Can any traders out there help me observe the behavior of this indicator, and possibly create an EA if it has any true value?
The Predictive Price Indicator (PPI) uses the logic of fractional product inefficiency (FPI) to determine the target price to make an efficient market. If you are unfamiliar with FPI, you can read about it here. The indicator locates any 3 symbol rings that contain the symbol taken from the chart and calculates it's target price to make that ring efficient.
I had to code this as an EA because custom indicators will not allow you do use infinite loops, which are needed to keep the data refreshed. Make sure to compile this in the experts folder NOT the indicators folder!
I appreciate any feedback, and hope that this proves to be usefull. Nevertheless it is kind of fun to watch...

I have had some PM's regarding some troubleshooting and though I would post it here for everyone to benefit:

I put indicator in my eperts folder and run the ea but nothing happens. what am I missing..very interested in this concept. I understand it want work in the usual "indicator" folder.
one thing you will need to try is to right click on the "market watch" window where the quotes are and then select the option to "Show all". Sometimes the platform will not grab data for all the symbols necessary to operate this indicator, thus resulting in "zero divides".

Very fascinating write-up, is this used in live trading?
FPI? Absolutely. Big firms use it all the time to ARB the market. As far as the PPI indicator goes, it will be interesting to see if there are any paterns, but i know for sure if any pair is lagging in a news release this will show us immediately!

The colored lines are the new target prices based on the FPI concept. Since it is calulated from rings of three symbols only one of two things can happen. When the target price jumps away from the actual price either:
A) One of the two other pairs in the ring will adjust its price
B) The pair on the Chart will adjust its price
The more targets going in one direction the more likely it is that the pair on the chart will be the one to adjust.

i've put in on the eur/usd. which other currencies do the colored lines refer to?
also, comment says it found 5 matches.
The prices refer to the target price set by FPI for the given ring it is positioned in. The matches refer to how many matching rings (rings that contain chart currency).
Linear Mode
