@matthew89, @aaven -- thanks for the good word and letting me know. And as more people comment both with ideas and observations then I hope to make the indicator even more useful. I find this approach of trying to unravel the "psychology" of the MM ...

@4fxonly -- you made a comment a few posts back (post #98) that I thought was interesting (a) because you stated it as given, and (b) I don't necessarily agree (at least not yet). You bring up an important issue that goes to the heart of why even ...

@FinInsTrader -- thanks for the good word -- appreciate it. As for how to mark-up the charts -- I'm hoping the indicator will be flexible enough for people to use however they wish. By the time I finish the MTF version you should be able to combine ...

@4fxonly -- I was able to reproduce the problem you first described in post #93. There was a bug caused by one of my fractal-computing routines not using the "LeftBars" and "RightBars" settings from the input dialog. This should be fixed in the ...

To all -- I've uploaded a new version of the MM Detective indicator, which can be downloaded using the link in post #1. This new version fixes a bug reported by @4fxonly. Also, I think its performance is much improved -- thanks to @SwingMan. I'm now ...

@swd -- thanks for understanding. As for having a button pushed -- I totally get that. In fact, I'm probably more guilty than anyone else here. I think I may hold the record for number of times being temporarily suspended by FF. But you realize, of ...

@Tripper, @swd -- hey fellows, do we really need to air this in public? The thread is about using indicators to gain a better edge on MMITS ("Money Maker In the Sky") price manipulation. I appreciate both your interests in the thread and I look ...

@Den77 -- nice indicator -- thanks. I'm about to begin creating an MTF version of the MM Detective indicator with the option to use higher level fractals (i.e. fractals within fractals) to identify stronger TOPS and BOTTOMS. Being able to see how ...

@4fxonly -- good point and good test. I will look more closely to figure out why there is this difference.

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

@4fxonly -- no, I don't think you are missing anything. I think we are on the same page. I simply used the default MT4 Fractal indicator to show that it identified all the other TOPS and BOTTOMS except for the one in question to point out that it is ...

@Derekers -- thanks for the good word -- appreciate it. Yes -- an MTF version is a good idea as is in the works. Also, a version that uses @SwingMan's idea of employing higher level fractals to do a better job of picking-out strong TOPS and BOTTOMS.

@pax -- I'm not sure that error is coming from the MM Detective indicator -- at least, it's not in my source code. When I searched a larger source code base that error message appeared in Davits' Pivot indicator. By any chance is his indicator ...

@Nih98 -- this is excellent. I've learned more from your two charts than I did from @George's thread. I mean, I sort of grasped the general ideas @George was trying to convey, but a few charts and explanations like yours would have made things much ...

@4fxonly -- well, at least we can both agree that we can rule out the possibility of a bug (not to be taken seriously or literally). Seriously -- I do have an explanation. I opened the same GBPUSD / M15 and dragged the default MT4 Fractal indicator ...

@4fxonly -- fair enough, thanks for clarifying. I guess this time I took you too literally Just goes to show it happens even to the best of us (not to be taken literally).

@Nih98 -- very nice, thank you. I had a couple of questions -- when you say to "trade away" from the newest HH do you mean to wait until the move has settled down and then go short? If so, are you expecting a move downward (rather than upward) ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

@Nih98 -- WOW -- this is amazing. That is the best chart and explanations I've seen on FF -- ever. Thank you!

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

@4fxonly -- good -- now we're even... Look it -- all is good. And the fact you suggested it may not be possible only motivates me more. I love programming (I own a software company), I love trading (as a hobby) so I predict in the end there ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

@Nih98 -- most interesting -- thank you. For identifying TOPS and BOTTOMS, the fractal-inside-fractal strategy seems a more compelling one than simply using more LeftBars and RightBars or MTF fractals. Not only is it consistent with the concept of ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

@SwingMan -- yes, thank you for pointing this out. I prefer the idea of using higher-level fractals to pick out TOPS and BOTTOMS (as opposed to combining multiple time frames) -- and not just because it might be less CPU intensive. From ...
