Scalper Buys/Sell Replica

Recommended Posts

Please just select all, copy the text in the code box and paste into any text editor and save the text file as something like 'scalper.efs'.

 

You can also do this (copy and paste) into the Esignal tools, EFS, editor. Please study the video here if you are not familiar with Esignal : http://www.esignalcentral.com/university/esignal/tutorial/javascript/master-2.html

 

Perhaps someone here or on the Esignal support forum more familiar with EFS can answer more detailed question on this subject.

hi traderlu.

 

Thats a nice one. Thanks for your goodwork and hardwork. How can I incorporate this on mt4 platform.

 

Cheers

 

Here are the indicators for meta trader 4 one has some bugs fixed I think, though not sure what they are, another thing is I wanted to ask if this is the proper way the indicators should work - the white bar is actually colored white after 3 more bars close? Is this normal, or part of the strategy? Please see the attached video (sorry for the trial watermark, I haven't purchased the software)

 

Thank you!

 

 

EDIT: Sorry but it seems I cannot attach .ex4 files unfortunately so I will just post the link to the forex-tsd thread where you can download them, thanks!

.Some .ex4 files are pre-compiled files that many folks don't like because they don't know what's in them (viruses, trojans, keyloggers). Is there a open source mt4 file that you could post or point us to?

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!

gd to hear. i've stopped using it but have it on another platform.

U know TTM has a trading strategy he uses with the scalper ?

 

Its 3 bars late and stop just above the scalper signal.

But for Fx I reckon u need to fine tune using it.

maybe as a pivot point .

 

all the best

 

I thot it worked relatively ok with i-paramount where u have the time zones established. The H n L for the timezone is determined and scalpersignal close or at H or L cud work out.

 

Just an observation.

Traderlu - thanks for your help on this indicator. I could use some your help on how should the code be written if I wanted to use it in a Radar screen on Tradestation? i changed the colors so the bars a blue for a short and white for a long...I am assuming this is the same code you have posted..

Thanks for your help!

 

The code is:

 

{Scalper Buys and Sells 7/18/2007

Written by Luis Gomez

inspired by John Carters "Mastering the Trade"

}

 

inputs:

buyColor(white),

sellColor(blue),

width(3);

variables:

highBarsAgo(1),

possibleHighBarsAgo(1),

possibleHigh(-2),

hightoBeat(-1),

barsSincePaint(1),

lowBarsAgo(1),

possibleLowBarsAgo(1),

possibleLow(10000001),

lowtoBeat(10000000),

triggerPriceSell(-1),

triggerPriceBuy(1000000),

trend(1),

_UP(1),

_DOWN(-1),

_ON(1),

_OFF(-1);

 

 

//***************************************************

//****** Find and plot the highest swing high *******

//***************************************************

 

if trend = _UP then begin

if swingHighBar(1,H,2,barsSincePaint+2) > -1 then begin

possibleHighBarsAgo = swingHighBar(1,H,2,barsSincePaint+2);

possibleHigh = H[possibleHighBarsAgo];

end;

 

if possibleHigh >= hightoBeat then begin

highBarsAgo = possibleHighBarsAgo;

hightoBeat = possibleHigh;

triggerPriceSell = L[HighBarsAgo - 1];

end;

 

if C < triggerPriceSell and

highest(high,highBarsAgo) < hightoBeat then begin

plotpb[highBarsAgo](H[highBarsAgo],L[highBarsAgo],"",sellColor);

alert("Scalper Sell");

trend = _DOWN;

barsSincePaint = highBarsAgo-1;

hightoBeat = -1;

lowtoBeat = 10000000;

triggerPriceBuy = 10000000;

triggerPriceSell = -1;

highBarsAgo = 1;

possibleHigh = -2;

end;

 

end;

 

//***************************************************

//****** Find and plot the lowest swing low *********

//***************************************************

 

if trend = _DOWN then begin

if swingLowBar(1,L,2,barsSincePaint+2) > -1 then begin

possibleLowBarsAgo = swingLowBar(1,L,2,barsSincePaint+2);

possibleLow = L[possibleLowBarsAgo];

end;

 

if possibleLow <= lowtoBeat then begin

lowBarsAgo = possibleLowBarsAgo;

lowtoBeat = possibleLow;

triggerPriceBuy = H[LowBarsAgo - 1];

end;

 

if C > triggerPriceBuy and

lowest(L,lowBarsAgo) > lowtoBeat then begin

plotpb[lowBarsAgo](H[lowBarsAgo],L[lowBarsAgo],"",buyColor);

alert("Scalper Buy");

trend = _UP;

barsSincePaint = lowBarsAgo-1;

possibleLow = 10000001;

lowtoBeat = 10000000;

hightoBeat = -1;

triggerPriceBuy = 10000000;

triggerPriceSell = -1;

lowBarsAgo = 1;

end;

 

end;

 

barsSincePaint = barsSincePaint+1;

if trend = _UP then highBarsAgo = highBarsAgo + 1;

if trend = _DOWN then lowBarsAgo = lowBarsAgo + 1;

setPlotWidth(1,width);

Anyone know if it would be possible to modify the code to put the dot on the bar it actually signaled rather than the swing high/low?

 

I find my entries and the dots firing off often coincide to the exact bar, but sometimes I think they are sooner and vise versa. But its impossible to backtest the idea because you can't tell for sure when the actual signal would've taken place using the current code.

 

I've tried to modify it to no avail. Anyone able to help?

Strategy code modified by XYGeek

 

White dot showme indicate location of Scalper painted usually 3-4 bars back. Yellow indicate actual bar where the end of bar signal came in. Strategy indicate where entries were made, next bar market. This may be profitable in a trend but not chop.

Wow, just loaded this on my s&p emini charts in multiple time frames and the accuracy is amazing, maybe even unparallelled! With my existing indicators I feel this is the missing link. Can't thank you enough, will report back on the progress! Blessings to you!!!

Don't get too excited just yet. Read through the thread what others have already pointed out and watch it live to see it only plots the highlighted bars several bars after they have formed. On static behind the fact charts, it looks amazing. Not so much on live charts.

TTM_SCALPER.ELD (5.8 KB, 1993 views)

Can anybody help me to get this indicator to work on a meta trader 4 platform.

Thankin you in advanced.

 

 

ELD file format is for TradeStation and MultiCharts.

It will not run in MT4.

 

Do a Google search, I remember someone has done a conversion for MT4.

(It might even be here in TradersLaboratory?)

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
