Nod. I'm just not sure how to get MT4 to make it's arrays behave as a hash. Cool, thanks I'll check it out.

Price Density Index

Nah, I wrote an EA not an indicator, the idea was to backtest the theory that NR4 and NR7 bars had a predictive value as put forth by Linda Bradford Raschke and, earlier, Toby Crabel. What I found is that, in forex at least, the volatility and ...

EA for NR7's

I made one for NR4 and IBs, both were hit or miss altho NR3s (strangely enough) performed fairly well. There's an intra-day pattern we've seen lately of one big trend day followed by 2 tightening range days that has been preceeding large breakouts. ...

EA for NR7's

For any given coin flip the odds will always be 50/50, absolutely. Law of independent trials, gambler's fallacy and all that. But we're not talking about a single coin flip, or even 20, we're talking about the sum of hundreds of flips as "ticks." As ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

You don't base it on past trends. Past data is useless in a random walk. Remember random data follows a normal distribution. That alone is sufficient to make money on purely random data. Unless of course they don't manage their risk or don't react ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

And do you think I give a hootin-nanny about what a "central banker" does? Regardless of whatever they do, good speculators will trade it accordingly. I don't care to predict the markets, there are 2 kinds of people in this business it seems... ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

Depends on what you want. I have a system that works w/ purely random data, but I'm under an NDA that limits what I can disclose. I can say that it's a trend following approach that looks for certain variation with a very tight risk control. I must ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

The old saying goes... "Past performance may not be indicative of future results." Or as someone once said "We trade futures, not pasts." Of course optimal mechanical rules can produce great potential results on past data, take a look at Ron's ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

Keep in mind that sideways years have great trending periods on a lower time frame. At the moment most pairs are moving sideways on the daily w/ the USD uncertainty, but if you go down to smaller TFs you'll notice there's several good trending days ...

The Root of Forex Swing Trading

Pass? Fail? Laff. I closed that position a long time ago. It did break out, to the upside, then quickly whipped back down. I covered at BE when it whipped back, I have no patience for losses on breakout trades... either the market keeps going or it ...

What's going on with the EURUSD?

Oh. Hrm, still, I'd double check your syntax. There were a few things that looked unusual there.

Why ordermodify error 1?

Your iMA syntax is incorrect. Linky: url LMA is the method, not the period, etc, etc.

Why ordermodify error 1?

Laff, yea. Better fills, better service, more reputable, overall better performance... I'd be quite happy to pay for all that. I trade when my method tells me to trade, no more no less. Lower fees or spreads... not my first concern. Will they take ...

Would you trade more if broker fees were lower?

Depends on what you mean by volatility. The conventional wisdom is that volatility is the amount of pips a pair moves during a period. If that's what you're referring to, the GBPJPY and GBPCHF pairs are king. The way that's usually measured is thru ...

How Do You Measure Volatility For Any Currency Pair? Is there Any Website/Indicator?

Obviously not, lol. IS it tick volume at the broker (I've heard otherwise about MT4)? And what's that saying exactly? It was my understanding that VSA is designed to try and follow the "big dogs" to provide some insight into ...

Does anybody suggest any Volume Spread Analysis Indicators?

How can VSA be applied to forex, anyway? Doesn't VSA, by it's definition, analyze volume? Without a centralized exchange to track volume, what possible meanings can we get from broker-provided volume data?

Does anybody suggest any Volume Spread Analysis Indicators?

Wow, old post. What happened? My theory: Predictions, theories and forecasts don't matter, what matters is what the market does. Trade what you see, not what you think.

Day by Day

Draw down potential is proportional to the size of your stop loss (where no stop loss equals infinite draw down potential), altho win/loss ratio is inversely proportional. This leads people to aim for high win/loss not realizing that it will ...

did not set stop loss

I don't know, do you?
