Correct, I do not know what the code is and can only go by what i'm reading since I do not use WL. However this is where I got my info from: http://www2.wealth-lab.com/WL5Wiki/(S(xac032ybyilsn155tun1qwnb))/MACD.ashx?Code=1 towards the bottom I saw this line: "Wealth-Lab's classical MACD...

Granted I didn't put much time into researching this. But it appears that MACDex is simply the MACD. I do not use Wealth Lab so i can only go by what i'm reading..but apparently the classic MACD in WL is set to using 26 EMA and 12 EMA... The MACDex indicator lets you specify which 2 EMAs to...

A backtest showing 25 trades is nothing. You can not interpret ANYTHING from those results. The number of trades is way too small to draw any conclusions.....

If you decided to go the route of building your own server farm for this. Which wouldn't be a bad idea. To have a server farm dedicated specifically for TickZoom.. one issue you will run into is the data.... To share data with users like this, especially 5 years worth of tick data is VERY...

I find this comical. ANYONE given a chart without price but containing what the value of the indicators will be for the entire duration can pick good entries and exits. So, I do not take that "exercise" as showing that this strategy will be profitable in the slightest. That is not to say that it...

It seems anytime money management is brought up, your told for example to make 2 pts for every 1 you risk... or 2.5:1... The reasoning is normally something along the lines of if your doing 3:1 then you only have to be right x% of the time to be profitable... Which is beneficial because you...

Ok... lets say I have a stock trade, lets say it was a short... the trade is verify profitable, but I am trying to defer taking profit on the trade for tax reasons. Want to push it into next year, but I want to lock in my profits... The easy solution will be to create a synthetic long using...

Due to testing with range bars being soo slow with NT, I am only testing on a few months of data at this time... however, it appears as close to a true double bottom as possible seems to work best, anything where the 1st and 2nd leg are within 1 ES point of each other seems to do well...

For those of you unfamiliar with this pattern check out: http://www.surinotes.com/Tradestation/articles/suriDragon.pdf Its really just a way to trade double bottoms. The reason I chose this pattern to automate is because I have a few ideas on how I can automate the process of finding double...

This thread has been great so far, keep it up.... Not sure what it has been about the thread, but something clicked that got me on a great path to actually automating a price action strategy using no indicators.. which is a big step for me, since coding to see price action has always been really...

What 4 things?

brownsfan, Several years ago when I first started trading, I did go at it live for a while. The problem I ran into was I had no way of knowing for sure if the patterns I was trying to trade really had an edge.... too many variables.. everything from emotions to violating rules.. etc.. would...

Here is a 4m chart of todays trades...

I still believe this strategy over long term will be profitable, and that the strategy is simply still in a normal draw down period. So I will continue to run it. My dues for collective2 are paid until 5/09. So it will run at least until then. At which point if its still not profitable I will...

brownsfan, Its correct the thread is not about sharing specific details... however, I am willing to answer questions as long as they don't give away too much...

Thanks to the fact it reversed when it got out that long earlier, it is now severely in the red on this short trade.... Exits, need exits

The strategy let a great trade slip through, one that would have finally put it as net positive since going live..... It waited too long after this drop started before it got out, so ended up only making $125 after being up around $1700 at one point.. Exits continue to be a maybe road block...

I had noticed that as well

This strategy has still been running non stop on Collective2. So far the numbers have not been that impressive, but its showing signs of it turning the corner. Which when I look at the historical results, having a few down months in a row can be expected. I still need a few more months of...

this should be an interesting thread. I struggle with the SAME things you are saying about price action.
