Gann Ribbon 10.7 System

Post by **slowkey** » Sun May 18, 2014 7:40 am

Just an update... I hope to have the new manual completed this week end. I am up to 20 pages and will continue on until the system is fully described. It completely does away with the docs which now have become very outdated accept for borrowing information that did not change.

Cheers,

Doug

I am exhausted but the new bundle version 3.3 is in post 1. A description can be found there also.

Cheers,

Doug

Hi Doug,

Thanks very much for this and indeed all your efforts so far :!!:

Looking forward to doing some in depth reading on this now

Here is a chart of the indicator radar developed for low cpu utilization and low memory utilization. I have this running ok on 44 pairs. See post 1
This is the usd vs the South African currency. the range is 960 but it is actually more than that most days. You can only trade this currency during the London US session or the spread is very high like right now.

Hey Doug,

Unless you were using Kino's original PipsToRibbons indicator on every chart, you won't really see much improvement in RAM & CPU usage by using my mod of Padnoter's indie.

The real advantage of the mod comes into play when another indi or an EA needs to know where a particular ribbon's MA's are (price-wise) in relation to other ribbons, or market price, as they can just look at the GV's instead of using iCustom calls, as each time you use iCustom, it loads the T3MA with the required parameters, T3MA does the calculations, then unloads from memory again, which can cause quite a bit of lag (this is how Padnoter's indie works anyway, but why do it with every other indie/EA as well?).

The disadvantage is that it has no historical information that other indies can use, so they can't tell if a ribbon is expanding or contracting, moving closer to or further away from another ribbon, or whether price is moving towards or away from any ribbon... There is a (partial) solution to that, though...

Any indie or EA that requires historical information will have to have a pair of arrays for each ribbon... At the close of each bar, it can pull the prices for both MA's for each ribbon from the GV's, and store them in the arrays, for as far back as required, for whatever analysis is desired.

I say it's a partial solution because it will take a while to populate the arrays that way, and that info is lost when you change chart timeframes, or restart Empty4

Thinking this through as I'm typing here...

If we have such an indie, it will initially have to populate its arrays by...

1. Waiting for a new bar, (or, at least, ensuring there won't be a new bar whilst we're populating our arrays).

2. Calling the T3MA indie with the correct parameters for each MA of each ribbon, from shift 1, as far back as required.

3. Complete any other initialization processes.

Once initialization is complete, we are then free to collect data from the GV's at the close of each bar.

I think that just about covers it

Have fun!

Radar =8^)

Hi Doug,

Hope you are getting some rest after the great 3.3 manual & package you put together. Cheers.

Just been reading the manual again & looking at the charts on the thread and I realise I'm not quite clear what you mean by the dome & cup... is the dome formed by the ribbon shape, or is it formed by the price candles near a ribbon edge?

It's probably just me, but if you or anyone else can help out with a further explanation, I'd be grateful. Or a chart with a hand-drawn dome/cup on in the right place?? I'm really scratching my head over the examples so far.. sorry

Cheers
Padnoter
