Hi Margo,
I can not understand your trading logic or the logic of your settings - on one script you have one and on the other -? And the pattern in general ???. WHERE basis?
Firstly you will see that Baluda ss in not part of the TDesk signal. In essence I do not use it in my trading system here. It is merely for reference purposes to check if a trend may be in a slowdown. The moving average overlay in the baluda ss indicator window is a check for me to see whether we are either in a slowdown or a reversal situation. Ater the 9th of October we had 5 days of retrace with EurUsd and you will see that Baluda's daily ss turned green therafter. I would have gotten out of any sell trades and at the time we did not have Steve's Trading partner Ea. On the contrary I would have entered buy trades. To cut a long story short. Baluda's Ss is merely a tool I use to close trades and look at the overall trend.
Since the inception of Steve's Trading partner Ea I have updated the latest setfiles which I posted and with the use of desky Ea I have not manually intervened and did not have a need for it yet, but trust me there will be a day thay that I will intervene. For now my indicators are turning in tandem with Baluda's Superslope and Steve's Ea doing the opening and closing of trades individualistically. I still have to have Baluda's superslope for visualisation, because not having it, is like sending me to war without a weapon, if this makes sense.
If you are testing this system rather look at overall results than trying to analyze why I am using a pattern or logic and the basis of it. I have gone into detail in my manual Hgi thread, with the use of these indicators so I suggest you go there to get a better understanding. I use things for a reason and hopefully others will utilize these tools as well rather than trying to follow a system blindly. If not suited for you I suggest you try another system.
Cheers
Leon
