Hello jhathawa, Have you read the page on Taylortree?? Basically, I'd manually move the stop on VT. There's no easy way to program it in VT. So let me try to explain more about the stops. There are two stops going, one is the absolute stop of -21 ...

System Recap: 4H OCC + Changes — Rich and I have splintered a little bit, so I'll recap the changes made to the system and what I've done to it. But as far as summary, here goes: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Open/Close ...

Dear Sabastian, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimosa_(cocktail) ;-)

Open/Close Crossover Method

BTW, my trading model, is almost complete. It meets all my preset criterias.. 1) Exact entry point (down to the pip, of when to enter) 2) Exact exit point (when you should exit) 3) Some sort of intelligent trailing stop, that moves up to lock in ...

Open/Close Crossover Method

BTW, my OCC (at least my 4H version, not Rich's version) is like the Parabolic SAR; you are ALWAYS in the market, either short or long.. So on the auto-trade, if you flipped back and forth, you'd get into that problem I mentioned earlier, it'd buy ...

Open/Close Crossover Method

The auto-trading.. where do I begin.. OoyVay.. First, VT and the word "stable" don't go together. Second, it's got "dummy" tracking.. so it works like this: Say I have two variables, "long_in", and "short_in". Each set to 0. When i start the system ...

Open/Close Crossover Method

I can program in the autotrading of that's what you guys want. I'm fairly a fairly compotent programmer; but I will have to say, I have been ansy (sp?) about VT's auto trading system's reliability.. I have used it before, and to great disliking. So ...

Open/Close Crossover Method

Thanks Goldengirl! I'll take a look at it tonight.. I would like to program in the trailing stop, that's very useful.

Open/Close Crossover Method

Hey Goldengirl, I'll dig through the manual, to see if I can find a crossover function, and program that into MT4. I hear MT4's backtesting is not so reliable either; but visual backtesting is probably the way to go. In VT, I have it charted with a ...

Open/Close Crossover Method

Hey Katie, I just got the MT4 Manual, so this weekend, I might be picking up another programming language (MT4) and seeing if I can replicate it in MT4. As far as Timeframe goes: I'm focusing on the 4H exclusively, because that's what fits into my ...

Open/Close Crossover Method

I'm in camp 1 as well. I always balk at the though the retrenching might be the reversal..

Confusion.. Trade trend, or wait for retrend?

Hi jhathawa, Not a dumb question at all.. I took a slightly cropped shot, because FF only allows a 600x600 pixel pic to be attached. What you are seeing is correct. I'm showing the "zoomed in" version, as I wanted to highlight the trailing stop ...

Open/Close Crossover Method

Hi bakRob, You are doing what I thought about.. here's my math for it. If I'm using the 33/34 or 34/35 EMA's. on the 4H chart.. 4Hour chart -> 1 Day. 1 Day = 24 hours / 4 hours = 6x factor. 34 * 6 = 204 55 * 6 = 330 So if I'm looking at the 34EMA's ...

Thanks! Just what I was looking for!

MetaTrader 4 Programming guide?

I'm using 55 as my period now, to test instead of 34 on the 4H charts. EMA_55_Close as the vodka EMA_56_Open as the chaser. On the GBP/USD 4H, backtesting it has produced incredible results. Right now, I'm in the testing phase but it shows real ...

Open/Close Crossover Method

Given the time between now, and when I first conceived this idea, not too much forward testing as I look at the 4H charts. I cannot speak for Rich, as he looks at the 5M,10M, and 15M charts. Rich, go ahead and try out my trailing stop. It works ...
