TDesk User Indicators Playground

[BostonEJ]

Working on this indicator for use with TDesk. I created it in TradingView.


Both indi's are the same viewed differently. Its ATR as a fast line and a MA of ATR as the slow. I hope to set TDesk to take trades when fATR is over sATR and no trading for a pair when its below.

I will add the Empty4 files I've attempted to create for this indi and also ones I tried to create for use with TDesk once I can.

edit: maybe I cant add images here or I'm doing it wrong.

Hi EJ,

Please, check if this ATR indicator could suit your purpose.
If so, it can perhaps be improved by using MA instead of DMI etc..

As I was busy with an ADX/DMI indicator for UBD, I just overlayed the ATR instead of ADX.

Thanks. Not exactly sure what I'm seeing when I load it up so I cant say for sure. I believe Ehrenmat was going to make an attempt at the indi I referenced since he asked I send it to him.

What is the indi you provided showing with the mix of ATR and DMI?

Hi EJ,

It is the ATR showing as a histogram.

When it is GREEN, the ATR value is above the chosen threshold ATR_Level and the value of the ATR is increasing and the trend is UP (DMI is positive).

When it is RED, the ATR value is above the chosen threshold ATR_Level and the value of the ATR is increasing and the trend is DOWN (DMI is negative).

When it is WHITE, the ATR value is under the chosen threshold level and/or the value of the ATR is decreasing.

The chosen threshold ATR_level is multiplied by the ATR_Levelfactor to take away all the decimals
(like 0.0050).

This was just a quick attempt to give a possible solution but there are for sure better ways.

The indicator filters out trades when the ATR value is too low and(or) the value of the ATR is decreasing. It could be improved by putting a moving average on the DMI or replacing the DMI by another trend indicator like MACD etc..

Cheers,
Ben

Well... I did try to make your Indi TDesk compatible, EJ. But after a few devastating hours of code analysis I have to hand this out to the SHF community for help.

EDIT: Deleted the file since I found a solution !

The problem is that TDesk doesn't detect the ATR Volatility MA Indi at all and I really don't get behind this. I don't even have a clue, why this happens... Could have to do something with the iMAOnArray part but I'm completely unsure.

To quote Steve: "Indi code baffles me" At least from time to time

Can someone more sophisticated get her/his hands on this and help us out? I would really like to know what I have done wrong so that I can manage situations like these in the future...

Not my week

Cheer and thanks in advance,

Quotes and quotes of quotes...

To anyone who is interested in the coding problem: It was an enumeration failure at the TDesk signal publishing part...

Finally, here is your ATR Volatility MA indicator with TDesk Signals, EJ. To this point, I included your requested option to allow Solo Signals only at a given threshold.

EDIT: Latest Version @ATR Period Volatility Indicator

The signalling works as followed:

At first, a permanent FLAT Signal gets published. As soon as the ATR is above the Smoothed ATR, this FLAT signal gets deleted by publishing a NULL Signal to TDesk. This subsequently allows the formation of a Solo Signal through other indicator signals.

I hope, this is the way you wanted your indicator to react. If not, then just shout out and I will add, delete or modify TD conditions to your needs, EJ.

Cheers,

Mat

Ehrenmat,

I truly appreciate your efforts. I'll play with it this weekend and try to put some examples in from of the forum in case others care to use it.

Thanks again!

Well, I myself see some advantage with this Volatility filter and will test a new setup thanks to your indicator.

There is an identical feature in TDesk 6.6 now. This way you can even use Universal Drones as "Risk On, Risk Off" indicators.

Ehrenmat,

One thing I did change was your reference from the smoothed ATR to the Moving Average of the ATR. The smoothed is too short term to me and almost no difference from the original ATR. I've updated and uploaded the one I changed here.

I also attached how I have started to think about using it with some lines to show where longs and shorts would have been taken based on the ATR being above the slow ATR moving average. The last one would have been a loser so trying to figure out a way to refine.

Let me know if I can help with any of the ideas your thinking about. I hope to set this up and run it in a small account when markets are live again.

Thomas that is great news this will be really helpful to me. If I understand this what we will be able to do is create a 'trading context' for a mixture of signals to do their job when a condition to trade exists. To me identifying these times to trade is a really different process than trade signaling, so to have a function that allows this is valuable. Great work Thomas.

Thank you very much, Thomas! This is propably a new important tool in our Swiss Army Knife named TDesk!

@ EJ

Let's keep your indi and its variations in some sort of naming convention or version history. Otherwise, we confuse each other and the SHF community. I'm not on my PC but will change the file description in my post for now.

Later this day, I will combine our two versions and start a Changelog.

Cheers,

Mat
