    I do not fully understand your question / comments above, but I hope this helps …

    1.Screener runs on many Instruments simultaneously (of your preferred choice).  You then decide on which Instrument to open a separate manual trade.

    2.  Indicator runs on one Instruments at a time (of your preferred choice). You then decide if you open a separate manual trade.

    3.  Algo / Bot / System is a coded strategy which takes trades automatically for you.  The Elder Triple Screen strategy could be coded into an Automated Trading Algo / Bot / System.

    Tks for your answer, I totally understand you and agree with you,

     

    My question is, can we use the basics triple screen strategy as a trading bot, I don’t think so, I think we can use as a screener and we have to check the share chart, Or we have to add more condition to use as a trading bot

    I also have a question about the triple screen tratedy, depends of my understanding on The new trading for living :

    Screen 1( bigger TF) : we have to use An unbounded trend indicator (like MACD, MACD histogram, ema, ….)

     

    Screen 2(middle TF) : we have to use A countertrend oscillator like, RSI, Stock, Force Index, ….

     

    Screen 3(Smaller TF): that’s my question, what we have to use here ?

    Screeners always have to have more code added to use as a bot, but generally this is an easy task.

    Attached 2 versions for the Triple Screener as a bot … please see if you can improve and share with us all on this Topic.

    Note:

    1. For the 1 min version, optimisation is for 10k bars, identified by 10k at end of bot title.
    2. For the 5 min version, optimisation looks like it is for 100k bars, but I can’t recall as I did it a few days ago and I didn’t add 100k at end of the title on that day. I just added 100k now for clarity, but let us know how you get on?

    The Elder Triple Screener is all done for us by the very kind Roberto. Why question further … unless you want to code your own from scratch??

    Markets are a moving … let’s get on with it and make some money!? 🙂

    Tks for your answer GraHal

    I opened your itf files and it’s looks the same as Roberto file, you just changed the the TF right ?

    Unfortunately I have only the free version of Prorealtime and the software don’t allow me to test this Probacktest on the smaller TF then Daily,

    Can you share the results here pls of a backtest ?

    I opened an IG account, I have to transfer some money and I will get the free Prorealtime for trying this strategy by myself and understand little more, and after that we can try other things

    Roberto

    tks you again and tks to the very kind Roberto, in my way of learning and understand  the strategy but also I want to understand more and try the other think like the MACD Histogramme or the impulse systeme in the first screen,

    but I still have the big question of the Screen number 3, what is the best think to use (I mean the idea not the indicator) ?

    I hope others may be able to answer your questions re the third screen. I spent 20 mins or so (with 1 eye on the tv! 🙂 ) on google but seems no simple direct answers.

    Loads on google though re Elder Triple Screen.

    As simple as it looks, it seems to work fine on many major indexes. Tested on SP500, DAX, Dow, NASDAQ and CAC40.
    What do you think? In the end, it’s pure price action.

    I also added SL and TP.

    Roberto original had one overall SL and TP for longs and shorts.

    I changed to separate SL and TP for Longs and Shorts.

    Also for the 1 minute version I changed the 3 Timeframes from Roberto original.

    Just saying for clarification.

    can you post a backtest screen shot of your bastesting pls ?

    Loads on google though re Elder Triple Screen.

    tks for your answer, I will come back with the third screen solution, in the old book for the third screen he placed a buy stop order for a long trade one tick above the last candle, so if the price exceeds this value, he enter long and placed the SL in the lowest of the previous candle, but this solution have 2 probleme
    – First problem if the previous candle (candle[1]) have a big range so the distance of the SL will be big also, and it’s mean you will buy a small quantity of shares
    – Seconde problem is if the previous candle of long entry have a small range, you will be stoped easely from your long trade and maybe you miss the long trend

     

    and the second solution is to use a average between lowest price and the fast moving average for determine the futur entry price,

     

    and the third solution I think of the entry in the thrid screen is a technique of daytrader, and thins I don’t know how to do it

     

    again sorry for my bad english

    Here are screenshots from SP500 and Nasdaq. As I said, it’s just a concept of how you could trade with this trading system. SL / TP and trailing stop should be added. And of course the short side. What do the others think?

    I want to ask you about the SL and TP

    I also added SL and TP.

    Roberto original had one overall SL and TP for longs and shorts.

    I changed to separate SL and TP for Longs and Shorts.

    Also for the 1 minute version I changed the 3 Timeframes from Roberto original.

    Just saying for clarification.

    what is mean A66 ?, it’s mean 66 point ?

    and for me it’s not make sense to use a SL just with some value, for exemple it’s possible to get consecutive losses, what is your strategy for resolve that ?

    and did you use some money managment rule in you back test strategy ?

    and why you don’t use a mixte of a hard stop with a traling stop or some think like that, you can maybe get beter result ?

    // somethink like that
    SET STOP LOSS XX TRAILING XXX
