i wrote an ea short time ago. i use iHigh and iLow for different timeframes to get the entrys filtered by moving averages on higher timeframe. this method is standard trading lesson. my problem was / is to set pending orders. i try to set a buy order some pips higher as iHigh and a sell some pips smaller as iHigh or vice versa for iLow. i thinked about to set the pending orders with atr filter. most of the time if trend on higher tf goes up price will bounce back from resitence line for some pips and will try again (most of the time successfully broken the resistence with big jumps.) my idea was to set the take profit for the sell order on resistence lower as the tp for buy. and sl must be the entry for buy (atr).

Jeff Wilde also sends out a set of lines weekly. He also sometimes shows how they worked in the previous week. It is a free service.

I have copied them here:

Thanks Freddy. This Support Resistance Lines w alert indicator quite similar to ChinBreakoutAlert Lines shared elsewhere on Indo. However the chin can in addition to horizontal breakout lines, be moved to create diagonal trend lines with alert. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone also needs this capability...

 

 

Ok, thanks Soundfx, that makes sense!

 

also on a side note, I just received an email

 

 

 

 

Apart the interest of learning about MQL4 coding, I post it here, because the useful indicator he is talking about might be used in strategies like the one discussed here.

 

For lasy people who don't want to "type" the code, here it is:

All clear to me Monsieur IE!

No need to report it to the mods!

Hi sillykiddo,

 

The monthly numbers will remain the same all through January.

 

The weekly 0 numbers require no calculation they're just the open prices of the current week.

 

I've used Alpari UK for my calculations, most pairs are within a few pips however, there appears to be something missing from the calculation for EUR pairs in particular which is strange.

 

Here's the spreadsheet I used to calculate the levels:

 

http://www.multiupload.com/YKEAAS7SAY

 

The first levels are the published ones, and the next chunk are my calculated ones. I've followed these with the difference in pips between them. As you can see, both EURUSD and EURJPY end up with differences of more than 30 pips at level 4, whereas all the others are just a couple of pips.

 

Multiplying the EUR pairs by the constant 0.298 rather than 0.274 brings down the pips difference for these pairs to an acceptable level, so this would need to be changed in the indicator calculations.

 

For us to be 100% sure we can rely on these simple constant multipliers, we'd need to see examples of the levels going into February too.

great work soundfx

i'm working on indicator i'll start with weekly first once its done monthly should be easy ..

EURO is where pip difference is big

have you checked the latest number ?

 

is this excel of yours is latest number or the number from previous week?

 

thanks

If you browse your charts down to one hour, here are the numbers found on FXPro broker.

So for Weekly, they use the close of midnight H1.

(That I understand)

 

 

 

for monthly, they used the open of the 2PM H1.

 

Why 2PM? I cannot figure, but it was the last day of December!?

Hi sillykiddo,

 

I've checked my calculations in more detail and I think we're close but still missing a piece of the jigsaw. My spreadsheet contains the numbers for this week.

 

We can change constants no problem, however I think that at some point we're going to come unstuck because it appears that what we're using as constants are slow moving variables - which I can't quite get a handle on at the moment.

 

The constant 1.618 I believe is cast in stone for the level 3 and level -3.

 

Looking at the other numbers, I've been able to get the calculation for all pairs to within 1 pip by using the following constants:

 

EURUSD 0.296

GBPUSD 0.275

EURJPY 0.302

USDJPY 0.278

USDCHF 0.278

USDCAD 0.278

AUDUSD 0.276

GBPJPY 0.280

 

Initially I suspected that these values may be derived from the High-Low difference. Here are the High/Low differences in pips:

 

EURUSD 380.3

GBPUSD 225.3

EURJPY 291.2

USDJPY 127.1

USDCHF 166.7

USDCAD 193.2

AUDUSD 244.6

GBPJPY 182.5

 

Both of the EUR pairs have the largest differences which ties in with using a larger constant, however note that the 3rd largest is AUDUSD which requires a much smaller constant. Hence, these numbers must be calculated from elsewhere, which I'll need to think about.

juicyt - my spreadsheet contains the corrected levels issued with that message.

 

sillykiddo,

 

Because of the wildly differing values for EUR pairs using the basic constant of 0.274 (which seemed to work fine for the previous week) and the fact that by tweaking this constant slightly for each pair we can get very accurate lines, I think there's something we're missing but I'm still not sure what this is.

 

ATR is time consuming to check. What period do we use for the ATR for example ? i.e. how many weeks/months do we need to go back to get an average, and then does that average make any sense in deriving the lines ?

 

From lowest to highest, the multipliers of "High-Low" which give the closest results are:

 

GBPUSD 0.275

AUDUSD 0.276

USDJPY 0.278

USDCHF 0.278

USDCAD 0.278

GBPJPY 0.280

EURUSD 0.296

EURJPY 0.302

 

However, there's no longer any direct correlation with the High-Low any more when the High-Low of each pair is put into ascending sequence. The puzzle is that we need to find something in the OHLC of weekly data (perhaps going back more than 1 bar as for ATR) which will give a sequence similar to the one above. I'm not sure now that this is going to be as easy as it originally seemed.

I must be honest, because the person posts these openly, I didn't think these would be very easy to nut out. Infact, well out of my reach. I guess if others are reading and something dawns on them to try, then hopefully they do. Or maybe if we can get a base indicator made, then making some slight alterations until it is correct can be made easily. For the work involved, I hope is true.

 

I wish I had someone else to ask for help, but in saying that, there are some very smart people on this forum (yes that also includes you soundfx) so I think given a little time, it will get worked out.

 

Juicyt

 

I guess if most or even some pairs are consistantly correct, we could start with those and begin to use them. So we miss out on some pairs to trade, no big deal. It has to be consistant though.
