Thread: Subthread: Dolly 2nd Clone Project

NOTE!!! THIS POST ALWAYS UPDATE TO THE LATEST (16 April 07)
Project start : 14 Dec 06


Background :
Based on first dolly , the alternate version based on daily pivot has been made with the same name "DOLLY"
After doing forward testing, sometimes we found the new day signal began inside the buy / sell area, which made us to postpone our trade until the next day.This usually happened on the day where the currency showed a big movement.
To solve this problem, cja has made the new Dolly based on daily open pivot, The new signal began on the pivot point for every opening day.
A question rised whether this new Dolly as accurate as the previous Dolly since it now gives a significant difference


The purpose:
Here we will work together to improve the new Dolly (a.k.a Dolly 2nd clone) to its fullest. Everybody is free to do forward test, modify or alter for the sake of improvement.
Day by day, this chart's getting even better , and the price?? It's FREE of charge, only we require your contribution for this project.
thanks a lot for all the help! Guys, you all are the MAN!!

UPDATE 11 April12
I put another attachemnent, the dolly ver 13.
thanks cja

your graph should be looked like this

ANCOLL Good idea to start a new thread, this way we can evaluate the 2 indicators without confusing the results. This has the potential to capture those bigger moves using the Daily average levels, i guess we shall see as time goes on.

One thing to be aware of is the Pivot is a major support resistance point so if the Pivot is above or below a trading range or near to a TP area be aware price may reverse or bounce, like the MM 4/8 centre level price will usually bounce the 1st time

10/01/2007


H4 turning South and below the zero level, histogram showing upward move has lost strength, H1 turning North but still below the zero level so still has a slight downward pressure, M15 turning looking like it may turn South, histogram showing upward strength is starting to wane, still below the zero level so slight downward bias at present, M5 has been largely below the zero level and is turning South at present but mainly has gone flat. Watch the H1 as the European session opens

Looks like we may have a small run up to around H1 4/8 MM level of 1.9409 & M15 7/8 MM level of 1.9402 while the H1 settles, before price continues South. 1.9348 (MM H1 2/8) & 1.9318 (MM H1 1/8) with 1.9287 (MM H1 0/8)as possible lower target

Bias still downward medium term


Things to consider with G#MACD

NEVER Trade against the H1

Look for a steep angle and good separation on the lines - the best moves are when the lines go through the zero level at a steep angle

The histogram gives an early warning of direction and strength

Look for DIVERGENCE on the higher timeframes

If H1 & H4 are turned in the same direction then moves of 120 to 200 plus are on with the GBP

If H1 & H4 are against each other then moves of 80 to 100 pips for the GBP

M15 shows the medium moves

M5 and M1 are used to fine tune the entries, wait for the M5 to just turn if possible confirmed with a slightly previous M1 turn in the same direction this way even if you are wrong generally you will get out of the trade with a small loss or a small profit. M5 moves can show anything from 10 pips to 60 pips or more depending on the day.

Below the zero level is downward pressure and above the zero level is upward pressure

If the M15 is on the zero level and almost parallel to it usually the H1 is fairly flat as well this means the market has no real direction DO NOT TRADE.However the longer this situation continues generally the larger and more explosive the move when it comes - this is a situation often seen on the trading day just before NFP is posted.

The M15 G#MACD moves back to the zero level after a large move, this is NEUTRALISATION and not a directional indication or DIVERGENCE it is merely the indicator resetting - After it reaches the zero level then what happens is important.

UPDATE 16/03/2007 This is the new Dolly #11 with GMT Shift, Pop-up Alerts & an Auto Display option on trading levels instead of Comments. All options are in the inputs tab of the indicator.

A Special thanks to FiFtHeLeMeNt for the GMT code.

I have removed Dolly_Graphics_v11-GMTShift as the latest version has all the same code as this indicator plus email Alert functions. See Dolly Graphics_v11-GMT-Email further down this page.

UPDATE 03/04/2007

Dolly_Graphics_v11-GMT-Email - After many requests for Dolly to have an email function here it is.

IMPORTANT;
Make sure you have enabled the email function on your MT4 platform, Select Tools/Options/Email & tick Enable - click OK - click on Test to make sure it is working and sending mail.

NEXT;
Set your own email to up date incoming mail as frequently as you can (1 Minute updates works fine ) It is no good having a 10 min check for mail setting as the email may arrive too late.

