slope of the slope doesn't seem to work to well for me on 15min time frame, maybe its better for higher tf

I'm speechless right now ..

@burst2d read this:

This reading is the slope difference between the slopes if that makes any sense to you. You start by setting the begin timeframe you want to watch and then select the end timeframe you want to end with. The beginning timeframe must be less than or equal to the ending timeframe. 9x9 will do the rest and give you a total slope of the slope.

Hope this help if someone else will ask too.

Best regards,
Milosz

monty,

No, you aren't missing a thing and found a bug ..

For the do it yourselfers, on line 575 and 576 change the "> 1" to "> 0"

Update in post 1 version 2.3.

Thanks

Their appears to be a problem with sequence of events as far as the "UseBigPictureClose" is concerned when using BigPictureClose:

I left strength out to simplify & test
Corrected my example
OLD
line 575-if(CountOrders(OP_BUY,Magic) >0 && CSS_BigPicture < BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseSellOrders(Magic);else CloseBuyOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Close

line 576- if(CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic) > 0 && CSS_BigPicture > -BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseBuyOrders(Magic);else CloseSellOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Closeis reversed.

New with changes but a different problem
line 575-if(CountOrders(OP_BUY,Magic)>0 && CSS_BigPicture > BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseSellOrders(Magic);else CloseBuyOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Close

line 576- if(CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic) > 0 && CSS_BigPicture < -BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseBuyOrders(Magic);else CloseSellOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Closeis reversed.

Ray,

Line 575 and 576 should both be " > 0 " on the CountOrders(). It was "> 1"

So this is the question the lines are asking:

575: "Are there any Buy orders open? [CountOrders(OP_BUY,Magic) > 0], if the answer is greater than 0, we have open buy positions. Then let's ask another question. Is the Big Picture reading less than the BigPictureClose setting? [CSS_BigPicture < BigPictureClose] If the answer is yes, and the CountOrders is greater than 0, we need to close the positions ..

Monty reported the bug this morning and the fixed is in version 2.3 on the first post.

This is the correct code:

Code: Select all

   if(UseBigPictureClose)
   {
      if(CountOrders(OP_BUY,Magic)> 0 && CSS_BigPicture < BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseSellOrders(Magic);else CloseBuyOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Close
      if(CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic)> 0 && CSS_BigPicture > -BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseBuyOrders(Magic);else CloseSellOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Close
   }

unless I'm mistaken,
line 575- if(CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic) < 0 should be ) >0.
line 576- if(CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic) > 0 should be ) <0. Get them to act like a TP.

Hmm .. after watching 9x9 EA trade .. I've come to the conclusion that it's a breakout trader. The only problem with it ... it takes the position before the breakout!

So, my thoughts are that the Big Picture is to sensitive by using the lower timeframes. I'm going to desensitize the Big Picture by changing the BeginBigPictureTF to M15. Then maybe raise the StrengthTotalOpen if that doesn't help enough.

I wasn’t referring to the first criteria (CountOrders(OP_BUY,Magic)> 0 I was refering to the second CSS_BigPicture < BigPictureClose). I corrected my inaccurate example. I tried the new v2.3 but couldn’t even get close to winning. So I’m fishing for an angle.
I see what's happening. Looks like we need some more of your wizard coding.
BigPictureOpen = 10 (bpo)
BigPictureClose = 20 (bpc)
NA/StrengthTotalOpen = 200
The first trade kicked in at 10 and out at 20, but the bpo was more then 10 so it fired another buy trade then it was above bpc so it sold then rinse & repeat.…..etc …etc. We basically lost the spread.
I’ll let you know what’s going on. I'm running lower TFs but not using M1-MN1

Ray,

I see what you are saying now. Instead of chasing price from the breakout .. chase price from the retrace. I love this place! Just the opposite of how it works now. I'll code it up .. and we will see what happens.

Dwain

PS .. GREAT JOB Ray!

Dwain,
I have Had the Slope Gizmo on the BeginBigPictureTF = M15 ever Since I have Started Trading with it and it Hasn't let me Down so far, I don't know how this Particular Set up Eluded you ... hahahahaha...

I've been testing the new setup inspired by Ray and I think you will like this one. In 6 hours, my equity is up 25%. Now let's see if the EA can keep it. Post 1 9x9 EA Version 3.0. I'm going to leave version 2.3 because I have removed a lot of the settings in 3.0 and 3.0 uses different logic.

The OOTB settings are the ones I'm using.

EDIT: FYI, I'm trading the 28 majors with a $200 USD balance. By doing this, it will help those get started with a small investment.
