Hi

 


Inputs:
Period(5);

vars:
MidLine(0),UpperBand(0),LowerBand(0);

UpperBand=Average(Highest(High,Period),Period);
LowerBand=Average(Lowest(Low,Period),Period);
MidLine=(UpperBand+LowerBand)/2;

Plot1(MidLine,"MidLine");
if MidLine >= MidLine[1] then setplotcolor(1,Cyan) else setplotcolor(1,red);

Plot2(UpperBand,"UpperBand",LightGray);
Plot3(LowerBand,"LowerBand",DarkGray);

Look and works like junk tried on my Hotforex platform and once again got a proof that there is no better than simple but effective price action.

 

Some end of year thoughts on trading using priceseries *

 

Consciously, ‘PAv’ traders are categorically NOT able to trade with oscillators (/ indicators). (Note that ‘consciously’ part - because unconsciously every single one of them is creating and using ‘indicators’ in the background.)

 

Real oscillators traders can categorically NOT (consciously) trade with PA. (Note that ‘consciously’ part - because unconsciously every single one of them is attempting to process PA on the fly.)

 

Point is - Both modes are always going / functioning.

 

“Find your own way” zdo. Find out which one you are best suited for, make that one dominant and develop it that fully... Let the other one be recessive.

 

If you’re a PA trader, don’t fool yourself into total rejection of oscillators. And by the same token, if you’re an oscillators trader, don’t be swayed by the preaching of PA traders to completely exclude oscillators trading. Find out which one you are best suited for, develop that fully... and then you might be free to consciously include and accommodate certain aspects from the other one.

 

...

 

PA traders do notice and repeatedly announce an important ‘weakness’ of indicators. Stock indicators don’t ‘work’. :rofl:

Yep, statistically out the box at best they produce ( with ‘costs, a slightly negative) wash... ie the ‘sample runs’ where they outperform do not offset the ‘sample runs’ where they underperform, etc. **

...

 

The key word here is “stock”.

 

There are (only?) three ways to overcome this weakness of stock indicators.

1 ‘Skew’ the indicator calculations to match the ‘slope’ (and travel, etc) of the auctions.

2 Learn to ‘wetware skew’ the reading of the indicator to match the ‘slope’ (etc) of the auctions.

3 Type the auctions to know when and when NOT to apply an indicator

 

ie You got to know when and how to "harm squiggly lines" (sorry TRO for appropriating your apt phrase... :) )

 

 

Wishing all ya'll wonderful holidays and a happy solstice in exactly one minute !!!!

 

 

zdo

 

 

 

*instead of non price / fundamental / narrative information

 

**:haha: Unfortunately, PA traders can't go about as readily acknowledging the equivalent real world statistics of 'out the box' PA... ie don't get it that both modes are always going / functioning.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
