Vitaly, I have a big favour to ask. Regarding OpenClose_N_Pairs, could you please add the following function to it:

If the Y-coordinate of Instrument1 equals the Y-coordinate of Instrument2, then close all positions.

That’s exactly what I’m missing, even with the trawl )

I’ll give it a go, but I can’t promise anything.

You must realise that the concept of an ‘intersection’ is very relative; literally one large bar disappearing on the left-hand side of the chart is enough to completely redraw the whole thing.

Then there’s the chart zoom level, monitor size and candle size. This isn’t a system anymore, it’s a ‘who knows what’

P.S. I’ve had a look – no, I definitely can’t promise anything – it’s a complete waste of time.

That’s exactly what I didn’t like about the classic pair

In other words, the signal isn’t unambiguous

Not only that, but it’s redrawn in such a way that the signal is reversed

in other words, it’s actually a ‘don’t know’

That’s what got me digging into it (one of the reasons; there are others)

That’s precisely why I was recording the values on the indicator, whilst using the candlesticks solely for a visual overview of how the pairs are moving – nothing more.

Again, 98 per cent of people here still don’t realise what a ‘pair’ is. They draw a cross through the majors and wait for some sort of breakout, and then run around all the forums saying it doesn’t work. It won’t work in that form.

That is precisely why I recorded the figures on the indicator, whilst using the candlesticks solely for a visual overview of the pairs’ movements – and nothing more.

Again, 98 per cent of people here still don’t get what ‘pair-based’ trading is all about. They set up a crossover using the major pairs and wait for some sort of breakout, and then run around all over the place saying it doesn’t work. It won’t work in that form.

So just give people the correct definition of a ‘pair’, with real-life examples. That’s all it takes. And everyone’ll be in profit.

Well, just give people a proper definition of ‘paired’, with real-life examples. That’s all there is to it. And everyone’s better off.
That’s exactly what I do, but not everyone reads it, and some don’t get round to it because trolls push the posts way down the thread.
