Still working on my script, I think I’m slowly, very slowly working my way towards a logic that seems like it might accomplish what I need.
Watching the legs grow!!!
Wow been away for quite some time, this has taken off lol.
Found this software that combines excel and trading platform in one - any thoughts on this Rel? search for FXone in google.
So let me get this straight…::
The swings are combination of multiple Tf’s. So the daily swings are from candle to candle:
- current candle high with next candle low.
- current candle low with next candle high.
Then on a lower timeframe these ‘daily swings’ are shown clearer…rinse and repeat.
Am i correct on this or not? Signal bender just bends my eyes and struggle to understand him a lot of times…
Need to revise this thread again.
Regards and congratulations on your success Rel, you worked hard for it, you deserve it 
Still chugging along. Got a MAJOR portion of the logic working. Might not seem like much, but plotting across sessions now, the High and Low of the intra sesison.
What I did was store everything at the EOD of each session for now. Then look back, to the prior day, where the MM details are store, and count BACK with a loop after the main move, and plot out the intersession, after the MM is known for that prior day.
Plotting the Primary leg in the intersession should be simple now.
After that, I’ll look into plotting the 2ndary, and possible up to a fourth legs, and the logic associated with that would need to decide IF more than one leg is present. I think simply running the loop 5 times, and simply displaying the non-zero entities? But will cross that when I get to it.
First Leg is “mostly” working now. Still has a few kinks, but at least it is basically functioning now.
Actually, having some trouble thinking of the logic for the next leg?
First leg I created by looking at end of day, back at the inter session, starting with that bar, and stepping forward and noting each time a new high/low is made in that session, and store that bar. Then calculate the main move by subtracting the HOD from LOD.
But the next swing… must think on that for a bit.
I have learned a tremendous amount about myself by reading this thread. Relativity, whoever you are, keep doing your thing.
Hi pelt,
My logic for plotting the 2nd, 3rd and 4th legs is determining the major move of the void area between the MM and RM. Means moving back and forth using the same logic for plotting the MMs and RMs. In essence write a method with parameters starttime and endtime and within that just determine the highest and lowest bar. This will give you the 1st leg and for the 2nd leg continue with that method but using different starttime and endtime depending where the RM occured.
Hope that helps.
Hi Rela,
Like mbronczyk I do have a somewhat different 4 legged swing. Guess you might use a different swing algorithm than us.
Also, how do you treat situations like 6th march 2013 - 7th march 2013 where both MMs ended exactly at the daily delimiter? Probably one doesn’t count them at all.
Very interesting!
Still having a bit of trouble scripting that intra move.
For now, tried modeling the behavior a bit differently as shown in the picture, along with some different types of sorting schemes.
I am wondering if anyone has several years of reliable tic data for a currency? I’m not to concerned with which one for the most part. I seem to only have about a good 8 months or so. If not tic, then minute data may be ok as well.
plet1,
try this: Download Free Forex Data – Free Forex Historical Data
not tick data but 1 minute. they even have the data for Ninjatrader.
Thank you so much good sir!
Very good resource to have.
never mind.
Hahaha! Slanted Head and Shoulders, am I close?
Make sure you guard yours as well!!! 
Congrats Rela.
So there is an order in the market. I’m courious and you dunno have to answer if you don’t want but are you talking about 1 wave pattern that occured 90% of time or is it something else?
Congratulations Rel,
You’ve come a long way and deserve every bit of it.
Now for a challenge…make it work on a random generator :33: (just kidding, theres certain elements that wouldnt allow it…or would it? :54:)
This thread contains so much information and shows at the same time the evolution of your skills (well at least part of) and trading. It’s one of the exceptional threads that ever exist in the public domain. Gonna have to dig another time throu it, to my luck I have bookmarked every posts of interest, that speeds up finding information :).
Gonna have to check out what pelt1 did. At least I’m not alone, hey pelt1 maybe we could help each other? What do u think?
Yes I coded the SB live stats and the MM indi myself. Being an IT engineer myself, the coding part was never an issue for me.
Really looking forward to get to that moment. Thanks Rela.
Hehe, you and me both are probably wondering what I posted at some point that was of use?!?!?!
I’m always open to collaboration until I figure something useful out, at that point, like most I would think the circle pretty much closes off except the people you came into greatness with.
Relativity, this thread appears to have a depth of knowledge and understanding that is very commonly overlooked these days. I would consider myself brand new to forex (began my research about 2 weeks ago). I have read through numerous online courses/training to try and grasp what it is all about and how to generate a system that is profitable, but nothing that I have read up to this point approaches it the way you do. Everywhere I look, it is about developing a plan and sticking to it, much of which is to be based on technical indicators. It seems as though there is much more to it than that based on what I have gathered from your thread so far.
I am looking forward to reading my way through this thread and learning from what you have been able to discover. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to all that I will gain from it!
