MightyOne,

Is this the hypothetical location of Z that you speak of?

Picture for learning purposes only.........I'm not predicting the future market move.

Bredin,

Please, Please build this indicator!!

My son (7) ask me what a fractal was. That opened the flood gates.
My 15yo doesn't have much interest but the little guy does.
He's my new trading buddy.

I started to explain what dealing ranges were and that got me to thinking that this kid would have no fear. I've got to be VERY careful what I say to him as not to create it.

Anyway, when they play video games all they have is "lives".......and then can either build up from 3 to a 100(some games when you good) or go to zero and start over again.

Wouldn't it be great to be able to do as es/pip does and never have to look at P/L until the end of the day...........just how many LIVES you have left or have gained.

You might be able to use TRO_Dragon Money management to get the balance, risk % and lot sizes.

With this indicator you would have to keep the lot size the same so the # of lives would change and not the percentage of risk.
Hope you understand what I'm saying. After I made it to 100 or 120 lives then I could up the pip value to drop back to 79,89, (or what ever cushion a person feels comfortable with) and start to build again.

It would look something like this.

Image

I attached that indicator just in case you want to use it but you may prefer to start from scratch.

I could calculate it manually after every trade and then change the DTB tag but that kind of defeats the purpose of not looking at your balance.
KodaMonster will be trading from the mt4 platform.


EDIT: you would still have to have an option to choose actual balance or external input like DragonMM for those that use another platform to trade from.

Thats actually a cool idea pro!

I start on that today:

heres the idea so far as I understand it:

This is for a sl that does not change: like in scalping?

at the start of the day (D1 bar? / user input?) the indi calculates the number of lives (entries) at the Risk (user input as %) and as trades are made shows the new value for lives.
I am assuming that LotSize for the day does not change for the duration of the day AND CANNOT GO DOWN. I may make this reset time user definable for D/W/M.

edit: user definable stop needed for risk calculation.

Sound Right?

In fact,
I'm currently struggling (with no luck so far)
under indicator, which will calculate and
show this x, y, z stuff (according to MO rules).
Either MO rules are not sufficient or I am
a complete dummie, but I still cannot figure it out
to program correctly.

Yes.
perfect.

We would have the option to change our stop/and or lots size at any time and it would calculate the amount of lives for those settings.
I don't really think we need a start time.

es/pip Says he does not look at p/l until end of day and I've seen that he uses 20 pip hard stop but gets out for much less when possible. Maybe it could show tenth's of lives.......(nothing to elaborate as lots of numbers/decimals may just be a nuisance like 5 digit pips)

It would be perfect for scalpers as you say because of the psychological stresses involved with big lots and 1:1 or less trading R:R.
Thx

no worries, Im working on it now.
I will calculate lotsize at the start of (user defined) D1 W1 or MN1 bar (and at firstrun), and will not lose its place if you have to restart the terminal during that time :)

Image

looking right so far?
edit: the odd lotsize is cos that demo is in AUD.

next is reset times :) or should that be "New Game"

And then I thought, what if I reversed the process to set lives as a user input...

noone,

youre not a dummie, keep looking and you will SEE how MO does it. First learn to mark up a chart correctly, THEN try to make the computer do it. MOs rules are right there on that chart.

Pro, you dont need to do an input for a separate account balance, you just create a demo with the exact balance you want:

from the new account tab just stick any val you like into the Deposit Field

ie
Image

it occurs to me that if you dont want to look at balance of another trade account then you cant update after every trade anyway. Even so Ive put an input in for this....
