@BestTraderEv -- I trade EAs with @bishopdotun. We trade 28 pairs and can have up to a couple hundred trades open at any one time. It's different than the way you trade. Focus on what he says in his post and ignore the background lines. The focus of ...

I was trying to reproduce your GJ chart but was having a heck of a time. At the top it says "1H", but it really is H4, right? Could you help me to reproduce your chart on GJ / H4 -- I would like to compare your markings with those from PlanetX, ...

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

Yes, yes -- but you guys know what I meant. The discussion so far has only referred to charts -- so, I was referring to potential Entries based on chart signals. The bookkeeping you refer to falls under money management -- which is a different ...

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

Exactly!!! I know you were kind of joking but this also relates to my pendulum / feedback post. In ALL systems, the metric that is being measured diverges from an equilibrium only very minimually before feedback mechanisms pull it back toward ...

Wow -- thank you sir -- I need to study this a bit more closely. But I gave you $100 for just one trade and you showed me 9. Do I owe you another $800?

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

Okay -- so is this for our edification or is there a trading edge hidden in there? If I gave you $100 USD to make a single trade -- where would you Enter / Exit and why?

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

Yes -- that's exactly it. The difference (delta) from the centered moving average (equilibrium / midline / fair market value). True -- one doesn't "need" Stochastics, DSS-Bressert or the others. However, because they plot **normalized** deltas then ...

Dude -- this is a classic!! I don't think I've ever used that many emojis in a single post, ever...

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

In the above post I referred to a trading edge that becomes apparent when you choose a time frame that reveals these "natural" oscillations. And that was one of the motivations for launching the original PlanetX thread.

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

Love it -- how true!!! Okay -- so, there may be hope for me. I'll look it over. Thanks...

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

Nice example. But let's make a distinction between oscillations and a major move. If one trades a super-trend following strategy then, sure, the major move is important. But when swing trading the major move is of secondary importance. These days ...

Thank you. A bit over my head -- my last math class was in the previoius century. But I will browse it and extract what I can.

@parisboy -- excellent, excellent post -- thank you, sir!! It's a huge relief to hear from you we are on the same page. Taking a closer look at DSS-Bressert and your chart that showed the MA oscillating around the midline, then I could see these ...

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

Hello @parisboy -- so, so nice to hear from you. Maybe I'm beginning to see the light? So, I have a question for you. The pendulum pattern that I'm referring to and which currently interests me can be seen in the Stochastics indicator. Where does ...

And your day job -- asking customers if they want fries with their burger? I'm sorry your feelings were hurt -- but that was over two years ago. Time to put on those big boy pants -- ya think?

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

Another post worth repeating -- related to the pendulum pattern... Core body temperature as a function of time... image All systems hover around some midline / equilibrium / fair market value, drifting above and below some equilibrium value. That ...

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

This has been posted before in the other thread, but is worth repeating... Even though it is not apparent when staring at the main price chart, few people have remarked how price moves as a pendulum. There are only a few indicators that reveal this ...

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

Another indicator that complements PlanetX is DSS-RVI -- which is my own concoction. It applies Bressert's "double smoothing" algebra to the RVI (Relative Vigor Index) indicator. image file

Trading PlanetX & Oscillators

Here is one of my favorite combinations -- PlanetX plus DSS-Bressert. These complement one another well. Sometimes it seems to me that traders obsess over a losing trade or when an indicator's signals arene't perfect. Not only will they never be ...

If today's data is used for backtesting tomorrow then it is not live data -- it is historical data. I don't know how one can spin it otherwise. @yoriz -- I appreciate your patience and humoring my comments. You are a gentleman and a prince. Best of ...
