I started learning C programming in 2010. From there I picked up many languages.
I'm working on several indicator projects and EA concepts.

This was a manual trade. It was a Sell Limit placed at the daily vwap price when the dollar gained strength again. I would say this trade was a bit of luck too to get such a bid price

Added topic Preventing unreasonable losses in an EA
I don't know if I'm the only one who came to think that making a successful autonomous expert advisor is like playing a tedious chess game against the market. Some people may say that it is impossible longterm, however it will also depend on how

this was another entry on the VWAP price
the way I see it, whether you buy or sell at this price, there's some profit there eitherway
I am on a demo account performing these tests where I put indicators into live testing

this entry was the VWAP price at the time I placed the buy limit, it seems like a good indicator to me, and it's downloadable on the codebase

Added topic Gmails tightened security preventing SendMail from working
I recall in the past the SendMail function working seamlessly with gmail, but now it doesn't any longer. I created an external app password at http://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords but using this password in the SMTP password

I used to think that from a 10K account and 1:33 leverage, a 1 month profit of 1 - 2K would be very good. But this current strategy is showing much greater alpha in one month.While I know that not every month can be the same, and that one month historical backtest means nothing for the future, it gives me an indication that this strategy has substance if it can show results like that. This is the power of ATR.

By not immediately executing a trade upon a signal...you can refine entries using states. It's just a bit more work.

It's crazy to think that technical analysis in financial markets borrowed from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, statistics and probability theories, geospatial engineering, thermodynamics, neuroscience....the list goes on

A promising work underway..
- Candles are colored based on IDWMA price cross, noise, momentum, and doji patterns
- Extreme channel to calculate extreme prices on the last 30 bars
- ATR bands from the IDWMA price
Buy:
Previous and current green candle
Bid price is below the midpoint of the extreme channel
Bid price is above the 50 period EMA
Position stop loss trails on ATR band
Sell:
Previous and current red candle
Bid price is above the midpoint of the extreme channel
Bid price is below the 50 period EMA
Position stop loss trails on ATR band

There are some shortcomings in the Parabolic SAR.
It traditionally used a fixed acceleration factor and didn't account for volatility, and this made it give bad signals in choppy markets. It also didn't care about price momentum, so it always had a signal while disregarding the fact that sometimes it's not good to trade.
I'm building a Custom SAR which is accelerating based on volatility (fully dynamic acceleration factor), and looking for valid momentum. If there is no valid momentum, the signal is removed on these bars.

How can we calculate the trend change on time from extreme pivots?
- Zigzag algo extended to find when the leg stops moving
- When the leg stops moving, the trend change is analysed from a non lagging moving average
- Now it is calculating only the moving average trend changes relating to pivots
- All other fleeting moving average trends are ignored
