Whilst it's fine for people to point out new indicators that are out there, this does not help us in our quest for an automated strategy. If a poster on this thread links us to articles about new indicators advertised in trading magazines, then they are effectively saying "here guys - test this yourselves".
Before we plug anything in our strategy we need to know it works, we will not know that by reading a magazine article. We will only know by testing it out. Or by peoples experience of using the indicator. We need people doing that work as well as people like myself doing the coding work.
If not, the expectation must be that people can post an indicator here that they have never used, expect me or someone else to test it, put it into the program if it works and then deliver all the code back to them to make them $$$. I don't feel this is fair.
This thread is about using proven methods to develop an automated strategy, if people want to contribute new indicators and really make a difference, then they need to test out those indicators before posting them here.
I know this may come across as me being a bit crappy - but really, if people want to contribute, then test this stuff out before asking us to look at it. Don't expect others to test it out for you, it's just an indicator try it out in real time, look how it performs & then come back to this thread with the results.
Pedro01,
Seems like your post is very much aimed at myself. Now, I am not sure 'who' you are, you obviously have very good programming knowledge, and I acknowledge this. But, I don't take kindly to you ranting at me. You have appeared on this forum from nowhere, yes, you can code, but, have you ever contributed anything else about trading to anyone else on this forum ?
I have been around TT for a number of years now, and have traded with the man himself, Iraj, attended the seminars etc, and have tried to learn and tried to contribute where I can. In my post above, I was simply posting a reference to an article I had seen earlier. There are many others who are on TT who have contributed over the years, and in many different ways, other than programming. Take a look at the volume of posts sometime.
BTW, you asked the question, would I test, well, I never responded that I would'nt. I was going to follow up (Glenn in a later posting made some very valid points). You then posted again, your verbal rally. I spent many years in corporate life. I now work 'with' people, perhaps you should work on your people skills, as you seem very adept in the programming area.
