PincherPlay tripped another signal at 7pm ET 2/28/16. Entry Long at open 8pm ET. Stopped out. So far, 2 sigs, 2 stops hit. Total loss = 8.2 pts. (I'm not accounting for spreads or fees). One more of these and I'll give myself the poop-bag award. But I won't stop running this algo because I believe in the long term, it makes money.by baffled1 - Trading Discussion

linter, nice picture. The signal fires and then enter Long on next bar (if signal holds). I haven't yet figured out when this algo signals a short, so for now is only Long. Oh- sorry- now I get your question. You mean the red in the algo plot. The algo has two plots. In your pic, red and light blue. Those plots are actually looking FORWARD to the next bar. The red calculates open-low and your liby baffled1 - Trading Discussion
Boo-hoo! PincherPlay algo busted on first trade. Entry 2/25/16 at 12n ET, by rule Stoploss from entry was 4.1 pts. Full drop of that hour was 4.7 pts from open- dang it! IF IF IF ONLY I'd made the stop 5.0 pts we'd still be in the trade and sitting on 12 full pts by now. But that's what rules a for. Changing them too often is a bad idea. Live with it and better luck next time!by baffled1 - Trading Discussion
While we await the first PincherPlay Hourly signal on /ES, I want to say this thread is not just to teach “newbies”, but for anyone who wants to make a change. I don't claim to be a super-expert on any trading- just judge by what you see. To build a new system, by definition you have to hunt the holy grail.

Just realized I don't have to "timely" post my trades on the PincherPlay code triggers, since the rules are posted. So anybody watching can see what happened. I'll follow up when I see it.by baffled1 - Trading Discussion

I don't like Daily charts because of drawdowns. But if you're running the code above, you saw we just popped a signal. Market re-opens in a couple minutes at 5pm ET. Be careful. I haven't yet fully analyzed this for Daily. Offhand, I "think" a 10-pt stoploss and a 20-pt take-profit will work but needs more analysis. Good luck! Still waiting for an Hourly signal.

MAKE THE CALL! Nothing in this thread should be considered trading advice- do your own due diligence. Time to put some stick about. Philosophy is nice. But it never made me a dime.

Up to a point, I agree with RichieRick that for most people, chat or RTT might be a bad idea, especially if they don't have clearly-defined opinions or skills of their own. BUT, for traders who are not so easily influenced, those tools can be helpful because it can sharpen their trading decision. Bughatti, I gather, is an experienced /ES trader, so RTT might be a benefit. Personally, in short TFsby baffled1 - Trading Discussion
Tanman, thanks for Wendy Kirkland idea. Yes, I just watched /ES awhile on 5m and is tricky to use that earlier algo. bughatti, I was able to cure the problem as I mentioned and as Tanman described, but with a couple of sacrifices, as well as a couple of benefits. You can do as before- tack this code onto the bottom of the RSI code (reset RSI to 2-70-30 as before). Crosses, in my opinion, are notby baffled1 - Trading Discussion
