That is one kick-ass screen! TRO should consider including some of that back into his indicators. If you'd share.


I'd be more than happy, and somewhat humbled to do that if he wanted them. :oops: I can't just post them here, though, because, as I mentioned, some, if not all, of them started out as DONATIONAL.

One thing I've been thinking of adding, across the board, is a "What color rat are you?" toggle you can easily flip (on any given indicator where it would make sense and add value to do so) that filters out signals that don't match your declared "color allegiance". That way, on my command center, for example, whenever an alert (hi-lite color and/or arrow) pops up, I would know immediately that it is relevant to how I have chosen to live my Rat Life.

I took a different approach and made a dashboard.

The Dots shows me rat reversal setups.

The Arrowheads tell me a rat reversal trade triggered.

I also have the Rat Reversal MultiPair indicator that shows you the entry point.

But before you start using indicators and trading multiple pairs on multiple time frames, YOU NEED TO MASTER TRADING ONE PAIR ON ONE TIME FRAMES.

If you do that, you may never consider doing anything else.

DO NOT LET THE RAT BEAT YOU!

Is this overkill? :smt103

I modified the REVERSE and SCALPER indicators into a single indicator (placed 4 times across the top, covering different time periods). Whenever a yellow arrow shows up and the pair name turns Yellow, it stands out as a visual "look at me!" signal. Otherwise, colors are based on whether price is going up or down.

Indicator on the far right shows candle colors for all time periods for the specified pairs.

Again, one thng I want to EMPHASIZE here is that these are based on TRO's indicators and are not my original inventions. I added a lot of "cosmetic" adjustabilities to them, like line and column spacing and more control over fonts - but the underlying "work logic" remains the same as in TRO's original indicators (which I think, all of these are "donational").

One thing that is not showing here is the on the "Opportunity" chart in the middle, it places either a RED or GREEN pointing finger pointing to the pips (as another very visual "HEY LOOK AT ME!" signal) when the price gets within 20 pips of the highs/lows.

I've got a lot of room to spare, so maybe I'll add some more RAT-Helper indicators. :shock:


nice work thumbs up

Oh, believe me, that exactly is what I am doing. This "Command Center" was more just to exercise my atrophying programmer muscles. Ever since I got "promoted" up to"Architect" at work, I haven't gotten to program at all - until I started looking to Forex and came across MT4.

Originally, on this screen, I only had EURUSD, EURJPY, and USDJPY - simply out of curiosity so I could watch how those three correlated with each other - but I stuck with only trading on EURSUD.

By the way, doesn't "Rat Trader" sound like it could have been the name of an actual PIRATE SHIP?

"OMG! Captain! There, on the horizon! It's The Rat Trader off the port bow! Ahhhhhhh! Hide the pips! Hide the pips!"

2) red candle closes

3) green candle closes - note the high price of the green candle.

4) enter long at the green candle's high price

5) STOP LOSS IS 10 PIPS

6) Take whatever profit you can.

Depends on what you are asking?

Taking the entry after the red, green, long at prev green high, then YES!

If you enter after that, then "NO", is it not an official RAT REVERSAL TRADE per se. More like an ADVANCED RAT REVERSAL TRADE. But let's NOT confuse others.

Remember, the RAT ALWAYS TURNED LEFT ( only trades in ONE DIRECTION and NEVER SWITCHES ) .


Hello,

Thanks for your comments.

My question came because in my broker's chart, there is a doji (number 3 in the attached chart) and I want to be sure that it's not invalidating the rat setup. ( have to be adjacent green candles ?)

Anyway I took the trade (for a very small profit :roll: ) as you can see in the chart).

Cheers

Francisco

See how I combined the old DTB "Pirate" theme with the new Rat theme and... oh, never mind.

Ok, I said I could not sleep, I did not say I wasn't sleepy. :P
