trade4fun, I figure if it repaints you'll have this problem. Notes on the indicator alert: I coded the alert to look at last two bars. So on open, it would look at last two bars. If last bar closed red, and bar before that closed not-red, alert user ...

cadolino, Try this and let me know if it works for you. If the indicator changes color on an already closed bar/candle, then it is a repainting indicator. Please let us know if this is any different than trend indicator that has been used in thread ...

Kos, When people look at what Julius gave, they look at the method and some don't pay much attention to profit-locking. Me, I like it so much that I think that's as important as the T101 original strategy or any variations of it. In fact, I've ...

Indicators development for T101's not very simple method

it would seem to be a pretty easy thing. But questions come in "Do you wait for candle close or not?", "What timeframe to use?", you know, those "little" questions that do affect outcome and make everything no so cut and dry. I showed you the H1 ...

charvo, If using Buys or Sells line and not Total line, then profit-locking would be used either way. More trades with Buys or Sells. Looks like "safer" trades with Total (maybe one or two per week instead of more). But if using profit-locking then ...

Spark, Well, there are some who use it to get into a trade after Total goes above a certain number, or below a certain number. Or you could do the same using Buys,Sells,BuyAll,SellAll, use your timeframe of choice, wait for candle close, or just go ...

sparktrade, T is total of Buys and Sells. LONG STRONG means Buys have overcome their spread (so over 0), and Sells is below 0. (well, this is the way it's supposed to be per Julius, but the spread is subtracted in Orest's EA instead of added ...

I went long too, except using Universal pairs instead of non-IBFX pairs, which hazel switched to due to zz's script. I haven't changed my EA's yet to default to non-IBFX pairs. SO here's a pic of Almost same time except about 12 minutes later, and ...

zz, Thanks. I'm still having to get used to using the old pairs again Since now IBFX has CADJPY (the reason for the IBFX pairs), even IBFX will be using the old pairs, and not the IBFX/Universal pairings. Regards, Don

hayseed, I know what you're saying. You need rules for signal (so pic Kos posted would do for that), and the reason for the actual trades is to see which pairs are traded which way. There are other strategies here too. One I came up with just based ...

zz, I was wondering something. Feel free to tell me why this won't work. Just an idea. Let's say I shut down my platform. When I open it back up, I must manually put the script back on the chart, where if it was an EA and not a script, then if ...

hayseed, I understand. Julius did post on another forum (I thought, maybe this forum) about groups, to optimize. Basically the picture he posted showed him basically trading USD and JPY in the same direction. For instance, if you buyall, pairs that ...

hayseed, do you mean about 3,000 pips (not 30,000 - I wish)? How are you getting the numbers, and since when? I obviously am buying or selling all pairs in my BuysVsSells indicator. Are you doing something different than that? Reasons I ask: 1. ...

hazelj80, are you saying your H4 bar opened at 13:00 on the offline H4 chart, but 12:00 on an online pair's chart? I wouldn't think this is right. I think I understand what you're saying, but perhaps you may have misunderstood what I was saying. ...
