  Hey guys,

  I saw Nicolas indicator tried it on my charts. I relly liked the strongbuy/strongsell signals and tried to make it into a strategy but I can´t make it buy/sell att the strong indicators, only at the normal signals that are behind // in the attached strategy. What am I missing?

  Q-trend base

  atrp = 14 //ATR Period mult = 1.0 //ATR Multiplier mode = 1 //Signal mode options = [1="Type A", 2="Type B"] useemasmoother = 0 //Smooth source with EMA? 0=false ; 1=true srcemaperiod = 3 //EMA Smoother period colorbars = 0 //Color bars? 0=false ; 1=true signalsview = 1 //0 = trend inversion ; 1 = strong buy / strong sell only // — end of settings Ls=1 source = customclose // Calculations if useemasmoother then src = average[srcemaperiod,1](source) else src=source endif hh = highest[p](src) // Highest of src p-bars back; ll = lowest[p](src) // Lowest of src p-bars back. d = hh - ll if barindex>p then once m = (hh + ll) / 2 // Initial trend line; atr = AverageTrueRange[atrp][1] // ATR; epsilon = mult * atr // Epsilon is a mathematical variable used in many different theorems in order to simplify work with mathematical object. Here it used as sensitivity measure. if mode=2 then //type B changeup = src crosses over m+epsilon or src crosses under m+epsilon changedown = src crosses over m-epsilon or src crosses under m-epsilon else changeup = src crosses over m+epsilon or src > m+epsilon changedown = src crosses under m-epsilon or src < m-epsilon endif sb = open < ll + d / 8 and open >= ll ss = open > hh - d / 8 and open <= hh strongbuy = sb or sb[1] or sb[2] or sb[3] or sb[4] strongsell = ss or ss[1] or ss[2] or ss[3] or ss[4] endif if (changeup or changedown) then if changeup then m=m + epsilon elsif changedown then m=m - epsilon endif else m=m[1] endif if changeup then r=0 g=255 elsif changedown then r=255 g=0 endif if signalsview=1 then if strongbuy and ls<>1 then buy at market endif if strongsell and ls<>-1 then sell at market endif //if r<>r[1]and r>0 then //sell at market //endif //if r<>r[1]and r=0 then //buy at market //endif endif

  Here is the modified version to trade only the “strong” signals:

  defparam cumulateorders=false defparam preloadbars=0 p=200 atrp = 14 //ATR Period mult = 1.0 //ATR Multiplier mode = 1 //Signal mode options = [1="Type A", 2="Type B"] useemasmoother = 0 //Smooth source with EMA? 0=false ; 1=true srcemaperiod = 3 //EMA Smoother period colorbars = 0 //Color bars? 0=false ; 1=true signalsview = 1 //0 = trend inversion ; 1 = strong buy / strong sell only // — end of settings source = customclose // Calculations if useemasmoother then src = average[srcemaperiod,1](source) else src=source endif hh = highest[p](src) // Highest of src p-bars back; ll = lowest[p](src) // Lowest of src p-bars back. d = hh - ll if barindex>p then once m = (hh + ll) / 2 // Initial trend line; atr = AverageTrueRange[atrp][1] // ATR; epsilon = mult * atr // Epsilon is a mathematical variable used in many different theorems in order to simplify work with mathematical object. Here it used as sensitivity measure. if mode=2 then //type B changeup = src crosses over m+epsilon or src crosses under m+epsilon changedown = src crosses over m-epsilon or src crosses under m-epsilon else changeup = src crosses over m+epsilon or src > m+epsilon changedown = src crosses under m-epsilon or src < m-epsilon endif sb = open < ll + d / 8 and open >= ll ss = open > hh - d / 8 and open <= hh strongbuy = sb or sb[1] or sb[2] or sb[3] or sb[4] strongsell = ss or ss[1] or ss[2] or ss[3] or ss[4] endif if (changeup or changedown) then if changeup then m=m + epsilon elsif changedown then m=m - epsilon endif else m=m[1] endif if changeup then r=0 g=255 elsif changedown then r=255 g=0 endif if signalsview=1 then if strongbuy and ls<>1 then buy at market ls=1 endif if strongsell and ls<>-1 then sellshort at market ls=-1 endif //if r<>r[1]and r>0 then //sell at market //endif //if r<>r[1]and r=0 then //buy at market //endif endif

  Hello,

  When I run the strategy in ProOrder, nothing happens! Neither with the original version, nor with Nicolas’ version…

  Can you help me

  thanks

  J’ai essayé en 1s, M1 et M15 sur l’EURUSD mini. Ce que j’essaie de faire avec cet indicateur et cette stratégie est d’aller et venir en fonction du « signalview = 0 » Flèche verte = acheter au marché, flèche rouge = sortir puis vendre au marché, flèche verte = sortie puis acheter… J’ai essayé d’éliminer certains signaux en jouant sur les réglages pour ne garder que les mouvements intéressants, en vain. Aussi avec la programmation assistée PRT = erreur.

  Merci d’avance Nicolas

  I tried in 1s, M1 and M15 on the EURUSD mini. What I am trying to do with this indicator and this strategy is to go back and forth based on the “signalview=0” Green arrow= buy at the market, red arrow= exit then sell at the market, green arrow= exit then buy… I tried to eliminate some signals by playing on the settings to keep only the interesting movements, in vain. Also with PRT assisted programming = error.

  Thank you in advance Nicolas
