Where are the scalpers in this forum, everyone Swingers?

New comment
 

Hi all,

Whenever I ask for a strategy in here all the answers based on Swing trades.

However we are programmers that means we have advantage of speed and recurrency.

I have never heard use M1 and go aggressive use low spread pairs etc etc.

Why?

Why all strategies in here are based on High timeframes and swing points?

      Is there any symple answer like "200 points" is enough.

      Is there any symple answer like "200 points" is enough.

      It depends on the trading systems you are going to use:

      • some people like scalping;
      • the other people like classical way of trading (On H4 or D1 timeframe) where "200 points" is not enough;
      • next people like counter trade, or tick scalping, or tick martingale scalping, and more.

      So, it depends on the personal prefferances.

      Adaptive lookback indicators

      Of adaptive lookback

      The Adaptive Lookback (period finder) is truly a market-driven indicator used to determine the variable lookback period for many different indicators, instead of a traditional, fixed figure.

      It is based on the frequency of market swings - the time between swing highs or swing lows. A swing high is defined as two consecutive higher highs followed by two consecutive lower highs; a swing low is defined by two consecutive lower lows followed by two consecutive higher lows. As swing points typically accompany reversals, they occur more frequently in choppier and volatile markets than in trends.

      Adaptive lookback period is determined as :

      1. Determine the initial number of swing points (swingCount parameter) to use in the calculation.
      2. Count the number of price bars it takes for thenswing points to form.
      3. Divide step 2 by step 1 and round the result.

      Interpretation

      This makes the variable lookback period grow in calm or trending markets, and shorten in range-bound and volatile markets. For a trend-following system you would like the opposite to prevent being whipsawed, therefore this indicator and it's usage as a period modifier is more suitable for short-term traders and counter-trend systems (so, in all systems where maximal speed of reaction and signaling is required).

      Experiment with applying the adaptive lookback period to different indicators and you'll see how more responsive they become in volatile markets. Some of the experiments are going to be posted on this thread with immediate comparison to "non-adaptive" counterparts

      • Key thread with indicators (for MT4 and MT5):
        - lb - swing points indicator for MT4 -the post: the basic indicator (simply showing swing points). You will notice that it draws the "peak" with 2 bars displacement. That is done in   order to avoid any any kind of repainting (no lag is added to swing points finding thought);
