Yes, we are on the same page. Apparently he uses Tradestation, which I am not familiar with.... but If it is anything like MT4, there are multiple timeframe tables in the database for each pair. And if one timeframe has 8 years of data, while ...

Hello Alex Your method is interesting for several reasons. It is for EURUSD, the only pair I trade now. It also looks for unusual volatility in a short period of time, which is another characteristic I used to monitor about 2 years ago. May I submit ...

What is the granularity of your testing data? Is it 1 minute? I'd love to see the logic of your code and compare it to my own.

The first half of this post confirms my own suspicion of joel's equity curves on his site. He is quick to write articles for magazines and post what seems a seemingly indestructable strategy to a website, but is not answering emails with legitimate ...

Let me say this again.... I ran backtest on several years of data. And before you say "backtests aren't reliable" .... I opened the charts and checked their validity with my own eyes. Hey, if you guys say it has been profitable over the past few ...

Well, so far as I'm concerned, forex is a vehicle that has the potential to pay out huge dividends. I am hopeful that there is some under-pinning reason for the trades I place to be predictive more often than not, though I can not see the reason. I ...

TA self fullfilled prophecies... what a joke.

Ahah, would you like another reality check? The "live blog" of trades Joel posted contained First Strike, ONS, and a "mystery system." The FS and ONS trades were breaking even after several weeks of trading, last time I checked. Most large ...

People like Joel's methods because they are simple. This does not make them profitable. The minute I saw those pretty graphs (about 10 months ago) I wrote EAs for both systems. The results were plain crappy using M1 data. I suspect Joel does not ...

First, its debatable whether moving averages have any value. Second, every year is different for each pair, so the "best moving average" will be different from year to year. Third, each timeframe suffers from the same randomness as stated in the ...

Why moving averages are important?

Why would I be jealous of some stranger on the Internet? I've got plenty of things in my life keeping me busy than to be sitting around fantasizing about being Phillip Nell. I simply made an observation, and think he acted childish that somebody ...

I made a mistake. It is buy on the Ask, and close the buy on the Bid. Reverse for sells. Sorry.

Slingshot-30 Min. PA System

Man that is some complicated code. Nice of you to share. Advice: Always buy on the Bid and sell on the Ask... these are MT4 constants. That will properly handle spreads. The way you have it now (even though well thought out) is not correct.

Slingshot-30 Min. PA System

Hmmm... I had not seen twee's post.... I publicly apologize to Phillip. The man got so upset that one person didn't like his system, that he left in a huff. Even after all the praise people left him. Well, I suppose everyone likes to feel "right" ...

Ybeidis no harm, no foul. I appreciate your professional approach to the disagreement.

In no way did I infer that people weren't making money with the 4 hour strategy. However, it is a charting strategy.... attempting to find retracements and call tops and bottoms. Is there anything wrong with that? No. It is still speculating, ...

I'm sorry, Mr.Krai.... I didn't know I wasn't allowed to go to ebay.... nor that I was not allowed to voice my opinion about the hoax and trickery found there. Ah, Mr.Krai.... talking about me as if you know me. Stick and stones, Mr.Krai.... sticks ...

Just say my name.... don't be coy. "tdion bad comment more than contribute." Let me ask you a question, vincentlim. Where are all of YOUR contributions? I can post 10 of my threads that are unique money management, EA, and trading systems. Why is ...

The 4 hour system is all based on MACD, right? If you look up the definition of MACD, it is actually the divergence of two moving averages. I have been around a long time. That's why I have my vouches. I've seen countless threads come and go.... ...

Look back X bars, and if the range is greater than Y pips, it is trending. Of course we both live in the real world, right Ron? And that means that this whole idea of figuring out whether it "is" trending or "is" congesting is impossible. You're ...
