I might have a solution . . . simply 'cut and paste' the post.

 

A good idea. Perhaps someone could do so for the purpose of defining the terms used in the rules posting at the beginning of the thread.

hi,

 

I'm using MT4, how to setting Ergodic in MT4?

anyone can conver multichart ProfLogic indicator to MT4 ?

 

thk

 

 

 

The settings for the Ergodic Indicator are:

49, 147, 49

If that FOREX I see? Forex doesn't have volume bars, the foundation of what I do. The other problem with FOREX is that the banks control all of the information coming from the trades. There is no other more grossly manipulated market on the face of the earth.

Tams,

I'e used Proflogic's CVB charts for about 6 months now, but without the ergodic indicator and all the rules - primarily 343 & 2401 charts. I use Trade Navigator which I'm happy with, but as noted without the ergodic indicator. Can it be written up and programmed into my trade platform?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Please contact Trade Navigator, they already have the Ergodic indicator coded.

Let me know the programming language they use and I will do my best to find one for you.

Hi TAM and LOGIC...does anyone have the tradestation .eld file that has the ergodic indicator as previously posted. I have looked into the tradestation website but the ergodic indicator does not look like the histogram one on your posts...

 

thanks in advance....victor

You have to PM Logic, he has the code.

Until you learn you how to use a tool, they will all suck.

 

Absolutely correct.

 

And after you use one for a while and then learn . . . . it still sucks.

Proflogic,

As noted above for tradestation, the ergodic indicator for Trade Navigator (Genensis - Trade Sense) does not display anything like that shown in the posts regarding your E.I. Would it be possible to get the coding as mentioned before?

Thanks,

avalanch

Why not contribute something to the thread? Maybe a chart or an observation, even a question would do. Stimulate conversation and you would not need to bump it. :):) Maybe I am just getting old and intolerant but at the end of the day spam will never be ham and that was just spam.

Logic,

 

I've tried coding my own Ergodic oscillator but whenever I plot the oscillator in MultiCharts, I get different results. It seems my code is unstable. I was wondering if you're willing to share your Ergodic .ELD so that I can figure out what's going wrong with my code.

 

Greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

 

Regards,

Albert

why not post your chart, at least someone can review it and give you a hand.

 

Alright. I've attached three charts, each showing different calculated values for the Ergodic oscillator. I believe the last chart should be the correct one. I'm using a custom weighted moving average (as opposed to EL's WAverage) function for the smoothing. The function applies the concept of convolution in calculating the WMA and approximates WAverage closely (slight rounding errors). This function could be a source of error but I'm not sure. I've posted the code below.

 

Inputs:
Price( NumericSeries ), 
Period( NumericSimple );

Variables:
var0( 0 ),
var1( 0 );

if CurrentBar = 1 then 
begin
for Value1 = 0 to Period - 1
	begin
	var0 = var0 + ( Period - Value1 ) * Price[Value1] ;
	end ;
end
else
var0 = var0[1] + Period * Price[0] - SummationFC(Price, Period) ;

var1 = ( Period + 1 ) * Period * .5 ;
WMA  = var0 / var1 ;

 

Any ideas on what's wrong? Thanks.

which chart has this code applied?

what are the differences between the charts?

what are you looking for?

 

with the limited information you are providing, you are not being helpful to yourself.

I thought from the charts it's pretty obvious what the differences are. The ergodic oscillator plotted on each of the chart does not match when they should (same time frame). The indicator was applied to the same symbol with the same time frame 3 different times. However, each time MultiCharts plotted it differently.

 

To clarify, my Ergodic code was applied to the E-mini S&P (symbol ES #F from eSignal).

 

Anyways, Tams, can I send you my code in a private message? I think it'll be very difficult to explain what's going on or what I'm trying to ask in this thread.

 

Thanks.

why are you using a custom code?

 

if the anomaly is observed after the customization, then the error is in the customization.

You cannot use a FC function inside a function.

 

I have highlighted the error in your code.

