Merlin, although the appearance of your indicators look great on the chart, it’s trading on the right hand side of the chart that is most important. Can I suggest you write your exact entry and exit rules out on paper and implement those rules 100% of the time. You might find this will allow you to focus on the absolute specifics and might help you nail down a system that works in real time.

When I have a free moment tomorrow I will try and post an image of what my system looks like (as it looks something similar to yours) but with firm rules, I am able to trade the system with confidence as I’ve done extensive back testing that has supported the underlying idea and theory.

All the best with your journey.

I will but right now, I don't have any. One thing at a time shall we...

Step 1: Convert this EasyLanguage 2 clouds indicator into C#

Step 2: Create a mastermind of traders/programmers to discuss entry strategies around the indicator.

Then and ONLY THEN, we will be able to define the rules or entry and exit but we are not there yet.

It's coming soon though.

There is a HUUUUUUUUGE difference between learning from a tip or two from you and being told to sit there, shut up and listen and being brainwashed by things that I've heard 100 times in my past 14, then again 15 years because I started learning about Futures in 2004.

Right now, I need programming help to convert my code and then I will need help to find the best entry points and that's about it. I don't need anything else.

I never told you to sit still. I told you to clean the trash out of your head. You need programming help? Learn to program yourself. How can you expect a programmer to interpret your ideas when they're obviously complex and out of the norm?
The only person who can do that is YOU.

When I was on TS I developed a program in EL which was essentially a template in a "fill in the blanks" format for strategy development. I don't know if EL has changed that much in the intervening years, but at the time a lot of people liked it. There were a few others as well. If you would clear the sh&***(((t out of your head and just do it yourself, your results might be a lot more interesting.

I don't have any trash in my head, YOU say I do because I don't want to sit and listen to your. Sorry, it won't happen.

That's what I did with EasyLanguage, I bought some books and learned it. How do you think I created this indicator? Yes I got help at the beginning for my Squared MA but after that, it's all MY CODE.

However C# is on another planet for me. I can't do it and with the help of a few programmers interested, I will send them my code and save months of learning C#.

Let's see how many things you change and list as reasons/excuses things didn't work, but you fixed by changing something etc, between now and whenever you stop posting.

I mention this because I am a trader and I know patterns when I see them...

I also live posted every trade I took for months with cash, brokerage statements, etc and unlike you trading from a position of fear of loss due to undercapitalization, I had days that were +/- ~50k or so. All live posted traded with cash. And in my journal. Of course you'd have to pony up to our worthless "club" to have access to the Elite content.

Anyway, I'm done now. I'm not in a good mood, my dog is seriously sick and having major surgery, and I'm getting upset trying to convince you to stop wasting your time with the direction your going. I shouldn't keep posting when having this poor attitude, because it's not representative of our community so a whole, we all try hard here to actually help people.

Just remember, we all grow up. We all start from somewhere. Most of us as kids didn't like to take their medicine or eat their veggies. Yuck. You have this problem, you don't want to take your medicine. You'll get sick, and hopefully recover.

Most of us here trying to help you (still!!) - it's not to prove you wrong. It's to help you save time, money, and get educated by sharing what is already known.

So don't use C++. TS has a complete library of math functions. It's an object-oriented language. You shouldn't need a programmer for this. I looked at your charts. Chances are I could reverse engineer what you're doing in an hour.

You're making a huge mistake by not doing this yourself. How does a child learn a language? Repeating what they hear and then transcribing it in their brain. And voila - they can speak. Think about it.

I risk 5 ticks to make "50 ticks" or 5 points, not "5 ticks". It's a 10:1 ratio game here. If you want to play super conservative, you can even get in only at those multiple double top/bottom that you see everywhere in the Renko charts.

You place your limit order at the top and then your stop loss just 1-2 ticks above your entry so if it doesn't do a double top/bottom, you lose peanuts but again, you will be surprised as to how many of those double top/bottom you will find in this type of chart especially if you have 0.3 pt Renko charts (see green rectangles in screenshot below).

Interesting and thanks for the clarification.

My constructive input would be to ensure you have very fixed rules for entry. It appears, based on what you've shared so far (but of course I could be wrong), that you may not be taking every signal or entering some with discretion.

I will eagerly await your testing results!
