SH - auto word changes may be confusing to new members or anyone not 'in the know'. I'd suggest having a list somewhere of all the words that are auto-corrected if you are to keep them. Over n' out!

Steve,

I agree--For us Newbie's its a criminally, crap idea and should be immediately aborted.

Have a bath and a tumbler of something amber, and you'll feel much better.
:lol: Got a tumbler. Just in s bad mood about Abortions, having spent much of my recent life battling with them. Ignore me. Most people do, quite productively.

Mind, I sm now going to coin a new forum epithet. We already have Criminals and the whole range of Crap....... From here on in, custom indis will be known as Abortions until said Abortion has actually proven it has some value. :lol:

:D
Steve you are a riot. Basically there are two kinds of indis, ones that draw straight lines from left right horizontal and ones that draw lines at some kind of angle. Some indis will keep the lines fixed and some they will continue to move as info comes in. All are based on the concept that if price is coming from one direction and heading to the line, if it has enough momentum to cross the line it probably will keep going for a while. Other indis take the same information and will draw bars, color areas, etc etc. Once you understand that pick two, one that draws straight lines and one that draws angle lines and trade. This one is my favorite personal indi. I call the X indi. looks like this. Maybe you will want to code this one on a boring day. :mrgreen:

If you modify:

Code: Select all

      if (Close[i]>up[i+1]) {
         trend[i]=1;
...         
      }
      else if (Close[i]<dn[i+1]) {
         trend[i]=-1;
...
      }
By:

Code: Select all

      if (dn[i]>up[i+1]) {
         trend[i]=1;
...         
      }
      else if (up[i]<dn[i+1]) {
         trend[i]=-1;
...
      }
or

Code: Select all

up[i]=medianPrice;
dn[i]=medianPrice;
      
      band_upper = medianPrice + Multiplier*atr;
      band_lower = medianPrice - Multiplier*atr;
      
      if (band_lower>up[i+1]) {
         trend[i]=1;
...
         
      }
      else if (band_upper<dn[i+1]) {
         trend[i]=-1;
...
      }
From what I saw on screen filter out a lots of bad trades and having better outputs

Bugs will appear, I'm not a good coder it would take a few days to resolve that many here takes seconds.

Supertrend seems to be a good filter at least better than Parabolic SAR I will use it as a filter in MACD EA.

Hi All,
i'm starting to like this TG. I've seen his personality and i like what i see.

he takes one trade per chart. Definately no over trading.
Positions are generally open for some time, maybe a few days, but with no Sl and TP's its looking very, very good.

The account barely gets noticed because i'm sitting with a 100k demo account and playing with 0.1 lots, up from 0.01. I'm turning up the volume here and going to 1 full lot per position.

I'm on 6 major charts,all on 1HR, MPTM doing my BE and JS thingy for me and sitting with a little DD now, so what, this TG hardly loses.
Results showing on demo so far, so now with the volume up, lets see how he swanks , or drops off a plank.

anyone else still running TG? any results, opinion?

cuz

Hi STeve, Trader,
here is the set file for MPTM and for TG.
Please be patient with this one. MPTM is on a 1M eurusd chart and TG is running on 1HR charts.

please check the demo list for any other info on Trendy Gary. Info from when started OOTB and then how we get to the present set file.

regards and good luck,
cuz

EDIT..EDIT..EDIT.....5 Jan 2013.
Hi all,
About a week or two ago, Steve updated his post 1 for MPTM, availabele here;
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... ?f=21&t=64

The original files are staying here for Trendy Gary and the original set file for MPTM which was available prior to the update from Steves MPTM. The updated MPTM is whats downloadable from the link above. I have checked and can confirm that there will be no difference if you are already on the new MPTM, so this set file will do exactly what it supposed to do.

The only difference i have now is that right at the end of the parameters for MPTM ,the following, i am 'false' for all 3, Should'nt make a difference at all. So please go ahead and experiment as you like with the BE and JS setting here. There is no hedging for Trendy Gary.
