Hi Paul,

me again. MB has taken a buy on EURGBP.

As you can see it touched the DP just shortly and directly took the trade. Is this how it is supposed to be? Don't we wait for a close above the pivot?

Or should i enter 1440 for pivotcrossTF so it accepts the DP?

thanks Paul
Guido

I think we have some confusion. To be clear, this is what MultiBob v1.2.13 shows:
  • CTSBias: DT, UT, DT-RR, UT-RR, DT-R and UT-R (DT-RR/UT and UT-RR/DT will be added in v1.2.14)
  • CTSMom: H1 Slope and colored arrow for weakening or strengthening
  • CTSHPTP: Closest FastTMA line and distance in pips. Changes in signal when reached
  • CTSWrig: Wriggle space to FastTMA + 10 pips when signal is shown in CTSHPTP
My question was about the SlopeValues on your screen. What direction do you mean?

Have you checked the other thread, I put something in there.

Paul
The clarification is informative. Thanks. So let me try to use it as a basis for restating myself:
  • CTSMom: The SlopeValues indy in the shot is set to the H1 TF and has a directional arrow next to each slope value which change as the slope values head downwards or upwards. I am watching those arrows. In the MultiBob display, there is no arrow on most of the CTSMom values (just a couple) - or is it my system? The CTSMom and SlopeValues figures for each pair are eaxctly the same. Its just that in MultiBob the arrows are not showing and changing as they do in SlopeValues and CTS needs the values to be heading in specific directions (I hope I didn't confuse things further there; let me know :lol: )
  • CTSHPTP: CTS entry has to be at only one FastTMA line based on its bias - upper line for a DT-** bias short entry and lower line for a UT-** bias long entry. The display needs to indicate the distance from the line that the bias will use as proximity for entry.
  • CTSWrig: As above, it has to be distance beyond the specific FastTMA line for the bias - the distance beyond the upper FastTMA line for a DT-** short, and distance beyond the lower FastTMA line for a UT-** long. I am wondering if this info is relevant for display; it may be better to use the colum to show triggered entry levels instead. What do you think?
Oh yes, I did ...and am delighted! I will update the template and folder in post #1 accordingly. Many thanks.

Cheers,
CC

CC,

The CTSMom column behaves as described in the 'CTS Notes' pdf. The momentum is only strengthening/weakening (and showing an arrow) if the slope is between +-0.55 and +-0.80. Would you like to drop that and show the arrows 'SlopeValues' style?

CTSHPTP now just shows the nearest FastTMA according to price and its distance in pips. CSHPTP Signals however are only generated at the FastTma and direction specified in the notes pdf.

About CTSWrig, just say the word and i'll drop the display.

Aahhh, I should have known there was a reason why Baluda will make MultiBob to show fewer arrows. No, I actually like it the way it is now, now that I know why. This way, there won't be arrows next to values that are outside the eligibility window. Much better :)

For CTSHPTP, maybe we can tweak MultiBob just a bit so that it will only show the CTSHPTPs that are eligible and hide all the others.

Yeah, I think the CTSWrig column will be better put to use instead to show a trader entry levels that have been triggered, whether in the current test mode or during live trading. That way, the level can then be easily revalidated. In test mode, feed back can then be given regarding any inconsistency with CTS principles to guide further development.

Thanks. Well done.

Cheers,
CC

Can someone tell me if the show"bid" (current price ) is supposed to update - I have not found that on any of the versions - only what the current price is when MultiBob is first activated

Fire,

MultiBob reads its indicator values one a minute. They do not change in between.

Thanks Baluda - I'll add it again and be more patient for the updates :)

CC,

Does this mean the CTSHPTP column should only show values if CTSMom is 'weakening'?

I'll hide the CTSWrig column in the upcoming v1.2.14 until further notice.

The screen shot that CC posted here looks very odd... The USDJPY MP and WP are 0.94 but the DP is 79.20 ?? NZDUSD MP and WP are 64.1110 and 64.0527 but the DP is 0.8195 ?? GBPUSD MP and WP are 0.00 but that's somewhat less suspicious...

Would anyone else like to see a colored dot (green - up) when in a UT-RR the CTSMom changes to>-.55 and an additional dot next to it if this is happening at or near a CTSHPTP - and of course the opposite for DT -RR and for the other CTSBias positions worked out in the same manner?....or something similar in this respect. Maybe one for above/below DP - above/below Ma's - so instead of scanning twenty something charts all day we could concentrate on MultiBob
