Section" is $12.00/mo...

Okay...lol

Well every time I go to the forex-tsd.com it never comes up. I thought the forum is no more...

If I have the wrong web address let me know..

Thanks
Theo

hey theo.... the standard 15,5,3 is what i've always used..... asystem2000 3 level...... h

Hi Jeff

In that .zip file you uploaded there is a file "theSecret Alert"

Do you know what that is? or what it does.

Thanks

The secret Alert
It's an arrow alert from an old forum I use to frequent not sure really it's origin though.

forex-tsd.com worked for me- if you google "100-300 pips per day" you should find a really good thread there with a lot of info on the holy grail semafors...

hayseed I tried your link- it defaulted to some message.. nevermind.. google was my friend

Thanks Hayseed for the setting.....

Much appreciated!

Hi Jefftrader, i was hoping your still here somewhere, that indicator that you put up... im having a little trouble loading it up, can you please repost??? thanks

So if the delta is set to 0 for the 3 level zz semafor listed in the 1st post it will not repaint correct?

thank you for the indicators 3 zz semafor plus. for mt4. i have been trying to get the 3 zz for 3 days and every single copy would not work. the other two indicators were a bonus and loaded and worked. well done! tested them and there was no malware or viruses. i can see the 3 zz and non lag indicators really do complement each other and fit with two systems i use. anybody who is following the freebie system from forex factory judge dred and has had problems these two indicators will be a godsend and no blood spilled. thx

Hello there!

Does anybody out there have instructions on how the 3 levels Semaphor indicator works? How does it paint each circle? Under what circumstances? Tried to locate docs for it but I was not possible.


Thanks in advance
Alfonso

It is based on the zig zag indicator (ZZ) and it paints 3 levels of zig zags,

Zig zag calcualtion is discussed here:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=5458753

Thanks for your quick reply, I appreciate that. I read it but didn't understand well. The semaphor indicator is based on the ziz zag but there are no such parameters on the semaphor indicator like deviation and so on. We have Period 1, 2 and 3. There are circles painted of different colors and widths, but its not explained anywhere how those are exactly calculated.

Alfonso

Alfonso,

Suppose ZZ semafor (sic) is set up as follows:

extern double Period1=5;
extern double Period2=13;
extern double Period3=34;
extern string Dev_Step_1="1,3";
extern string Dev_Step_2="8,5";
extern string Dev_Step_3="13,8";
extern int Symbol_1_Kod=140;
extern int Symbol_2_Kod=141;
extern int Symbol_3_Kod=142;

Then it’s the equivalent of having 3 separate instances of Zigzag, with their settings as follows:

(1)
extern int ExtDepth=5;
extern int ExtDeviation=1;
extern int ExtBackstep=3;

(2)
extern int ExtDepth=13;
extern int ExtDeviation=8;
extern int ExtBackstep=5;

(3)
extern int ExtDepth=34;
extern int ExtDeviation=13;
extern int ExtBackstep=8;

At least that's what the programmer appears to have intended it to do, but there may be some minor bugs in the code. Put the ZZ semafor, and also the 3 instances of the zigzag with different colored lines, on the same chart, and you'll see what I mean. (see attached screenshot)

The settings 140, 141 and 142 represent the Wingdings characters — (1) (2) and (3) — that are plotted at the swing highs and lows. There's a Wingdings character chart at the end of this post.

However, IMO the ZZ semafor indicator is useless, for the reasons I gave here.

Hanover, big thanks for your generous explanation of the Semafor indicator. I've been using this repainting helper for several years now with good success (thanks to asystem2000). I've finally come up with a strategy that more strongly compliments its 'jerky' nature. My current tests of the EA is great especially on the gbpusd pair. (H1) I'll share same if it continues to prove profitable. I rarely lose manually trading it on H4 (slightly different trading), so, let's see how the EA performs on H1 in the long run. To clarify, on H4, I exit in the median line of the Bollinger Bands. It is the 'sweet spot' for profit taking.

Semafor is very very powerful tool..
if some one use it with currency strength & correlation results will be awesome...
...
EA may be not that useful, Semafor all pairs Dash Board or Supply and Demand Dashboard with ATR or ADX works great..
---
but for manual trading on higher time frames give us highend technical analysis,
---
two time frame supply demand zone indicator or two time frame Semafore ball 3 at top or bottom working in same manner, if it happen(comes together 50% fib retrace is confirmed.
.....
for curve finding..
their are only two indicator which are really works great all the time on higher time frame (1H, 4H, 1D, 1W)
Center of Gravity and Linear Reintegration (Available in Line, Tunnel, Channel)
....

Still love the semafor indi by asystem2000. My favorite settings :11, 27, 69 trade well on Renko bars (Brick 20, M2), Ichimoku, Bulls/Bears Power (combined in one window) and HeikenAshiSmoothed (3,3,3,2), Bollinger Bands, barrow-swing. Beautiful combo!

exactly..
i forget this to mention in above.. i am still newbie to forex.. what i learnt and learning is not enough.
All time have one common thing its grid or Ranko boxes.. booth them are playing very important part in making trading decisions.
