Hi Roger. I am M from Toronto Canada. I have been reading your site recently and some of the concepts you have coded are very similar to my own thinking. Very interesting stuff – I can see a lot of hard work has gone into it. I might be interested in the Mach Trend, but before I consider committing the $995, I was wondering if you could plug the indicator into some of my own data. This to help me see how it works with data I most frequently use. Data is the “CGB” ( Canada Bond Future) daily – and I created a .csv file via from TS 2000i ( Yes! I still use this), at the link below. If you are able to give me a screen shot of the mach trend on the CGB series - with whatever settings you decide on – that would help me greatly to make my decision. Easy Language programming: I do have really stupid and super small easy language coding needs. These are the kinds of things I think you could do in 15 mins or less. Ex. trying to modify a parabolic function to use it on the plot of a custom oscillator I use. Just on the plot would be good enough. I want to use this plot as an alternative kind of “signal” line. Or – I have an Adaptive Zones TSI type Indicator which is helpful to determine trend stage – and it constantly gets “divide by zero errors” – despite my best amateur efforts to code this out. Need help with that. Anyway as you can see, I am not a programmer. Hope some of this makes sense – please let me know if you are interested and what you might charge. These days my budget is pretty limited, to be clear. Best regards – love your site and ideas –	Hi M Thanks for your interest. The price of Mach-Trend is high due to the work involved in creating it, and this is the reason why I offer a demo version to "get a feel for it" before committing the full payment. I am sure you can appreciate its not practically possible for me to create custom screenshots on the data from customers due to time constraints. The demo is priced at $197 and if the full version is purchased at a later date, the demo cost is deducted from the full price. The symbols used on my screenshots are UK stocks for which the historical data is available free from yahoo or google finance so comparisons can be made to your own models. I can solve your division by zero bugs for free right here, simply ensure that you include this line of code before divisions. if value1 = 0 then value1 = 0.0001; Then you can proceed to divide your number by value1 and you wont get the error messages, but you have to ask yourself why you are getting zero values in that variable in the first place, and if it is a zero then what do you require it to be. Divisions are best avoided in programming as they use more cpu time, so if you need to divide by 2, the pc will compute faster if you say x 0.5 instead. The parabolic signal line I can do for you for $100 but first please send the exact open code (copy and paste instead of ELA) of the custom indicator so I can be certain it can be done and of what you need. Please include a full description of details, inputs needed etc. Payment is in advance and will be refunded if the task cannot be completed. You can pay on the payment pages on the lower section for private consulting. (One hour minimum) https://www.precisiontradingsystems.com/payments.htm Hope that helps Regards Roger
Roger That simulation is a nice piece of work, I am suitably impressed. But you don't say when the new version of that system is going to be released? Can you let me know? Cheers E	Hello E Thanks for the catch, and the positive comments on the simulation video, the new version of precision stop is out in January 2011 Watch the simulation video here
Good Afternoon Roger, After thinking about our conversation yesterday, I am going to follow through on setting up Precision Oscillator first and then move to Precision Stop, though I would still like to know why you believe the latter is better than the former and why you charge less for the better program? Thanks, E	Is the F1 Mclaren better... than a 4 x 4 Range rover, as it costs so much more? Would you drive the F1 Mclaren through this landscape? Precision oscillator will perform better in a choppy - ranging - non trending market... Just as the Precision stop, Mach-Trend or PLA would perform better in a trending market. A Mclaren F1 costs many times more than a 4 x 4 as much more effort went into its production. Supply and demand also effects costing.
