Feedback please!!

I made a comment last night on this chart. You can read it here http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 071#p26071

Thanks CC. Would you take that deal yourself?

Update: It did not work, and since I'm testing on lower timeframe, caught it before hopefully anybody else. Went to using only SEMA4X (not 3_Level_ZZ_Semafor) indicator in EA. Added "a" after date in EA name.

Uodate: Found a small glitch in print-out to chart, so updated and added "b" after date in EA name.

Now I need to work on seeing if I can remove need for Fast Tma Line indicator (which uses the re-painting Tma, not TmaTrue. If TmaTrue was used, we could use 20 LWMA Typical and put bands on it).

I know the system takes into account other factors as well and doesn't rely on these indicators it just doesn't feel right for me psychologically. I like to reliably backtest a strategy while I am forward testing so this one is out the window for me. I still believe this is a solid strategy and I'm sure it will work for others so either way I will keep a keen eye on this thread and chime in when I feel I have more to offer. Furthermore your insights into defining all the different pivot formations are pure genius! Good luck!

I thinkn that AUDUSD short was a text book setup according to your strategy, yet, you say you won't "gamble" around the monthly pivot!

What gives!?

RJo wrote:CC, thank you for your clarifying comments. I've done my research and unfortunately I'm having trouble putting everything into language that Empty4 will understand. I'm dealing with several issues:

1. Any EA builder's/template's code is, by definition, limited.
2. My custom coding skills leave much to be desired at the present time--I'm still learning.
3. Much of the data is subjective--I'm attempting to torture it into objectivity. This is not a knock on your strategy. Many manual trading strategies are subjective.
4. I have a hunch that not even a basic bias alert can be correctly built unless, somehow, the last trend status is stored and subsequently called and applied in the analysis of the current trend (I suspect that I'm in a similar predicament in another EA I'm working on as well).
5. I still don't completely understand all the interrelationships bewteen all the indicators and price action.

RJo wrote:In any event, I advise not using v1b/c until I figure out how to fix them--based on your comments. I'll also be looking into MS Powerpoint to see if I can use it to reorganize the data/variables/possible events in a manageable way.

Jem, please feel free to remove the EA's for now if deemed appropriate. I fear some lazy threadgoers might stop at pg 4 and simply load them up.

TMASlopeCTS, Screen I.png

This indicator shows the TMA Slope of the actual timeframe colored according to CC's specs. limitLow and limitHigh, now 0.55 and 0.80, are user configurable. Colors can be set too.

Enjoy,
