I wrote a simple trading simulator that uses the keyboard. You press 8 on the numpad to buy, 2 to sell, and 5 to close. You can also pre-set tp/sl levels if you want. Its really easy to use and you can obviously attach whatever indicator you want on ...

Renko charts in the trading simulator

Hey hanover, Have you ever seen the OverlayCharts indicator from forex-tsd's elite section? It allows you to display prices for multiple currencies on the same chart. How would you compare this with your recent strength indicator? Do you think it ...

Recent Strength indicator

I actually am interested only in ohcl data because my EA is designed to operate only once at each bar open. I am still going to use dukascopy data instead of the metaquotes data because the metaquotes data is so distorted that even thats wrong.

Dukas tick data integrity?

I only use data starting from mid 2007. I also found the data before 2007 to be somewhat fishy... In regards to using fxopen's data.... 1) they don't have any for download (at least not through mt4) 2) even if they did have data for download, it ...

Dukas tick data integrity?

Some years (the more recent ones) DO have more ticks in them. Dukascopy data is very good. Not perfect, but very good. Some currencies are better than others. I have found the majors to be pretty much perfect except for a couple gaps. Do you intend ...

Dukas tick data integrity?

Are you saying that "they can move independently but it will create an arbitrage opportunity that will normalize the price immediately" or are you saying "they cannot move independently?" That is the essence of my question.

Can EURGBP move independently of GBPUSD and EURUSD?

CodeMeister, I realize the things I mentioned in the last post are indicators but I am mainly interested specifically in price action. That is why I initially wanted a way to profile candles. I want to eventually add things like channels and ...

Binary profiling of candlesticks

I implemented TJPLD's idea. Additionally I included another variable called "percent error" which accompanies each "close percent" variable. I am working on pip_seeker's ideas. What other variables would be interesting to profile price action? ideas ...

Binary profiling of candlesticks

These responses are excellent. I will implement both of your ideas; I'll define the candle itself by percentage of body and use binary variables for filters like what pip_seeker described.

Binary profiling of candlesticks

I'm sorry, what I meant was is it possible for Volume[0] to be == 1 two ticks in a row? I know that it shouldn't occur, but could the lag/dropped packet issue cause this?

Trade context management associated bugs

Alright, thanks for the explanation. I will use the method you described and hopefully it will resolve my duplicate-order issue. Do you think it is possible for Volume[0] to be < 1 for two consecutive start() function calls due to dropped packets? ...

Trade context management associated bugs

I thought about this and I realized that perhaps checking volume IS what I need to do despite the issue you mentioned. This is because I open AND close at the start of a bar. If I miss the first tick, I would rather close my order on the second tick ...

Trade context management associated bugs

Ah! Thank you so much for this information. I am very appreciative that you guys took the time to look through the code - I honestly did not expect any replies. kennyhubbard - so the indicator you made checks to see if volume = 1 truly corresponds ...

Trade context management associated bugs

Yeah thats what I meant to write (Volume[0]<1). I was wondering if this is a bug that could be solved with the library LibOrderReliable.

Trade context management associated bugs

Thanks for the code, I appreciate it. I know that code will indeed fix the problem but I feel like the code I already have should be sufficient to control orders per bar as long as there aren't any bugs. I have the following at the top of my start ...

Trade context management associated bugs

So the three currencies are algebraically linked, correct? EURGBP = EURUSD/GBPUSD ? If so, then what exactly does triangle arbitrage try to exploit?

Can EURGBP move independently of GBPUSD and EURUSD?

Automatic Gann Indicator — I made an automatic Gann (line/grid/fan) indicator. It finds the most recent fractals (A) and then finds the most recent fractals higher (or lower) than A. You can switch it from grid to fan to line by typing in the ...
