The Three Price-Proxy Systems Update

Posted on September 17th, 2009
Written by Richard

These three price-proxy systems continue to freaking dominate. It’s getting hard to remember that the real purpose is to watch the indicator. I think I’m going to have to code this for ninja so that I can try it on some replay data. It can’t always be this good… it just can’t.

The Three Systems Tuesday

Written by Richard

I’m a bit busy today, so here are the system screenshots from Tuesday without much commentary.  I’ll post the Wednesday ones ASAP.  It’s hard sometimes, as I have so many ideas for posts and articles, and yet all of my time is currently soaked up in eotpro initiatives.  We are now an Industry Partner of [...]

The Three Price-Proxy Systems on Monday

Written by Richard

Here’s how we did today.
Note: as I mentioned in the comments, these are just concepts to keep things interesting while we watch the proxy and look for strengths and weaknesses. I don’t trade these systems, and I haven’t done any backtesting.
The rules for these ideas are in this post, so if you’re new [...]

Here are the three systems I mentioned in my last post on today’s data.  Click to enlarge, as always:

System one did well again.  No losing trades that I can see, though you can see that sometimes you have to sit through a lot of heat.

System two ddn’t have many trades today… the last trade [...]

Three Systems I’m Looking At

Posted on September 10th, 2009
Written by Richard

Today at our eotpro indicator lesson school, I showed three ideas built around the new price proxy indicator.  These were the three ideas I had that looked the best to me over the last couple days.  It’s just a start down a long research road ahead of us with the proxy indicator.  Yet, on these [...]

Fisher-Transformed CCI Investigation

Posted on August 6th, 2009
Written by Richard

I really liked Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures, by John Ehlers. But, I gotta say, Chapter One on the Fisher Transform left me a little flat. It starts out focusing on the CCI, even saying that “the CCI can be improved substantially through the use of the Fisher transform.” However, the [...]

Alla’s Average v3

Written by Richard

This video goes over the more adaptive, more cautious, Alla’s Average v3. This is part of our big push at eotpro to eliminate as many user inputs from our indicators as possible. You’ve complained about all of the confusing options, and we’re listening.

You can see that by adjusting its average depth, the [...]

Potential Input-Free Arrows

Posted on July 6th, 2009
Written by Richard

I’m playing with new versions of our eotpro suite of indicators. These are, for the most part, self-adjusting. In fact, right now, the new arrows don’t have any inputs except for controlling the size and color of the output!
We know lots of folks have had trouble setting up some of our [...]

This is a simple application of the “Almost Perfect” technical indicator concept. Did you know that if you have a perfect lagless average, you can use a simple trading method to nail profit targets on every single move?
Every. Single. Move.
Here’s how: Take a pretty smooth average… the literature says it needs to match [...]

An Example of an “Almost Perfect” ES E-Mini’s Chart

Posted on April 29th, 2009
Written by Richard

In my recent post, I went over the concept of the “Almost Perfect” technical indicator. Since then, I’ve made some tweaks to the way predicted points are computed. Check out this chart:

Wow! On this chart are “almost perfect” bollinger bands, then in the first subgraph is an “almost perfect” MACD. [...]
