Thanks again hen322!

"Thank" my post bro
I'm glad you are staying with it!
I think that's another general truth about trading, is that you do best when you do it alone, as in having no distractions, which includes the negative opinions of others or their 2 cents.

More Thoughts About BloodHound

Sometimes the values in the solvers gets a little confusing, but so far, this is what I found out.

"In the Indicator Comparison, under INPUT section, if you select Price, the Lookback Period option uses (1) for the current bar, whereas if you use an indicator as an INPUT, it's Displacement option is 0 for the current bar. Try to not get confused...I did for a little bit, all these 0s and 1s spends my head around like you wouldn't believe.

Their "Signal Extender" will start counting the next bar as the first bar, right after the first signal, and not the first signal as the first bar."

It takes alot of studying to learn bloodhound, but it is alot faster than learning how to code in C#.
I am putting in the work.

I've been getting use to testing in the logic board by connecting each node straight to the result node to see the signal output on the chart, and troubleshoot that way. By the time I look at the clock, 2 hours pass by, and time flies by so fast when you are having... doing this.

The videos and documentations are fantastic, it just takes alot of time. But BloodHound is the type of software that I've been wishing for, ever since I started chart trading futures.

I want to focus exclusively on bloodhound so I can learn it faster, but at the same time, I'm focusing on orderflow scalping. I'm trying to study both, and it's alot of work. But I want it, I have the desire and passion for it, so I'm going to push for it.

So far, I've been implementing the siChameleon indicator into my Bull Flag Strategy, to get more signals and opportunities, but the ES is starting to get choppier than before, so the strategy isn't producing profit as much as last week.

I watched another video about the Support and Resistance Solvers. I'm going to try to implement that into my strategy. But the videos that use the renko bars is catching my interest too. So I'm going to look into that.

I wish @SharkIndicators could condense their videos more. That would speed up the learning process.

BloodHound Webinar Today and Mean Reversion Video

I attended the webinar this morning. It was a good turn out of people, but after the instructor finished creating a system that someone requested, no one had any questions except me. I think I know why.

Let me tell you something about learning this kind of software....
You can't just sit there and just listen. Your mind will wonder off, or it would be too difficult to follow along and get lost. What you need to do is create the system with the instructor. Why? Because....
1. It will help you follow along...even if you don't know what the values mean or what you are changing. Doing it with them helps keep your mind locked in to what the instructor is showing on the screen.
2. The more you get involved in some way, such as clicking, typing, and copying the instructors screen will help you remember.

During the webinar, I learned more nodes that he used, which was the signal blocker and the toggle nodes.

Later on, I watched the "BloodHound Workshop-Mean Reversion System."
That was over 2 hours long. Most of it was a bunch of talking at the beginning and at the end of the video. I think I'll create a shorter video tomorrow and see if it is more helpful for some.
I'll also cover what the video showed on how to begin with the solver tab to quickly create your strategy, and then use the logic board to fine tune it.
It also showed how to use the "Indicator Threshold" and explained what the "Ratio" node is used for. You will also learn and understand that BloodHound begins with returning the signal that's 80% close to the targeted level. Meaning, if you think that your signal is given once it reaches the level you decide, the signal will actually be given once it reaches 80% of the way there. So in other words, the signal will be given once it is 20% before the target. I'll show you how to change the option to 100%, which will give the signal once it reaches exactly there.

I think I'll create a 10-15 minute video so that way you wouldn't have to sit through @SharkIndicators 2 hour one.

BloodHound Webinar Today and Mean Reversion Video I think I'll create a 10-15 minute video so that way you wouldn't have to sit through @SharkIndicators 2 hour one.

That would be great, hen322. I for one find their videos not very organized (currently organized according to the date presented). I think they should group it according how functionalities are used or according to the indicators, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Concise Version of "BloodHound Workshop-Mean Reversion System."

After taking all 4 of BloodHound's introductory videos, two Thursday webinars, and two workshop videos, I feel competent enough to use this software very effectively. I am not trying to boast about this, but to share some sort of a benchmark for the time it took a person like me, who had no idea of how it worked.

Before watching the video, please setup your charts according to the following....

Indicators:
EMA(8) on the 421 tick chart (main)
EMA(18) on the 1350 tick chart.
Stochastics (both) use only K line. High 85, Low 15.
Bollinger on both (with default settings).

List of Conditions for the Signals.
Short Entry: (long entry will have the same rules).
1. Price is above the EMA(8) on the 421, and
2. Price is above the EMA (18) on 1350, and
3. Both stochastics are above 85 and
4. Both stochastics are descending (or beginning to descend) and
5. Price is above the upper bollinger band.

By the end of the video, not only will you know how to create your own strategy, but also grasp a bigger understanding of how the software works.

Thanks again, SharkIndicators, for creating BloodHound!

A special thanks to all who have thanked my posts in this journal! Without them, I wouldn't have had the motivation to make this video.

Before, I didn't know how the Ratio Nodes worked. I introduced it in my last video, but didn't quite know how to adjust it properly. I came across their video on it. It is found in the link below.

Complete List of Videos

Agreed. Their YouTube Channel BloodHound Workshops section needs more work. Their "BloodHound Getting Started Guide" webpage in their website seems to be as organized as they could get so far. I made a list of all the videos they have that is currently available. With this list, I can quickly scan all the videos available instead of browsing from webpage to webpage. Use the ctrl+f (find function) to search for the videos of interest, then do a manual search in their YouTube or website, to get the video.

Hi @hen322

You have done a great job so far on commenting about your BH learning experience. Thanks for that since i just begun last week to study it. Do you know if there are solvers to identify swings high/low to identify the characteristics of the leg formed between a prior swing low (HL) and the current swing high (HH) for an ascending trend. The goal would be to go long if the leg is within a certain range and price pulls back a certain percentage of the leg with target beeing a certain percentage above the current leg.

* HL = Higher Low
* HH = Higher High

EDIT: I found this info which may provide some clues about what i'd like to develop.

@hen322

You have done a colossal job of documenting your journey with BloodHound and providing another prospective on its workings. Here's hoping you have won this month's contest !!

I was thinking of the same solver "Dorschden Swing Trend" from your link. I don't know if there is a percentage option for the leg within the range, but I'll let you know what I find. I'll get back to you in a couple days. Thanks @trendisyourfriend and @dwt51 for the compliments!
