MightyOne.. good idea.. add the semafor indicator to the chart....Hmmm.....


Yeah... in most cases the horizon means; "wait one bar" BUT there are also cases where it is the very next bar... Hence why a red / blue cross is good confirmation...

So yeah a semafor with perhaps a WAIT (for the cross to happen) for us dummies you know :?

Okay I'll stop harassing you fine people just have one more request, maybe it will be worth coding in...

Image

Can you add a "bar period" option in your code so that we can choose the slightly now stretched H1 'spike' price analysis over a M5 candle chart that we could mirror off our custom candle chart analysis? This could also be applied to semfor logic too...

Am I asking too much? Please tell me and I'll stop, just like a kid with a new toy... :P

PS: Jalarupa, dont get too excited yet! It's only a small indicator part of a much bigger system (wich SB will keep private for now), trying to check the crosses or putting semas is a bit overdone.

Hey newschool, yeah I see its a HUGE system.... but for what it is worth.... the indicator works... albeit slightly 'delayed'

I've managed to incorporate it nicely into my current method to give added confirmation on possible position setups as well as a formidable heads up in profit taking...

Finally figured out what to do with those squiggly's ;-)

If you think about it, those squigglies can mean 2 things : breakout or SL hunting (wick). Now flip a coin?

Jalarupa:

If you will post the entry logic, I can program it into the indicator. So we would have a buy/short/wait indicator.

personally no, Im really just a step above a "cut and paste" coder, although I have perused a couple of forums that discuss this methodology for getting better performance out of [more complex] ea's. I mentioned it since SB stated that he was an experienced coder.

Okay here goes... for now I'm only using M5 CHARTS

BUY Histogram = Bullish Moves
SELL Histogram = Bearish Moves
Buy Squiggly = Line Close outside of Sell Histogram
Sell Squiggly = Line Close outside of Buy Histogram
Spike = Any move by Histogram at or above 10 Which stops and begins a negative trajectory (Closing on this negative trajectory in the area of opposing histogram)

IF:

Spike is in the area (10 pips) of previous DFSR dots (4 or more consecutive dots)

Then:

Probability of reversal is 50%+

When:

Probability is 50%+ (or the above is true)

Then IF:

Buy or Sell Squiggly HAS BROKEN OUT OF HISTOGRAM

Then:

Probability is 75% of a trade in the direction of histogram ending in success

IF:

Squiggly's both cross and the new dominant squiggly doesn't break though the opposing histogram we have a winner.

This happens and histograms do not engulf one another the probability of continued movement in direction of profit is 100%

When:

Histograms Closing on its negative trajectory in the area of opposing histogram

Then:

Prepare to exit trade

Apologies if it doesn't make sense... I had to rush to get it done before work... TGIF! :D

I thought it would simpler.

The squigglies are what Bender calls SAC, exponentially weighted moving average of the TAC lines (histogram). TRO can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.

I trade using the fills of the TAC to SAC. In other words, what percent of the SAC is the TAC 'filling'? TAC divided by SAC equals fill %. This simplifies and gives only one number to track for each side (long and short).

So, Jalarupa, when you say 'the squigglies breaking out of histogram', your basically seeing an 'overfill' condition becoming an 'underfill' condition (a shift in the trajectories) which allows the opposite side to now take over, so you are right on target.

This stuff doesn't lend itself easily to MT4, which I think Bender realized this and why he left, but it can be done.