Roger I get this error after installing PLA on an empty EURUSD 5 minute chart per the instructions on your PLA tutorial page. EXCEPTION_INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO The attached picture shows what is described below. I'm quite happy to try any settings you feel may help. Thanks, J (Client had a division by zero error showing in Tradestation, due to my error in sending out the wrong files, remote fixing log is shown in the right column}	J, Please install teamviewer and install the free version, then send me your session id and password which you can find in the "wait for session tab" You can inform me in advance what times are suitable, as I am here in England and you are in USA. I can then access your pc and have a look to see what is happening. You can open up a notepad or word doc so we can type messages over to each other. This problem has never occurred before with me or any of my customers. Regards Roger (Remote pc session log shown below} Rogers comments in red ===Note: Type "eom" when done speaking.=== Hi there Roger. I'm all set for you test PLA on this PC. eom Hello J are you here? Somehow the indicator was looking at the wrong function, I think I must have sent you a bad combination of ELA. files, just let me test the other one. Please arrange the 4 charts on the screen so we can see them all at once. okay... good? Cand you add another one so there are 4 whoops. i sec. DONE? OKI 1 sec okay now done eom THANKS ==== 1 sec i'm a keyboard fan so i minimized all the buttons... that sould do it eom hey roger... i work iwth the EUR/USD on the 5minute chart if you could put the inidicator on the eur/usd 5min that's all i really want. eom What is eom? lol. End Of Message. To indicate i'm done typing since we're shareing the same input window. eom ok got it eom, :) hey could you change the time frame to 5min? eom Please note that PLA uses an unusual length algorithm, so if you set length to 100 you might need to set the "max number of bars this strategy will reference" to 3 times the length period you choose, or it wont plot. So we have sorted it out, its my fault, I sent you some of the wrong files so it was looking for PLA function instead of the PLA_PW function. I will give you 10% off any more purchases as an act of goodwill. Hope you are happy now? eom thank you very much. yes i look forward to playing with the PLA. Um...i want to install PLA on my laptop also. Can you send me the correct set of files in an email? eom. Yes no problem, if you buy anything else please drop me an email first to remind me i gave you a discount so u can send via paypay instead of just going through the payment pages. What is your opinion of my site? can you give me some feedback good or bad? or ideas to make it better? eom its much easier to navigate then Jurik's. And the indicators are presented cleanly. Before i forget: if I want to call the Precision lagless average what function do i pick? or do they both work (pla and pla_pw)? eom I already deleted the PLA function, so you need to use the PLA_PW function. If you just try installing pla colours and NOTHING else, your laptop will work fine. as the function is embeded in the ELA file. You can try it now while I am here and let me know if it works ok for you. I am here for a while so give it a shot while i am here. eom Much appreciated. I actually haven't installed TradeStaion on my laptop yet but i would like to quickly restart TS and call the pla_pw function myself to confirm it works after restarting tradestation. i need about 5-10 minutes. eom We are calling it already in the signal stragegy. but i am happy to wait while you restart it. eom okay super. Years of working with computers have taught me to always restart any application to confirm fixes are permanent. would you like me to submit a review of your helpful efforts to forexpeacearmy.com? eom Well any links to my site with positive comments are good for me, so that would be good. do you mind copy and pasting this log to me in email, so i can put it on my feedback page, it helps to show when an error happens that it will be fixed promptly. eom absolutely. And that is exactly the jist of the review I want to leave on forexpeacearmy.com. That's all. thanks again for all the help. eom See you thanks.
