I played with your template on a small live acc last week and i must say; HGI with Hurst is simply amazing, it completely takes out all other doubts.

With your permission, i shall be posting live setups this week for constructive purpose.

Pips be with us!
Highest regards

Many thanks for the simplified pointer to Hurst. I had heard of him but never looked too much into his views of the cyclic nature of virtually all traded products. What I find particularly interesting is what you were saying about estimating the potential profitability of a trade once you are in it. I see considerable potential here to create some code that gives you a TP2 or TP3 to aim a residual part of the trade at.

Looking at several charts, it seems to work much of the time. Am I understanding this part of the logic correctly before I start coding?:

• After a few candles into a Buy trade the indicators should have settled and if the trade took place "correctly" (i.e. entered when gold over white for a Buy, etc.), then you can wait for the next low fractal and then later indicator cross. Measure from the cross to the low of the low fractal and then it's reasonable to expect Price/Action to hit (about) double that measured number of pips at some point shortly thereafter.

I see this as a potentially very useful add-on for quite a few EAs.

All the best

Any ideas?

Hurst gives me the length of the run before it is finished and Bob's system give me a good idea of its strength on breakout which Hurst does not. I forgot Hurst gives me the buy and sell arrows to ignore on the HGI chart also. So knowing the length of the run and any arrows to ignore is the icing on the cake in my opinion.

Jeff what you said as I understand it, is correct. And yes I agree it has the potential to be a useful add-on to EA's. From what I have found in the past in the bottom half of a buy. Lowest Low to crossed lines. The top part or half of the run is nearly always within one or two pips of the bottom part. It seems the only times when they are not the same is because of news items. That has been my experience anyway.

I have to admit that seeing the Hurst TMA's cross. Then measuring from the Lowest Low to the cross and noting the pips. For example 75 pips Then watching the run finish and then checking from the cross to the Highest High also being 75 pips or very close to it. Still amazes me. Even in seemingly manipulated markets that use high speed trading. Now if you are into coding Jeff. Remember the Hurst TMA's normally only post on the chart at open only. A very good reason for this is the open of a bar never varies where other parts of the bar can vary extensively. Just thought I would mention that.

Now for me personally I normally trade a specified lot and then get out of half my position a little after the TMA's cross and also make sure the last part is set to at least break even. For the rest of the trade I get out when the 5 TMA alters direction or may be for some other reason. Thanks for you input Jeff. Appreciated as with traders ideas and input my knowledge is increasing too.

So this is my contribution to Bob, Steve, Jemook and all others who make this forum so great. Hope with this idea you can clean the central banks vaults out with mega pips!
