Hi Tams

 

I use your smart indicator on all of my averages and I adore it

 

It's cool to see quickly a reverse

 

But it is based only on the 2 last bars

 

It draws a line between 2 points like a finger Showing a direction

 

with Amibroker it shows the entire last 17 bars (ex on my graph) projected in the future

 

This is a huge difference

 

Moving the slider shows in RT that it is all of the average which slides in the future

 

In my example It could B interesting 2 test different lenght and draw an horizontal line at an eventual resistance in the future 2 C what gonna happen ?

 

Regards

It could have been a nice short entry ( bubble blue = trend down ) the day after on monday at the open a little bit over the 32.38 resistance

Hi Head2K

 

On Virgins and The Tooth Fairy is an interesting enigmatic philososophical view

 

"The money under the pillow is not evidence of the existence of the tooth fairy,

and spring will arrive regardless of whether the virgin is tossed into the volcano or not."

 

B sure that On this site I take good care of all views from pro traders like DbPhoenix or you

 

***************************************************************

 

As a beginner, learning the basics, step by step, as a 2 yo baby,

 

I observe, think and try 2 find as much as possible "reasonnable" good reasons 2 enter a trade

 

************************************************************************

 

- The white line is a potential pull back to a broken support

 

- It's also the 4th wave and we expect the 5th one ending down

 

- It's 50 % of Fibo retracement

 

- The trend was down

 

- etc

 

- etc

 

- and of course much more reasons that we don't know (yet)

 

All of them are not coincidences because we saw their patterns with, let say 75 % of success

 

Why Tams' MA Ribbon on my example, if we see this "coincidence" with 75 % of success, could not B an other good reason to enter a trade?

 

**********************************************************************************

 

So with x good reasons with 75 % of succes, we could decide 2 enter short over 32.38 on monday morning

 

Where should have gone the price during the day ?

 

a) Go down and making the 76 th % good reason of success ?

 

B) May B a good news should have explosed all these good reasons making a crazy long rally sliding down the 75% of good reasons to 49 % ?

 

*********************************

 

Best regards

PS What's important is the stair-step based ... specially after a drink party if the light switch off ... Hips ! :cheers:

I've never said that I am a pro trader. DbPhoenix is a pro trader, I am just a beginner like you.

 

As for the rest of your post, well, it's your journey. My point, and the point of On Virgins and The Tooth Fairy, was just to warn you from looking for reasons where none exist. Price certainly had a reason to turn at that price level. But did this reason have anything to do with 40 periods EMA displaced for 17 periods on a 5 minute chart? I mean, can you even imagine why would it? I can't.

Just coincidence. What's important is the stair-step based S/R, your white horizontal line. You could have put the whole indicator away and leave just the white line... and see "what happens".

 

I'll second that :-)

 

There is also another "Ribbon" code to give you a simple on/off that runs along the bottom of Ami or Metastock to tell you if price is above/below your trend setup condition (MA). Gives you a very clean chart to work with and lets you focus on the s/r levels without any MA's getting in the way.

 

I have to say I found visual indicators very helpful with those light bulb moments in the early days of system exploration though :-)

I put The MA Ribbon into the Omega Research Power Editior and it wont verify. Two errors please see the attached file. Any help thanks.

 

word not recognized

 

that means the indicator is using a new keyword that is not yet available in your version of TradeStation.

    • 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!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
