(4) And the time you waste is not just your own. It includes others, as well. You may not care about wasting my time, but I do. @BestTraderEv -- please carry on. As I mentioned earlier -- I've lost enthusiam to participate. I know you are an honest ...

The reason why it is a bad thing is for multiple reasons: (1) The algorithm has already been developed, debugged, tested and traded for decades. Do you really think you are going to be able to recreate all that over a weekend? We stand on the ...

Of course you wouldn't take the text from the posts. Why would you take the simple recipe that @parisboy and I were laying out for everyone -- based on an established, documented algorithm developed years ago and successfully traded today. You were ...

Not true. You were told MANY times, but were too focused on using your screw driver to prove that is the only tool one needs to build the hill that others were interested in creating. Why pretend you had to learn it the hard way -- tell him they are ...

Thanks, but no thanks. I'm moving on. You can pick up where I left off or replace my indicator.

It was developed over 60 years ago by engineers working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory -- initially for guided missiles systems and then adapted to financial markets. It is not up to you to decide whether it is correct -- that has already been ...

Until you can demonstrate you understand how Focal Points work I'm not going to respond to your posts. You're treating this as if @parisboy just pulled it out of his ass this week and it's your job to vet it. The rest of us are interested in ...

Yes they are and you could easily check that using MT4's built-in Moving Average. Rather than leaving gaps at the end of the back-shifted SMAs I filled-in the rest of the lines by continuing their slopes. And I posted that awhile back when @parisboy ...

It's not back-testable in Strategy Tester. If you understood how it works then you'd know why.

Below I describe one way to trade Focal Points -- there are others that include Double Tops / Bottoms which I plan to add later on. This is the simple version and appears to be very accurate. image Bearish Setup: FP1 -- Focal Point #1 FP2 -- Focal ...

I've attached an updated version of the R4M-FocalPoint indicator. It is hot, out of the oven and has never been used in trading, though I will trade it modestly beginning tomorrow. This version differs from the previous in a couple of ways: 1. In ...

Beautiful. @MoeinYzz -- nice to see others join in. And, yes, @parisboy has woken some people up, including myself...

@parisboy -- another question: The power-of-2 spans (or periods) -- where did that come from? It's too convenient to be theoretical. Was that arrived at empirically? Actually, I think I know the answer. Those guys at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory ...

@parisboy -- it's all good. Like me, @BestTraderEv can't help playing devil's advocate. It's in our blood. It's okay for there to be some tension and pushback. It also helps to clear things up for me. You both have the best intentions -- you just ...

I don't think the Double Tops were fake -- you don't yet understand how the algorithm works. The Double Tops were correct for awhile and then the trend changed. Double Tops don't mean a bearish trend will run forever. If you had entered a short ...

And you're not battling it? Kinda seems like you're more intent on proving FocalPoints wrong than interested in adding another tool to your toolbox. I'll stop trying to coax you along -- you are a battle-hardened trader and know what you're doing...

Yeah -- you're 110% right. Let's continue with BTCUSD...

Thanks... @parisboy -- for the short-term, I'm going to simplify the R4M-FocalPoint indicator a bit for the purposes of swing trading. These are all great, great tips and I will incorporate them, in time. But I need to take smaller bites and get ...
