I've seen this indicator before. It's definately worth a look. I think it's from the guy, making the second place in last years automated trading championship. Thanks for sharing!

Do you use a volatility filter?

Thanks for your reply. The idea was to objectively 'see' the market activity during the different forex sessions in an indicator. 48*5 min is 4H ;-) That's to provide for enough smoothing, obiously the lag will be 2H. But you must not necessarily ...

Do you use a volatility filter?

I've thought of the the same thing before. If you decide to pull it off, I'll apply as a programmer ;-) I don't see why it shouldn't work. The only thing you're probably missing out on are the Level II quotes / market depth info.

Macroeconomic Theory — Hi BurgerKing and NewstraderFX, Here's my take on how and why central banks affect the economy and exchange rates. I think it can be called Austrian economics, but I've never read a book on it. In university I only heard ...

FX News Trading For The Week Of May 7-And Beyond

REQUOTE SOLUTION ...... A simple code snipet for every EA

Better candles — Nah, you can insert pretty much any condition, easily. Skyline and others can probably help out with this, too. I have to admit I haven't read most of the thread. I'll probably try the EA, next. image

Man, you have to tell us this broker, lol! How could he sustain this? Maybe if a big percentage of the customers don't know this, the money is from them? I'd say it's fair and legal, but the broker is obviously not competitive. Oh, and this is ...

Profiting from Broker Quotes

Sharing is caring? — Alright, I usually share my code right away. I guess it was the recent: sharing will ruin a system, stuff. But this indicator must probably not be kept a secret, lol. Have fun!

And also: why would anybody choose such a broker? That's like telling a poker player to not play any strong hands. My definition of trading is arbitraging – everything else is either investing or simply getting ripped off. Arbitrage, like the ...

That's a nice broker you have there. If you can't use slippage, there is obviously no way to avoid requotes. I guess the safest thing to do is open the order as soon as possible on the new price (you could also wait till price get's back to your ...

Requotes -----

10 Pip System Need Indicator Programmed

Let's see if we can flatten the market — I think in theory it should work on any news release that is a big enough market mover combined with low liquidity. Like merlin explained, by limit straddling, we are providing liquidity to the market ...

Fade NFP Effects On Crosses

EA already ready — I've noticed this behavior several times in the past, but you'd need quick fingers to trade it manually. Today's market convinced me to code an EA that works like a reverse straddle. A nice feature is that it can measure the ...

Fade NFP Effects On Crosses

Yea, sure. It was just some experimenting, though. It may help to better understand the KAMA, but I'm not sure if its useful as a standalone indicator. Some remarks on the formula: image It doesn't measure absolute trend strength, but rather the ...

Adaptive Moving Averages Comparison — I haven't used it yet, but came across it just recently, when looking into the work of John Ehlers. What all adaptive indicators have in common, is that they change their behaviour, based on market ...
