Hi

 


Inputs:
Period(5);

vars:
MidLine(0),UpperBand(0),LowerBand(0);

UpperBand=Average(Highest(High,Period),Period);
LowerBand=Average(Lowest(Low,Period),Period);
MidLine=(UpperBand+LowerBand)/2;

Plot1(MidLine,"MidLine");
if MidLine >= MidLine[1] then setplotcolor(1,Cyan) else setplotcolor(1,red);

Plot2(UpperBand,"UpperBand",LightGray);
Plot3(LowerBand,"LowerBand",DarkGray);

Look and works like junk tried on my Hotforex platform and once again got a proof that there is no better than simple but effective price action.

 

Some end of year thoughts on trading using priceseries *

 

Consciously, ‘PAv’ traders are categorically NOT able to trade with oscillators (/ indicators). (Note that ‘consciously’ part - because unconsciously every single one of them is creating and using ‘indicators’ in the background.)

 

Real oscillators traders can categorically NOT (consciously) trade with PA. (Note that ‘consciously’ part - because unconsciously every single one of them is attempting to process PA on the fly.)

 

Point is - Both modes are always going / functioning.

 

“Find your own way” zdo. Find out which one you are best suited for, make that one dominant and develop it that fully... Let the other one be recessive.

 

If you’re a PA trader, don’t fool yourself into total rejection of oscillators. And by the same token, if you’re an oscillators trader, don’t be swayed by the preaching of PA traders to completely exclude oscillators trading. Find out which one you are best suited for, develop that fully... and then you might be free to consciously include and accommodate certain aspects from the other one.

 

...

 

PA traders do notice and repeatedly announce an important ‘weakness’ of indicators. Stock indicators don’t ‘work’. :rofl:

Yep, statistically out the box at best they produce ( with ‘costs, a slightly negative) wash... ie the ‘sample runs’ where they outperform do not offset the ‘sample runs’ where they underperform, etc. **

...

 

The key word here is “stock”.

 

There are (only?) three ways to overcome this weakness of stock indicators.

1 ‘Skew’ the indicator calculations to match the ‘slope’ (and travel, etc) of the auctions.

2 Learn to ‘wetware skew’ the reading of the indicator to match the ‘slope’ (etc) of the auctions.

3 Type the auctions to know when and when NOT to apply an indicator

 

ie You got to know when and how to "harm squiggly lines" (sorry TRO for appropriating your apt phrase... :) )

 

 

Wishing all ya'll wonderful holidays and a happy solstice in exactly one minute !!!!

 

 

zdo

 

 

 

*instead of non price / fundamental / narrative information

 

**:haha: Unfortunately, PA traders can't go about as readily acknowledging the equivalent real world statistics of 'out the box' PA... ie don't get it that both modes are always going / functioning.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC. But in the quiet build-up— before the surface breaks.   Enter the Blue Button Please read more here: https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/netflix-amazon-bitcoin-blue  Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ 
    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
