Hello Baluda,
I am a NB follower, and have been using your CSS concepts over several versions. Currently, using Empty4 build 765. It works quite nicely. Thanks for your efforts to help the community!

I have a query regarding NB10.7 CSS.v.2.0 12 pairs_6xx.mq4

The way that I learn is to look at the coding and try to understand the logic, so that I can more clearly interpret the output. I am still learning to understand this current CSS, and I have a question / clarification that I would like to understand. Here it is:

The 'green' and 'red' dots that are shown next to the currency name(s) are to alert the user to the fact that currency strength has either:
a) passed from the +20 line toward the zero line (going down)...or
b) currency strength has passed from the -20 line toward the zero line (going up).

what confused me was the color.
I had expected the dot color to be red as strength went from +20 toward the zero line. what I observed was that the dot was green.
I had expected the dot to be green as currency strength moved from -20 toward the zero line. What I observed was that the dot was red.
Was that the intent? What I have mis-understood?

In my digging thru the code, I found line 930 and line 939
if ( priorValue > 0 && currentValue < 0 )
{
//DrawBullet( windex, objectName, horizontalShift * 0 + horizontalOffset - 55 + 136, (verticalShift + 2) * (i + 1) + verticalOffset - 21, colorLevelHigh ); [this gives a limegreen dot]
}
.......
........
else if ( priorValue < 0 && currentValue > 0 )
{
//DrawBullet( windex, objectName, horizontalShift * 0 + horizontalOffset - 55 + 136, (verticalShift + 2) * (i + 1) + verticalOffset - 21, colorLevelLow ); [this give a crimsonred dot]
}

This is a minor question, but it was nagging at me. If you have time to reply, that is great. If not, that is ok.
Again, thanks for your effort to help us all try and make a few pips each day! :-)

Regards.

spgandau,

The version you are referring to is a mod that I did not do. It is probably best to put this in the general 10.7 CSS thread.

Sorry,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I have been using CSSDiff on my charts for manual trading. Really like it as it gives a immediate impression of what is happening.

In your description you mention that v1.0.2 is the current version.
However in the list of Post 1 version v1.00 is attached. When I open the file in editor it also says v1.00.

I looked and searched but could not yet find v1.02. Can you give me a pointer where to find v1.0.2?

Alvast bedankt,
Peter

I checked and it seems that the version in the thread is indeed v1.0.2. Just did not update the version number.

Greetz,

Paul

Ok, thanks for checking.
As said, the CCSDIFF from post 1 works beautifully. Just wanted to make sure I had right version.
I wish I had your coding talent / experience.

Bedankt == Thanks

Hi Paul,
I am using CSSDIFF to complement my D1 trading on all 26 pairs with HGI, Daily Data and Hurst indis (and some trend/SR and Fib lines) open on all charts . I have tried the HGI matrix but prefer to spend an hour at end of day close analysing all opportunities (looking at Price action and SR etc) hence the use of all charts. - - I have a problem the Empty4 platform it is sluggish at 50% CPU and mem at 500k on my vps. I understand the massive calcs that these CSS indis do and have slowed HGI to update every 300s - can I slow CSSDIV or reduce its span without compromising its accuracy (D1 only)? or am I missing something else (apart from the obvious limitations of Empty4)?

hi all,
congratulations to Baluda and all those who have contributed to this trhread.
I am following CSS-DIFF and I see that it is very greedy for power processor so as to slow down Empty4 and sometimes crashes.

thank you :good:

Just set the number of bars to 150 or something like that. 0 means all history and it will be slow.

spotdespot thanks, I had not thought, I will change

another thing I want to know: do you think it makes sense to set the indicator CSSDIFF with ignorefuture false?
how can I make a decision on something that does not change the past?
okay that serves as confirmation of other parameters, but not convenient to set it to true?

thanks in advance :)

That's a question you will have to answer yourself. Most use it with ignorefuture = true but...... ;)

Be aware that visual backtesting will look too good to be true if you use ignorefuture = false (because it is) but that doesn't mean it isn't useful like that when forward testing. But I can't tell you which to use.

Cheers,
Dave.
