I'm enjoying this forum very much and learning alot. I keep hearing about the usefullness of the ITrend Indicator. It would be great if someone could help convert this indicator to CTL language for Chart Studio. Unless, of course, this is a useless indicator. Any opinions are welcomed.

I've uploaded the code I found onto Word.

Thank you very much,

J. Anistro

Would it be possible to create a trend line indicator based on Larry Pesaventos AB CD trend line indicator.
The trend line is drawn from the swing high to swing low and then to the next swing high, A to B, B to C then the indicator would automatically draw the "C to D line being the future measurement of the same length as A to B.
In Ensign the indicator is optioned with a C to D move equal to A to B (100%) or then any higher increment desired eg 1.272%, 1.618% etc.

Many thank to anyone who is willing to have a look at this great trend line forecaster.
Regards
Lindsay

I am looking at Metatrader right now, and there is an option "enable maximum deviation from quoted price"... couldn't this kind of thing be used to prevent massive slippage (of course the order wouldn't be executed... but who wants an order executed that is slipped 50+ pips?)

or do many brokers not offer this feature? If not, is it common or uncommon to have such a feature on non-MT4 platforms?
Unfortunately, that feature does not prevent slippage. It might prevent a requote if the price moves a couple of pips, but not slippage. Slippage often occurs when someone sets a buy or sell stop order at a specific price. If the market jumps past that price, it never traded at your order. Usually, the order executes at the next available tick. That's the appropriate way to do things. This can also happen with market orders where you place your order the moment the jump occurs.

The thing to watch out for is brokers that slip you purposefully, or are slow to execute. I felt that I had this experience with FXDD, which is why I left them so quickly. I would watch as the price would move several ticks past my order, then jump and my order would still not execute. The "next available tick" story they gave me was bogus since I was right there watching the ticks come through. So, you have to pay close attention. Slippage is a fact of the market, and probably more prevalent in August with it's lower than usual liquidity.

Call me paranoid, but, I have experts that manage my stops for me now. I never place a stop loss in the order itself unless I'm concerned about my expert going down for any reason.

AWCMON- What I was trying to say is that when I'm sitting in front of my terminal and have a position open, I'll have a "mental" stop. This basically just means that I tell myself if the pair trades to a certain price, I will close the position manually. I do this because there is no way to run my stop because it is impossible for them to know where it is. When you place a hard stop (meaning you place a stop order with your broker), they know where your stop is, and thus can fudge the numbers to hit it. I'm not saying that this does or doesn't happen, all I'm saying is that having mental stops totally prevents the possibility of it occuring.

When I leave my terminal, such as to run errands, then I'll put a hard stop on. As far as spikes are concerned, if a currency pair can spike 50+ pips before I can even click the mouse one time to close a trade, I have much much bigger problems then just getting a bad stop.

Hi, what I mean is wouldn't that feature prevent the order from being executed altogether? If you would like get in within say max 20 pips of your desired price, then setting this would prevent you getting filled altogether if there is no offer within 20 pips of your price... or am I understanding this wrong?

I wonder if anyone has or knows of a program for pattern recognition for Dealbook.Or even a program that would help to draw out the outline of the patterns and associatied % moves.
An example is in Ensign it will help you draw and colour a Gartley pattern for example.

GFT does offer mini accounts and mini lots on regular accounts in increments of 10k, 25k, and 50k lots. Just fill out a Base 10 trading authorization form. You can get this form at their site in pdf format.

Does anyone out there now how to write a program for an indicator called "relative vigor index"? I found it online, but it isn't in the right language for GFT. I'm an idiot as far as computer language is concerned, so here is the language as I found it:

Type : Indicator, Name : Relative Vigor Index
inputs:
Length( 10 ) ;
variables:
Change( 0 ),
MyRange( 0 ),
Num( 0 ),
Den( 0 ),
RVI( 0 ),
RVISig( 0 ) ;
Change = Close - Open ;
MyRange = High - Low ;
Value1 = TriAverage_gen( Change, 4 ) ;
Value2 = TriAverage_gen( MyRange, 4 ) ;
Num = Summation( Value1, Length ) ;
Den = Summation( Value2, Length ) ;
if Den > 0 then
RVI = Num / Den ;
RVISig = TriAverage_gen( RVI, 4 ) ;
Plot1( RVI, "RVI" ) ;
Plot2( RVISig, "Sig" ) ;
