Are you refering to HOLO on any intraday timeframe of ur choice? or did u mean something else?
Also, if price leaves the midpoint behind, woudn't it also leave todays active daily open behind? In your chart for example, price is already way below daily open....or were u refering to a weekly open / monthly open / an earlier day open from a while back? Thank you


What I had in mind was that if price starts trading below the highest H1 open that you can elect to trade against the bias.

I use daily opens for the monthly bias.

So when price is above the current monthly midpoint and below the current daily open, you go long when price reaches the current daily open?

A trade is made when a line is defined as THE trigger and price touches the trigger.

If the bias is up then any line that is at or above the bias line can be defined as THE trigger.

If price is below the daily open then you CAN short; until then you are only looking at long trades.

The entries vary...
we'll get to the least important part later. :lol:

^^Yes! Entry is the least important part of the trade when going for lines aka moves of relative significance. Entry is also completely arbitrary when looking at game theory/infinite series strategies. Entry is very important, however, for single predictive trades where spread is a large % of TP or SL, or R:R is very small.

Thank you Mighty One, I was assuming you were looking at Daily and H1 charts and not the Weekly / Monthly charts. My bad.
And in the chart I think, this is the prior month's midpoint and not the current month's developing midpoint?

Thank you

I am sure that there is a shorter version :)

EDIT: the only problem that I am having right now is that the chart doesn't update unless I change periods.
I will probably wrap this code in an "extern bool AUTO_MIDPOINT = false;" for now.
EDIT2: & I need to find a better formula for outside bars...

Code: Select all

   
   If(AUTO_MIDPOINT){
   //outside bars
   if(high > phigh && low < plow){
   if(close > open){Mid = (high + open)/2;}else
   if(close < open){Mid = (low + open)/2;}}else
   //no breakout
   if(high < phigh && low > plow){Mid = (high + low)/2;}else
   //breakout one way or the other
   if((high > phigh && low >= plow) || (low < plow && high <= phigh)){
   //no deep retracement
   if((high > phigh && low > pmidpoint) || (low < plow && high < pmidpoint)){
   Mid = (high + low)/2;}else
   //deep retracements
   if(high > phigh && low < (pmidpoint + plow)/2 && close <= (pmidpoint + phigh)/2){
   Mid = (pmidpoint + low)/2;}else
   if(low < plow && high >(pmidpoint + phigh)/2 && close >= (midpoint + plow)/2){
   Mid = (pmidpoint + high)/2;}else
   if(low < pmidpoint || high > pmidpoint){
   if(high > phigh){ Mid = (pmidpoint + high)/2;}else
   if(low < plow){ Mid = (pmidpoint + low)/2;}}}}else
   {Mid = (high + low)/2;}

I think that I had the weekly midpoint on that chart #-o

Deleted some prev. answers. 8)

Code: Select all

    if (PriceEntry == 0) {
   if( Price_Choices == 1) PriceEntry = iOpen(0,timeframe_const,Price_Shift);
   if( Price_Choices == 2) PriceEntry = iClose(0,timeframe_const,Price_Shift);
   if( Price_Choices == 3) PriceEntry = iHigh(0,timeframe_const,1);
   if( Price_Choices == 4) PriceEntry = iLow(0,timeframe_const,1);
   if( Price_Choices == 5) PriceEntry = Mid;
   //if( Price_Choices == 6) PriceEntry = MidBody;
   }


This part of code make problem with auto update. After first run PriceEntry is != 0.

The risk space defines the min/max entry, which is in turn given by recent volatility (line size). The SL is much more important than the entry. We need an SL to lean on, calculable bias, and some momentum trigger. Or, for a liquidity providing strategy, a pullback after the momentum trigger. If we are able to get in inside our risk space, i.e. less than calculated noise, while fulfilling the req's of SL, bias, momo, then the entry itself has edge.
