How to use the frequency distribution tool

Hi Avery,

I wanted to ask you how can we design our own frequency distribution settings?

This is a simple example:
1) Using the daily EURUSD chart
2) I want to find the wick sizes in pips
3) I like the settings to use the past 300 daily bars, so for the past 300 days.
4) Finally, categorise them into the different sizes:
- 0-1 pips
- 1-5 pips
- 5-10 pips
- 10-20 pips
- 20-100 pips

Having percentages will be good as well. This is a simple example, but I like to learn before having advanced settings on finding the more beneficial statistical figures.

You can change the inputs.

Hi TRO,

thanks, but is there a manual on how to adjust the inputs?

please see the pic, I am not sure if the template or indicator is the right one.

Didn't you get the PDF? The indicator in your chart doesn't have those range inputs.

Yes, i got the pdf. I'll read it again tonight.

One of my ideas is to get 5 pips either buy or sell depending on the previous candle. If previous candle is a down candle I'll sell, if it is an up candle, I'll buy.

I will only enter at the open on a h4 candle for 5 pips.

1. So i want the tool to count all the wicks of the previous 240 h4 candles (2 months of data). Then the average of the 240 candles.

2. I also want the tool to count the body of the h4 candles and average it out.

I hope that this is possible. Getting more stats in our favour.

Hi CrumpledOne, might I suggest you reverse your idea. Its been my experience that h4 open will retrace before continuing. If you are only looking for 5 pips I believe you will get them quicker. Not 100 % of the time but with a plan of what to do in case it goes against you such as HOLO (therumpledone/holo-highest-open-lowest-open-trade-t12931) you will be successful.
