Price action seems to be quite an overused term these days, and there was even a recent rant about it that attempted to bring some honest discussion about the ambiguity of the term. Unfortunately, no agreement could be made on the definition, other than something along the lines of 'movement of ticks up or down in the market'. :crap:

 

What is needed is an indicator that does not repaint, and can provide clear direction what the market is doing now. (not to be confused with predicting what the market will do later). The basic definition of trending prices:

 

Uptrend - series of higher highs and higher lows

Downtrend - series of lower lows and lower highs.

 

lacks a starting point and an end point to determine the low or high. Often times these are done in hindsight, but what if the trend measurement could be drawn concurrently with the current price action?:idea: Similar to planning a roadtrip, if the user knew in advance how many ticks/pips they wanted to measure (the end point), and could agree on where the start point is, then a qualification process could be used to determine if the "price action" can in fact create a 'series of higher highs, lower lows, etc' between the two points.

 

APAMI does exactly this, dynamically:thumbs up: This video overview of the technical details of how apami functions should bring you up to speed.

The implementations you are being provided are for metatrader 4 and 5, but conceptually it can be implemented on any decent charting platform that supports a real-time price feed and custom programming language.

I have been referring to this indicator for quite some time on previous threads, and it took a while to put some things together. I use it in my own mechanical trading systems as a first part of the trade lifecycle: detect entry condition. the tradecycle article has one example of how you could implement apami, but the possibilities are technically endless. I suppose using moving averages are somewhat endless also.

 

The full whitepaper covers more technical information about how the indicator is calculated. TBA. But for 99% of you, just watch the videos and throw apami on a chart to see how it works. pay close attention to what happens after the moves "complete"

    • 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. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
