Hype is the right word. The system may be good and may work, but calling it an application of Chaos theory is a real stretch. Although BW talks about the fractal nature of the market, he does not use the mathematics of chaos. He calls a particular ...

Profitunity (Chaos) Trading System by Bill Williams

Risk rulles — Here is a suggestion from post 56 (Not by me) : "First, my position sizing and risk management rules tell me exactly my lot limit for a trade; and for me "a trade" begins when I get on board a directional move and includes any ...

Alternate? — Hi JMW, Nice work, and thanks. There may be an alternate way to calculate the interpolation. It should avoid the corruption and extensive calculations that you describe, but I have not found a way to generalize. The method ...

Project Ultra - True "Other Time Frame" Indicators

Usually one does not much care about the small eigenvalues, since PCA is commonly used to throw them away; however, you are absolutely correct, Let_IPCA algorithm does seem better. Unfortunately, I found it after I had finished experimenting with ...

Sorry, my memory failed me, that's why MadCow . I have MatLab code. (I tried to edit to avoid misunderstanding). After testing on my problem, I decided not to go to the trouble of writing a DLL...takes a lot of matrix manipulation. I will post if ...

Wavelet and PCA software — It certainly looks like DDR is some derivative of PCA. (Which is a lot like SSA). You can get free MatLab software to do PCA. Just Google it. Also most neural net packages a la NeuroShell have PCA and wavelet ...

I have not read through this whole thread, so my comment may be immaterial, but I thought it should be said anyway. You guys all know that the 'volume' reported by FX brokers is not really volume right? It is just the number of times that ...

Learn to Trade using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

Thanks for the response. So that means that the volume bars displayed at the bottom of the chart are not volume, but just number of price changes? Can you tell me why I get many ticks that have no price change? Is it perhaps that the bid/ask has ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Tick Volume — I am collecting MBT tick data for use in accurate backtesting, but I'm not sure what the 'tick volume' means. The sum of the tick volume over a bar = the volume of that bar, so I assume that the tick volume is the number of lots ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Your EA is dangerous. You have no conditions for opening a trade, so it will open a new trade with each new tick. I doubt that you will find enough help here until you either define just what you are trying to do, or learn to program in MQ4. Look at ...

The thread seems dead. Does that mean that the system worked, or failed? MC

Correlation trading

A lot of good work, but it will take a while to understand what it means. I have wondered the same thing myself, but is price action really different than DSP, or are we just using it in a different way? What the heck is price action anyway... ...

I am sorry for the delayed response. I have not been monitoring this thread for some time. I don't recall having Igorads nlma in AFL, but here is the afl code for the ULLMA as well as almost every filter known to man. (You must change the ...

This is not a thread to discuss brokers. One exists on FF. However, in my experience a broker that uses MT4 without major modifications to bridge to an ECN is a dealing desk with all the ability to hunt stops, etc, no matter what they claim. MT4 was ...

I certainly wouldn't trade with that crook... No I trade with an ECN as the lesser of three evils.

You were quite clear on that point, so I should not have asked, but there is no way I will work with a dealing desk. I'm surprised that anyone does. They have more ways to cheat than ECN crims. Thanks anyway, I will just use the EA's as is. Or tweak ...

CriminalIsECN — My CriminalIsECN. With an ECN, you cannot modify an order until a position has been established. Hence AI.mq4 will not work for those of us that have an ECN. Nor will hedging, or any EA that uses pending orders, unless it is ...

I'm pretty sure that it returns the RSI calculated using the current price. (It repaints until the candle closes). To get the candle close price you need iRSI(null,15,2,PRICE_CLOSE,1). This will hold until the next candle close.
