GANN HiLo Activator?

[kinkeadfx]

I was wondering if it was possible to convert the GANN HiLo Activator into a working automated strategy? I have been watching the indicator on lower time frame charts and it looks like it has alot of potential!

Any Takers?

Thanks!

Its a custom trend following indicator that works on any time frame that helps find accurate entries and exits! I have been watching the indicator on charts for many different instruments for a long time and feel it has great potential for profits! I think if it was made into an expert advisor it would have great results!

But what does it indicate, and on what basis?

Attaching a screen shot of indicator in action would help.

If the indicator is the same one I have here, it simply shows the breakout of a channel made from an N period SMA of the High/Low. Once price closes above the High (or below low) it shifts to buy (or sell) mode and shows the SMA of the Low instead of the SMA of the High.

I simulate it in an ea with the following code, which scans backwards looking for the last cross above/below the SMA channel:

Code: Select all

string GetGANN(int per) {

   string direction=none;
   
   for(int i=0;i<bars;i++)   
   {
      double SMAHigh = iMA(NULL, 0, per, 0, MODE_SMA, PRICE_HIGH, i+1);
      double SMALow = iMA(NULL, 0, per, 0, MODE_SMA, PRICE_LOW, i+1);
   
      if (Close[i+1] > SMAHigh )
      {
         direction = up;
         break;
      }
      if (Close[i+1] < SMALow )
      {
         direction = down;
         break;
      }
   }

   return(direction);   

}

I am interested in the Gann HiLo as well.
The indie is not the Gann but the SSL_Channel by mladen which is same but with alert . The cross is usually the same place where the gann crosses price .