 

 

 

 

 

Inputs:
Price( NumericSeries ), 
Period( NumericSimple );

Variables:
var0( 0 ),
var1( 0 );

if CurrentBar = 1 then 
begin
for Value1 = 0 to Period - 1
	begin
	var0 = var0 + ( Period - Value1 ) * Price[Value1] ;
	end ;
end
else
var0 = var0[1] + Period * Price[0] - SummationFC(Price, Period) ;  {<---- error here}

var1 = ( Period + 1 ) * Period * .5 ;
WMA  = var0 / var1 ;

    • also ... and barely on topic... Winners (always*) overpay. Buying the dips is a subscription to the belief that winners win by underpaying - when in actuality winners (inevitably/always*) win by overpaying... it’s amazing the percentage of traders who think winners win by underpaying ... “Winners (always*) overpay.” ...  One way to implement this ‘belief’ is to only reenter when prices have emphatically resumed the 'trend' .   (Fwiw, While “Winners (always*) overpay.” holds true in most endeavors (relationships, business, sports, etc...) - “Winners (always*) overpay.”  is especially true for auctions... continuous auctions included.)
    • re:  "Does it make sense to always buy the dips?  “Buy the dip.”  You hear this all the time in crypto investing trading speculation gambling. [zdo taking some liberties] It refers, of course, to buying more bitcoin (or digital assets) when they go down in price: when the price “dips.” Some people brag about “buying the dip," showing they know better than the crowd. Others “buy the dip” as an investment strategy: they’re getting a bargain. The problem is, buying the dip is a fallacy. You can’t buy the dip, because you can't see the total dip until much later. First, I’ll explain this in a way that will make it simple and obvious to you; then I’ll show you a better way of investing. You Only Know the Dip in Hindsight When people talk about “buying the dip,” what they’re really saying is, “I bought when the price was going down.” " ... example of a dip ... 
    • Date: 19th April 2024. Weekly Commodity Market Update: Oil Prices Correct and Supply Concerns Persist.   The ongoing developments in the Middle East sparked a wave of risk aversion and fueled supply concerns and investors headed for safety. Hopes for imminent rate cuts from the Federal Reserve diminish while attention is now turning towards the demand outlook. The Gold price hit a high of $2417.89 per ounce overnight. Sentiment has already calmed down again and bullion is trading at $2376.50 per ounce as haven flows ease. Oil prices initially moved higher as concern over escalating tensions with the WTI contract hit a session high of $85.508 per barrel overnight, before correcting to currently $81.45 per barrel. Oil Prices Under Pressure Amid Middle East Tensions Last week, commodity indexes showed little movement, with Oil prices undergoing a slight correction. Meanwhile, Gold reached yet another record high, mirroring the upward trend in cocoa prices. Once again today, USOil prices experienced a correction and has remained under pressure, retesting the 50-day EMA at $81.00 as we moving into the weekend. Hence, despite the Israel’s retaliatory strike on Iran, sentiments stabilized following reports suggesting a measured response aimed at avoiding further escalation. Brent crude futures witnessed a more than 4% leap, driven by concerns over potential disruptions to oil supplies in the Middle East, only to subsequently erase all gains. Similarly with USOIL, UKOIL hovers just below $87 per barrel, marginally below Thursday’s closing figures. Nevertheless, volatility is expected to continue in the market as several potential risks loom:   Disruption to the Strait of Hormuz: The possibility of Iran disrupting navigation through the vital shipping lane, is still in play. The Strait of Hormuz serves as the Persian Gulf’s primary route to international waters, with approximately 21 million barrels of oil passing through daily. Recent events, including Iran’s seizure of an Israel-linked container ship, underscore the geopolitical sensitivity of the region. Tougher Sanctions on Iran: Analysts speculate that the US may impose stricter sanctions on Iranian oil exports or intensify enforcement of existing restrictions. With global oil consumption reaching 102 million barrels per day, Iran’s production of 3.3 million barrels remains significant. Recent actions targeting Venezuelan oil highlight the potential for increased pressure on Iranian exports. OPEC Output Increases: Despite the desire for higher prices, OPEC members such as Saudi Arabia and Russia have constrained output in recent years. However, sustained crude prices above $100 per barrel could prompt concerns about demand and incentivize increased production. The OPEC may opt to boost oil output should tensions escalate further and prices surge. Ukraine Conflict: Amidst the focus on the Middle East, markets overlooking Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Potential retaliatory strikes by Kyiv on Russian oil infrastructure could impact exports, adding further complexity to global oil markets.   Technical Analysis USOIL is marking one of the steepest weekly declines witnessed this year after a brief period of consolidation. The breach below the pivotal support level of 84.00, coupled with the descent below the mid of the 4-month upchannel, signals a possible shift in market sentiment towards a bearish trend reversal. Adding to the bearish outlook are indications such as the downward slope in the RSI. However, the asset still hold above the 50-day EMA which coincides also with the mid of last year’s downleg, with key support zone at $80.00-$81.00. If it breaks this support zone, the focus may shift towards the 200-day EMA and 38.2% Fib. level at $77.60-$79.00. Conversely, a rejection of the $81 level and an upside potential could see the price returning back to $84.00. A break of the latter could trigger the attention back to the December’s resistance, situated around $86.60. A breakthrough above this level could ignite a stronger rally towards the $89.20-$90.00 zone.

