{quote} And, actually, the Coppock Curve is a MACD type indicator, only a bit cleverer. It's essentially an average of two different MACDs, but using WMA instead of EMA.
Nice how both Coppock and Constance Brown worked out how to improve on those basic indicators...

Indeed, and this is what I get by combining the ideas of Brown and Coppock.

One minute chart from the morning of Friday 12 February.

I like it - the Medici Curve.....guess its on a PRT chart.....a MT4 version would be great......

Meanwhile, Cat and Revoli have got be back with seconds charts......3 / minute seems a good balance to help sharpen entries and I'm also trying buy / sell stops.......

i don't do MT4 anymore, but here's the PRT code if anybody wants to have a go porting it to MT4:


a = RSI[14](close)
b = a - a[14]
c = a - a[11]
d = WeightedAverage[10](b+c)
return d

Hello

I can't get the seconds chart to work. I put the files in the folders. What should I do next?
I get an error from the expert advisor:

If I remember correctly the EA does give an error message before it starts to send info to the off line chart, so give it say 5 mins before seeing if the off-line chart can be opened.

If that doesn't work then check out the thread where I found the EA....

Good luck

Ok now I understood that this only happens if I change the time of the chart after I put the EA.
Thank you

Well done for working it out.....Off Line charts ARE different - just one of MT4s shortcomings....

Agreed - but as I post a lot in a room helping other newer traders, I stay with MT4 for that..... and if I do go sans vetements then its not so important

Naked with a splash of 20sec charts?
  • #5,298
  • Feb 29, 2016 3:37am Feb 29, 2016 3:37am
Dumped the 20 secs charts - not needed, 1m is sufficient with levels. Researching Naked on 5m for EyeVoltage Style entries.

Trades taken in the marked bars in hit and run mode during consolidation.......M's suggestion of placing Buy / Sell Stops worked well

Agreed, but what is needed? That depends on noise vs information in the market.

One way of exploring that is by either range bars or the Zig-Zag indicator. For DAX, most of the time a 10 point stop is sufficient (I've tried tighter for a long time, and, while possible, it's too much work.)

So put an 8 point ZZ on a 10 sec chart (see below), to verify this.

Then look for a time resolution where the ATR is around or slightly less than 8 points. Below you can find 1 min and 30 sec. As evident, 30 sec would be the time frame which would give you the resolution to trade with a 10 point stop, while avoiding unnecessary whipsaws.

Worked well for me too for the 10am spunk fest 50 point TP hit before I had a chance to move it.

I have been asked to post TRO's Tunnel / Dagon indicator - there are several versions, here's one. IF you are looking for TAH's version then you'll find it in Sonicdeejay's thread...http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=114792

I dont use either - just plot the Allaverages twice, using Price 2 and Price 3 to set the chart to the bar's High and the bar's Low.
