You could consider to change the GetTmaTrue() function in Shelley to this:

Code: Select all

void GetTmaTrue(string symbol, int shift)
{
   double IB_TMA = iMA( symbol, 0, xi_Period, 0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_CLOSE, shift );
   double ld_Range = iATR( symbol, 0, xi_ATR.Period, shift + 10 );

   TmaUpper = IB_TMA + (ld_Range * xd_ATR.Mult);
   TmaLower = IB_TMA - (ld_Range * xd_ATR.Mult);
}//void GetTmaTrue(string symbol, int shift)

to get rid of the 'iCustom' call. It brings the TMA True calculation into Shelley.

Side note: I would like to get rid of those ugly, seldom to never changed variables like 'xi_Period' and 'xd_ATR.Mult'. I would like them to be internal instead of 'extern'.

One suggestion, a filter on the lower tf (h1 or m15), say if the reading on D1 is sell, but on lower time frame 2 or 3 bars are moving upward, no trades. We can do this by finding the diffrence of the current bar close against the previous bar, then set a constant number in pips say 3 as your reference point so that if it difference goes beyond 3, no trades yet until the trend goes back in line with the D1.

Simple to code, but there are two ltf filters already. Let's see how they do; we can always add this one.

What do you guys think?

Steve - does this mean we are supposed to trust you and you are no longer an idiot???

EDIT: Had to chuckle when I realised those new here wouldn't have a clue what I was on about.
