TRO_DYNAMIC_FIBSSR

TRO_DYNAMIC_FIBSSR - ENHANCEMENT





I added an enhancement to TRO_DYNAMIC_FIBSSR.

The iPlotTrade input, when = TRUE, will place a white dot behind the dynamic support/resistance dots. This is your TRADE ENTRY TRIGGER!

Notice how many winners and the amount you could have made per share. Lots of "MILK" in that RIMM cow!!

ELD and Workspace attached.

I also included a surprise "treasure" showme indicator.

Can you post the algorithm you are using to plot the iPlotTrade dots for us without Tradestation?

[TheRumpledOne]

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

{ _TRO_Dynamic_FibsSR - draw fibs between the Support/Resistance lines }
   
{Attn: TradeStation
if this indicator is posted on the TradeStation Forum, I, TheRumpledOne, did NOT post it there,
so I can't be blamed for this indicator having my contact info.}

Are you sure youare spleeling the file correctly? Is it TRO_DYNAMIC_FIBSSR or TRO_DYNAMIC_FIBSR with only 1 S?

tnx

[cvax]

If you only want to capture 10cents per stock


5cents per stock


just breakeven

This one tells us just 9% of trades will go sour instantly upon entry and never provide profit opportunities.

Wow there truly is tons of milk. Don't be too greedy and fill the milk jugs all day!

If you only want to capture 10cents per stock

Hi,

What stop loss do you set in your statistic and
what is your entry level ?

[cvax]

No no. The stats I generated here are not that sophisticated. It is just a very simple win-to-total trades ratio and win is defined by how many trades hit your scalping target.

Basically the first case is if you required yourself to scalp at least $0.10 you would achieve this target 59% of the time. Lets just keep our analysis simple.

Long trades=3909
Percent Win=59.79% -> Win Trades=3909*59.79%=2337.1911
Percent Loss=40.21% -> Loss Trades=3909*40.21%=1571.8089
1000 sh per trade@$0.10 per share=$100
Stop@$0.10=-$100
2337.1911*$100+1571.8089*-$100=$76538.22
Cost basis=$234.20*1000=$234200
Margin 4:1 -> Equity=$58550
ROE=76538.22/58550=130.72% in one year. Actual returns will be much lower if you calculate in commissions but you get the idea. Also keep in mind that the % wins do not take into account real-time possibilities like your stop being hit before rebounding to hit your target. It just assumes if there was a runup that hit your target it was a winning trade.


Entry is the open of the bars with the dots.

Entry is the open of the bars with the dots.

thank you .

[cvax]

The trigger was the bar before the bar with the dot. You should be prepared to enter on the bar with the dot before that bar starts building.

CVAX:

Rerun the calcs for only the FIRST HOUR of trading, and see what happens!

The real profit target is the 50% fib retrace level. The real stop loss is .01 above resistance or .01 below support.