That looks like a $7000.00 trade in 9 days. The real deal in real time. Regards, M	Thanks for the screenshots, your success with the Pi-osc and Precision divergence finder are largely due to your patience and knowledge in knowing how to set them up correctly. I wish all my customers were as professional as you. See screenshot send in (No1)
Here is a remarkable chart of the SPX (S&P 500) it looks like its getting close to a high. Regards, M	Thanks for the screenshot See screenshot send in (No2)
After replying to your email I opened up my TradeStation program and this was the 1^st chart that came up. It says it all. Regards, M Maybe your indicators can breathe some life into those other platforms. I also feel you have discovered the Holy Grail with your Divergence Finder and Precision Index Oscillator. I could send you ten charts a day showing winning signals with your indicators.. Winning trades are there for those that wait. I look forward to all the new updates on your website. Regards, M Just had to send a couple of photo's of how fantastic you indicators are. Finially an indicator that is leading not lagging. Great on a 150 tick chart and 15 min. chart. The only thing I had to do was shorten the look back period to 30 days. When I went back 200 + days it took forever for the chart to load. I have checked the signals on both look back periods and they are the same. I am sure it is because of the high volume stocks I trade that the lower look back period works. Thanks also for offering these for the TradeStation 2000i platform. From a very satisfied customer. Regards, M	Hello M. Thanks for your positive comments. Precision divergence finder has never been a good seller as its too advanced for most to understand its use. Hence my reluctance to spend time on changing it over to Ninja trader. But if its not too much work I will consider it for you. You are in the top 10% of the "trading intelligence" level out of my customer base, so you can appreciate the quality of the work. Probably you would be amazed that even some of my fund manager customers don't even grasp the essential points, and they are looking after millions of dollars worth of other peoples money! Hope you keep winning, you obviously have the key elements of patience and discipline. Regards Roger See screenshot send in (No3 and 4)
Hi Roger, Am a big fan of your new indicator. My knowledge of writing code in Multicharts is unfortunately limited, is there a way to make a strategy code when it crosses above/below the zero line? Also, over several days i've noticed that divergences in the indicator itself can show some good set-ups, is there a code that can be written to highlight when there's a divergence between the indicator and price? Your gravity system looks interesting, let me know when its up and running. Saw this on the internet that may be of interest to you - https://carolan.org/indicators/ Thanks again, P	> Thanks for the kind words P, I am glad you are making good use of it. > > Yeah its possible to do that, the zero cross is pretty simple, but the > divergence is more complex. It will also slow down your cpu a bit, > divergences can be 10 bars back or hundreds of bars back, so the code has to > tell it to look at all of the bars, which takes up computing power. > > I can do the zero cross ( signal ) for free, but I suspect its better to > make it dynamic, so you optimise the best crossing points for long and > shorts, so will do it that way.

Hi Roger, I'm intrigued by your Lagless Average indicator, I have a couple of quick questions before I buy the indicator: 1. The chart comparison of PLA and JMA on your web pages shows that PLA stays locked on the trend while JMA reversed, yet at the same time PLA is faster than JMA at major turning points, it's commonly understood that you can't have an indicator that is resistant to minor reversal yet fast response at the same time, i don't quite understand how it is possible.... is it done thru self adjusting length? 2. Does PLA indicator stay unchanged once plotted on the chart? ...cos you know some indicators does hindsight and changes appearances once the trend or reversal is confirmed. 3. How does the anti-reverse option work? by stopping the moving average line changing direction until the reversal movement exceeding certain percent (similar to hindsight)? Thanks, K Hi Roger, thanks very much for the explanation ;-) I'm very impressed, just curious are you a self taught programmer? Since the Lagless Average is self adjusting, does it work the same way on all markets / situations? Cos you know, during your 9 weeks coding, one can unconsciously curve fit the codes in accordance with a few markets and be satisfied with the outcome on that particular market or scenario. yes certainly, you can add my questions to your FAQ section, which will help other traders as well. many thanks again, K hello Roger, thanks for the Insync Index, I will load it up into my MC. Oh yes, if you have other freebies, definitely I would like to see them in action. I have been testing the PLA last week, I now used it to smooth my other indicators, i'm very happy about its smoothing capabilities and speed. I'm also doing some testing on my trailing stop strategy similar to your Precision Stop strategy. So how's trading? I hope everything goes well. Once I can test out a tradable strategy I'll let you know ;-) K Hi Roger, thanks again for the addition of the freebies. Let met try them out. Regarding my trailing stop indicator, i'm not using it as a stop, instead I tried to use it as an automated trend following strategy, the exit rule for the buy side is that if the Close is below the trailing stop, then exit long positions next bar. I did some preliminary testing and optimization on the nasdaq emini index futures (NQ) over the last two months, it seemed to generate steady profit, however i don't have