One that woudl display the current value, and then have alerts for the + - 8 would be awesome. it woudl be great to have it display both the sixty min and daily time frames as well. i often fade those time frames on the various currencies.

Tams,

please can you post teh code here.

 

Thank you.

 

 

no, I don't have the code... so I have nothing to post.

you need to do a bit more homework.

 

 

You asked if the code can be coverted to a system...

the answer is yes.

 

You asked if the system can be coded in ELD...

the answer is yes.

 

 

please see my post #109.

 

you need to do a bit more homework.

what you have posted in #107 is nice...

but does not say much about what, where, when and why.

I can help you with the "how".

Are there any special settings to get these to work (the ones available for free from the tradethemarket.com site)?

 

I have installed the ELD and also the workspaces per instructions.

 

TTM DDF Automatic works perfectly. However, The TTM DDF Value Chart never appears (although you can see it is inserted into the chart window). I have attached a chart.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

can you please tell me the name of the indicator on the price in this picture creating support resistance?

 

thanks

regards

I have been using this indicator for several weeks, but still can't make a good exit strategy for it. As we all know, open the trade when +-8 on value chart, but how did you close the position ? Any suggestion ? By the way , i have read the book "Dynamic trading indicators" The author just use 25 and 75 MA cross to close the position, but i think it's too rough.

Hi

 

Thanks for posting this code its a really handy indicator, I was wondering if someone could help me mod the code please, i would like the bars that's are above or below 8 to change colour to red or green.

 

If the bar is -8 or lower i would like it green and if its +8 or higher i would like it red

 

I would appreciate any help

I guess this is the line of code that draws the bar so i would need to bod or write some code to change the colour of this it can stay gray until + or -8

 

DrawLine("Tag1" + CurrentBar, true, 0, ValueHi(), 0, ValueLo(), Color.Gray, DashStyle.Solid,4);

 

Thanks in advance

If this is the same ELD file that I have (bound to be - the programmer eKam mentioned in the thread rings a bell), then to view the calculations the indicator performs, take the following steps:

 

- Open the EL Development environment from the TS 'View' dropdown menu.

 

- Select 'open'.

 

- In the drop down, select 'Functions'

 

- Find the relevant 'VChart' function file and open it.

 

And now you're looking at the Value Chart calculation. The link to the Stendahl article is a useful intro, however there are almost certainly better ways of using it than those he suggests (ironic, seeing as he's the creator!).

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan." Author: Louise Bedford Source: https://www.tradinggame.com.au/
    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
