Hi Everyone Going on from the last post, attached is my M15 chart for OIL. I have just a couple of ultra-simple rules in my indicator as yet but I took these trades and did quite nicely. I have 3 more rules to code but since I am learning MQ ...

I can understand Melpheos' anxiety! As I said in my earlier post, I got in within 20 pips of the bottom of that rise at 19725 but chickened at 200 pips. As of writing the market is at 20357 or 632 pips gain. OK - I'm quite new to all this but I have ...

Question for the experts... On a few charts posted here, some folk have added a Stoch(100,x,x). What is this for and how would we use it? Also, I have seen Doug uses a Stoch(4,2,2) in place of the (5,3,3). He claims you get in 1 bar earlier. Does ...

Hi JD Brave man -- well done on your first wrestle with the Dragon!! BTW, I have just noticed a nice little signal on the GBPUSD. Oh-ho! In the time it took to type that I am up 15 pips! BoxingLife is a hero.... CB.

Hola Yes - it was lucky! I have read that flat 20/50 is generally not good but I have seen this pattern in the past and it has generally been quite frituful for me. BUT you have to confirm on 1 or 2 higher time frames. If I am being "aggressive" I ...

HP filters — Ahhh... Now we are getting towards some intersting stuff! The HP filter is a second-backward-difference matrix filter. I have implemented this using a fast Ridder-root method to avoid the matrix inversion. (My DLL can fit the HP ...

Hi JD Yup - I guess I'm too much of a newb to know enough to be scared of the Dragon! I just looked at the 4 big pairs in order of market size. Started with the EURUSD but, apart from the odd good day, seems to be dead as a dodo most of the time -- ...

Hi Melpheos Thanks for the advice and links. Understood. BTW, I got in on the GBPJPY rise early this morning (UK time) that this miraculous system foretold 1 M30 bar in advance!!! Although I chickened out part way thru as I am kinda new and couldn't ...

Hello Everyone Hope this isn't a newbie question.... I am looking at the Sexy system and I have got the chart up with NonLagMA (downloaded from here), the 3 stochs and the HA. But I can't find the MA Crossover with the neat red and blue arrows. I ...

Hi CL That's right. We smooth the OHLC prices using a filter that leaves the "noise" stationary. This filter has very low lag and excellent price fidelity. So you can get a nice HA indicator but without the 4-bar lag of the conventional indicator. I ...

Hi I have to confess I have not used the Excel spreadsheet version of the DF test I gave the link for. I just found this one day while on the Web and thought it might be useful for Excel-based folk. I use the MatLab test which is quite sophisticated ...

Hi Emda Thanks again for you prompt response. I see from your excellent indicator that on the M30 threads you plot every point, on the H1 you plot every other point and on the H4 you plot every 8th point. This ties up with my thinking and ...

Spuds Stochastic Thread Theory

Hello Everyone I have been thinking about the whole idea of stochs on multiple and single time frames and I have a question.... Clearly, longer time frames can be made from shorter ones quite simply. For example, if we have M15 bars, then to make H1 ...

Spuds Stochastic Thread Theory
