Hy Mike,
Happy to see you here :D

Babon is a great system and i say that after 1 mounth of trading it (only EURUSD) on live account.

I was trying these week to demoing on other 3 pairs (EURJPY, GBPUSD, USDCHF) and:

- the good news: it is working (even that is hard to me to use new pairs/pivots/supports/resistances)
- the bad news: even if i have 4 m1 charts open simultan on dedicated screen it is very hard to track all of them

i was thinking....maybe one ideea is to put one alarm for the price out of the cloud? :?

Hi Simona!

I'm so glad to see you here!

Thank you for your hard work! Now we don't just think - we KNOW that Babon is good for at least five pairs: EurJpy, GbpJpy (I trade it too), EurUsd, GbpUsd and UsdChf. That's great!

You're absolutely right, I can manage two pairs, but even watching only 3-4 pairs is pretty stressful.

Your idea about the alert is great! Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that I saw something like this on ForexFactory, I can't remember where, but I'll try to find it. And if I won't find it, then we'll ask one of the programmers to create this alert.

Too bad tomorrow is a NFP day. I don't trade the all NFP day, maybe it is stupid of me and I could trade at least several hours after London Open, but better be safe than sorry.

Favorite, I have no free time and so I make no promises. But I am looking at what it would take to make a dashboard. Some questions:
TMA's HalfLength is 20 (it is very important), all other settings are default.
TMA has a default of 20 in the version & template you posted, so I guess we can use all default values.
VERY IMPORTANT: we create this Dashboard ONLY for M1.
I assume Babon-A.tpl is the one we would use for the Dashboard? It has a timeframe of M5 for TMA. Is that what you wanted?
Let's say our TMA is going up. The upper border is already above the Ichimoku cloud. We want the Dashboard to show the first alert when the TMA's center line goes above the Ichimoku cloud.
If the center line goes above the Ichimoku cloud and stays there after the minute candle is closed, then we show in the Dashboard the yellow arrow pointing up. On the right side of this arrow we show the label that says something like "30 degrees" or "40 degrees". This label must show the angle between the TMA's center line and the horizontal line at this moment,
Centerline crossing above the cloud shouldn't be too hard. But you'll have to tell me how you determine "30 degrees" or "40 degrees." An absolute angle like that doesn't make sense on a chart; zoom in or zoom out, or change the chart window height, or scroll back and forth so big moves move in or out of the chart, and the angle CHANGES -- because the X spacing and Y spacing change differently. Here's a simple example:

This makes me wonder how you can use the angle in your strategy!! You need to define it some way that stays constant.
I'd like to have as the default pairs for this Dashboard the following pairs (in this order):
I was thinking of using CandleTiger's 10.4 dashboard as a starting point. With that one you could monitor 28 or more pairs if you wanted to!! (But pop-up alerts would become very annoying with that many pairs!)

Just found this system. Does anyone still trade this system? Is anyone working in the dashboard? I am not a programmer, but interested to follow this system. Anyone use any type of messenger (Skype, Yahoo, etc.) to meet up and talk about the system while we wait for the setups. Looks very interesting I'll download the templates tonight. Thanks.

Yes, Charles, a whole bunch of people (including me) trade this system, a huge FF thread is still very active, but I personally am not interested in discussing the system, teaching, giving signals, exchanging via Skype etc. As I said before, I opened this small thread not to teach the system, but to find a coder. I showed several trades to explain how it works, but I'm not going to run this thread and I'm not going to post more trades.

This is a great trading system, cpearson.
I am surprised that it didn't generate more interest here.
My suggestion to you: read the pdf , follow the rules to the dot, you'll be glad you did.
That's all I'm gonna say.
Cheers.

Hi all,

Here is a Babbon Db and Babbon DB MTF for the above:

Download all indis and place them in the indicator folder. Restart Empty4.

Babbon is an indicator that will plot Ichi and TMA on any chart. The parameter are hard coded.
TMAcustom is identical to TMA posted earlier with the exception that there are no user parameters and is required for the DBs to work.

Note: This an absolute BASIC DB. Functional - Seems to be accurate. Did $1458 today London Open using 1M and 5M on Demo. But then the system is quite conservative.

Add your pairs, Simply pairs , No suffix. eg EURUSD not EURUSdm
Do not leave space between Pairs. A space is a cutoff.
This has to be done in order.
Open a GJ 1 minute Line chart.
Drag the Babbon DB on a Blank chart. (Line Chart with Line color as NONE in chart properties)
Drag the the Babbon DB MTF on the chart. Set the MTF to 5 Minutes. Will add other TFs later if necessary.

In a few Seconds, Charts will fill up with pairs, 1 minute Status and 5 Minute Status

Color Gray and Flat -TMA within the cloud.
Color Yellow and 1Up -TMA above cloud. Blue and 2Up LowerBand above cloud.
Color Yellow and 1Down -TMA below cloud. Red and 2Down UpperBand belowcloud.

TMA within the cloud - Color is Gray and status is Flat.

Save the template. Otherwise you will have to add the pairs again.

Buy when both columns are Blue and 2UP
Sell when both columns are Red and 2Down

There are no Red Circles to click. and no alerts as of now.

Needs a few enhancements. But will leave that for later.

Let's see how this goes.

Cheers

Pat

PS. Steve , its been a while.

Edit: Delete all Babbon files from your indicator folder and re download all Babbon files.
