New Chart Indicator: _TRO_POOR_MANs_SLOT

This is for all of the trader's who don't have RadarScreen.

Since I am still on version 8.0, there are only 2 triggers but you can expand the code to handle more.

The top Green/Red dots indicate buy/sell.

The bottom DarkGreen/DarkRed dots indicator cover/short.

The triggers/colors are all user inputs so you can use this to test your trade triggers before you actually trade them with real money.

My favorite triggers are the defaults.

ELD attached.

MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.






Code: Select all

// _TRO_POOR_MANs_SLOT  - chart version of slot machine

TRO,

This indicator is incredible. I used it this morning on the GBP to make 60 pips and then again to make another 20. This compliments my own breakout methodology perfectly. All I do is wait for a buy or sell on this indicator and then wait for price action to start moving. If the bar following the signal can get some momentum above/below the signal candle it's time to jump on for a ride!.

Also since I don't use radar, I wanted to especially thank you for converting your idea over to a regular indicator.

Have a great weekend.

Edward

If you liked the Poor Man's Slot Machine, you'll love THE EVALUATOR!

Once again, it's all input controlled and works on both radar and charts.

Just remember to set iRadar to FALSE, if you are using a chart.

What time frame is best with this indicator?

TRO,

I am new to this forum, however I have read all of your posts in the TS forum. My question is I am not sure I completely understand how to use this indicator? I do not have rader screen attached below is a screen shot of a 60 min eur-usd.

I am not sure when to sell of buy?

Never had seen that chart color combo before... I use a black background, so the black dots would not be there.

But if you notice when you see 2 bright green dots, the price usually goes up from there.

And a bright red dot usually is a warning the price is about to drop.

HTH.

TRO,

I see that the slots can trigger a signal intrabar (say on a 60 minute bar). Some of these signals seem to be quite good (for the several that I've watched in real time). Is there a way I can look at these signals historically (intrabar) and see when they are triggered (say on a 5 minute bar)?

Avery, / Tro -

Wanted to let you know that I appreciate what you're doing. I'm glad I found you on this site. Made a strategy from your poor man's slots, and it looks profitable. :D

I've lost 10's of thousands of $$ paying people for stuff that hasn't worked for me. I needed to find your stuff.

GOOD KARMA TO YOU!!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! These sentiments are felt by many!!!!
