OK so I've heard rumours that some hedge funds trade only with one special moving average of some sort.
I think it's possible, my hunch being that if you can find the right period of a simple adaptive moving average, then the reversals of the curve can be enough to trade profitably. The problem being finding that special period.
I've tried a lot of stuff with MAs. I actually got an engine that compute profit & drawdown automatically, based on close prices
do you think there is such an MA ? or am I completely mistaken...
So if you got any idea about an adaptive moving average, let me know and i'll program it.
the kind of logic that i'm asking :
If the high of the actual bar ISN'T the highest of the last 10 bars, then decrease MA period
if high[0] > high[1] then increase period
that kind of logic...
let's find the holy grail together !

A website in China: https://datacenter.jin10.com/banks_orders
There is an investment bank order column. (I don’t know if there is something similar on the English website)
A few years ago, I often paid attention to the orders of investment banks, and found that their orders were not smart. The stupidity that will basically be eliminated. It's weird.
I once doubted the authenticity of investment banks' orders, and suspected that their public orders were not consistent with real orders.
I find it interesting that you initiated this post. Let's look at investment banks and hedge funds, who is smart!
I paid attention to this Chinese website before. As long as I saw the investment bank placing an order, I immediately simulated (marked it) on MT4, MT5 and other Chinese software. As a result, I found that their orders were very few. Most orders will be stopped or cancelled by the investment bank.

3In China's Chinese-translated financial book, "Interpreting Quantitative Investment: The Story of Simmons Using a Formula to Beat the Market" says that Simmons is very powerful. I am not interested in studying this book seriously. I don’t know if anyone in the forum knows about Simmons.
There is this Simmons on Wikipedia (Chinese version). I don't know if he has any public theories and is programmed into a certain computer language (indicators, formulas, etc.). https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%A9%B9 ... 9%E6%96%AF

4i can the add on/off button to it............. if it is a main chart based!!!! code thx to kvak..........
Code: Select all
//template code
string GenerateIndicatorName(const string target)
{
string name = target;
int try = 2;
while (WindowFind(name) != -1)
{
name = target + " #" + IntegerToString(try++);
}
return name;
}
//template code

6I think that there are rumours that hedge funds, banks etc use algorithms because they have realized that they have the man power, the collective coding intelligence and the hardware to do it....ionone wrote: Sun Jul 18, 2021 11:19 pm OK so I've heard rumours that some hedge funds trade only with one special moving average of some sort.
For discretionary traders adaptive MAs of any sort can be helpful to enter in continuation trades, for example....
As for trend bias: adaptive MAs often obfuscate the overall trend direction because they follow price to closely...
As to the rest: an indicator that could draw the perfect trendline for each swing or trend move would solve prarctically all problems as it would indicate the perfect entry area for the cheapest price.
If you added to that a calculation of how far price moves away from the TL after each touch of the TL then you'd know exactly how strong the trend move is (momentum) at any given moment (before price returns to the mean).
That means you would know when price runs into resistance of any kind and - if no newer highs (in an uptrend) or lows (in a downtrend) are established - you could even anticipate a possible trend reversal (after a TL-break + when a new lower low is established in an uptrend; when a new higher high is established in a downtrend - what Adam Grimes in his book on trading called "the Anti").
But then again - who am I to know...

9How is that going to help? Didn't you want it to be a main chart (MA style) indicator so you can add a button?moey_dw wrote: Mon Jul 19, 2021 4:23 pm kk jimmy smarty pants.............. can u start us with filled ADX mountain thing???? llike background thats all i dunno i thinks adx is great to start to show volatiliy????
Anyway, try this and perhaps use the source code as a reference for filling other subwindow indicators.
