Because one of my customer ask me to convert a complete set of indicators and a template from a manual trading strategy found in FF and babypips, from MT4 to PRT, i’m sharing here the whole thing. He’s OK to share the stuff with everyone. I asked him because I found this project interesting and may certainly be in interest of any other people here.
This is a copy/past of the rules found at FF:
HISTORY
I’m NOT the creator of this system. The original system can be found on BabyPips Free Trading Systems
I want to share it here because i have read that a lot of people already have success in trading it. Some already doubling their live accounts!
TMT Means
Trend-Momentum-Trendline
The logic of the system means trading trendline breaks in the direction of the trend and momentum.
Therefore, increasing the probability of the trendline break setup… Also, Drawing trendlines require knowledge in price action

I can set my SL = 10Pips and TP = 20Pips
I can set my SL = 7Pips and TP = 20Pips
Risk Reward can vary from 1:1 to 1:3
This will depend on market structure of the setup present
**I think this section depends on trader, because personally i would like to set my SL and TP on support and resistance levels

Please find attached the whole indicators. The big daily candlestick indicator is only intended to work on the prorealtime version 10.3 version.
Please find below some trade examples.
(note: I’m not the author of this strategy and I don’t trade it myself).
Hello Nicolas.
I still have my itf import problem.. could it be possible to post the code for MFI Filtered and RSI Filtered ?
Will contact Prorealtime next week about this itf import problem.
Hello Nicolas.
If possible, could you copy and paste the PRT codes for MFI Filtered and RSI Filtered ? … and the mq4 file so i can compare them to the indicators i have (i have only ex4 o these 2 indis and would be happy to have the source code).
Hello, please find below the source code of these 2 indicators:
MFI filtered:
i = MoneyFlowIndex[14]
q=1
if i>50 then
filter=1
else
filter=-1
endif
RETURN q coloured by filter
RSI filtered:
i = RSI[8](close)
avg = average[8](i)
if avg>50 then
filter=1
else
filter=-1
endif
RETURN filter coloured by filter
Very nice. Thanks. Have you the mq4 version so i can compare to the one i have ?
Good afternoon Nicolas,
I tried to start a trading strategy with some rule , but I have only short position , DO you know Why ?
Follow the code

I think that is the MFI (Money Flow Index) indicator that cause trouble because it needs volumes for its own calculation. So if the instrument don’t have any volumes information, the value is constantly under 50, so MFI filter is always equal to -1, that’s why you only have short positions.
FYI, this strategy is intended to be manually traded because of trendline break, drawn manually when a “inside EMA” is spotted on chart.
Hello,,can you help me to install the indicator correct like in the image,,dont get the same rezult,, only indicator no themplate
@lagjan
Just import the files into your platform and add them on chart. All indicators that display on price, please use the ‘add on price’ button, the wrench of the upper left side of the price chart.
How to import/export files in prorealtime.
Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for this. Very interresting.
I encounter the following problem : on all my forex pairs, MFI filter stays at -1 …. No problem on DAX, CAC, DOW, NASDAQ…
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance
MFI is dealing with Volumes and forex pairs have no Volumes with your broker apparently.
@Nicolas, I just realised that this is very close to what I was trying to do in my diagonal trend breakout strategy that I coded.
Well at least as far as rules 6, 7 and 8 goes.
If we can add rules 1 to 5 to my strategy we have essentially automated this. Thoughts on this?
Rules 1 to 5 are very easy to code / automate. If you think you can separate your trendlines code as a reusable function, it could be implemented in a lot of strategy. This manual trading system has a common sense of playing trend rebound, identified/validated with trendlines violation. Believe me or not, but this kind of trading is the most efficient and ‘pure’ ones I met in many different trading approach mates of mine or customers talked me about. No matter how the process of entering the market takes place, it is always more or less the same thing: rebound in trend.
FYI, I managed to add rules 1 to 5 to my trendline break strategy but the results are not good, it literally halves the profits from the existing strategy. I coded it as follow and used the long/short criteria to determine when to allow setting my stop orders upon breakout of the trendline (as volume is not always available I ended up exprementing with replacing the MFI with ADX):
If close > DOpen(0) and MoneyFlowIndex[14] > 50 and average[8](RSI[8](close)) > 50 and Average[7,2](close) > Average[20,2](close) and close < Average[7,2](close) Then
long = 1
short = 0
ElsIf close < DOpen(0) and MoneyFlowIndex[14] < 50 and average[8](RSI[8](close)) < 50 and Average[7,2](close) < Average[20,2](close) and close > Average[7,2](close) Then
short = 1
long = 0
EndIf
