I started learning C programming in 2010. From there I picked up many languages.
I have worked with MQL for just a year now. I pick up programming languages very quickly because I'm no stranger to programming.
I'm working on several indicator projects and EA concepts.

I'm currently studying epistemological degeneracy in financial markets.

If anyone finds prev_calculated confusing (like I initially did) in MQL5, have a look at this blog post https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/post/760917

Now have this idea rattling in my mind for a zigzag that forecasts the next leg. Also a grey color that the leg changes to when it's deemed that no valid forecast can be made (during a consolidation period for example)

interesting , im also building this

Conor Mcnamara 2025.03.04
that's nice to know, I guess it could be built in many different ways, it could be more reactive to the price (maybe based on a quant indicator), or it could be more about predictive techniques

If gold starts rallying now, it could be a great buying opportunity. It looks like a support is found on the H1 timeframe, but doji candles suggests indecision, and the trend is uncertain.

If it's hard to see the market sentiment, it's good to use these bears and bulls power indicators and color the histograms this way

If you have a trading system, and you know that the entries corresponding with the system are good, then a tight stop loss or a tight trailing stop is *not* a good idea. If the entries are good, then you should have at least a wide stop loss. Predictable stop losses are being hunted by institutional traders and hedge funds to force retail traders out.

Yes tight stop loss is not something ever worked for me. But I would say we should not focus on stop hunting when it comes to designing a strategy. All you can do and will do is putting your SL where the backtests end up in consistent profitability.
Conor Mcnamara
Conor Mcnamara 2025.02.27
true, it depends on how precise the entries are, some strategies might use an entry based on tick trend and in that case a tight stop might be part of the system. Most entries based on normal signal indicators can get stopped out easily though

It would be nice to see crypto rallying again, but now it's worrying as Bitcoin is testing the 200 day moving average on D1 timeframe

I think the 4 year cycles are over , it will pick up again and also there may be another meme run during summer.

It should definitely be bullish at some point this year. Next year might be a true bearish market (at least it's expected to be that way)

Today was very uneventful in Gold for new trades. It looked like a lot of profit-taking was going on as it's near the record highs and the weak US data has people concerned. I wasn't looking at the M5 timeframe, but it seemed like that's where the intraday trend was. It wasn't possible to hold anything

Me too. Too few trades this week. Only a buy the dip in stocks yesterday and that is all.

It's possible to protect your initial deposit with code..as live equity can be monitored, so when you compare the equity to balance, you can "save" your initial deposite from a disaster. It's very simple code

swing trades on the EA (visual backtest)
Conor Mcnamara
Conor Mcnamara 2025.02.21
yes just simply based on bar confirmation, I constantly track the index of the zigzag buffer, then I use 2 or 3 bars of confirmation to confirm that the leg stopped it's continuation
Lorentzos Roussos

You could measure that in theory, in my zigzag i track changes of the leg , i'll add this too as "delays" and "max delay" looks interesting .

I recently launched a signal which is based on algo trading with zigzag. It is known that the zigzag isn't a signal indicator, it's mostly for swing analysis and wave theory, but it can be combined with quantitative indicators or fib retracement levels, or other drawings and filters to give signals. In the EA I built, I extended the algo so that it finds out when the leg stops moving. When this happens, it could mean a support or resistance is found, and a signal is produced on this event way before the opposite leg comes, therefore giving "timeliness" to the zigzag. I also introduced an MA into the core logic so that the MA filters the swings and aids the algo so that it will prevent premature swings. I don't know how successful this will be as a fully automated EA, so let's not expect miracles. Eventually I can make it available to download if it's not overly risky. I'm dedicated to building trading software which is profitable and not destructive.

John Ehlers is a technical analyst and engineer with a vast knowledge in digital signal processing. He understood the filters, and was able to build a cleaner, non-lagging moving average by borrowing formulas from Electrical Engineering. His formula involved giving a lower weight to older values and using a recursive calculation to make everything faster and more efficient. This is an illustration between a basic moving average and Ehlers three pole super smoother (both on period 18).

The zigzag and donchian channel are examples of qualitative indicators as they rely fully on the price action to give you a result. This can change if you combine both worlds of mathematical trend indicators and qualitative indicators. I find that a smoothed moving average can be effective to prevent false signals from the zigzag and "pend" the swing so that you don't get a swing forming too early

I don't offer services such as creation of an entire indicator or EA, I do this only within the dev team if I/we agree on it. I do not have that much time.
