    Hello,

     

    I was looking at the description of different currency pairs and I was wondering about the daily swap that is either added or subtracted from your account.

     

    Can anyone give me an example of how much you will receive/lose to roll over his trade if he/she opens a long position in GBP/JPY for example, using the brokerage he does with 1 lot (100k).

     

    Thanks!

    Hello,

     

    I am recently learning about point and figure charts and I am eager to get more information. Still there is not so much info on the Internet and I though I could get some books. I would really appreciate if anyone who read some recommends me any or helps me which ones to get,

     

    Thanks!

    Hello,

     

    I am interested in learning market profile but I am not sure where to get started as I don't know almost anything about it and I really need something that explains the basics. It would be greatly appreciated if you guys could recommend me any good book that will be suitable for beginners or any online resources!

     

    Thank you so much for your help!

    I am not sure if the problem is with me, but I doubt it, because I have no problem searching all the forums I am a member of, but when I type a word to search I get a weird error message - I am also using FF3, I tried searching while logged in, while logged out, while on the main page while browsing the forum but it keeps coming out ...

    I managed to get it all working with sierra chart, I just needed to see how an indicator acts on kospi data, but when kospi is traded it is 3am here and I sometimes fall asleep, but it is all working now, thanks for your replies guys :)

    Actually they definitely all display historical data bar by bar...otherwise what should they show on the screen other than the past. ;) Maybe you could formulate your question a bit more specific.

    As far as I know eSignal has a built in feature where you can replay a days action. Otherwise you can simply "scroll" foreward bar by bar from the past to the present in every charting package. What you can also do is the classic way: Print out a chart history, cover the bars with a piece of thick paper and slide the paper to the right, foreward in time, revealing bar after bar.

    Hope this helps a bit and have a good start.

     

    Thanks for your reply but what I need actually is to be able to monitor an indicator's behavior so I need to provide it with the historical data "replay" bar by bar, I think I found one - ensign software has that feature and I contacted their support but so far no reply. THanks!

    Initial margin is the amount you need to open a position.

    Maintenance margin is the amount you need to keep your position open.

     

    If Initial Margin is $1000 and Maintenance is $700, this mean you need to have $1000 in your account to open a position and if you are starting to lose on your position, you will get a margin call when your account dips below $700.

     

    With regard to software... There are 1000's. Do a search on google and you will find plenty to look into. Many brokers also have their own application you can use. This varies from fairly advanced to very basic.

     

    Thanks for you reply, so I got it right about the margin, but about the charting software I am really stuck because I see there are 1000s on google but none I think offers what I need which is to be able to display historical data bar by bar or candlestick by candlestick. Thanks!

    Hello,

    I wanted to ask 2 questions ... I know they might seem noob but they are :) I am confused by a brokerage margin requirements - I see Inital and Maintainance margin required... I am not sure about them.. is the initial just a minimum amount of money that I need to have in my balance to open a position and the maitainance the amount that is subtracted from my account as margin...? And the other thing I wanted to ask is can you name a software that can be fed with data and displayed bar by bar so I can monitor how an indicator behaves, that can also support custom indicators?

    Thank you!

    I personally don't like waves - neither elliott nor these but here is some manuals I found that might be of help if anyone is interested :)

     

     

    .. By the way searching these wolfe waves I found forex-tsd forum's thread about them and the guy who started it, and also who posted most about it edited and deleted all his posts :) maybe he found his own grail in them :) :P

    What I love to do with the Adaptive Moving Average is to confirm the signals it generates on a smaller time frame, but it doesn't work the same way for all markets .. not at all. For instance for Kospi I use a 15 min time frame to generate the signal and confirm it on the 5 min. For Gold for instance I use 1h time frame and confirm down to 15 min time frame ( 15 and 30 ). For GBP/USD I use 30 min and 15 min to confirm... I have derived some simple rules like (don't go against the smaller time frame etc ... ) and it seems to work for me, though I don't use it alone but always with combination of other indicators... Here is a screen shot of a 700 pip move on kospi that I got thanks to this MA... 700 pips with one lot (that's the min my broker allows are 3,5k in one day) not bad at all, I am still on backtesting.

    Hi Guys

    I think this may be what you want, it is Alan Hulls ROAR indicator from his book "Active investing"

     

    'Rate of Return' lndicator

    Variablec: ord(o),LD(o),Roar(0),cutoff(o),Enter(0c)o, unter(52),P eriod(26);

    For Counter = 52 downto 13 Begin

    ' "^ --;

    I"""rRegValue(clos.,io.r.rt.r,0) > linearRegValue(close,Period,t0h)e n Period

    = Counter;

    End;

    Cord = linearRegValue(close,Period,0);

    iO = Co.a - Q.618 * Cord * AvgTiueRange(52)/Average(close,5)2 ;)

    If LD < LD[l] then LD = LD[l];

    If Cord < LD then LD = Cord;

    ii i-."rn"gV"fue(close,26,0)>O then Roar = IntPortion (5200 * linearRegslope(close,26)/

    LinearRegValue(c1ose,26)e,0ls)e R oar = 0;

    iin";t t= 30 and IntPortion (LinearRegValue(roar,5,0)>)= 30 then Roar = IntPortion

    (LinearRegValue(roar,5), )0;

    Cutoff = 20;

    Enter = 30;

    if Roar < Cutoff then Roar = 0;

    if Roar < Enter and Roar[l] = 0 then Roar = 0;

    if Roarll] = 0 and summation(volume * MedianPrice'l3) < 120000 then Roar = 0 ;

    iin.-ifj > 0 and summationivolume * MedianPrice,l3) < 100000 then Roar = 0 ;

    if Cord = LD then Roar=O;

    plotl (Roar,"Roar", darkgray,b lack' I );

    plot2 (Cutoff, "Cutoff' , black , black , I );

     

    This is supposed to work on Tradestation, Which I don't have.

     

    I do have a bull charts version but have not messed with it much

     

    if you want to know more just google Alan Hull or alan hull.com.au

     

    Thanks for the code, I am on the task to code it for Metatrader4 but this part ...

    Cord = linearRegValue

     

    This uses another indicator? Linear Regression? Anyone has any suggestions what is the code of that indicator?

     

    Thank you!

    Ah yes......reckon the indi is expired.

     

    i tried for a while but does not update now.

    just for info.

     

    if it works for u thats great.

     

    wishing u lots of pips

     

     

    both of them now working? I am surprised because they both work for me, I messaged the person who posted the indicators there and hope he replies, though I checked he was last active on 5.5.08 ... but still something might come out... if not I will hire a programmer - I know a good one, to program it. Did you try changing the account number? I mean signing up for a demo in MT4 again ... thanks!

    Exactly. Long only = bull market.

     

    Therefore, if not in bull market but if this provides long signals, will have hard time making money.

     

    So once a bull market is identified, then I would consider use of something like this.

     

    I think it might be a useful tool if anyone can code it. There are so many markets, there will be at least one bullish to trade it :) As long as it can work I don't see a problem ... :) thanks!

    I think it could work very well in a bull market.

     

    I'd love to see how it reacts in a bear / sideways market.

     

    I am pretty sure it is used only for long signals due to its specifics - if you look at the chart it is "activated" when a certain value is reached - otherwise it is just standing by. Does the code makes sense to anyone who is up to date with programming? I would really love to see how it performs,

     

    Thanks!:)
