Ducks In A Row

[Aussiedoc]

Mate, the girls love the idea of me having a programme with a duck that quacks when everything is lined up. They are having a great time looking for a sound-file of ducks quacking that I can substitute for the standard alert.wav

Cheers, Doc

That's easy. Put the attached wav file in your <broker-name>\sounds directory (you'll have to unzip it first, the board doesn't allow wav files). The attached script will test it out. :>

They love it! Thanks very much!

Please find Ducks_M5 template attached. I have done as you suggested and set all the internal values the way I reckon they work best. The only one I am unsure about is the RSI Lookback candles. I take it that the angle is measured over the past 3 candles - going from <45 to >55, or vice versa?


Cheers, Doc

Doc,

Do you have the update template with DUCK.mql for H1,D1 time frame?
Could you kindly share to us.

Hi! Thanks for dropping by.

The short answer to your question is ...no! The template was designed to be used on all TFs. All you will need to do is change the TP & SL accordingly.

Please understand that George is still working on the indicators... when he gets time amongst all his normal work... and Steve is still working on the engine... when he gets time amongst all his normal work. So; until you see it posted on the Forum main pages, with Steve's usual cautions and warnings, Ducks is still a works in progress!

Thanks,

Cheers

New Member & first post. Many thanks for the 'Ducks' Aussiedoc. Really appreciate it. Like you I'm no longer young, and also like you....I can now get some SLEEP!
Bearing in mind the above....have I missed the version of 'Ducks' with an alert....mine has none. Please. please tell me I have missed it, & where to find it!

Thanks again

Hi! My apologies for not getting back to you with an answer for so long. Unfortunately my practice has been keeping me flat-chat.

My original system was made up of a lot of indicators ( which Steve hates - and since joining his Forum I can understand why) because I was new to Forex and didn't know any better.

I now trade a modified version.

Simple system:-
3 MAs - 3, 8 & 50 smoothed MA.
The Crossover Signal indi to give me a heads-up on a possible entry - via both an on-screen and an auditory alert .

SMMA Crossover Signal.mq4

The Signals Indicator Indi (modified to a fast 3 & slow 8) to check the trend.

#Signal_Bars_v8D.ex4

George's Ducks.mq4 indi (http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 9227#p9227) on a modified Ducks template coupled with a 45/55 RSI indi to give me entry criteria.

MOD DUCKS.tpl

When the MAs cross after a pivot up or down - enter the trade on the first candle that opens above/below the Green 3MA. Set the SL at the previous H/L pivot. When the trade is the Entry - SL into profit - set the BE at Entry + spread. Exit the trade when the 3 & 8 MA cross in the opposite direction.

This is what you should be looking at.

Thanks now!

Cheers

Doc,

what is the time frame for your last post system and template,
do you still trading the system, could you share experience?

[Aussiedoc]

Hi! Sorry to take so long... been just a wee bit busy!

Yep, I still trade the D1 and H4 with Ducks most every day.
Like everything I do it has evolved over time to include new ideas and techniques that have been discussed on these pages... thanks to Steve and everyone's generousity.
Instead of the RSI superimposed upon the Duck 3 + the Duck 4 indi I now use ZZNBRM's version of the 10.2 TMA Slope True.

Hi Aussiedoc,
thanks for sharing your system.
might i ask what is entry criteria derived from the TMA slope true? green(buy only) red(short only)?
and the RSI is removed - so what do u use to filter out chop?

thanks

Nicoacademia, g'day!

Thanks for the enquiry.

Entry is the first candle to open >< (Green) 3MA after the MA cross; where the TMA Slope True bar is ><0.4 (Green = long/Red = short)

The reason I stick to the H4 & D1 is because they take out most of the chop... And, after a bit of experimentation, I found that, with (+/- 0.4) TMA Slope True "Input" values and (+/- 0.4/0.8) levels, that it pretty much took care of the rest.

Thanks now. Cheers

Hi Doc,

I have been reading your posts on this thread and I've been looking for that TMA Slope indicator. It seems as though there are several. The one I have on my charts is just a bit different from yours. Could I trouble you to post the one you are using, please?

Thank you so much.
