No, I didn't say I duplicated your VFFT, just the poly indy. I would be operating way above my current IQ. If I did, I wouldn't announce it just yet... Carl

I think it has more to do with his system, than his VFFT indicator. Which, of course he will not show you. His first post has a polynomial curve fit onto bars, which may be an early indication of change in trend coincident with a change in cycles. I ...

So, how can you project into the future with these complex waves? Carl

fxtimer, That is impressive. That is the problem with stuff that works consistently... you want to keep it to yourself. Like you, I am convinced cycles are the best way also. The key of course is finding the right algorithm to handle the time ...

Awesome, thanks! I'll check those out. Carl

CB, What do you think about a Bartels test on individual cycles? I have been trying to find information about it for some time, but to no avail. Do you think it would be usable in this application? I have seen several cycle software packages (for ...

Very cool, challenger!! Unfortunately the matlab code is such that I cannot translate into basic functions usable by MT4 MQL or similar. Very, very interesting though. Complex in, discrete complex out. Thanks for the info. Carl

Great! I like pictures... I don't understand what you said, but pictures are nice. Carl

challenger, An external program is always my goal with math/data intensive algorithms. MT4 has to much processing overhead. You can see what I've done with a basket trading monitor here at this thread. All communication is with text files. I even ...

CB, Yes I have the Goertzel indy. That is the only way I could write my console prog to analyze the persistence of cycles. I just translated it into my IDE. MT4 would have choked on that... lots of overhead. However the possibilities are wide open ...

I also have FAP and Piptronic. They both work great in demo. Demo accounts don't emulate the overnight spread of 8 to 18 pips pips at times, and especially don't emulate "off-quotes". ODL is proven to disable accounts of scalpers, and/or FAP owners. ...

That's it... — Thanks CB, That works perfectly. The chart looks great. Carl

Thanks CB, Yes, I realized that in MT4, the freshest data is Bar[0]. In re-creating the waves, i'm using the following: Cycle is bars per cycle u = (2*PI)/Cycle w = Cycle x = Amplitude y = Phase in Radians z = (y * (180/PI)) / 360 : to convert ...

Current EURUSD 1H Up to the 1300 GMT. Waveform suggests higher prices. CB, I'm having to shift the waveform a half-wave (=60 bars for a 120 bar analysis) to match the past. Is that the right thing to do? Carl

Thanks CB. Unfortunately I don't use VB. My IDE/compiler has access to the windows API, but those DDE routines are antiquated and complex. I don't have time to get into those. I have written an Expert Advisor to export data to file which I read from ...
