Greetings fifo and es
A minor change to cr_v1c may be needed.
I analysed the segment of the code originally written by [ang]. The first time the indicator is placed on a chart it drops an 'anchor' 298 bars back from the current bar. Each subsequent calculation references that anchor point. ie as each new bar arrives the period effectively increases by 1 (299,300,301...). I guess [ang] put this behaviour in by design. If we want the period fixed relative to the current bar then it requires a simple change to the code. Please advise.

ES, not too sure what you mean by start date. The indicator should start x periods from the last bar always. i.e last bar - 299 bars. It should be dropping the first bar and adding the new bar for all calculations. If its not doing that than it is flawed and maybe something in the code is missing??

I use FXCM, would those indicators work in their standard applicaiton?

By the way, I did take your first test trade with real money, but got stopped out since I set my stop too closee to the previous low and did not take into account the spread was large. Again, I will always use stops so not sure if this method is for me but may play around a little more.

Anyway, my 2 other real money forex trades that I use for my own system with stops and profit targets worked fine, so I am still up this week.
 
I will weigh in with a yes...please change it...waiting for fifo's opinion...

If not is there a way to specify or change the start date (anchor point) without going into the code, in a more user friendly way?

rjb & fifo, mm and others..have I mentioned how awesome you are?

by the way... you guys are awesome..

oraclewizard,

I have trouble with stops IN THIS METHOD...I prefer hedging for now, unless something better comes along, because the daily's, can last so long and I get in the arches early. Hedging helps with timing, where stops finalize.

I am sorry to hear about the loss...but it sounds to me like you are experienced enough to handle it...stay tuned.

Also, if you come up with ideas for stops, that are market based please share...I am waiting to get smacked with a good idea..

Michael B.

Absolutely, go ahead rjb. I knew there was something off but just guessed it was an MT4 thing where old values wouldn't repaint. I've been deleting the indicator and redrawing it simply because I've had no time to investigate it. Sorry should have caught this sooner, just had to prioritize WL over MT4 for now....

thx

COMMENTARY: Welcome to "Golden Arches". This is a test. Please stay tuned for the new thread 02/13/07.

I wanted to increase the EUR/GBP as the retrace needed is so slight for the small target on this...The London session should give the necessary volatility for the "weekend exits" to reach the target and get flat in this pair. However, please pay attention to the confidence level reported above...I take that seriously with much thought and attempt at consistency.
