An idea inspired by similarity stuff: Mid-bar transient zones denote bars where significant buying and selling pressure has occured. One can use for example h=1 transient zone to minimize the lag, and use a low tf (1 min). ADL_transient[i] ...

Better ADL

Hey fishme231, Nice thread, and great results. I know what you mean with not having enough sleep... I tend to overdo my scalps as well, and then I start making errors. Good luck and thanks for sharing! k

Statistically Infallible

OK, I hope you catch some good trends! Cheers, k

Reverse Engineering a Profitable System (REPS)

I am following this thread with great interest. I do not want to diminish the efforts, and it is difficult to disagree with the result: It looks lake a low-risk, low-maintenance and high gain method, which is a goal outlined in the first post. With ...

Reverse Engineering a Profitable System (REPS)

I understand that you are doing this for the science. Still, consider the following: As far as I can understand your approach this seems to imply that most money is made in long sustained trends, which I would consider to be correct. So the idea is ...

Quant basket trader? I need your help!

PipMeUp, are you sure you did not make a programming error? It looks as if this would actually be a reasonably good estimator when you would switch red to green (i.e. accept the opposite of what it says in its current incarnation). k

Quant basket trader? I need your help!

Trade Interceptor has Renko, but works for live trading only with a handful of brokers (for example Oanda), and its Renko charts do not allow indicators to be loaded on. Cheers, k

renko charts on mobile devices

The point of my statement was that they did not go after traders with negative balance, while many other brokers did. In that respect they have dealt with the event correctly. As far as I remember also Deutsche bank halted trading during the SNB ...

Indeed. I am slowly starting to buy Natural gas from this week. Oil has made the first move last week, I think NGas will follow... k

Let's Trade Options

Hey Sciurus, Note that it introduces a lag of period/2. You may want to consider shifting the correlation line 10 bars into the past and then checking the behaviour. k

Following the big money

With all due respect, I doubt that there is a single tool in your arsenal that would surprise Wyckoff, for example. He was a successful trader, but later on found that he liked to teach other people how to trade. It is a personality thing - and ...

OrderFlowTrading.com - Become a Market Predator

I am guilty of that sin as well. In light of the stt and skenobi's comments I think the reason may also be that they (edit: the banks) are focused on long-term trading, so they don't pay much attention to the short tf reversal patterns that may (and ...

Is anyone here an institutional trader?

I am far from a genius, but have been known to program some stuff. That shouldn't be a problem. I can get onto it starting Wednesday as Monday and Tuesday I'll be busy... Just describe what you want more precisely here or in pm/email if you want ...

Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

No, the full box is the untested area. Well, if you believe that price movement is a consequence of supply and demand, this cannot possibly be correct. It certainly has something to do with supply and demand. But (as is commonly true) the problem ...

Priceless Simple Trading Ideas

It is a S/D indicator, not an EA, and it works on my charts (plots the tested and untested S/D areas). As for the trading system, the weak point is that the thread starter uses no stop loss whereas tp is 10 pips -> loss is in principle unlimited ...

Priceless Simple Trading Ideas

Also in the EU your funds are protected up to a certain amount, 50-100k euro, don't know the exact amount (you can ask the Oanda customer service). When Alpari went underwater in January, it took a while, but the last I read, the people were ...

Now we're talking! Following carefully and noting down every detail.... Cheers, k

Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

Look, I agree with you that no broker is a charity, and that they are in the business for their own profit. However, Oanda has dealt with this big event absolutely correctly. Unlike most others. And the situation could have gone the other way ...

OANDA Discussion

Well, they were among the very few who did not go after the traders who lost. Some brokers just went belly up, some tried to bully the traders who lost, with Oanda you were safe. Actually after January 15th I decided to go with them. k
