BALUDA'S SUPER CSS-2.0. THE SIMPLEST TRADING SYSTEM EVER

[JohnLancs]

I suspect that I need to wait for the candle with the arrow to close but on this set up am I waiting for the close of the H1 (my chart TF) or H4 (my CSS TF)? Looking at history the moves seem to come in the hour after the arrow, and the move is often mostly done by 4h later so I would miss it if I waited for the 4h to close.

SL - I see 2 x ATR(20) being recommended as SL but again is this on chart TF or CSS TF?

A very simple answer John. You set to Css on whatever time frame you like, the entry will only come at the next Bar as per your broker when you trade superslope, so four hour will be at the next bar four hours late or I hr will be 1hr later,,,,, so if you are trading small timeframes against the higher timeframe super slope, always wait for the next bar on the higher timeframe before you look for your entry on the smaller timeframe.

All in all grasp this concept and you will go ahead in forex.

Hope I make sense.

Right, so the arrow doesn't mean 'take a trade', it means 'wait for confirmation on CSS TF bar close then take a trade if it's still there'.

Thanks for the response.

Yes correct John. Only then do you look for confirmation on the smaller time frame.

Leon,

A couple of questions:

1) What timefame are you trading (& what TF's is Superslope set to)?

2) Is it profitable?

Thanks in advance,

John

Here's a display mod for 'Baluda.SuperSlope.v.2.2'. Replace this block of code in OnInit().

Simply a cosmetic mod to display TF, Slope period and ATR period if you're interested.

Cheers,

Gary

Code: Select all

   //unique indicator name
   almostUniqueIndex=IntegerToString(ChartWindowFind());
   string indiInputs = "("+TFToString(userTimeFrame)+"_"+IntegerToString(SlopeMAPeriod)+","+IntegerToString(SlopeATRPeriod)+")";
   shortName=indicatorName+indiInputs+"_id"+almostUniqueIndex+"  ";
   IndicatorShortName(shortName);
   windex=WindowFind(shortName);

Which would be the theoretically correct way to only calculate on new candle

option 1
Use a default of 0 and hope that this works to mean null

Capture 2.PNG

option 2
set an arbitrarily high second count and never reach the threshold

secondly, question

If the indicator is kept in a separate template file, then later open the chart AFTER the new candle has formed, it should get the same result as if the chart had stayed open with the indicator on new candle. BUT (I am having trouble with this issue) apparently the indicator uses the open tick at the time that the chart was opened and not the actual candle open tick. Is this preventable?

Hi Nathan,

Replace the current function with the code below. Set the inputs as follows for new bar calculation...

EveryTickMode = false;
ReadEveryNewBar = true;
ReadEveryXSeconds = 0;

            nextReadTime = TimeCurrent() + 5184000; //5.184M seconds = 60 days

Thanks Gary, will give that code a bash.

Made script, which show slope value and direction using CSS lib at the bar you will drop on to.
Move to /Scripts

There have been some monumentally stupid posts here recently. I have deleted them.

Assume that if your post has been deleted that I think you are a moron. Your next post at SHF could easily be your last. Your best interest here is served by staying very quiet for a long time.

I remind SHF members that SHF is a meritocracy, not a democracy. Members win the right to post freely by doing so valuably in the first place. Cretins are not welcome.

Read post 1 folks. It tells you what you need to know.

I would like to export the historical SS value for a currency into Excel for an experiment I am doing (not back testing in Craperquotes) so I can have Open High Low Close SSVal going back daily or by timeframe for an individual currency pair shown on the charts example GBPUSD pair GBP: 0.5332 which is the value of the signal line. Is this possible?
