I have not purchased the book previously, but may take a look. Found it on Amazon for anyone interested.

Do you know if the author will be joining the forum?

Thanks for the link , just bought the book. Was not aware he had written books, must be about ten years ago I came accross a quote by Ray on "The ranking of a trend" and the implications for the trading scope thereof.

That became the backbone of my trading setup although I achieved this in a different way and am only using it for intraday futures trading. I really look forward to see how he applies it all to the EOD trading. The information I got from the preview of the book already indicated to me that his line of thinking is very much in line with my own.

Will the BarrosSwings in TradeStation work in TradeStation 2000i and where can you obtain these?

Many thanks, Sherlock

There's information here: http://www.telemetrics.com.au/barrometrics/

You might be able to find an unlicensed version if you do a search.

Thanks, it certainly looks like it will work in TradeStation 2000i.

I am waiting for the book and will evaluate what he discloses about the logic. If I decide to use it then I'll get the licensed version. ( I have been burned once by some thing that deleted all my Easylanguage stuff and took me 5 weeks to recover from. It was not immediately apparent and it wiped all my backups on hard disks and infected both my computers. Downtime was far more expensive than having to fork out the money in the first place, I will not travel that road again: once was enough)

Regards, Sherlock.

Hi Rob,

We briefly emailed each other about 2 weeks ago...Just wanted to drop a note to say thanks for starting this forum.

I've also attached an image of EURUSD with my version of the swings in eSignal. They're not 'perfect'....but they are damn close...and after studying NOT they serve the purpose that they are designed for.

Sherlock,

I haven't found a no-fee Barros wave indicator ELD but have been using a variation that I like quite a bit. Take a look at this thread:

https://www.tradestation.com/Discuss...Topic_ID=74450

It is a very nice ZigZag indicator with quite a bit of functionality. One of its options is to use an ATR retracement. I have plotted 3 separate instances using 2 ATR / 4 ATR / 8ATR as a replacement for Barros approach of using different day settings. Clearly this doesn't duplicate his Barros swings, but offers a volatility based view of determining the different trend levels in the markets. I am reading NOT and am working on how / if this approach synchs up with Barros.

Hope this is helpful.

Mike,

I am running TradeStation 2000i and use IB as broker and am not with TradeStation securities. As such I cannot see what is written in the thread you are mentioning. Would it be possible for you to post / private message / email me the text of the *.ELD so i can convert? It surely looks promising.

Personally I am using something else but this may throw a different spin on longer timeframes.

Many thanks, Sherlock.

I haven't done this before, so hopefully this will work.

This will need quite some work to get it going under TradeStation 2000i: for startes all the comments made the whole thing too long and then i started to run into some reserved words of later versions of TradeStation, possibly version 8 or so.

Was still worth the experiment and if I have more time I may have another go at it as some time in the future.
