Dee50,

That book (3 Secrets to Trading Momentum Indicators: by Penn) can be downloaded as pdf at http://www.traderslibrary.com/mk/201...nn.pdf?ID=5763 for those who are interested. I went ahead and bought the itunes version so I can highlight areas that are most healpful. Thanks for pointing us in that direction.

Eager to keep learning and enjoying the research very much-

Jason

{quote} Well Dee50 you do know what FF stands for don't you???? Fat F*****s* If I can help I will but not really a coder but I can tell you the exact calculation used to calculate the slopes if thats of any help??? The method to calculate the Gradient is: Divide the change in height by the change in horizontal distance Gradient = Change in Y Change in X {image} Examples: {image} The Gradient of this line = 3 3 = 1 So the Gradient is equal to 1 {image} Gradient = 4 2 = 2 The line is steeper, and so the Gradient is larger. {image} Gradient...
Thanks for the info Clive, I have to admit I am not altogether sure how to asses the information, mainly because at the moment I don't have any to assess. It may be that this sort of analysis would just over complicate what is essentially a simple process of for example, "2 at the top, 5 min over 50, 1min over 30, open a chart and have a look". Does it need to get more involved than that, probably not, but I am going to invest a little time "Just In Case" there might be some thing that helps. Apart from that I am a bit of a Nerd so I will enjoy the process.

Hi Dee50,

not sure how you could integrate the info from TTindi directly into excell but you could write it out to the file system as a CSV file which excellcan import. http://docs.mql4.com/files/filewrite

As for calculating the Gradient the problem I had when I tried to look at it was that the angles change as you zoom in and out of a worksheet. The only rough way I could try and estimate the angle was to take a couple of points say current bar and a bar 4 or 5 back (objectvaluebyshift helped here) work out the difference in value and make this a percentage of the current bar value.

eg

bar 1 value 10
bar 5 ( previous 5 bar value) 15

so bar1 - bar5 = 5
5 as a percentage of 10 = 50%

bar 1 value 10
bar 5 value 12
so bar1 - bar5 = 2
2 as a percentage of 10 = 20%

hence 2sd value is less steep

Pretty basic but only way I could figure it out


Hope this helps

Cheers...Des

EJ +102. straight forward 123 Trade. I left it running thru the news, closed it manually so pure fluke that I caught the top.
EU +26. Pure news trade. This was a difficult one because the employment figure came out before Draghi, he could have cancelled out.

Tomorrows NFP should be really interesting.

With regard to getting data from TTIndy to excel. I am getting closer to a solution. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...ighlight=excel which led to here. https://www.mql5.com/en/code/12015 Any one else researching this other than just me and Friskas or are you all just going to be typical FF and sit around on your asses and let some one else do all the work?

Thanks Des b. I have already downloaded an indi that creates the CSV files and tried it out on the MACD and it works just fine, Thanks for the link my Nerdy juices are beginning to flow. I would agree that trying to assess the actual angle and relate it to the numbers is going to be extremely difficult, particularly as there are an infinite number of variations. I have been taking timed screenshots of the TTindy and a chart and even in a short period of just an hour (60 images) you see differences in the numbers but no discernable difference in the MA. I actually think the solution is much simpler although slightly long winded.

Want to know what I am doing. Then start reading, this electronic book influenced how I read the charts and interpret the Indicators, more than any other. The following PDFs are extracts from a book written by David Fenn. Altogether there are 6 parts that I will upload, just not all at once!. "The 3 Secrets to Trading Momentum Indicators". Read it, don't skip thru it because you think you know what he is going to say next. Part 1. & Part 2. {image} {image}
Thank you very much Dee50 by the didactic material. I'm learning a lot with you in this thread. Greetings.
Those who are sure of the result, can afford to wait without anxiety.

thx des_b,
I read your reasoning and row but I was thinking of a weighted average ...

  • Mar 6, 2015 2:04am Mar 6, 2015 2:04am
also considering the kind explanation from mr clive,
I thought of a weighted average of the angle of the trend, in order to give more weight to a period and have a more balanced trend in the medium term, even for multiday positions.
same thing can be done for brief intervals, on the contrary, for intraday.
however, yesterday I watched a bit of solutions to export the values ​​of Indi to excel.
I found several solutions, in addition to those valid suggested by dee , but have not been able to understand the function iCustum.
I managed to export with standard indicators (MACD, RSI, Stoch ..), but not with an indi customized as TT.
Double, buffer, etc, for me it is very complicated. also here EXPO is coming, and I have several projects that I take time to close.
so if I have to also learn programming, unfortunately I have to postpone this solution at times more relaxed.
already the market is to discover, if we have to put well mql ..there go crazy
back to eu for now
