Yes, it was.

This is why I included the option to turn it off for counter-trend trading. A move to the lowest line signals a ct buy, so Slope is unlikely to be >= 0.4 by then; we shall have to see.

I assume Slope will be most useful when trading the white box, trading the exit of the box in the direction indicated by Slope.

All this is experimental and may come to nothing. We shall have to see.

Hehe. I had no lessons yesterday and have none today - got one hell of a tomorrow to make up for them. :lol:

So, officially I have two days off. Have I spent them chilling? Sitting in the garden with a bottle? Nope. I have spent them coding. Hey ho.

:D

We are all addicts of one type or another...

I wondered how slope would apply to the Beast's CT trading. Thanks for the clarification.

V 1a is in post 1.

I saw why SB had placed a sell stop when Slope was buy and hold, and a sell stop when sell and hold, as soon as I looked at the code. It was a logic bloop. Those of you who can, simply copy/paste this over the top of the existing function:

Code: Select all

bool CheckSlope(int type)
{
   //Called from any point in the code that is about to send a trade, and cancels the trade if Slope does not agree
   
   if (HtfTimeFrame == 0 && LtfTimeFrame == 0) return(true);//Slope not being used
   
   if (type == OP_BUY)
   {
         if (HtfTimeFrame > 0 && (HtfSlopeTrend != buyonly && HtfSlopeTrend != buyhold)) return(false);
         if (LtfTimeFrame > 0 && (LtfSlopeTrend != buyonly && LtfSlopeTrend != buyhold)) return(false);
   }//if (type == OP_BUY)
   
   if (type == OP_SELL)
   {
         if (HtfTimeFrame > 0 && (HtfSlopeTrend != sellonly && HtfSlopeTrend != sellhold)) return(false);
         if (LtfTimeFrame > 0 && (LtfSlopeTrend != sellonly && LtfSlopeTrend != sellhold)) return(false);
   }//if (type == OP_BUY)


   //Got this far, so Slope must be ok
   return(true);
}//bool CheckSlope(int typ
Also change the version variable to 1a at the top of the file.

:D
