"Golden Arches" Project

I'm still trying to work out the logic in places, but have thrown together an EA which hopefully is of some use as a starting point. It draws arrows when the long or short trigger points are met, so can be a way of defining/formulating and elaborating that logic which has been rather sketchy to date. The bands in the CR need to be defined better and possibly that code moved into the EA, so that it becomes more useful to the EA. Please have a look and see if it's even close to being on the right track....

I've added the following into the CR code itself: return(buf1[p]); instead of return(0);. The EA simply checks the last reading, compares to current and gets it's trade direction from there, then it waits for 5, 15 and 60 min Demarker(10)'s to align above 0.95 or below 0.05 in that trade direction - perhaps they should be simply setting a flag here - I don't know. I'm assuming there is more logic required to determine price/price band fitting - but that would require more CR knowledge than I have.

And another...(btw period again is 144, which as it is takes a minute to calculate!)


Note that these curves are now static and the basis of a system can be had...

In addition to the historical trail of the CR, knowing the "bend" to find the best virgin is important. First derivative gives velocity and 2nd acceleration.

Bottom line, every zero line cross is a Virgin being born....
So now we have historical CR and its direction.

Now if I could only log on to IB!

Here is a simpler example. The period was shortened to see more activity but just for kicks.

See how the CR has notched up (barely visible to the naked eye) and thus a virgin bend in progress. Now see the VirginIndicator...

I am not going to even ask how you did this...incredible work...

ES, throughout this entire thread - this is all that describes a golden arch:
"Step Three: If you have an agreement, then scroll down to a 60M..then a 30M...then a 15M...in the CR, you are searching for the best arch which is the earlies bendThis secondary CR in agreement is a confirmation that will give you a bet size. Remember, "Virgin Arches" are best."

I assumed that meant that when the CR bends, we have a virgin arch - but now it seems that is not the case - could you please spend a couple of minutes putting as much detail into describing what a golden arch is, what a virgin arch is and what we are trying to achieve - whether it be a bounce off the CR bands, the more price deviation the better, or what?

Thanks

I use the Demarker, I do not even glance at the arch's...

My earlier research in the deleted thread ...you may remember "Poop or get off the Can" thread, revealed that I could not trade off the Demarker alone...I think I lost 2k on that project.

In my progression, I realized that I needed to ONLY trade in one direction with the use of the Demarker...and use just one side of the altered exhaustion Demarker with the unique settings that I illustrated..as usual this "use one side revelation" "came to me" in delusionary thought during one fine morning at 3:00 AM..as you know, I do not sleep much :)

anyways....

As I work on the phone during the day, I stay warm with five 19" LCD monitors to the left of me at my "L" shaped desk...(I sit at the short side the "L" when on the phone..so the "L" shape is backwards and upside down, like most of my life's journies have been evaluated and experienced).

As I glance at the Demarker in the 4hr. periodicity, I notice breaches of the green or red line or the DeMarker wiggly line in the zone between the green or red dotted & solid lines. It does not mean anything to me at this stage....its just a breach or a zone and a POSSIBLE signal...there is always something happening on the many charts, in the watchlist...

I now look at the 4hr. arch's above the DeMarker for agreement in direction when I catch a Demarker buy or sell zone.

Ok the ARCH'S (custom CR indicator download) shows me a slope...a bend...or sometimes a change or the very beginning of a change...AT THAT MOMENT I AM LOOKING. this is where I observe the SHAPE of things to come...ITS ALL I CAN DO AT THIS POINT AS I HAVE NOTHING. For an arch to be an arch there is a left side and a right side of a trough or a peak...these can be extended very long and at times the arch appears as a diagonal line....BUT IT'S A LEG OF AN ARCH.

The maturity of the arch, I jokingly use terms that appeal to the majority of male traders. If it offends, I will rename the terms into more appropriate reflections.

Virgin Arch: the trough or peak
Mature Arch: The ANTICIPATED EXHAUSTION OR END OF AN ARCH BASED ON THE "NOW".

To recap: I got the breach...means nothing Now I am looking at the 4hr. arch's...they must be in the Demarker sig direction to confirm. I still have NOTHING yet...read on.

Now, I look at the daily arch, by clicking the daily periodicity button up there in MT4's toolbar

repeat

Now..in the above there is price....I trade the price not the indicator ...thus all the coders are measuring the high and the low of price from the arch that I suggested could be a MFE/MAE observation. I got fib levels as a bonus.

Now, if the price is far, far away from the arch... (blue line) that may indicate that the arch may need some time to catch the price..or that the price may not move much (or even retrace against the desired eventual direction) until some time has passed. SO IN THE EVALUATION OF THE DAILY ARCH, I LOOK AT PRICE TOO....

So where are we?...we are getting "real close" now.

Let's say you get a daily arch that suggests that there is room to go in its formation AS YOU ARE SEEING IT AT THE MOMENT YOU ARE GLANCING AT IT. Do not get bogged down in missing sig's, there is always something happening....so you have an agreement with the Demarker...the 4hr arch...and the Daily arch... You can now enter or fine tune with some of your current indicators.

So you are now "IN THE TRADE" You now get the 21P ATR in the 4hr. chart to use for your TP (target) or you can use one of the inner band borders, whichever is greater. Some of you like tighter TP's on negative interest differential's ...to each his own...

now how in the world do I condense this for a paragraph in the intro?

I was in hopes of shortening the intro...

I think many people are lost and do not want to get MT4 or even trade Forex with all of the stories out there and lack of regulation..

It may be just us cronies and those patient enough to wade through the intro to consider, if this fits them...

I envision E-sig user using this for equities and futures...I imagine some form of this is already used in options by advanced traders. but this is unpublished territory as far as I can find.

many thousands will google here in the future...again this thread is so important...

might be worthwhile to note this method would work the same trading GLOBEX and NYMEX currency futures (or others). the min lot values are larger but at least they are regulated.

edit: oh i see you did :D

tackling the presentation of this in a 'plain speak' way to new traders...and holding the interest of advanced traders at the same time, in presenting a complete, TRADABLE method of regression, polynomials and fib deviations with a market based money managment using a unique ranking of set ups...is challenging indeed...

Some componets of this method or the combination of techniques are seemingly new ground and I will do my best to be available...and receivable to new ideas, while keeping the focus...I look forward to reading about arch traders in the future and the sharing of THEIR work is most appreciated, anticipated and encouraging...

I will most likley die and be forgotten, but at least I got this moment of time and your thoughts...Thank You.

Many thousands will google here in the future...again this thread is so important...

Again, please do not insult me with PM's of offers...I am not for hire AT ANY PRICE. By the way your attempts have been noted and as a moderator I have a responsibility to remind you (you know who you are) that ET is not your recruiting ground. I am insulted and not even flattered that you would fly in my face of responsibilty.
