10.4 A Complete System

[nanningbob]

New version CurrencySlopeStrength v1.0.6 in post 1 of this thread.
Changes:

• Added timeframe to display table.

CSS FAQ
Q: Which symbols does CSS use to calculate CSS?
A: When 'autoSymbols' is set to true CSS uses all symbols in the Market Watch (Ctrl+M) window. When 'autoSymbols' is set to false CSS uses all symbols in 'symbolsToWeigh' excluding the symbols the broker does not offer.

Q: Does it matter if charts are open?
A: No, CSS does not look at any chart. For example you can have EURDKK open which means EURDKK is in your Market Watch window. Therefore CSS will include it when 'autoSymbols' is set to true. When 'autoSymbols' is set to false and EURDKK is not in 'symbolsToWeigh' CSS will not include it.

Q: What timeframe does CSS use?
A: This depends on the setting of 'autoTimeFrame', when set to true is uses the timeframe of the chart CSS is on. When 'autoTimeFrame' is set to false CSS uses the 'timeFrame' parameter which defaults to D1. When an error is made in the 'timeFrame' parameter D1 is used.

Q: What is 'ignoreFuture'?
A: Asked and answered many times, please do your homework.

Q: Do I need a state-ot-the-art/bleeding-edge/high-end PC to use CSS?
A: No, however CSS does need some processing power, it crunches a lot of numbers. You can limit this by setting the 'maxBars' parameter to a smaller value. Do you really need to to see back a Thousand candles in the past?

Please feel free to ask me anything. (About my EA's and indicators that is, this is not Reddit.)

Pheww, got myself out of a stupid trade done this morning, not sure what got into me, i decided to hedge myself against yen dropping RIGHT where it was the lowest. ended up with unneccessary losses.

Managed to cover back those losses and now letting the remaining lots run, lets see how many more legs JPY has

If it is any consolation, I came close to doing this. I persuaded myself to have some faith in Bub's uderstanding of fundies and managed to stop myself, but it was a close-run thing.

Well hope you didn't find yourself in another hot spot just a while ago.

Managed to cover my losses with a quick trade. Need to start trading ala CJ With tight SL so that events such as today won't screw me up so much!

My AUD/USD & AUD/CAD trades moving nicely. A/U +72, is moving better than A/C +21, but they are coming around.

Waiting on E/J, G/J and U/J however, I have it short in another account where I trade only counter trades. This is a Micro account where I am trying to learn market action by forcing myself to watch trades I take counter trend. Believe it or not, it helps.

You can post your counter trend trades and tactics on the "10.4 advanced and counter" thread

You would be doing a trd journal and keeping it alive (I hate to see a good thread fade)

I absolutely believe it helps. Even the tiniest of trades, gives me a much more connected feel of the market. Plenty of support for the "scout" position as a model. Then add on confirmation, or at whatever intervals. Interesting idea to trade the CT or reversal in the same manner. Should be great to get a sense of should I be long, short, or standing aside. (For me real money adds to the dimension significantly. But isn't necessary for some.)

Nice.