Dolly has 3 email functions :

EmailON true/false - This email function sends an email every minute that the Price is within 5 pips of a Target area, (Let me know if 5 pips is too much or not enough leadin for the Price )

Email_DATA true/false - This sends an email with all the Dolly Levels for the current day. This sends 1 email at a selected time.

DATA_EmailTime - This is where you put in the Time you want the DATA to be sent by email
NOTE; The time is Broker Time not your local Time.

07/07/2007

I have updated Dolly Graphics_v11-GMT-Email to resolve the occasional problem of the pivot or open level not updating when the new day starts, the indicator name remains unchanged so just resave over the top of the original indicator to update the code.

07/10/2007
Code update to Dolly Graphics_v11-GMT-Email to fix issue with change numbers ( Distance from OPEN/PIVOT ), GMT value added to this feature.

Dolly Graphics_v11-GMT-Email.mq4

Listed here are the changes

Dolly Graphics #12 - updates to code by cja.

NOTE : Dolly Graphics # 12 has all the email and GMT features of Dolly Graphics_v11-GMT-Email

Dolly 0% & 100% Fibo Lines

** This technic will give you 99.9% performance & low risk

To set pending order (normally i'm waiting graph start 'NEW DAY' (6AM - Malaysian time)

BUY
1) Place Buy Stop @ Fibo 100% + 2 pip + Pair Spread
2) SET TP @ 5-10 pip or 0.000 (use trailing for better result)
3) SET SL @ 100% price - 20-30 pip


SELL
1) Place Red Stop @ Fibo 0% - 2 pip - Pair Spread
2) SET TP @ 5-10 pip or 0.000 (use trailing for better result)
3) SET SL @ 0% price + 20-30 pip

* Note:
- Apply both BUY & SELL (usually i place pending order both for all major pair)
- Some Broker min TP is 10 pip


Example Result:

EUR/USD 100% BUY: 10 pip
or
EUR/USD 0% SELL: 10 pip

Now we get 10 pip x 4 major pair = 40 pip


Little Tips Using

PAIR: EUR/USD, USD/CHF, GBP/USD & USD/JPY (other pair not test yet)

To set pending order (normally i'm waiting graph start new day (6AM - Malaysian time)

BUY
1) GMACD - main trend H4 & D1 (for Major Trend) - GREEN color (Up Trend)
2) Guppy Line - Make sure the Yellow,Gold,Orange,Red Below Open Price
3) Set 'BUY LIMIT' @ (SELL STOP-1 Price) - 5 pip
4) Set 'TP' @ 30-60 pip or (BUY STOP-1 Price) or (BUY STOP-1 TP)
5) Set 'S/L' @ (SELL STOP-1 TP) - Spread.


SELL
1) GMACD - main trend H4 & D1 (for Major Trend) - RED color (Down Trend)
2) Guppy Line - Make sure the Yellow,Gold,Orange,Red Above Open Price
3) Set 'SELL LIMIT' @ (BUY STOP-1 Price) + 5 pip
4) Set 'TP' @ 30-60 pip or (SELL STOP-1 Price) or (SELL STOP-1 TP)
5) Set 'S/L' @ (BUY STOP-1 TP) + Spread.

Why use BUY/SELL limit instead of BUY/SELL stop?
1) We can get 65 pip instead only 20 pip during trend correction or we will hit order during trend correction and loss it when correction end.
2) Less stop loss @ below 20 pip (after minus/plus spread) instead of 40 pip

*Note:
- Sometime trend correction will hit this SL tips for GBP/USD. Usually I don't put SL (not recommend). Please refer G#MACD H1 for trend confirmation.
- I don't recommend this tips for newbie and trend correction does't always happen. (you has been warn!)

use the same system with Brain Trend system.
You may use with the conjunction of Dolly 2nd clone

Maybe you could add the new v10 EA here to for us newbies since we are not good at deciding the best time to trade We'll I know I'm not good at it.

ONE BIG proposal!

I wonder if that would be possible to make a little modification as to order description with SL first and TP the second.

Now it is quite opposite. It seems to be confusing to me while entering an order - in the window it is coming in reverse order. What do you think guys?

And second question:

Exist any howto - for trade dolly? I like read howto...

#Who edit my post !!!!! # NOTE !!! CLONE PROJECT 2ND UPDATE TO the lates BY SOME ONE ELSES.... !!! SSSOOO.........

Modify version with reverse SL and TP, MM lines, Trading hour.