the continuous historical data for the symbol, so i can't tell how it will perform over the long run. Such strategy works best on trendy market, and doesn't work so well on choppy market such as forex. The attached screen shot is the equity curve of the strategy. cheers K	Hello K Curve fitting is usually the work of criminals trying to sell things, or of fools who think curve fitting is the correct route to test indicators and systems. So no curve fitting here. I am essentially a trader who dabbles in programming when the mood takes me, or when something is needed which doesn't already exist. I have many markets on which to observe the PLA to check its doing what its supposed to do. Like anything else it works better on some than others. But yes, to answer your question its fractal and effectively filters whatever data is sent into it. As moving averages tend to lend themselves to trend following systems, it obviously performs best on markets that trend well. I found a very useful lucky serendipitous discovery and that was as a tool for smoothing out indicators like demand index or RSI etc, and having good accurate filtering of these proved very useful. Yes I taught myself in Easylanguage only but I don't know .NET or C or any other languages. It started as a little bit of experimenting, as somebody was harping on about how good the Hull average was, saying it was better then JMA which I didn't believe as JMA had been the no1 for many years. So I read the Hull code, tried it out, like its speed, good early signalling of turning points, but didn't like the extreme overshooting, and extreme inaccuracy. In one evening I was able to design a better product than the Hull average and all other basic types. Exponential, simple, triangular, linear reg, timeseries, etc. Then I decided to try and improve on the JMA item, and this improvement proved to be a lot more difficult, eventually it became an obsession to make the best moving average available, as I generally do well in any area which I become obsessed with. I didn't think it would take 9 weeks, but I got there eventually. Thanks for your permission for adding your questions to FAQ. You raised some valid points which would help to remove fears of some sceptics. If you don't have pay-pal you can pay by check or bank transfer if you want. Regards Roger See screenshot send in (No5)
More trouble Roger, I am getting an error in Precision_stop_2009 Tried to reference back more bars (51) than allowed by current maxbarsback setting nothing on the screen at all....Thanks R Morning Roger I finally figured it out. PS was plotting off the screen, after I altered the min limit I found it hiding. Thanks for your help...Can't wait to try it....R	Please read the instructions R. Its all there 90 days back it needs
Thanks, Roger. Yes. Give me a month or so to take a look at the Mach Trend Demo, and then most likely I will be back to purchase the full version. I have a feeling that I'm inclined to trade more towards the 4 period end of things rather than the fixed 50. And, of course, the opportunity to run a genetic optimization is not to be passed over lightly. This is all very different from the way I trade. But highly intriguing, nevertheless. I trade in the classical sense. I first determine if a time series is in a trend mode or in a cycle mode. And then I apply the appropriate mathematical model to trade each segment. The Mach Trend approach appears to look for trends - even if we know they won't always be there - and then to minimize the effects of the resulting whipsaws in the non-trend mode with some sophisticated and clever mathematics. Extraordinary! I'm looking forward to seeing the results of trading this approach. Best wishes, F	Yes it minimises bad trades by quickly reversing and holds on to the major trends with its last dying breath...... Your method sounds interesting, similar to John Ehlers techniques. (Mesa software) I spent a lot time about 5 years ago working on such algorithms, but ended up with the realisation that its always better to bet in the assumption of a trend starting than to try and predict if the move will be a cycle or a big trend.

Time is running out... Credit availability is drying up...The cost of borrowing is gradually rising....US National debt to be equal to 35% of the entire worlds GDP in 3 years....33% of all USA tax revenues will be required just to make the INTEREST PAYMENTS on the collosal national debt...... Eventually the US will have no option other than to print money or default on their debt repayments...... US Dollars will likely cease to be the reserve currency of the world........Stimulus is running out, the Federal reserve has fired all its bullets and the only options left are to print more money or to default on the debt payments.....The problem is infinitely worse than in 1929 due to the added problem of this huge government debt...... In 1929 the USA still had a positive trade surplus and a manufacturing based economy..... In 2011 the USA will have no such resources to fall back on........The two most likely scenarios are both likely to lead to disaster......Hyper-Inflation at 40%+ or Deflationary implosion....... Either of the two possibilities will lead to huge moves in the worlds financial markets........Trading of these massive moves could be the only way out..........Wise proffessional traders have already started building huge dollar short posistions in anticipation of the debacles to come.....Many people will suffer as a result of the irresponsible un-elected Federal reserve operatives..........Many more people will lose their homes......Millions of jobs will be lost......Those who are unprepared will become impoverished in ways that they could never imagine.....What is your strategy to trade these violent market trends?.........ARE YOU READY?

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
