Kopratasa EA & BDM

[quote=Mooz;8349979] She/Ding created the first/only dash to offer anchor 'family' buy/sell feature on her dashfibo version...
which was awesome and unique.
until
exiao adapted a version of Ultimate with it.
Now you can choose either and have that same ability.
Other than that... I like them both.

GVC/HP are working on better signaling on the next versions using heat map/cs & correlation so I am looking forward to that.
For the moment, I'm taking manual signals from/experimenting with the MADdash...
which is very similarly 'used' like HP's Kopratasa.
The 'math' is of course different, but the grouped signal displays are similar.
It takes some getting used to but I'm working on it.

I was happy to discover the thread introducing the MADdash...
it was perfect timing for me.... as it allows MA agreement on 1m - 1H (only) (or whatever tf's you want/set)
and that was exactly what I was trying to accomplish w/ the Ultimate auto at the time..
signals can be adjusted from crazy/aggressive to conservative D/W/M 200 sma... whatever.
So I jumped on it and am still riding it.

Exits (Part 1)

I've not got much to do this weekend
so
I thought I'd compose this post and edit it over the next 24/48 to put out some ideas.

Most of these dashboards/platforms are revolving/focusing on entries.... and making amazing progress.
But... exits are a problem remaining unsolved.... and NONE are (really) 'price action' based.
Caveat: ANY exit strategy can only be based on probability... that's the 'best' we can EVER hope to do..

But at the moment, ALL are based on kind of a 'shotgun' approach rather than a 'rifle' if you know what I mean.

There's the 'basket' idea... which is definitely a shotgun approach... hoping for more 'good' then 'bad' entries.

There's the ADR approach/pair based... but which again is (hoping) for a % of range... but that greatly depends on how 'early' you set an entry.

There's the Fibo concept/pair based... allowing for/hoping for a % of retrace.... but not knowing WHICH 'key' % will/can be accomplished & is more higher tf appropriate rather than for intra day trading (ie NOT relevant to most platforms/strength metering entries & intra-day trends)

There's the S&R approach/pair based... which has merit but is looking 'backward' for insight....
either 'static' S&R's like consolidation zones/channels/murry math/camarilla, over bought/sold zones of CCI/RSIetc...
or
'dynamic' S&R's like MA's, Bollingers etc.

It's kind of a blind spot... maybe it always will be.
It's definitely the 'elephant in the room'... the 'black hole' that remains a key issue to make some progress with.

I have a suggestion/idea to play with/discuss and will come back to present/describe it.
The problem: It has never been able to be 'coded'... and I'm not sure why.
I'm speaking of an 'auto-exit'... something that almost EVERY ea bot designed desperately needs but (usually) fails to accomplish.
Can something like that be created? (see my sig )
I'll be back and do a part 2 w/ PRETTY PICTURES later.

Excellent......... I am All In.........
Let's do the heavy lifting now while it is easy.....
Focus on The Exit
Waiting on part 2 ........ G

G thougjt you would be out spending some of those profits this weekend

Exits (Part 2)

HA Stretch Candles

I use this visually and have for a long time in trading.
I THINK it can be translated into 'numbers' and coded.

I call them HA Stretch Candle exits. They can and do occur on all time frames. (Primarily I look for them on the 5m and 15m)
They are OFTEN excellent reversal points.

There are some 'rules' I've developed from experience with them but here's the basics.

A 5m Chart


Here are just the HA candle bodies using an MA1 for candle high and candle low to better show ratio and distance.

A 15M Chart




So, a challenge to the coders among us:
Forget the ea for now... there's definitely 'rules' to all this.

Let's see if a basic indicator can be coded to simply put a little dot or star over the stretch candles on a static chart.
Code/upload to here (if you don't mind HP?)
I would love to see this happen.

Cheers,
G.

Exits (Part 3)

@ All
We're going to move this topic over to a new thread: BDM Trading Tips,Trick and Development.
Cheers to HP for the idea and interest.
G.

Sounds Good GEGo for it.........I have already subsribedOn another note I have been thinking about your post and I have ideals to share. So I will address the new forumCheers

Unfair, took positions on friday.
Have to reset the equity file.

awwwww.... too bad!!

Great Problem to have HP.........

My BDM ea no longer works neither BDMv1.12.ex4 nor BDMv1.13.ex4 nor BDMv1.14.ex4

Update coming.

Take this one for now, maybe still some little quirks.....

HP, Kopratasav1.18.ex4 has also stopped working.

Please help.

Hi HP:
BDMv1.15 - sometimes when all charts are already closed the Singles button does not return

I am sorry, i was surprised this morning also.
It is a piece of code i left in a include file.

I will put a new complete package in post #1 for download asap.

Just realized that this code is used in 99% of my sources.

Thanks, i'll have a look at that.
1.15 is a bit of a beta version.
At least this version knows how to find abandoned chart if you restart or reload it.
Sometimes i had to stop and restart the terminal leaving me with fi. 28 charts that i had to close manually.
BDM now knows how to find and close them upon restart.

Sincerely grateful for your response.

In the meantime use these.
Just leave the Selection type param to Simple.
Still working on strength selection.

Hp, thx....does basket writer go into the write file or the indicator file?

Basketwriter is an indicator, if you want to use it from te Kopratasa EA you should assign a hotkey to it.

Thx.....Hp