    • Date: 18th April 2024. Market News – Stock markets benefit from Dollar correction. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Technical buying, bargain hunting, and risk aversion helped Treasuries rally and unwind recent losses. Yields dropped from the recent 2024 highs. Asian stock markets strengthened, as the US Dollar corrected in the wake of comments from Japan’s currency chief Masato Kanda, who said G7 countries continue to stress that excessive swings and disorderly moves in the foreign exchange market were harmful for economies. US Stockpiles expanded to 10-month high. The data overshadowed the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East as traders await Israel’s response to Iran’s unprecedented recent attack. President Joe Biden called for higher tariffs on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum.   Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex stumbled, falling to 105.66 at the end of the day from the intraday high of 106.48. It lost ground against most of its G10 peers. There wasn’t much on the calendar to provide new direction. USDJPY lows retesting the 154 bottom! NOT an intervention yet. BoJ/MoF USDJPY intervention happens when there is more than 100+ pip move in seconds, not 50 pips. USOIL slumped by 3% near $82, as US crude inventories rose by 2.7 million barrels last week, hitting the highest level since last June, while gauges of fuel demand declined. Gold strengthened as the dollar weakened and bullion is trading at $2378.44 per ounce. Market Trends:   Wall Street closed in the red after opening with small corrective gains. The NASDAQ underperformed, slumping -1.15%, with the S&P500 -0.58% lower, while the Dow lost -0.12. The Nikkei closed 0.2% higher, the Hang Seng gained more than 1. European and US futures are finding buyers. A gauge of global chip stocks and AI bellwether Nvidia Corp. have both fallen into a technical correction. The TMSC reported its first profit rise in a year, after strong AI demand revived growth at the world’s biggest contract chipmaker. The main chipmaker to Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp. recorded a 9% rise in net income, beating estimates. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Date: 17th April 2024. Market News – Appetite for risk-taking remains weak. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks, Treasury yields and US Dollar stay firmed. Fed Chair Powell added to the recent sell off. His slightly more hawkish tone further priced out chances for any imminent action and the timing of a cut was pushed out further. He suggested if higher inflation does persist, the Fed will hold rates steady “for as long as needed.” Implied Fed Fund: There remains no real chance for a move on May 1 and at their intraday highs the June implied funds rate future showed only 5 bps, while July reflected only 10 bps. And a full 25 bps was not priced in until November, with 38 bps in cuts seen for 2024. US & EU Economies Diverging: Lagarde says ECB is moving toward rate cuts – if there are no major shocks. UK March CPI inflation falls less than expected. Output price inflation has started to nudge higher, despite another decline in input prices. Together with yesterday’s higher than expected wage numbers, the data will add to the arguments of the hawks at the BoE, which remain very reluctant to contemplate rate cuts. Canada CPI rose 0.6% in March, double the 0.3% February increase BUT core eased. The doors are still open for a possible cut at the next BoC meeting on June 5. IMF revised up its global growth forecast for 2024 with inflation easing, in its new World Economic Outlook. This is consistent with a global soft landing, according to the report. Financial Markets Performance:   USDJPY also inched up to 154.67 on expectations the BoJ will remain accommodative and as the market challenges a perceived 155 red line for MoF intervention. USOIL prices slipped -0.15% to $84.20 per barrel. Gold rose 0.24% to $2389.11 per ounce, a new record closing high as geopolitical risks overshadowed the impacts of rising rates and the stronger dollar. Market Trends:   Wall Street waffled either side of unchanged on the day amid dimming rate cut potential, rising yields, and earnings. The major indexes closed mixed with the Dow up 0.17%, while the S&P500 and NASDAQ lost -0.21% and -0.12%, respectively. Asian stock markets mostly corrected again, with Japanese bourses underperforming and the Nikkei down -1.3%. Mainland China bourses were a notable exception and the CSI 300 rallied 1.4%, but the MSCI Asia Pacific index came close to erasing the gains for this year. Always trade with strict risk management.
