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

[Zennor]

Last day of forward testing. Just closed 3 GBP signals short for 87 pips for today - all winners. I am done.

Over the last 5 days I have taken 31 trades with this system of which 24 (77%) were winners for a grand total of 510 pips. Best day was 187 pips and worst day was 40 pips.

The system is a variation of Bob's Rainbow concept, using CSS signals and MA trend filters.

I have thrown together a pdf that describes what I have called the Awfully Simple System in a bit more detail. Also, I have attached the indicators that I use. The CSS indicator is of course on post #1.

For those interested, best of luck!

Pakeha,

Your system looks very interesting and certainly looks to have an edge, well done, will definitely give this system a go. :hi:

Hi,

I just tried to call the iCustom but no success so far.

Do you receive values?

Thanks

BobbyT,

Now that the code is available, grab the newest version on post#1. This will make the iCustom call simple. Drop the indi in your indicators folder and set up the 'extern inputs' to fit your strategy. Now you just call the buffer you want to access.

Code: Select all

/*
//indicator buffers
double   arrUSD[]; //0
double   arrEUR[]; //1
double   arrGBP[]; //2
double   arrJPY[]; //3
double   arrAUD[]; //4
double   arrCAD[]; //5
double   arrNZD[]; //6
double   arrCHF[]; //7
*/

string CSSSuperFile = "Gary's.BaludaSuperCSS.v.2.0";

//this iCustom call will use default inputs in 'CSSSuperFile'
double Curr1Val = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(), CSSSuperFile, 0, 0); //USD
double Curr1ValPrior = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(), CSSSuperFile, 0, 1); //USD
double Curr2Val = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(), CSSSuperFile, 7, 0); //CHF
double Curr2ValPrior = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(), CSSSuperFile, 7, 1); //CHF

Here are two links I reference before using iCustom.

Hope this helps,

Make sure you have hardcoded the externs for gprince's method to work. And it does work. I am using it to validate my poor attempts at updating the CSS library

May I ask you to send me a file with the iCustom working?

I just tried this method without success.

I am not new to iCustom but this time I struggle

The thing that is not so clear in gprince's post is hardcoding the externs. This is simply done by removing 'extern' from each of the indicator inputs. I can only assume that you know how to do this if you know how to use iCustom. Once you do this you can store the iCustom calls in 'double' variables and you will have captured what you are after.

If you still struggle, I will be about for another hour or so.

BobbyT

PS: Maybe lets move this to PM to save the thread from necessary congestion.

^necessary?! Lets try un-necessary

Last day of forward testing. Just closed 3 GBP signals short for 87 pips for today - all winners. I am done.

Over the last 5 days I have taken 31 trades with this system of which 24 (77%) were winners for a grand total of 510 pips. Best day was 187 pips and worst day was 40 pips.

The system is a variation of Bob's Rainbow concept, using CSS signals and MA trend filters.

I have thrown together a pdf that describes what I have called the Awfully Simple System in a bit more detail. Also, I have attached the indicators that I use. The CSS indicator is of course on post #1.

For those interested, best of luck!

Awesome pakeha. Really detailed yet simple. I will have a look and do some testing.

Are you an All Black supporter?

Nah. I am a dirty Bok. But will watch any good footy

Any chance you can post vS_PivotsD_v4? The one on your post (DWMPivots) doesn't seem to work. Could you also upload your template?

Cheers
