I just edited this post and transferred the comment to the ‘reducing reducing entry signals’ thread as that seems a little more relevant.

Hey Said,

What is the max DD for your ASX MRV system that you found in your Monte Carlo runs?

The month of October results you just posted wouldn’t be too far off that?

[CAIHuang]

Hey Julian,

Are you using a buy stop H +.01 or buying on open the following day?

Also Said what are you using for your entry price?

[CAIHuang]

What system was that with Nick?
That is a scary gap

Does this trail Stop look right for the dollar stop in the modules?

_SECTION_BEGIN (“Dollar Stop”);

//===============================================================

PF = Paramfield(“Price Field”,1); //Price field default to High

StopD = Param(“Trailing Stop $”,0.5,1,1000,0.1);

TrailStop = PF – StopD;

In one of the examples there was a 1- in front of the param function:

PF = Paramfield(“Price Field”,1); //Price field default to High
StopP = 1-Param(“Trailing Stop %”,20,1,100,0.1)/100;
TrailStop = PF * StopP;

Does that 1- refer the the “price field” being true and the “trailing stop” being subtracted from the “price field”?

Cheers

Thanks Craig!

I just wanted to post on this thread to seek a little help with some coding. I am currently on site so my internet connection is probably too weak to attend a skype session.

I’m on module 12/27 and and trying to suss out the coding entries code.

This is what I have coded up so far and would love some help to see if I am on the right track or what could be changed with an explanation. I’m a bit stuck.

_SECTION_BEGIN (“Example Slow Stoch + ATR Buy Limit Entry”);
//===============================================================
C1 = StochK(5,3) < 10;
C2 = C < (C-1);
BuySetUp = C1 AND C2;
BuyLimit = L < 1.5*ATR(10);
Buy = Ref (BuySetup,-1) AND Ref (BuyLimit,-1) <= L;
BuyPrice = Max(Open,Ref (BuyLimit,-1));

Cheers

Hey,

My name is Luke Aram. I am 30 and I live in Perth. I am currently working on Barrow Island in the north west on a FIFO roster. I have been doing so for almost 5 years. Before that I worked as a structural drafter in the city at an engineering firm. I started FIFO work so I could set myself up financially and also to get a big capital base for trading.

I started gaining an interest in the stock market in early 2009 and started researching the stock market via a few subscription emails (the first being the ultra bearish ‘Daily Reckoning’). I had a few hot tips for some speculative shares and I started to trawl through the threads of ‘Hotcopper’ and ‘Aussie Stock Forum’ to gather information and chase more hot tips. I burnt some money and also made a packet on a few trades.It didn’t take long till I started to gain a real interest in technical analysis. I have read countless books and have traded ‘The Chartist’ discretionary setups. I also started to dabble in day trading/swing trading the forex market. I however realised that I was way under capitalised for my strong aspirations of ‘trading for a living’! So hunted out FIFO work to gather funds for trading and other reasons.

For the majority of my FIFO career I have been working 12 hour days with a pretty average internet connection on a 26 days on and 9 days off roster. That with working out in the gym didn’t leave my a lot of time to trade so I took a back seat and passively watched the markets and read trading books. Beginners cycle rearing it’s ugly head again to some degree. I do suffer from information overload and am constantly reading and learning new strategies. Not necessarily chasing the holy grail, just always trying to learn and equip myself better for trading when I should spend more time actually trading!

Over the years I have always wanted to learn Amibroker inside out and learn to code and create a few profitable systems. I have realised over the years that day trading for a living would be a very tough ask and if I could trade some discretionary setups and have some good systems running then that would be a great approach to earning and being continually involved in the market.

I don’t have any coding experience so there is a lot for me to learn. I now work on a 2 weeks on 2 weeks off roster so I will do my best when I am away on site for 2 weeks but will aim to get as much done as possible on my 2 weeks off. I still have set aside some time to trade the European Forex market open and try out some discretionary swing trading strategies. I have a wife but no kids as yet so do have quite a bit of free time on my 2 weeks off. I am really looking forward to the mentor program and hope Craig and Nick can assist me with gaining the valuable knowledge to competently and confidently trade mechanical systems while also imparting some general share trading wisdom along the way.The forum looks great too and I am keen to participate in it more. I started the course 12 days ago and am almost finished Section 2 Module 8.

Cheers

Luke

Yeah I just checked it again then and it is all fine.
Thanks for your assistance mate.

[CAIHuang]

Thanks for the reply TrenRoth,

I have made the change and it doesn’t seem to have any effect on the way the MMA is displayed in amibroker.

Hey,

I started the course last week so I am still at the earlier stages. I am trying to code the GuppyMMA ATM and this code I am plotting is coming out a little weird. It shows in Amibroker on my chart as red dashed lines. When I edit the parameters to change the colours or line types it also plays up. For example I click the make it a dashed line (the default is thick) and it changes the colour to Aqua. I click to change it to a hidden line and it changes the colour to dark red etc. It does all sorts of weird stuff when I change the colours in the edit parameters section too. Not sure why this is and would love someone to help and identify the problem if possible.

Cheers

Luke

[CAIHuang]

Perfect. That’s good for me Nick.

Cheers

Luke
