In terms of microscalping I found this thread. Maybe this is interesting for someone.

Basically the method of this thread is about support becoming resistance and vice versa - something Anek has mentioned several times.

Forum is up again, link should work now...

Here is the ELD for the Tradestation showme that jychiu coded. (He posted the zip file a few pages back)

Inputs:
{BuyColor/SellColor is the color code for buy/sell signal, Magicstick is one tick below the trigger price
0.25 for ES/NQ, 0.1 for ER2}
BuyColor(Cyan),
SellColor(Magenta),
Magictick(0.25);

If High>High[1] and Low>Low[1] and Low[1]>=Low[2] and Low[2]<=Low[3] and Low[3]<=Low[4] Then
Begin
{chiu change plot1(low) to plot1(High[1]+Magictick),Low[2]<Low[3] to Low[2]<=Low[3] }
Plot1(High[1]+Magictick,"buyp",BuyColor);
Alert("3BR Buy");
End;

If Low<Low[1] and High<High[1] and High[1]<=High[2] and High[2]>=High[3] and High[3]>=High[4] Then
Begin
{chiu change plot1(High) to plot1(Low[1])-Magictick, High[2]>High[3] to High[2]>=High[3]}
Plot2(Low[1]-Magictick,"sellp",SellColor);
Alert("3BR Sell");
End;

----------------------------------

He does a neat thing: He marks the entry point at the exact point on the bar where the magic tic occurs. That is very cool, but I don't want the mark messing up my charts. I want it above the bar for sell signals, and below the bar for buy signals.

So all I did was change where the showme thing is located, and I added the ability to move it varying distances from the top (or bottom) of the bar.


So I added the line:
Increment(1);

as an input, inserted below his "Magictick"



And I changed the plot1 command to:

Plot1(LOW -Increment,"buyp",BuyColor);

And I changed the plot2 command to:

Plot2(HIGH +Increment,"sellp",SellColor);

All that does is puts the showme dot or cross either above or below the signal bar. Plus, I can adjust the number of tics it sits above or below the bar. I also changed to colors to red (for sell) and green. That's all! Will post a chart later.

Also, it looks like I added some extra logic for the bearish 3BR. Might produce more signals. I will check

For unknown reason, the link disappeared. See the attached chart.

Hi guys, working on trading plan and came across one of my old cheat sheets... posting for anyone who has use for it... needs to be marked up for AHG (Fastone capture should work well)

trade well, be well...

Thank you for the chart patterns, they are fine. I am a new reader of this admirable journal, now on page 257. When I read a longer story, I always check the last page!

Brutus,

I'm 100% heterosexual. But if you keep things like this up I'm going to make sweet love to you :eek:



Thanks man! I appreciate you posting the logs. The Anek highlights were are an awesome touch too! I'm sure the others who can't be in the chat room during the day appreciate it as well.

Thanks again

ME code for Sierra users.

Lot's of commented code, used for debugging. Enjoy.

It also has a volume counter.
