Then maybe you should take it up with that "one person" through a PM. I want no part of this kind of pettiness in this thread - I can't control what other people post and share here. Move on, please.

A quick update to those people interested in my efforts to have the correl8 indicator modified.

I have spent most of Friday in discussion with the programmer, sorting out the logic and functionality, what user inputs there will be and so on. I should have a working version by mid next week to test so I will keep you updated as things progress on that front.

Further to this, the programmer will be developing an EA for those who love to auto trade. I know I said that I didn't think an EA should be attempted out of this, but it seems the logic can be coded in such a way that it makes an EA possible, contrary to what I initially thought.

This is quite a way off of course, but for now I will just say that it will provide a comprehensive suite of features, including but not limited to: session trading time filter, news filter, a visual matrix showing currency strength alerts for all TF's, a nicely designed and fully functional trade manager, full user input flexibility to test out different settings for different currency pairs / TF's and much more.

I welcome people's input toward the development of this, through sharing their ideas and suggestions for what functions they would like to see added in.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone.

Hi kirkleaforex,

Correlation is not Correllation. 1 L not 2 L.

I also interest in correlation thing so i want to add that:

You should let market guide you, unless you control this forex market (i believe you don't)

because i see you specify number 14 in period, 14 x M5 = 1 hours 10 minutes, 14 x H1 = 14 hours, what does it mean? what 14 important?

-> solution: make a auto-correlation script, it help you find a period, like i did

You should choose pairs that matter most only

take a look at this: http://www.bloombergindices.com/currency/ (google Bloomberg Terminal if you don't know)

Watch how price react that correlation zone, not the price action itself.

because when you discover price correlation, you are late

there is a quote: Never trust the first price - from Agustin Silvani's book

Well this is all rather interesting!

Thanks Zelo...I will look more into this...we are on a long weekend here in Australia - Public Holiday on Monday, so I will be busy doing personal stuff until late Monday here, but next week I will start looking what you have provided in earnest.

Do you have that script that you can share here, or is it something you paid for and cannot share? If you are able to share more on your system for the benefit of others here, please consider.

Many thanks for your contribution. I have a lot to learn from people like yourself. I am trying to keep this thread as simple as possible, but I am sure your ideas can find their way into the mix somehow!

I agree with the last post...this is certainly beyond me. Some people have suggested changing the currency suffix. Do a quick search for the word "suffix" in this thread and follow the suggestions if you haven't already. Failing that, i would approach your broker support and ask them. Good luck with getting it sorted...and if you do manage to have it fixed, please share your findings here for the benefit of others here having the same problem.

Hi Kirk,

Great thread, looking forward to testing your ideas in demo and seeing how we can improve the indicator and functions.

Any updates either on your trading or the indicator/ea itself?

Thanks

Hey Aftermath thanks for your comments and welcome to the thread. It is pretty quiet in here and I'm not helping much as i have been quite busy myself. Hoping to have my EA prototype tomorrow for testing but it is taking my guy longer than expected.I look forward to keeping everyone updated as soon as i know more...stay tuned.I have been playing around with TDI and Synergy Pro in conjunction with the correl8 indi and it is really promising. As much as i was trying to keep my strategy as simple as possible, sometimes currency strength doesn't tell the whole story. If you already have the Synergy Pro system in your arsenal, try adding to it. You may be pleased with the results. I am lookjng at scalping using the 1M and 5M when they agree.

Kirk:

I am surprised that this thread does not have more interest currently as what you have shown seems quite promising. I will give this a backtest on multiple time frames starting with the majors. I'm still wondering whether or not Non-USD crosses do not work as well as the USD ones.

Anecdotally it would seem to me that this might work better on lower TF as the divergence on the lower TF 5/15/1H will allow you to capture that "spike" earlier than you would if you're waiting on the daily although the daily would be more ideal if you cannot sit in front of your computer all day long. If this works well on a daily then a lot more currency pairs can come into play, if it is most efficient on a <1HR Timeframe, we do not need more than a few currency pairs to monitor. Nailing that down first will help focus where you want this to go.

It's interesting you mention TDI as it is one of the core indicators that I use and I was already thinking of somehow combining it with correl before you mentioned it here. Simple Stress Free TDI System or just the original TMS thread ideas combined with this could potentially provide even better signals.

Let me know if there is anything I can help with and please do not let this thread die, if you find that nobody else is interested PM me and I will gladly continue working on this with you in private if that pleases you.

Thank You

Why do you need to add the TDI? Does your previous strategy of multiple time frames not work?

I agree with Aftermath, am surprised that this thread does not have more interest.
I'm using the Correl8b mod with the Daily chart and no other indicators to confuse
things. I use Synergy Average Price Bars, (similar to Heiken Ashi candles), look for
a move up, then a reversal with a change of candle color and the Correl8b mod
indicator to make the cross over to confirm the move down. Very simple.

That sounds really interesting. Can you show us some charts? What's your money management like i.e sl/tp and how much risked on a trade?

Just patiently wait for the price to move down near my target. I hope the chart

to me infront of the monitor.

You can solve the suffix problems here in the code. My suffix was "-ECN". After change, press Compile button.

{quote} Why do you need to add the TDI? Does your previous strategy of multiple time frames not work?
Hi Ygr. As this thread is continually evolving I am always seeking ways to improve my trading and therefore need to be flexible when choosing how to best arm myself for what can be a challenging game. If trading was easy, we would all be squillionaires; but I freely admit I am not one of the lucky 5% at the top!

I am constantly looking for ways to refine and increase my edge. I try not to use too many indicators as this can be counter-productive, but there are several that are my "go to" indis that I know are going to produce some results.

I see the correl indi as an exceptional tool on its' own on larger time frames, however for short term I am finding it needs to be paired with something else. Currency strength on it's own tells part of the story, but doesn't eliminate the problem of whipsaws and short-term "noise".

If somebody wants to use the correl8 indi as a scalping method, I suggest a multiple time frame 1M and 5M, even 5M and 15M, in combination with some of the Synergy Pro indis. I don't use the Synergy Pro Volatility indi; I use the correl8 in place of that. I find that the correl8 indi settings I use, i.e. enter trade at start of new candle once separation of the two line values >=52 is a great way to spot trade entries, and especially so when used in conjunction with the Synergy Pro TDI. A simple back-test will show this.

Sorry I know this was a rather "wordy" reply but I like to be thorough in my answers so everybody who reads clearly understands my method and motivation for doing things.
