@TMFT - What indicator are you using to color the bars? I tried both your EmaMulti21ByThatManFromTexas and EmaMulti21A (which offers a selectable bar coloring option), but neither indicator colors the bars. Thanks.

@hunter548

Import the attached EmaMult21ByThatManFromTexasV2.zip

The indicator will be EmaMult21ByThatManFromTexasV2.cs

I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.

Here's another way I try to predict chop using the same 20, 50, 200 EMA's. When price starts trading between the 50EMA and the 200EMA while these are converging towards each other in a wedge, once price starts trading inside that 50/200 EMA wedge, most likely it's gonna bounce for a while inside that wedge. I generally stay out, and wait for a break either way. Here's an example that just happened a few minutes ago. 200EMA is thick brown, 50EMA is black.

Monpere - I noticed in your screenshot above you are using custom bars called "JPMrenko". Can you tell me where I can find the code, or can you send it to me? I searched the site and couldn't find anything.

Thank you!
Fred

You have to get this bar type from the author, futures.io (formerly BMT) user @TimeTrade

There is one japanese indicator which shows you chop chop:
It is the Ichimoku "Cloud".
Like a pilot's adventure when flying "at sight" -
you are flying into a cloud..
as long as you are flying without sight you are not aware of any
direction - maybe you get out above? or you are getting
out underneath the cloud - you are totally unaware of
any sure movement you are thinking of or feeling.
So - to make it short - to avoid chop chop in any chart -
avoid to take a trade when price is within a daily or a
60min cloud.. that taken prevents your capital!
For sure.

TMNT, where can I find the the custom OOD, HOD, LOD displayed in the taskbar for Ninja? I've searched the forum but can't seem to find it. Is it available to the public?

@lov2rev

The World according to ThatManFromTexas ....

1. You can not predict chop.

2. You will know you are in chop after you have a couple of losing trades.

3. When you realize you are in chop ... stop .

4. You will know you are out of chop when you miss the breakout.

5. Most chop filters filter out as many good trades as they do bad trades.

6. Learn to watch for price compression / decompression

@dakine

Two 21 period EMA Bollinger bands , one set at 1 Standard Deviation and the other set at 2 deviations

ThatManFromTexas, with 2 Bollinger Bands, how to have the cloud in the middle Bollinger Band like your chart? Can I have a template of your chart?

Thanks
