What Really Turned My Trading Around

I don’t mind sharing, but obviously wouldn’t be offering much support with it.

There is one caveat though, in that it uses RJay’s renko bars. So you would have to have those, or some other version for it to work. There are others that have made the same bar type, but its the kind where the close== high or low. They’re like p&F charts, but just visually different.

Rjay’s renko bars? is that for MT4?

Thanks for sharing the stuff that worked for you. it really helps.

can second that =)

Hi Rel, going through the thread and was wondering if i could get an invite for the vids post here ^^^
thanks.

Question,
Does anyone know where in the thread the synthetic charts are? I’m doing some similar type of work and remember seeing it during one of my reads through, but can’t seem to find it now.

Mister,
Everything I do is in Ninja.

If one puts effort into what Relativity laid out here on this thread, one can actually build the tools with the information he provided generously. First I had a hard time to grasp the concepts but after reading and re-reading posts I decided to code the tool in order to understand better. Finally I ended up with an indicator like his one mixed with some of my stats.

I just wanna show that it is possible to understand the concept. You just have to put effort into it.


The most important aspect of trading is exits. Where are your profits set and more importantly where are your stop losses set ?
Not easy, not easy…too tight on the stops = many small losers. Too tight on the profit setters, and you never have a big winner…which is critical.
Yeah, I’m in software and I back tested a thousand indicators 10 years ago…even customized them. Never found a decent one to satisfy my requirement for a straight-up equity curve.

Donchian however was profitable…but only before commissions. After commissions ? Straight-down equity curve !!!

Hi Kyubi,

I juist started to read this topic from the beginng gonna take a while to read everything.
what is you results now to use these tools?
thanks

Hi killerno,

The indicator give me some guidance on what possible scenarios can appear. It’s not a no-brainer tool, you have still to use common sense, it’s not a holy grail. Without understanding the underlying concept and what the tools shows you, it’ll be useless.

I finished developing it one month ago and it’s still too early to say something, but what I can say right now is that I’m more confident putting trades on as before.

Current market situation in term of SB waves. Market has to reach the TCD Long line to turn it into a bull market for the day. Chances are that market will stay in a range or preferably break the LOD and D2 will morph into a D4 wave.


Good to see you back!

Ah yes, I did manage to find it after I posted. I seemed to arrive at a different calculation as to why a currency really begins to trend. Not sure if my calculation is correct, but here is a little tool I created, still just observing it for now. You can see it across several different time horizons, updated once per minute.

Yes, the harmonic idea didn’t really seem to be going in a direction that I would find useful. I have “shelved” that idea for now. I will spend some time seeing if I can understand the new things you recently posted.

Hey relativity… I’m curious as to what your profession is… I know you went full time trading now, but before that?

I see you have some of the same issues I have. Mine uses a TON of cpu cycles to build that meter. It should, as it’s loading ALL 28 currency pairs of 1 minute data all at once, and crunching numbers on them. So, on my rig, it takes about a good 30 seconds to load that particular chart, and I have a gaming rig, with an SSD :slight_smile:

I like your idea of the “Major Move of the Day,” that’s what I’ve wanted, or at least that’s where my focus has been with regards to what I can get from the market. To capture a portion of it consistently. That’s why I had those charts I built that were looking only at the days main move, trying to figure the characteristics it may display.

It’s good that you are getting data into excel, it seems the people that eventually REALLY start collecting from the market mention how all of their answers eventually came to them in excel, and not so much on a chart. I haven’t found useful metrics yet, but it seems like eventually when I do they’ll be in some tabular format?!?!?!

Hi Rela,

Welcome back, the master returned :35:

Just when I thought that I did finally catch up with all the ideas, you pull out another new idea :33:. Are you still using SB waves or did you drop them? Those new classifications are they derived from the SB waves? Seems to have grown much more now with 28 types. What’s the meaning of the circled areas and those interrupted lines are they from gaps?

I really like the idea of only catching the daily major move, makes trading more relaxing I guess.

Hmmm… are we talking wave type patterns? That’s always been a thought, that there is some repetitive form of repetitive gyration sequence that occurs.

Hi Rel,
MasterforexV (english version) seems to not be working, did u by any chance archive the books?

I see you still dislike the term :p. Ok then you are someone who has inspired me.

Well, I didn’t quite pull it out. Signalbender / 7th / iDouble did work on something similar I suppose.

I am still considered using SB waves; its just that the way these waves are created are an offshoot of full scale vector analysis, something that I believe SB himself does. He calls it continuous and non-continuous TCDs thou.

Could you provide more info on what you mean by vector analysis?

Circle areas; swing in question
Empty areas; areas where another type of swing fills in (non-continuous TCD if one can call it that way)

Why are there empty areas? Do you mean gaps? There are no empy wave areas on the chart except gaps??

I’ve read SB definition of continuous and non-continuous TCDs over and over again, but it’s hard to grasp without an example. It’s basically the OHLC of a bar with continuous being OHLC on two bars in sequence (subsequence?) and TCDs must be opposing values but then what meant by opposing? H vs. L or any value within OHLC? Questions over questions, really difficult to imagine that’s why he’s been bashed by people on public forums whereever he appears. Kinda pitty that people with out of the box thinking are always getting driven away from the public forums when they are trying to teach something.

Oh, btw, why did you stop using SB waves?

cheers,

Kyubi

Blah…

Lol it means the only thread on this forum that had any potential of proving that technical analysis can be traded profitably sans heavy fundamental analysis is now floating away without resolution.
