This is fantastic. Has anyone tried writing an afl for Amibroker, using these details for the Squeeze, and if so, can the afl be shared?

I’d be interested in hearing more about your automated trading opinions. I read your creation of the system just last night, and found it interesting. Now you feel that it won’t work consistently. Would you mind elaborating (or perhaps point me to some posts where you’ve already detailed your experiences)?

thanks,
brian

No easy way to convert from tradestation to quotetracker.

I am no longer using the automated trading system because, in my opinion, it will not work consistently.

you can trade whatever you want. Some people are better with stocks and options vs. index futures and vice versa. The important thing is that you figure out what you’re best at, then go with it…

I like the TTM squeeze indicator,

but i am still not sure which indicator is the safest for day trading.
another one that is promissing is ths scalper buys and sell indicator:
http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/scalper-buys-sell-replica-2124.html

is there an easy way to convert the tradestation source code to quotetracker format?

btw do you use automated trading yourself and if yes what indicator and instrument can you recommend in these volatile markets?

is it wise to trade just the major indices or better to look for stocks/options that outperform the indices in the morning so that in the afternoon a move in the market will cause more movement on the instrument that outperforms the most?

cheers
peter

Thanks for TTM Squeeze instruction. I was reading “Mastering the Trade” by John carter and I am trying to create Paintbar according to Scalper Buy and Sell page 165.

I have been using this style of buy and sell for YM with some success. I don’t trade first 60 minutes from 9.30 to 10.30, I observe which way the market is trading and I use 5 minute and 144 tick chart. I average out 12bars of 5 minutes to give me the average range and half the range as a target.

Example if the average 5 min range of first 60 minutes is 12 ym points then my sell target is 6 point ( half of 12)and 12 +1 =13 point is my stop.

After 10.30 if the market is trending on the upside then I wait till the price action of 5 min bar stops going up and start to go down. I draw line at the top of the highest bar and I draw line at the lowest value of 2nd -5minute bar on the left of the highest bar. If the price drops below the bottom line then I short or if the top line is violated then I go long.

I like to automate is style of trading but am not very technically inclined. If you can teach me how I can create Paintbar according to this strategy and how I can automate my trading rather than watching YM chart from 9 am – 4 pm.

Thanks for your help

Jay

Here’s coding of TTM paintbar setup I found on some forums before, tried
entering it in comments section but it gets jumbled up..

if ((MACD(12,69,9) + Momentum(12))/2 >= 0) set color to lime
if ((MACD(12,69,0) + Momentum(12))/2 < = 0) set color to red
if Bollinger Bands(20,2).Lower>Keltner Bands(20,1.5).Lower set color to yellow
if Bollinger Bands(20,2).upper

this way you get yellow bars signalling entering a squeeze, and green or red bar signalling going out of a
squeeze..settings of the triggers probably need a bit more tweaking
though..
