Quote from silvermotion:
you really are pretentious, i have several setups automated like this, the one you saw runs on a 610v chart, i have different setups on 5 minute charts and 3 minute charts, and they use other indicators. some even use price action believe it or not!!!. Why do you attack my programming skills and assume i know nothing? to boost your tiny ego? all this because i don't do exactly what you do and you assume is the only thing that works?
and for your personal education, its not harder to use price or a indicator when programming, a number is a number.
heres a 5 minute autotrader using a different setup.

And good morning to you as well!!!!
Someone using an indicator and actually proving its worth is two different animals. Sorry if you were unable to keep up with that simple concept. I note you continue to evade my previous questions with your tap dancing. Iâll take that as âyou canât.â
Strange you first claim you need to use the sto as an input value because you âneedâ a number for programming, and now you backpedal that you can indeed program using price because a number is a number. No need to âeducateâ me further, I have a rather good grasp of your so-called skills.
Pretentious? Nah, Just trying to elevate you to a higher level of learning. My bad, I didnât realize just how fragile your huge ego was. Fortunately, your feelings were saved somewhat by ET regulars giving you a nod of approval. Probably saved you a trip to the shrink.

You and your kind are doing a great disservice to those new to trading. A canned indicator should stand on its own merit, not be passed off as being valuable because joe blow on the floor uses one, someone wrote a book on them, or heaven forbid, they were used for automated trading. To reiterate, as far as I know, there is no automated system using canned indicators that has successfully stood the test of time. If you have evidence to the contrary, I am all ears. Until then, whether you or the Pope uses them is of no consequence. Thus my initial response.
Here is where you do more name calling and then enlighten me how you are raking in the millions using your canned indicator followed by the ET standard of "just because you don't know how to use an indicator doesn't mean they donât workâ rhetoric.
A ball player steps up to the plate. What will determine his taking a swing at the ball; watching for the pitch, keeping an eye on the ball and only the ball, or waiting for the thud of the ball hitting the catcherâs mitt and then waiting for the umpires call? Think about it.
