    Hi,

    Im testing a strategy based on Center of Gravity by Belkhayate and MBFX Timing 2.
    Indicators found here:
    https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/center-of-gravity/#post-19219
    https://www.prorealcode.com/prorealtime-indicators/mbfx-timing-v2/

    Instead of calling the indicators I’ve included them in the code for easier optimisation and faster loading. But I have an issue with the GRAPHONPRICE function for the COG indicator. The lines are not plotted the same as if I were to add the indicator on price chart settings manually. In the screenshot I have included COG both in code and Price Chart settings.

    I’m a bit stuck and would be grateful for some help, also any thoughts or suggestions regarding the strategy is very much appreciated.

    My sauna is warm and beer is cold…I’ll be right back…

    Here is the screenshot (forgot to add in first post).

    The coloured lines are from the code. The white lines are from Price settings. The lines should look the same because they are same indicator…or am I missing something?

    Isn’t CoG one of those classic indicators that changes its value afterwards (swe: i efterhand) kind of like the ZigZag also does? It’s fantastic when backtesting but impossible to use on demo/live. If so, avoid it 🙂

    Ah, I have to read more about COG. Might have missunderstood its purpose. Thanks for the heads upp swedshare!

    Indeed the COG change its value afterwards. By the way the DPO indicator cannot be used in real live trading because it knows the future of the bars which is obviously not possible in real time, while it is possible with a complete data history.

    Thanks Nicolas, I did read more about COG and your explanation makes sense and was vey helpful.

    I will continue to examine the new MBFX Timing 2. Has anyone tested it with other indicators and wants to share their thoughts? I know that Bard has a topic also about MBFX.

    As indicated you can’t use DPO and Graph instructions in your code

    @keewee:

    Have you seen this site? The author is using something like COG or kind of support/resistance lines.

    #131210

    @Fabian , as Nicolas and swedshare pointed out it cannot be used in Live trading.

    #131212

    are you sure that he’s using GoG?

    you were asking for other indicators. That’s what I found. Maybe it’s kind of pivot resistance bands if GoG can’t be used in live trading?

    Beware of snake oil salesmen with mystery liquid in their bottles that they can’t tell you the ingredients of but that they can tell you works miracles for all ailments – particularly ailments such as being poor but wanting to be rich at only $100 dollars a bottle. Someone will get rich but it most likely won’t be you!

    Maybe I did not express myself clearly enough, or the link immediately triggered certain thinking patterns.
    It was my intention to develop the setup further regardless of whether the salesman is fraudulent or not. (Use GoG in live trades)

    Perhaps the following could be used for this in addition?

    @Fabian , when you write “COG” do you acutally mean  “MBFX Timing 2”? That is, you want to develope a strategy based by MBFX Timin 2 indicator? In that case it would be interesting to try.

    BUT if you are still trying to build an automated algo out of the above mentioned “COG”, we can not because how the indicator works.
