240 MA BUY.ABOVE_SELL.BELOW

Post by duxia »

If there is a sell/buy alert pop up but no arrow painted on the screen, is it a valid signal? I am trading lower TF and there seems to be a pop up alert at the start of each new TF, but the arrow may or may not appear. Do I act solely on arrow?

Yes it updates the latest signals. You go with the arrows. Working on changing that. I trade 4H charts so this is not as big of a problem with me.

For example the 240 on the 4H is the same as the 60 on the daily and 960 MA on the hourly. The 240 on the 1H is the same as 60 on the 4H and 10 on the daily. On the 15M the 240 is the same as the 60 on the hour and the 15 on the 4H. So when you change TF the program deletes all the arrows and resets them to the new TF. When you switch back to the 15M the arrow is gone because the conditions of that trade are gone, price changed direction. If you stay on the 15M TF the arrow should stay and it would be a losing trade. I believe that is how the program works.

Bob,

I entered a sell trade in the higher tf (h4) and it is below the Yellow 240 MA Line . I was surprised, when I went to H1 tf, price is above the Yellow MA Line. Calculation of the 240 MA equivalency in the lower TF may not be correct.

I have email alerts turn on and I'm only using Trend signals. I get an email every hour saying whatever the last signal was. Its not drawing an arrow at the time of the email, not sure if thats a bug or just a feature?

for example:
at 2:01pm, I got one saying sell. arrow drawn,
at 3:01pm, I got email saying sell, no arrow
at 4:01pm, I got email saying sell, no arrow

V.11 update is found on page 1 post 1. Hopefully we have fixed most of the bugs. I also added a 60 MA version. 240 MA version follows monthly trends, 60 MA version based on weekly trends. To find out the importance of the 240 MA line and why I use it see my 10.4 trading manual.

I didnt know where to put this but you coder geeks need to get your heads wrapped around this. My son has been working on this for the last several years and now they have come out in public. I would imagine future computers will be going to this kind of system. So daddy bragging time here, he is also a part owner. :)

“Soft Machines’ VISC architecture takes a big step forward in solving the most critical problem in CPU design today: single-thread performance,” commented Linley Gwennap, principal analyst of The Linley Group. “By shifting the burden to hardware, VISC aims to deliver the benefits of multi-threading to all applications.”

Maybe Empty4 will work better in the future................... Steve dont hit me no no no .......
