This is one of the problems with too many programmers coding versions independantly. I posted a version years ago, 4.1 or earlier, that had inputs for suffix and prefix so the "m" from IBFX only needs to be entered as the suffix. For some reason people aer still using the olde version. I also have a version that detects the pairs the broker allows with no need of prefix or suffix. I do not know if I posted but apparently that one is also not being used. I now have 4 different versions of this using different ideas for strength and they all work...

Hello MrPip.

Are you still trading this system?

If yes what indi you are using and is still profitable?

Hi everyone Is anyone else live trading CCf relative strength as their main system? After very extensive testing I have decided to ditch all other strategies
//----

hey jm..... the ccfp indicator , and most all versions that followed , are based on moving averages..... fxrambler gave us the first, along with his neat method of doing the math......

the common complaint on using moving averages is of course that they lag..... in my mind, the pro's of moving averages far out weighs the con's......

you can apply his same math far beyond moving averages by substituting in indicator types.... perhaps oscillator and momentum types.....

my preference is in the picture below.... fxramblers ccfp in the small chart, with all the values on each timeframe, 15 thru 1440, below in an auto sorting dashboard.... a suggestion would be to colorize the currencies, such as eur blue, usd green and so on..... this way at a glance by color you can see where they stand..... one of the videos below is colorized, one is not you can see the difference.....

the weakness in using strength in trading is the long wait for new signals..... boredom and impulse trading often sets in...... but as you mentioned, it is an excellent "springboard"....... a private variation of the ccfp is something i use everyday in real life trading......

here are some youtube videos of the picture below in action using the screenshot function.... h

Hayseed,
Thanks for the links.
I was looking at coding a dashboard (heatmap) myself.
I have tested already with momentum supplied by MT4 and the formula from TASC works much better.
I will look at the source code version to see how the code compares to mine.

If the indies are not available I can code them when time allows.
Mostly output postioning as the numbers are already calculated.

BTW, for those who want only pair on chart I can recode the 4.1 or later version to remove excess code not needed.
That might speed up the indicator enough to reduce the overhead when placed on a lot of charts.

Maybe I can help?

Are you putting the indi in your MQL4/indicators folder (of your MT4 platform)?

There are no lines showing if you go back more then 3 weeks or so.

Here's MrPip's new indi on my chart:

I zoomed in on your chart and I see an "i" at the end of the symbol name, similar to the m with IBFX.

Enter the letter i without quotes in the symbol_suffix input.

Also change All_Bars from 1000 to what number you want like 300 or ...

When time allows I will add the code to not require this.
My only concern is that it does add a little overhead.

yes, been programming since mid 70's as a software engineer and mathematical analyst as well as IT but IT only because I helped develop early versions of dBase. Robert
Sounds wonderful, although I'm not sure what dBase even is!

Say, any chance you would like to work on an EA with me, and perhaps a small team of people? I apologize in advance for asking because I know that's not the point of this thread, but figured it's worth a shot. It's going to be da bomb, and I am intent on producing it

Hi Guys,
Great thread. I am brand new to trading and am very happy to have found this thread and also the CCFp indi.
I am wanting to download this indi i.e. V1.0.2a [from page 7/post 127 Mr Pip] but failing to do so. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and would be grateful if someone can show me how its done. This is how I download an indi :

Right click on indi>>>save as>>>select C drive>>>programme>>>add broker>>>select experts>>>select indi>>>then save file. This should appear in the customs indi section, but it does not. Will someone please assist me with this download. Thankx.

I tried to add the indicator, it won't show in the indicator's list. It is in the indicator folder, I can compile it but it gives me no error but a warning saying price hide declaration...

It says that for every indicator I try to add, I have the build 646, is it the latest? I haven't add an indicator for a long time, did the process changed?

Thank you!
