Snake Force

Recommended Posts

I have found an indicator Snake force for MT4. Will the people experienced in coding consider coding it for Tradestation. Thanks.

 

Here is the cross reference.

I don't think you will get anybody to respond when you only post a link to .....

 

a) another site which they would then have to register for just to see what it looks like.

 

b) the indicators and template for MT4, which if someone is willing to convert over, they would have to have MT4 installed just to see the code.

 

Your best bet would be to post some screenshots of the indicator and also copy the code into a text file, so if someone fancies having a go, then at least they don't have to spend ages doing the homework which should have already been done for them.

 

Cheers

I can help people to go from step 1 to step 2,

 

but I would not "assist" anyone to jump from step zero to step 3.

 

I will give a pass to anything short of a fully illustrated description.

 

 

good luck

 

;-)

I am attaching some screenshots and will try to post the code later. Thanks to Blu Ray and Tams. I really appreciate it.
You should put your code in the code box so it doesn't run on (use the green spinning gear icon in the message reply box).

 

This indicator repaints and is also known as the 'self deception' indicator:

Posts: 1 Snake & Snake Force: An Exercise In Self-Deception

On the internet, I found a blog written in Russian about Snake and Snake Force. Of course I couldn't read it, but it was entitled something like "Self-Deception Indicators". After studying both, I can't think of a better sound-byte description for the both... so don't get mesmerized by the Snake.

 

Both of these indicators "repaint", what this means is that both can "change their mind" on signals after you have taken action based on the signal. This "repainting" it the reason the signals look soooo good on historic actions.

 

If you really like Snake, I suggest you use a "Linear Weighted Moving Average" in "Typical Mode" instead because this is what Snake is based on.

 

Snake was a total waste of time. Don't go there.

I am aware that it repaints, but I am perfectly okay with that and I am also aware that this one does not repaint ecept the current bar, which most indicators do anyway. I am looking to use it in Tradestation, since I only have the MT4 version I posted here.

I too, enjoy using snake force, your not alone, and for good reason!!!

snake force can be deceptive, because people don't take the time to learn it, or how to tame it...I blows away any OsMa indicator or MacD, and often can lead price, I prefer that over any lagging indicator...but as I said you need to study this indicator, most traders I know are lazy, I have studied this indicators for hundreds of hrs, so I decided to create s system around it, and learn to tame it with a waddah indicator, it's not a perfect system, but blows away stuff I have seen for thousands of dollars, for pure junk!!!

Ziggy123,

 

Would you be able to share your system for Snake force and I can tell you about mine? I use snake force, Waddah Attar to show volume. Infact I started a forum on Waddah Attar and also get my signal from the path of the snake on the price pattern. I can email you directly if you prefer or discuss on the phone.

Hello guys,

I read this thread a couple of days ago and it seems very interesting as I use the force indicator myself. Everybody believes it's of no use becase of the repainting properties but it's not quite so.

 

Also...for sunilrohira...you have a PM ...

I would appreciate it if you could explain your system here ziggy.

 

 

Thanks a lot ,

emiliand
