@barbaros,

Before I show screenshots on how to use this .....Check This out. Notice the support and resistance lines and how they line up exactly at 0 and 100. ... this is ....:
"# Fractal Pivots with Trend Lines
# Mobius
# V01.08.2012....."

Added to the script. It shows exactly where you are coming from and where you are going. I have it only overlaid for now.....But might make a nice addition. What are your thoughts.

 
Great way to show zero and one hundred on the graph ....But make it the real support and resistance areas. Just thought it was supper cool and has plotted that way several times.

Unfortunately, I don't have that indicator. Can you share the code? I can see if we can add it and it can be scaled with with the rest of the indicators. Since we don't have a percentage y-axis, it might be difficult.
 
Posted with Mobius code inserted. wanted to make myself seem useful. I feel useless here ...with you guys doing so much work. One day I will be able to code...LOL....I will delete that post once you take a look at it.
 
The MACDBB cones right up to the pivot. ....The dots turn gray and then reversal time. All very visual. Might just have to overlay the lower study.
 
@Chuck @barbaros
Guys why not use first green dot as an entry and first red dot as an exit instead of other techniques. I mean just scan for green dots then get in? I'm trying to understand how to use this indicator best.
That is the first thing I notice is the dot color change. But I like the other confirming signals. I trade /ES and just getting in on the dot reverses sometimes. I like to be in a stronger confirmed position before entry. I don't care for the head or tail of the fish ....the middle taste the best.

Sorry bro. This is an upper study but we can change it to show the dots as arrows in the lower chart. However, this study is actually plotting at price axis, meaning the values are in dollars. If you are trading an equity that is around the same price as the BB plot values, then it may show, if not, like trading something like AMZN, will make the lower chart squished.

This would be interesting to use as the upper study with the Balanced BB Breakout study. I'm not familiar with it. How is it supposed to be used?
 
This piece of code.

Code:
   def hh = fold i = 1 to n + 1
            with p = 1
            while p
            do h > getValue(h, -i);

Notice the negative value in the second parameter to getValue(). It is looking ahead. So, when it plots, it is probably 2 bars late.

I'll watch it tomorrow to see if it can provide value to the lower study.

If Mobius coded it ...it was for a reason
 
BB Breakout
For those having trouble with the indicator showing correctly, where the lines and plots are all compressed along the bottom, try the suggestion @barbaros suggested. Uncheck the show plot for the teal data line and it fixes the issues. Not sure why, but it works! Thanks!!!
 
@Chuck or @barbaros, quick (stupid) question, any rhyme or reason for the differences in P/L with 15M T/F but diff Daily inputs? Is that just projected possible P/L?

Thanks


So the profit calculator uses the chart settings for 1st bar (first bar on chart example 1 day chart)to start the strategy and calculates P/L for the amount of trades for 1 day. If you select a two day chart it will go back 2 days and start at first bar etc.
